About this vendor
Hello there! Alex here - I'm a Hudson Valley NY based photographer available for weddings, elopements, engagements, boudoir, engagement, portraits, and everything in between and beyond! I like to think of my duties as a wedding photographer in a true photo journalistic capacity. I am a bonafide moment capturer. If there's a moment at your wedding that just brings you right back into the love of the day - one specific time your maid of honor made you laugh really hard, the feeling of your cheek on your husband's shoulder as you share your first dance, or just all the feels from the reception dance floor shenanigans - I'm there to capture and share those moments with you again. Thanks for visiting my storefront!

There are truly no words to describe the work of Alex (AJLstudio). Alex shot our wedding this past weekend (and our engagement shoot last year), and I am completey blown away with the results. Not only is Alex an extremely talented photographer, on the day of the wedding, he also acts a creative director, he knows exactly what to do and where to go and what time to do everything. I didn’t even have to think! Alex makes the whole experience easy and fun. He knows exactly how to make you feel comfortable when taking portraits ( we all know how awkward it feels to get your picture taken) and is ALWAYS excited to be there. On my wedding day, I didn’t want to feel like I was missing the party, which I made clear to Alex. He was careful to make sure that We were present - only pulling us away for a few short moments during magic hour (and thank god he did- the photos are amazing). He captured the whole night just perfectly. My friends and family had so much fun with him also. I recieved so many compliments and praises for Alex and his assistant Tanner - I’m pretty sure they have the business of all future weddings of my friends (lol). Alex sent me a sneak peek of our wedding album this morning and I am just in awe. His work is stunning. I can not wait to see the rest!!!!
Alex was incredible from start to finish. Such a great energy! He made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and it just felt like another friend celebrating our day who just happened to have a camera. The photos turned out beautifully—he’s got a great eye for drama. Never even had to give him a shot list because we trusted his eye so much, he had amazing ideas for shots all on his own. All in all it was a super organic process and we were so grateful to get to work with him. Our wedding story was kind of chaotic and nuts because we had to cancel our original wedding due to a medical emergency, and he was so empathetic and flexible through the whole ordeal. I would definitely recommend him to anyone!
Alex was the perfect person for our wedding & engagement shoots. He took the time to get to know us and make us feel comfortable and he was very flexible in meeting our needs. The resulting photos were excellent and delivered in a timely matter. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Alex and the AJL team were absolutely amazing to work with. They were very flexible and patient with us during the stressful planning time and had excellent suggestions on how best to shoot the engagement and wedding. Our wedding day was everything that we expected and more and Alex captured our special day and special moments on film. We will look back on our wedding and look at our pictures and re-live that memorable day. We strongly recommend Alex and AJL for your special day.
Alex is wonderful, if you're planning a wedding or any event that you may need a photographer for, I can't think of anyone better. He's unobtrusive at the right times, but enthusiastic and fun when the event calls for it. When I look at my daughter's wedding album, it's like I'm transported to the day again! He has a talent for capturing the personalities and emotions of his subjects, the feel of the intimate moments and the energetic ones. He's also just a really sweet person, and a pleasure to do business with. I highly recommend him!
Alex was an absolute DREAM to work with, I cannot recommend him enough. When we had our engagement shoot I thought it was going to be uncomfortable being intimate in front of a camera and that there was no way there would be a decent picture. I was so very wrong. Alex made both of feel incredibly comfortable, we were laughing and joking and felt an instant connection. His photos are breathtaking stylistically, but one of the best things is that he isn't all about the posing, Alex captures candid moments that you didn't know you wanted but are so happy you have. In addition, his turn around time on the photos is superb. Finally, another fantastic thing about this photographer is that he truly loves what he is doing and it shows in every aspect of his photos and demeanor.
If you book him for your special day I promise you, it will be the best decision you make.
Alex from AJL stands out from all other wedding photographers I’ve ever met and I’m so glad we went with him for ours. I’ve filmed and attended several weddings and the one thing I can say about photographers is they are very obtrusive. They stand in the same spot take a billion photos and make sure no one else including the videographer can see anything. Alex is a pro he gets his shot and pivots elsewhere for the next one meaning he is never obstructing much for very long. It can be hard to pick a photographer by looking at portfolios alone. Have a conversation with Alex and I guarantee your mind will be at ease at least when it comes to photography.
Alex was the perfect addition to our wedding day! As you can imagine, a lot of planning went into our special day but we were hoping to keep the event fairly low-key. The portfolio at AJL Studio was impressive, but then again, all professional photographers are, right? After having some discussions with Alex I was convinced he was the right guy for the job. I wanted simple, natural shots without being intrusive to us or our guests and that's just what we got. Alex was also extremely personable and got along really well with everyone, which meant our photos captured true joy. Hire him!
My husband and I did a lot of research trying to find the right photographer for us - when we met Alex, we knew it would be a seamless experience. Alex provided a lot of ‘packages’ to choose from and worked with what our aesthetic for the wedding was going to be. Since we got engaged and then married in 6 months, we did not want to do engagement photos, so Alex provided us tons of alternatives! He ended up shooting our rehearsal dinner, which is such an incredible memory for us.
Alex went above and beyond by having calls and meetings with us before the wedding and even went on a scouting shoot to both venues - so I was very confident in his vision for the day. On the day of the wedding Alex brought a second shooter named Gilbert, who was also phenomenal. It was like we were all long lost friends! Alex was everywhere during the wedding and got some shots where I look back and think, how did he get all these incredible photos! Alex works his a** off at your wedding and has fun doing it - such a great attitude.
Alex is the type of photographer to really understand your vision for the wedding and be supportive of it to the fullest. Alex provides luxury customer service for all of his clients and we are so lucky to have found Alex AND that he was available for our wedding. If you want a photographer that is genuine, professional and creative, Alex is your man. Book him now! Thank you so much AJL!
Let's get this out of the way first: Alex & ALJ Studios are fantastic. He was everywhere during the wedding weekend, yet he was so unobtrusive we didn't even realize he was there. But man - the results! Such amazing, NATURAL photos. Alex has the type of personality that can blend / enhance with any group of people - even possibly stressed out brides. And as the father of the bride, I know we got a massive bang for our buck.
Alex captured so many incredible moments of the weekend and I wish he was following me around all the time, because he made me look younger and better than I have in years. Alex is the man!!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Alex and his photography! He will shoot the most amazing photos of your most important day. I told Alex my favorite photo's are the candid ones and Alex knew exactly how to capture those during my wedding. Alex is super professional, easy to work with, and is also very funny. My whole family mentioned how great he was during the wedding. He never got in the way or was pushy about taking photos of everyone. I recently had a baby and I hit Alex up to let him know that he will also be shooting some family photo's of us very soon! You won't be sorry you chose AJL Studio to photograph your wedding and any other events you might need him for!!
We cannot say enough great things about AJL Studio and our wonderful experience with Alex on our wedding day. Choosing Alex as our wedding photographer was one of the best decision we made. He made the whole process enjoyable, natural, and most of all fun, even my family members were raving about his energy and his ability to make everyone laugh. Upon our initial meeting we discussed the key elements that we felt were important to us in our wedding photos and how we envisioned the day panning out. We really wanted to have photographs capturing the 'real' moments and emotions of the day and not just the standard 'posed' pictures. Alex was so attentive to our wishes and was able to capture every special moment that we were hoping for in the most beautiful way. The photographs surpassed our expectations and it is so wonderful to look back at them and feel like we can relive the day and all the emotions and joy that went along with it. We also got so many compliments from guest about Alex's wonderfully energetic personality and ability to make everyone laugh and feel at ease around him. He was so easy to communicate with, if we had and questions or concerns, we had no issue reaching him. We have the most authentic, unique, and fun wedding photos and we couldn't be happier.
Working with Alex to plan and shoot my wedding was an absolute joy. He was incredibly communicative and very helpful with the planning process - we relied on him to help determine the start time of our ceremony (for best lighting) and overall timing of the day. He worked with us to determine if we should do our first look prior to the ceremony or down the aisle. We ultimately chose to do it before so we could enjoy the cocktail hours with our family and friends. Planning the wedding and working with Alex was stress-free but inevitably my husband and I were both pretty anxious the day of the big event. To say Alex helped calm our nerves is a complete understatement. He made us feel SO comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. He helped stage us when we needed to set up a shot but then captured candid natural moments as they were happening. Him and his team were so professional and captured every moment perfectly while blending into the overall day. I could not recommend Alex and his team enough. Planning weddings can be annoying but do yourself a favor and hire Alex and make your life easier.
Planning a wedding is not easy - especially when the bride is in NYC and Mom is in South Florida. It’s critical to make the best use of your time when making important decisions - like choosing a photographer to capture one of the most important events in a lifetime. We met Alex for drinks one night in the city and we just knew he was the right choice. His demeanor, his plan, his preparation, and his price were absolutely perfect. And most important ..... he kept the bride and groom relaxed and comfortable for the entire day. He was with us from 9:00 am to capture all of the pre-wedding chaos and through the entire ceremony and reception. The pictures are amazing!! Don’t know how we will choose for the final album. We could not have asked a better photographer and now a special friend.
