He is incredibly friendly, patient, and truly dedicated to getting the perfect shot. You can tell he takes pride in his craft. Steven has a calm, relaxing presence that makes being in front of the camera feel natural instead of intimidating. He chats with you throughout the session so your photos come out genuine and effortless, not stiff or overly posed. His equipment is top-quality, and the results absolutely show it. Hands down one of the best photographers I've ever worked with. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for stunning, professional photos and an amazing overall experience.

Steven was incredibly patient while I spoke with my doctor, showed genuine empathy and compassion, and somehow turned what could have been an overwhelming experience into one that was comfortable and even enjoyable. It was difficult to hide my sadness, yet Steven had a remarkable ability to make me smile naturally. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful. Even though it was a professional headshot session, one candid photo of me with a genuine, natural laugh touched my heart. I loved it so much that I asked Steven to include it as well because I wanted to keep it as a cherished memory and share it with my family. What impressed me most wasn't only his talent behind the camera, but also his kindness afterward. Knowing what I was going through, he took the time to check on me, and that meant more than I can express. What could be better than working with someone who is exceptional both as a photographer and as a person? I will absolutely return to Steven for every special occasion. This photoshoot marked the beginning of my journey to preserve the important moments of my life with a truly gifted photographer. Thank you, Steven, for giving me beautiful memories during one of the most difficult days of my life.

On top of it, it was the most fun photo shoot I've ever had. The only problem I was left with was after the shoot when I had to decide which image to use as there were just too many excellent ones.

This was my fourth photoshoot with Oxana Alex Photography since 2016, and my only regret is not…read moredoing them more often! Oxana Alex's photos are my absolute best pictures and the warmest memories I will cherish for a lifetime. The Session & Atmosphere This time, we had a maternity photoshoot at 30 weeks. I am currently pregnant with our third child. We took photos of just me, and also with my husband and children. The session took place in late October 2025 and it went simply wonderfully. Oxana is the most gentle, caring, and patient person; she creates a beautiful atmosphere on set. Hair and Makeup Oxana had an incredible makeup artist who works for various brands, but mainly has been a makeup artist for the House of Dior for many years. I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done by her. It was stress-free, all on time, and the hair and makeup were simply stunning. Why Oxana Alex is the Best While deciding on my concepts, I looked through the portfolios of all the photographers in LA and can confidently say that Oxana's work is the best. Oxana and her studio have undeniable advantages: 1. Unmatched Professionalism and Lighting The key to a beautiful photograph is the lighting setup. I don't know how she does it, but all her photographs, even before editing, look absolutely perfect! This speaks volumes about her skill, technique, and camera equipment. 2. Extensive Premium Wardrobe Oxana has a huge wardrobe of premium items that she offers to clients for their shoots. You can be sure to find jewelry and looks for any creative idea, and it will look cool and stylish. The most difficult part for me was coordinating outfits for my family of four without a stylist: finding, ordering and trying on. I was so happy that I didn't have to put together my own outfit at all! I only bought underwear and one white blouse for myself. That's it! Everything else was provided by Oxana and fit perfectly. I also didn't want bulky dresses, as I feel they are going out of style; I wanted to be a stylish pregnant mom with more of a fashion focus. Thanks to her extensive wardrobe, we were able to achieve this as well as beautiful maternity gowns. 3. Professional Eye and Industry Experience With over 10 years in the industry, mostly shooting major bloggers and celebrities for covers, Oxana has a huge aesthetic background and an incredible sense of taste. She helps with posing and facial expressions. Even if you are not a professional model, it's impossible not to become one through her lens. 4. Unique Photo Delivery Policy The fact that she gives you all the successful, unedited photos is truly unique for Los Angeles. You only have to choose which of the many great photos you want edited. When I sent the unedited pictures to my relatives for help choosing, they didn't understand why they even needed editing?! That's how good the originals turned out! Again, this is due to the perfectly set lighting, her technique, and her professionalism. I could go on and on describing the process and how much we all, including my husband and children, enjoyed working with Oxana yet again. But I'll just say one thing: We are already planning to return for a mommy-and-me session! And this time, we won't miss a single milestone of our fifth family member. Thank you dear Oxana

We were beyond thrilled to have had Randi and Adrian be our wedding photographer & videographer!…read more While wedding planning: (found first on Yelp!) From the start, I spoke to Randi and she knew how to ask the right questions to figure out what kind of wedding vision & experience we wanted so that she could design it to make it whimsical, picturesque, romantic, and natural! (The wedding planning process is so busy and daunting too, and it's so difficult to shop and inquire with different vendors in all of the wedding planning categories. Randi made me feel so assured in how she and Adrian could go through the entire process for the wedding! My brother in law has always been interested in photography for decades, and helped to look at many different photographers' samples - and declared that Randi's was the best quality by far! Other's promised extras like drones and extra photos, but my BIL said their photo quality was very simple point+shoot. We also personally loved Adrian's sampling of his prior beach weddings! Minor bonus is he spoke a little Polish and that helped with some of the family photo shoots!) Handling our shoots: Myself being shyer and unsure especially how to pose, Randi & Adrian knew exactly how to guide us for our photos along with the ceremony, beach and mountain scenery, backdrop, and throughout the reception -- while also making the wedding night be captured naturally. We could tell the extreme level of effort and knowledge they physically and visually put into preparing the right timing, scenery, lighting and flow of the night to get all of the right shots! Final products: We loved the way all of the high quality photos and video turned out, including capturing backgrounds, family, friends, our many couples poses, and the ceremony + reception. Please see some photos I've added of the photo album that she designed! The photo album is such beautiful quality with glossy styling and gold-outlining on the thick pages, and the flow of the photos in the album all tell the perfect story of the wedding! (The 4k video theatrically captures the feelings and beautiful scenery of the entire wedding in a 3-min short that my family loved watching after, but of course is not pictured here).

The photos turned out stunning, capturing every special moment beautifully. I couldn't recommend Randi more!
