Littlehampton wedding specialist capturing documentary, reportage wedding photography. Alex creates relaxed, bespoke wedding and engagement images that tell the true story of your day.
Firefly Photographic is a Littlehampton-based wedding specialist offering bespoke, documentary-style wedding photography across Sussex and the wider UK. Alex Blackman, owner and lead photographer, grew up with a camera in hand and a darkroom at home — a lifelong love of photography that he turned into a professional career in 2016. That personal history informs a thoughtful, detail-led approach: he sees each wedding as a unique story to be recorded honestly and beautifully. As a dedicated wedding photographer, Alex works in a relaxed reportage style, blending unobtrusive documentary coverage with considered portraits when you want them. Whether it’s a full-day documentary or a ceremony-only session, Firefly adapts to your plans — from candid preparations and emotional vows to the laughter of speeches and the small handcrafted details that make your day yours. Alex uses Canon full-frame DSLR cameras and professional 'L' lenses, then refines images in Lightroom and Photoshop to deliver creative, high-quality wedding photos. Why choose Firefly Photographic? The difference is in the combination of specialist focus and a warm, calm presence on the day. Alex aims to put couples and guests at ease so real moments can unfold naturally. He balances capturing spontaneous emotion with delivering formal group shots and innovative bridal portraits on request. Testimonials from past couples highlight not just stunning images but also Alex’s friendly professionalism — many comment that he felt like a welcome guest while remaining focused and organised. Working with Firefly is straightforward and personal. Alex likes to get to know you before the wedding, discuss your priorities, and tailor coverage to what matters most — whether that’s extended documentary coverage, engagement portraits, or short ceremony shoots. As a business rooted in weddings and events, Firefly also offers event photography and videography as supplementary services for couples who want a fuller record of their celebrations. Based in Littlehampton, Firefly Photographic combines local knowledge of Sussex venues with an experienced, specialist eye for weddings. If you’re planning a wedding and want professional wedding photos that truly reflect the spirit of your day, Alex would be delighted to talk through your plans and create a bespoke photography package that fits your vision.
