There are not enough words to describe how much we love Alex or how talented he is! Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures were beyond beautiful and we have received numerous compliments on how amazing they are. Alex is not only so kind, responsive, and communicative, but also had a way of putting us at ease which was reflected in our photos and made them that much better. His artistic vision and eye for capturing the “unstaged” moments is also just unmatched. Not to mention, we feel like we gained a friend in the process. We don’t have enough good things to say about Alex and would recommend him a million times over!

Alex was amazing from day 1! We booked him for our October wedding. He made us feel so comfortable with the process, talked us through all the scheduling items, and was very flexible! He and his team arrived on time, followed us to multiple locations, and found the most beautiful areas to take portraits in. Our photos were returned exactly 1 month from our wedding date, with over 1000 edited photos! I never expected to be so in love with photos of myself, but he genuinely made us feel beautiful, confident, and carefree!
I highly recommend AG Dayton!

AG Photography is truly the best! They shot our wedding back in March, and I’m still having random people comment about how much they love our photos and ask who took them. Alex was so incredibly kind to work with and listened to all of my specific requests. I wanted mostly couple portraits, and we received so many gorgeous shots of us AND MORE! Him and his team were very professional and genuinely seemed so happy to shoot weddings. I could not recommend AG Photography more!

I had the opportunity to work with Alex on a wedding at Magnolia Estate. As a DJ, I firmly believe that collaboration between vendors is essential for a successful day. Alex was a true pleasure to work with. His professionalism and attention to detail was refreshing. He was responsive, always courteous, and went above and beyond to ensure that everything ran smoothly. If you’re looking for a creative, outgoing photographer who prioritizes the needs of their couples, Alex and AG Photography are the ideal choice.

Can't express how thankful we are to have found AG Photography! They did such an amazing job capturing our special day. We are absolutely in love with our photos. It even stormed our wedding day and Alex and team knew exactly what to do. Did I mention it took only a week for them to turn around our photos? Fantastic!

I chose to hire A.G. Photography right away because I was very impressed by Alex’s portfolio online and he was very fast to respond but also very kind. My husband and I are not great at taking photos, but Alex was patient, kind, and fun to work with. I highly recommend Alex for a wedding or any other occasion. The online portal was also easy to access and save photos that we liked. The photos came back very quickly and they are beautiful. Thanks again Alex and Fi!

Alex is an incredible photographer and person! He took time to get to know us and always made us feel comfortable in front of the camera! He had never been to our venue before so he took the time to meet me one day so we could walk around to find the best spots to take photos. We just got our pictures back within 10 DAYS and they are incredible!! Alex was always available via email or text and was quick to respond! Stop looking now and hrie Alex!!

Alex is an amazing photographer. My partner and I are a bit shy and introverted but he help us feel comfortable in front of the camera. We picked him based on his style and portfolio. We were so glad we did an engagement session with him. It helps us not be camera-shy on our big day! He went above and beyond and we were so pleased we picked him as our photographer!

Alex was absolutely INCREDIBLE! My bridal party was and awkward bunch and He made everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed, it was by far the easiest time I’ve ever had getting pictures taken.
He not only captured how beautiful the day was but he was able to capture the feeling of the day as well. I cannot recommend him enough!

We are so glad we booked Alex for our wedding day. From the start, his packages were straightforward, and his communication was quick! Our photos from our engagement shoot to our wedding day were STUNNING. A work of art. Alex made us feel comfortable from our initial meeting and executed our vision perfectly. The photos should be enough proof 😌 just book him!

We loved working with Alex (and Natasha)!! We booked Alex based on his portfolio and photography style. We are glad we did an engagement shoot with him, to get to know him and his style and in general feel comfortable on our wedding day. Alex was easy to work with and got amazing shots. He gave us a few photos the day of the wedding and we were blown away by the full gallery. He did not disappoint! He was easy to work with and a calm presence the day of the wedding. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND Alex!!

We do not have enough positive things to say about Alex. He is exceptional on both a personal and professional level. He is such a nice person and really went out of his way to make our wedding photos (and wedding day) exactly what we had hoped for!
We found Alex as a mention on Reddit when searching for photographers, and after looking up his work on Instagram, his style and attention to detail immediately clicked with us. It was by far the best recommendation from a stranger on the internet we have ever found. Alex is from Ohio, but we are in Boston and got married in Rhode Island. Alex was more than willing to travel out here, not only for our wedding but also drove to Boston to spend an afternoon doing an engagement shoot for us (way after our engagement). From the start, he worked with us throughout the entire planning process, scheduling several check-in calls to ensure that planning was going smoothly and providing whatever support he could. Alex considers all aspects of the wedding in his planning. From schedule to venue, weather, lighting, and interactions with coordinators and other vendors, he is on top of everything. The man is incredibly detailed, thoughtful, and thorough.
Alex truly goes out of his way to make sure your big day is exactly what you want it to be. He genuinely treats you as a friend, not as a client. He is incredibly personable, puts emphasis on your wants and peace of mind, and all of his interactions are easy going. On our wedding day, I was getting really nervous because the weather was supposed to turn bad, and Alex spent all morning helping me keep things in perspective and calm me down. He’s awesome, and we’d grab a beer with the guy any day of the week. Honestly, he really goes above and beyond, and we would recommend him to anybody looking for a top-notch photographer (and human being).
Alex’s prices are also super reasonable. We have been to a ton of weddings, including many extravagant/over-the-top, and have seen wedding photos from many of them. Alex does better.
I (the bride) wanted a specific look for our photos. I wanted everything to look very natural, candid and lots of classic, black and white photos. I sent Alex lots of examples so he could see my vision, and he nailed it. I am absolutely obsessed with how everything turned out and he was by far the biggest compliment regarding vendors that we received from our guests. He didn’t miss a single moment, and we couldn’t be more thankful!
Rating: 11/10. If you are looking for your photographer, you found him - don’t even think twice about it!

I loved Alex's ability to be both a friend and professional all at once. He made us feel comfy while taking photos, and that's saying something because it was like 30 degrees and windy outside. His photos all look incredible and he captured a wide range of shots. Could not recommend Alex any more. Please hire him.

Alex is amazing! He’s so fun, but still very professional, and SO good at his job. He always got back to us super quickly (even the final pictures came back faster than expected) and he knows all the best angles to get the shot just right. Most of all, we always felt comfortable and we’re always laughing. This guy knows what he’s doing!

Alex is such an awesome photographer! He made the photography planning for our wedding so simple and straight forward. He also brought up a ton of different photo opportunities and moments that we never would have thought of ourselves. Alex was always very quick to respond to any questions or concerns that we had, and he was super chill to work with. He managed to capture a huge variety of shots and angles of our wedding that all came out great! His guidance on how to stand and how to pose were also super helpful. I would totally recommend Alex to provide photo coverage for any event that you have. He does a really great job!

Look no further, you've found the right photographer for you! Alex was so much fun to work with, and this comes from someone who feels very awkward in front of a camera! From our first phone conversation to every interaction we had after, Alex's kindness shines through in everything he does. He and his second shooter were so professional, and captured so many special moments from our day that we now have to cherish forever. He even managed to send several proof photos DURING the reception while he was still photographing! I honestly am so grateful to have found Alex and look forward to using his services for many life-events in the future!

Alex was the greatest photographer we could of asked for. He was accommodating with requests, and also was phenomenal at staging us and our bridal party so that we looked amazing. He also captured so many candid moments of our ceremony and reception that we have treasured for years. He is a photographer that we have continued to work with outside of just our wedding and he has always come through with nothing but the most well edited and beautifully shot photos that we could have asked for. Would recommend to any and all friends and family that are looking for someone with experience and a level of professionalism that is unmatched by anyone in the area.

It was so great to have Alex taking photos for our wedding. We are not naturals in front of the camera, but Alex is so easy to be around that we were able to relax and just act like ourselves. We had a blast and laughed the whole time. We absolutely love our photos and have only good things to say about the experience!! Alex did a great job capturing the small, special, candid moments as well. Not only that, but he got our photos to us so much quicker than we expected! We only have good things to say, and would highly recommend him!

Alex and his team should be at the top of your guest list! Alex was so organized before and day-of my wedding. He captured all of my desired moments, from fine details to big picture, and made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable in the process. I really value his creativity and skill in curating images that are gorgeous and timeless. My husband and I will cherish these photos forever.

Alex met with my husband and I prior to our wedding & reception to go over plans and fully understand what was most important to us. He wanted to know every detail, asked great questions, and gave us valuable suggestions. We left the meeting feeling assured and even more excited.
The day of, it felt as if our life-long friend was our photographer. Not only is he easy, fun, and comfortable to work with, but he joined us in celebrating the meaning and magnitude of every moment. The end results were beautifully captured photos that display his talent and creative-eye.
He was, of course, also punctual, attentive, communicative, and flexible. You will not regret choosing Alex.

Alex did an awesome job with our wedding and I would HIGHLY recommend him to anyone! His communication was excellent when reaching out to us before the wedding to try to get to know what we were looking for with our photos. He was prompt and very attentive to get the perfect shots to capture our day. He got back to us very quickly with the finished photos and we were so impressed! They are absolutely lovely and perfectly captured all of the special memories from our day. I can't say enough about how pleased we are with our experience with A.G. Photography!

Alex is an incredible photographer and human being. Not only does he have skills & creativity but he’s a hospitable and humble guy. I’ll definitely be reaching out to work with him many more times. I just wish that I knew about him when we got married so we could’ve had him shoot for that! Don’t think twice before hiring him. You won’t regret it.

Alex is such a talented photographer and his personality was so easy to work with -- we really trusted him to capture "us" on our wedding day and not just staged photos. Aside from how easy he is to work with, the quality of his work has been above and beyond what we could have asked for. 10 out of 10 in my book!

We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos today and I am on the edge of my seat waiting for the rest! Alex is an amazingly talented photographer and very professional, but what really sets him apart is his personality. I truly believe Alex and his easy going, charismatic personality helped make our scheduled wedding day timeline feel like a breeze. There was zero stress, or weirdness with any of our photo sessions. It was like working with an old friend. Highly, highly recommend him.

We are blown away by the quality of pictures we received from AG Photography!! Alex was extremely easy to work with, and was willing to "go with the flow" for our unrehearsed courthouse wedding. He spent a lot of time with us, and had great ideas. Alex was also very affordable and got us our pictures quickly. I could not have asked for a better photographer for our realxed, special day. We are so very happy we chose AG Photography!!
