La vie est belle, life is beautiful ! Photography is my way of celebrating each moment, each person, actively seeking their unique beauty, what is special and moving. I shoot from the heart.

What I do

Photography is a way of life  for me. I am passionate about it and always ready for new adventures.  As I enjoy meeting new people and get excited about ideas, life stories, babies, I shoot mainly weddings and lifestyle but enjoy working with vendors too and supporting each other.
Weddings are very emotional –  I still tear up –  but quite nerve racking too.  To minimize your nerves, I offer to meet up beforehand and do an engagement shoot, so we can discuss your ideas, have a go,  have a laugh, you relax and get used to having your photograph taken. When you see the pre-wedding photographs, you know it will be ok on the day.

At the wedding I like being with the bride from the preparations – as a female friend, to lend a hand and give a hug if needed – to the first dance so I can tell the whole story in an album of your choice.

I am a Leicestershire photographer but have shot weddings in Italy, France, Spain and Ireland, so will happily travel to your venue. Browse the galleries of my favourites images, see whole weddings on the blog and on slideshows, so find out more or get in touch

From birth to big family events, Valentines to anniversaries, photos not only capture but colour our memories. In all lifestyle photography sessions, I take time to get to know you, really see you, and even if you don’t usually like your photo taken, whatever your age, you can see yourself through my eyes and feel good. Look through the galleries, find out more or ask me a question

Bespoke work to suit your business, your shop, your website, I work with many wedding vendors from flowers to bridal wear, not forgetting cakes. I also work with a variety of other businesses: schools, fashion shops, dentists, trainers… to suit their shop, website, social media. I shoot a variety of events too, from music and theatre performances, PR events, reportages, conferences… I adapt to your settings and requirements. See some of my commercial work or get in touch

It’s always a great honour to get published. As a wedding photographer, I am proud to have been featured in the following magazines. The brides love it too, imagine getting a magazine featuring your wedding photographs, quite exciting isn’t it!

Testimonials

"We could not have hoped for a better wedding photographer. Everything we wanted was perfectly executed. The day was very unusual and varied events made it fast moving and hectic at times and Alix managed to capture every moment naturally. Communication was a pleasure. And with a fantastic selection of photos to choose from we now have a wedding album to die for!!!"
