We used Alex & Jana Photography for our wedding in August 2025, and they were one of the best decisions we made. They were the first to build our timeline and helped us really understand the flow of the day, which took so much stress off our shoulders while planning and coordinating all of the other details. On the wedding day, they struck the perfect balance - warm, friendly, and professional - while making us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. They came up with fun and creative shots that turned out absolutely breathtaking. The photos captured not only us, but also the beauty of the venue in a way we'll cherish forever. What stood out most was how seamless they were. We barely noticed them throughout the day, and yet they caught every moment. It never felt like we were "posing" or being staged - they let us be present while quietly capturing everything in the background. We couldn't be happier with the experience or the photos. If you want photographers who are organized, easy to work with, and deliver stunning images, Alex & Jana are the team to book. read more

We were so fortunate to have Alex & Jana as our wedding photographer! Alex was our lead photographer and him and his team were amazing. As someone not in front of the camera often, we both felt so comfortable and at ease taking our wedding photos & engagement photos with Alex! The photos come out so natural, relaxed, and beautiful! Can't wait to see the rest of them! read more

Long overdue review! We had the pleasure of having Alex & Jana photograph our wedding in October and we could not be happier with our decision. I reached out to them with an online inquiry and they got back with me immediately. From the get go, the process was SO seamless. We purchased a package that included an engagement shoot (which I highly recommend so you can get comfortable with your photographer before your wedding day!!) We wanted to do our engagement shoot in our home and Alex arrived prepared with all the equipment and fun ideas for photos. Alex made my husband and I feel SO comfortable - he is so calm, professional, funny, and friendly. We absolutely LOVED how our engagement photos came out, so we were totally confident when our wedding day came around. Fast forward to our wedding day, Alex arrived at the hotel I was getting ready at. Alex was SUPER organized, on schedule, and managed to get a ton of great shots in the midst of the morning-of madness (brides, you know how that is!). Throughout our entire wedding day, Alex kept everyone organized, gave clear instructions, and helped the day run SO smoothly. He even managed to get a ton of photos of the decor and all of our guests, which I so appreciated! When we got our wedding photos back, we were amazed. From prewedding, to first look, to the ceremony, to the reception, Alex managed to get SO MANY great shots. We are forever grateful for the amazing work Alex & Jana did to make our wedding day so special. We will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!! read more

There is a reason why Alex & Jana have received loads of awards. They are simply amazing. Alex shot our wedding day this past weekend and he made it SO easy to be in front of the camera. We had so much fun. He was so communicative and easy to work with from day 1 and is extremely talented and dedicated to his work. We cannot wait to see edited pics and know they are going to be so beautiful. If you need a photographer, look no further than Alex & Jana. Thank you Alex and team!! read more

Covid bride here! We were engaged in 2019, and our first major decision was booking Alex from Alex and Jana Photography. Photos were a top priority, so I knew I needed to act fast. Alex was the photographer at a friend's wedding earlier that year. After their recommendation and a phone call with Alex, I knew we found our photographer. Then came Covid. After postponements and cancellations, Alex stayed by our side. He was beyond professional throughout the process, especially as we all navigated through the pandemic. Our engagement photos were taken at Palomar Mountain. It was a beautiful winter day with snow on the ground too. So surreal. Alex was personable and down to earth, and truly made us both comfortable throughout the process. I actually had FUN taking photos! The pictures were stunning and were used for our save the dates as well. Throughout the wedding planning process, Alex was very involved. I appreciated his attention to detail and extensive knowledge. He always put us at ease too, especially with the photo list! Alex was amazing on our wedding day this July! He captured everyone and every small detail with such natural beauty and grace. He made us all feel comfortable being photographed too. His ideas for photos were so creative and thoughtful, and turned out better than I could have ever possibly imagined. Alex actually was the real hero too...coming in clutch with some Pepto Bismol for my husband. Literally. Saved. The. Day. Alex thought of everything, and for that I will be forever grateful. In addition to our engagement and wedding package, we also purchased his photo booth, as well as photo albums. The photo booth was an absolute HIT! It's easily portable and it was moved from cocktail hour to the dance floor later in the evening. The process of choosing photos for print is so simple with his website too. We are so blessed to have shared this milestone with Alex. We have a photographer for life and cannot recommend him enough. We love you Alex! read more

I cannot say enough terrific things about Alex and Jana. After the first meeting, I knew I met the photographer for my day. Alex is such a calming individual, as I rambled on an on Alex took notes and was so encouraging. In the months leading up to the wedding, I was a basket case, I was forgetting things. Alex was terrific in reminding me about what he needed before the wedding. Alex was also terrific in responding to emails, answering texts, and phone calls. Nothing was ever left unanswered. The day of the wedding I got the opportunity to work with Jana who is an absolute GEM. Jana has an infectious and cheerful personality, I could not help but to smile when she was around. Jana even helped my mom with my dress! When we were taking the portraits, Jana was quick and efficient. She noticed when the littlest members of our wedding party were getting squirley. and needed to have their photos taken. She made me feel beautiful on my day!! I also got a sneak peak of my photos and I am so glad I hired Alex and Jana! If you're hunting for a photographer, hire Alex and Jana! you won't regret it!! read more

Alex's photos are vibrant and gorgeous! We've worked together numerous times, and I'm always so thrilled to know that he's the photographer on site. He's professional, courteous, kind, happy, and talented - an awesome mix to keep the guests at a celebration looking great in the images. read more

SERIOUSLY, LOOK NO FURTHER! Alex and Jana are the absolute best! They are very professional but they make you feel like you are their most important client. With a COVID wedding, they were a dream to work with and were so accommodating. Alex really took the time to get to know us to make sure we were a good fit before the wedding. We were able to use Emily, one of their photographers, for our Engagement shoot. Emily was wonderful and did a really great job and capturing the look we were going for and had many helpful words to guide us through the initial awkwardness of a couple that had never taken professional photos before. Jana shot our wedding and we could not be happier. She was a ball of joy and made both my husband and I feel like supermodels. We had so much fun together. Our photos came back promptly and they were GORGEOUS! We can't wait for future photo shoots with them. read more

My wife and I just got back our wedding photos and they were everything we imagined & more. We would have expected nothing less of Alex though. He was professional and on top of things the whole way through. From being open-minded and doing our engagement photos in the blistering heat to going up on a roof with us on the day of the wedding, Alex has an amazing eye and makes you feel super comfortable while he gets the perfect photo! Now we will have these incredible photos to look back on for years to come. I recommend using Alex & Jana for your special day 100%. You couldn't get a nicer bunch and they are super talented too. I know I'm biased, but just look at the photos I posted! These could be in magazines! Alex - thanks for the memories! read more

Jana was an absolute dream to work with, from beginning to end. My wife and I loved the balance that she brought between listening carefully to our vision for our wedding and offering her excellent professional advice. This was particularly valuable after we had to adjust our plans due to the pandemic, shifting from a 100-person wedding in downtown San Diego to an 8-person elopement at Point Loma. Jana checked in with us regularly throughout several months of uncertainty, offered suggestions, and was consistently responsive and flexible as our plans evolved. On the actual day of our elopement, Jana was incredibly professional and warm, and made it super easy for us to feel authentic and relaxed as she captured our first look, family photos, and vows. Our families had nothing but kind words for the amazing energy that she brought to the day as our photographer. The day was not what either of us initially envisioned, and yet ended up being exactly what we both wanted - and we're so grateful to Jana for capturing the experience and making the process easy, fun, and light-hearted. read more

Alex & Jana photography is truly the best. Jana is so kind, professional, responsive and personable. Not only did they make the wedding day fun and comfortable, but everyone there just LOVED them. Our pictures left me speechless. Jana and Christine went above and beyond. Thank you both :) read more

Alex and Dina were the best photographers we could have asked for on our big day! Their energy was just amazing and they helped us feel so comfortable. We are absolutely thrilled with our photos. So many of our moments perfectly captured. I love all the emotions they were able to catch, I felt like we were able to relive our wedding day. Can't thank this team enough! read more

You will not regret booking Alex & Jana Photography, TRUST ME. From the moment my husband and I sat down and chatted with Alex, we knew that he was the perfect fit. The photos sell themselves, but Alex was so pleasant and easy to talk to. We trusted him fully and he delivered big time. I might also mention as a side note that our original wedding was moved because of the pandemic and Alex took my frantic messages and reschedule questions head on. Once we finally got to have our rescheduled wedding, him and his assistant were timely and never made me nervous once, in fact, they really helped me feel at ease with how relaxed and organized they were. We could not be more happy with the images we received. There are so many that we love they wont even all fit into one of the albums we can purchase from them. If you appreciate their aesthetic and how they play with the focus you will go bananas for this work.. The quality of the images are astounding. I cannot believe how GQ they made my husband look. Alex made our wedding totally magazine worthy. We will cherish these images for the rest of our lives and we hope that generations after us will too. These are precious, precious images. Worth every single last cent. read more

My husband and I love our wedding photos! We were married in spring at a winery in Temecula. Alex had been to the winery before so it was awesome he was familiar with the place and knew all great photo spots. Him and his wife Jana are both quick to respond to emails and such which is always great since wedding planning can be stressful at times and it's just good to touch base quickly with people. Me and my husband got to meet them before the wedding and they are both lovely nice people. Alex was very patient and positive the whole day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Me and my husband are very happy with our photos and the whole experience. Would definitely recommend them for any beautiful photos and great memories you want to look back at and remember always. read more

Alex was our photographer for our wedding this past Nov, as well as our engagement session last February. Having him on our vendor team was one of the best decision we made we made in the planning process. We went to Crestline/Lake Arrowhead area for the engagement shoot and Alex was more than accommodating when we got hit with unexpected snow. On the day of the wedding, he and his second photographer captured the most amazing shots of both my husband and I and our loved ones. Looking throughout the wedding album was like reliving our wedding day again. In summary, Alex is extremely professional and just so good at what he does. He made our big day so memorable, and we couldn't be more appreciative! read more

My wife and I couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with Alex and Jana. We had initially booked Alex to shoot our engagement photos in June 2019. Throughout the entire process Alex was very responsive and willing to work with us at every step. We had first planned for photos at the San Juan Capistrano Mission, but because they closed early in the day, Alex suggested that we look for another location in order to catch the sunset. We ended up shooting the photos at Balboa Park. Alex was familiar with the location so he knew where and when to start. My wife and I were very happy with how the photos turned out. Regarding our wedding (July 2020), they were very flexible with us given the situation with COVID. We had initially planned for 1 photographer for 8 hours. Since my wife and I couldn't have a reception, we no longer needed an 8 hour photographer. We explained our situation to Alex and he was kind enough to draft up another contract of 2 photographers for 4 hours each - without charging any additional fees or penalties. I thought this was really nice of them since it was one less thing to worry about, given the situation with the pandemic. We ended up receiving the photos within one month of the ceremony and were very pleased with how they turned out. I would recommend Alex and Jana to anyone looking for professional, responsive, accommodating photographers. read more

My husband and I could not be happier that we chose Alex and Jana Photography for our wedding. We were really struggling with finding a photographer whose style we loved and whose price tag would not completely break the bank and then we found Alex and Jana! We planned our wedding from out of state so i met them in person for the first time the day of our wedding but they seemed like friends right off the bat. They were so sweet and easy to work with and honestly they kept my day in line leading up to the big moments. We are so happy with all of our photos!! I am thankful to have had them at our wedding and I would highlight recommend them to anybody searching for the perfect wedding photographer. read more

Alex and Jana are both awesome! Jana shot our engagement photos and Alex shot our wedding photos and we are in love with both. They are truly a magic duo! read more

The best part about working with Alex and Jana Photography is how they were able to capture our backyard wedding and make it feel like a million bucks. The photos are natural and beautiful all around. We knew we wanted the sunset photos during the golden hour, and they exceeded expectations. My family felt very comfortable and the photographer was so professional and so kind! I would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone looking for amazing wedding photography packages!! read more

My husband and I got married on 12/16/17 so this review has been a long time coming. Alex and Jana were a pleasure to work with and they really brought our big day to life while not completely breaking the bank. Being Mexican and Catholic, there were so many rituals that were part of our ceremony and of the reception and Alex and Jana were there to capture them with so my style and flair. They were such a pleasure to work with since our first meeting until our big day and beyond; always responsive/communicative when we had questions or concerns. They are so patient as my husband and I are still trying to choose our final pictures for our prints/photobook (thanks for that ^_^ ). Not only that, but they also captured our engagement photos and Alex was really attentive to our requests. We wanted a winter-y feel to our whole wedding. We had requested/suggested a few spots around Lake Gregory, but he still drove out ahead of our shoot to scope out some spots that still had snow, just like we had wanted. The attention to detail is just amazing and super professional! Gracias Alex and Jana for capturing our special day(s)! read more

Jana was a dream come true as our wedding photographer! Our wedding was a destination wedding and she did an incredible job creating a timeline and communicating throughout the process to take the burden off of us. She was organized and captured so many details we can look back on forever. She was energetic and so friendly, it made us feel so comfortable the day of the wedding. We were in the best hands! read more

Alex and team deserve 5 stars, and perhaps more if that were possible for a variety of reasons. First and foremost, Alex is incredibly prompt and professional. While that may seem like a non-issue, it is critical to have a photographer you can count on. And second, with covid he has displayed incredible flexibility and understanding. There are other companies that try to screw people with their contracts or lock them in. The complete opposite with Alex, since he was accommodating and willing to work with us. Times like covid bring out people's true colors, and Alex has shown that he is a good person through and through. read more

When we first started looking for photographers we were immediately drawn to Alex and Jana after our preliminary phone call with Alex . He was so easy to talk to on the phone and he truly made us feel comfortable and confident that he would be able to capture our wedding day the way we wanted. Throughout the process they were always quick to respond to our questions via email and phone and always made us feel comfortable. They were so organized, which allowed us to enjoy our wedding and not worry about the details. We loved their ability to make us feel relaxed for the photos and really enjoyed talking to them throughout the photoshoot. We cannot express how thankful we were to have worked with them this past weekend. We also wanted to say thank you for the photo mirror!! It was an absolute fan favorite with our guests and we have already had a few friends ask us about getting one for their own weddings/parties. read more

This is a very late review! We had the pleasure of working with Alex for our Engagement photos and wedding on March 4, 2017. We loved having Alex as our photographer! My husband and I are not ones that like to be in the spotlight and have all the attention on us but Alex made us feel very comfortable throughout the whole process. He and his wife Jana always responded back very quickly if I had any questions. All of our pictures came out looking great and we will definitely being referring him! Thank you Alex! read more

Jana was fantastic! So sweet, warm, and easy to work with. We love our photos and couldn't be happier with our overall experience. Thank you so much Jana! -The Davissons read more

Why can't we give 6 stars? Words cannot express how grateful we are for Alex and Jana. They became much more than photographers, and served as more of a guiding light as we dealt with our cancelled wedding turned elopement. From the day we told them plans were changing, they were accommodating and caring, had the greatest ideas, and always reassured us things were going to be okay. Their quality of work, attention to detail, and quick turn around times will have us singing their praises for years. We are lucky to have the photos that they took hang in our home forever. After months of searching for the best vendors, we hit it out of the park with Alex and Jana. read more

Jana was so wonderful on the day and helped make us feel so comfortable and at ease, which resulted in much more natural looking photos. I would highly recommend! read more

Had the pleasure of working with Alex at a wedding recently. He does excellent work, has a great eye for style and the experience to know how to capture just the right moment. As the DJ company at the wedding, I appreciated his flexibility and willingness to do a couple of creative shots with the bride & our DJ. Thanks Alex. Looking forward to working with you again and will not hesitate to recommend you. read more

We reached out to Alex and Jana somewhat last minute by wedding standards (three months before) and are so, so grateful they were available on our day. Alex was very responsive to our first inquiry and from the very first conversation, which included lots of common interests and shared photography philosophies, we knew we had found a match. We wanted a photographer that would focus on the natural and candid moments, but also be assertive enough to guide and direct people if faces were being blocked or stray hairs were everywhere. Alex and Jana were exactly that! All of the preparation before the wedding was easy and simple, and we found their pricing incredibly reasonable for the value of the experience and the quality of the photographs we received after. As non-wedding people, they were particularly great at helping us navigate the more traditional elements of wedding and whether we wanted them. We were not that into the idea of a "first look," or "getting ready" photos, but Alex and Jana helped explain that regardless of whether we capture it, there will always be great moments where you see each other for the first time, or are with the people you love helping you, and those can be captured without feeling overly staged. We are now so glad we listened and have those moments saved! They also did a really fantastic job on site scoping out great shots for the whole family and for just the couple, while listening to our preferences and thoughts as well. We were so fortunate to be able to have both Alex and Jana on site to shoot our wedding and cannot recommend either of them enough! read more

Alex and Jana were the best and easiest to work with. They are professional, flexible, and quick to respond to any of my questions. The package that we chose was such a great price and the fact that you get a album and prints is so great! On the day of my wedding Alex was on time and did an amazing job capturing all the moments of the day and even made really good suggestions to make sure we got the best shots. We are so happy that we went with them it was honestly one of the best referrals we have ever gotten. Thank you again for everything. read more

We had Alex Bruce's service for our wedding yesterday and he was fantastic! He showed up on time and got every shot we requested plus more candid shots us and family. He was fun, polite and came equipped for every situation. Would definitely work with him again read more

Alex was our wedding photographer and we absolutely loved him and his fabulous pictures!! From our first meeting - over coffee - we knew he was the one for us. It was a no-brainer decision. Our personalities just clicked, and I personally really liked that he had the perfect combo of high energy in a very relaxed demeanor. That turned out to be exactly what we needed on our wedding day. The pictures he took are so magical. He captured so many amazing moments, and we never ever felt like we were posing. It was all very organic and natural. I loved the way he worked! The family photo shoot ahead of the ceremony was also very relaxed and easy. And all the candid shots were so great. Alex really marked the day for us in a way we will never forget, and I can't recommend him enough. Though I didn't get to meet Jana, she helped coordinate things on email and was very sweet during those interactions. I'm sure her work is as stellar as Alex's! What a power couple! read more

Alex photographed my wedding in December of 2015 and I am taken back to my wedding day perfectly because of his beautiful photos!! Secondly, the image and color is just stunning. Thirdly, it was within my budget. Last but not least, he is super friendly and professional, look no further- you found your photographer! Thank you Alex! read more

Our initial pictures look great and we are very pleased with his work! Would definitely recommend him for your special event! read more
