LETs Get
Acquainted.
I'm a chilled out guy who loves beer, music and laughter. I just shoot weddings to escape my two young kids; Betsy and Albert!
Just kidding. A bit.
Things you should know about me:
I have a ̶b̶e̶a̶r̶d̶ tache [currently]
I have a wife and two amazing, [currently small] humans.
I love Star Wars - she does not.
I have a dog.
I enjoy playing video games - specifically FPS - Call of Duty
I wear my cameras on my hips but I am still no closer to becoming a cowboy. :[
I have whittled 2 spoons.




2005
Picked up my first digital camera. I proceeded to fall in love with the level of freedom digital photography gave me. I took my camera with me to Mexico and i haven't stopped shooting ever since.
2010
Got into film photography, shooting on my dad's old camera [Yashica FX-3 for the nerds] and started developing at home and at jessops - where I used to work.
2018
Shot my first ever wedding for a friend. It was her trust that gave me the opportunity I needed. Alex Bates Photography was born from then. I've gone on to shoot many more and absolutely love the joys and creative challenges that this career has afforded me.

For the carefree, the untraditional and the madly in love. •
