We scheduled the photo start time for 2 PM, annd Alex showed up at 12:00PM to begin setting up. My makeup artist told me this is Alex style. Once he finished setting up the video equipment, he went to the site to start capturing the details--shots of my dress, my beautiful high heels, and jewelry. He was so detailed, trying to get different angles of the shots, which I really liked. I spent a lot of money on my dress and accessories, and I definitely wanted to capture them in my book. The ceremony was outside under the stage, and he guided us to the back area, which had more greenery, for our family and wedding party portraits. He was so funny and creative--everyone enjoyed his sense of humor. I believe he has a gift for making people feel comfortable and de-stressed. He even made my 85-year-old grandmother smile, which I hadn't seen in a long, long time. During the ceremony, he captured so many different shots, from wide angles to close-ups. He stayed close to us but kept enough distance so that the guests felt comfortable. I remember at my sister's wedding, her photographer stayed too close to everyone, and it felt awkward. We received over 2,000 proofs to select from and ended up choosing 250 instead of the 200 we planned. Thank you, Alex and your team, for capturing this wonderful lifetime memory for us. We really appreciate your hard work and sense of humor. Whenever I visit my grandma, she still remembers your name. You definitely have a gift and talent for bringing happiness to others. Irene K.

We just had our third outdoor family session with Alex in the last three years recently. This time…read morewe had a total of 8 people (my sister's and my families with grandma). As parents, family sessions can sometimes feel stressful especially with a large group, but Alex made the entire process effortless and fun. He was incredibly patient with our kids and captured such beautiful, candid moments that truly reflect our family's personality. He also very patiently full-filled my sister's wishes of have many different poses with her two impatient teenagers who normally reluctant to pose "intimately" with their mother. Somehow, Alex was able to make the boys follow his directions with different beautiful poses. The final gallery was amazing and we will treasure these photos forever. Highly recommend!"

You can see her warmth right away when you meet her. She is someone who makes sure you don't feel uncomfortable in any situation and knows to capture those stunning moments while laughing and having fun. On our wedding day, she captured our special moments and each picture told a story and knew how to keep things fun and not stressful at all.
