Wedding PhotographerAbout Alexander Kabanov
I specialise in corporate events, weddings, performing arts (including dance, opera and theatre), sports events, and artist portraiture. My style focuses on capturing authentic moments, atmosphere, and key highlights while remaining unobtrusive during live events.
Clients choose me for reliability, fast turnaround, and the ability to work confidently in challenging environments: from low-light venues and stage performances to fast-paced events and weddings. I am fully equipped for any professional event coverage and available across Dorset, Hampshire, Somerset, Wiltshire, London and Nationwide.
Our Story
My approach is rooted in documentary storytelling, observing events naturally rather than staging them. This allows me to capture genuine emotions, key moments, and the overall atmosphere of weddings and live events. After moving to the UK and settling in Dorset, I now provide professional photography for weddings, performances, corporate events, and cultural projects across the South of England and nationwide.
I am particularly inspired by human expression, movement, and genuine moments, and aim to document each occasion with discretion, reliability, and a strong focus on creating a cohesive and visually compelling story.
Our Team
For larger events or multi-day bookings, I can collaborate with trusted second photographers and videographers when required, depending on the scale and needs of the event.
Experience
From 2017 to 2022, I worked as an advertising and in-house photographer for commercial and institutional clients, including a petrochemical company and the British and Indian Embassies in Moscow, where I provided professional coverage of official events, cultural programmes, and media projects. During the same period, I worked closely with the Bolshoi Ballet Academy as a photographer and camera operator, and photographed productions and artists from major ballet theatres such as the Kremlin Ballet, Stanislavsky Ballet Theatre, and the Moscow Ballet Company.
My documentary work has included several published photo series on international dancers in Moscow, combining artistic portraiture with observational storytelling. After relocating to the UK in 2022 and settling in Dorset, I have continued to offer professional wedding, event, and performance photography, bringing over a decade of international experience, reliability, and a discreet documentary style suited to both formal and fast-paced environments.
Typical Clients
With over 15 years of professional experience, I specialise in capturing natural, candid moments, real emotions, and the atmosphere of each event, working discreetly and reliably in both formal and fast-paced environments.
Credentials
Experienced in photographing live performances, weddings, corporate events, and fast-paced environments where discretion, reliability, and consistent delivery are essential.

OUTSTANDING WORK
We couldn’t recommend Alexander more. He did a splendid job with absolutely stunning pictures and was super kind, professional and patient with all the guests.
Exceptional photographer
We chose Alex to be our wedding photographer, and we could not be more thrilled with the outcome. From start to finish, Alex made us feel completely comfortable and at ease. He took the time to help us understand the process, get to know us and, most importantly, understand what we really wanted from our photos, including our personal style and the kind of atmosphere we wanted to capture. He also somehow managed to bring out our silly and fun side, resulting in photos that feel genuinely like us. His candid work was equally exceptional, with all of our guests benefiting from his experience, incredible eye and ability to capture those little moments you might otherwise miss.
Fantastic service
Finding a photographer who delivers exceptional images is one thing, but finding someone who makes the entire experience unforgettable is truly rare. Aleksandr kabanov provides the absolute best service from start to finish Their gentle nature created a relaxed, joyful atmosphere, allowing for beautifully authentic moments to be captured. The dedication to their craft is matched only by their outstanding heart and lovely character. Thank you,, Aleksandr for your incredible work and for treating us like family!"
Great photos/videos by an excellent professional
Great photos and videos taken by Mr. Alexander Kabanov at our event on Sunday 28th June 2026 at the Royal Academy of Music in London - Mr. Kabanov communicated very clearly and politely all throughout, and was very professional from the first message and remained very professional even after delivering his great work - his fee is very reasonable indeed, for the quality of his photos and videos plus his communication and professionalism throughout. I/we would not hesitate to work with him again - thank you very much to AddToEvent for the initial professional connection. Very best wishes, Bobby (info@musiclessonsmarylebone.co.uk)
Alex was absolutely brilliant in every respect:
I can’t fault Alex in any way. Despite the short notice he arrived early to get the lie of the land and set up his equipment . His attention to detail was brilliant and he kept his focus and patience even with toddlers running around and the general chaos engendered by a family of 30! This was a special family occasion, probably never to be repeated, and my sister will return home to NZ with some precious pictures.. I can absolutely recommend Alex for any photographic requirements.
