AlekseyK Photography

ecial moment beautifully from the emotional first look to the fun on the dance floor without ever feeling intrusive. The photos are absolutely stunning. Every image feels natural, full of emotion, and perfectly tells the story of our day. We’ve received so many compliments from family and friends about how gorgeous the pictures turned out. Beyond the amazing photos, Aleksey helped us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera, keeping everything organized, relaxed and fun. Their attention to detail and creative eye made all the difference. We’ll cherish these photos forever. If you’re looking for someone who truly loves what they do and delivers beyond expectations, we couldn’t recommend AlekseyK Photography enough!

His photos brought me to tears, and I didn’t even know the people in them. From our very first conversation, we were so impressed by Aleksey’s professionalism, experience, and incredible attention to detail in preparing our wedding day timeline. My husband and I were living out of state, and Aleksey made it so easy to meet virtually and stay connected. Even though he had never photographed at our venue before, he went above and beyond researching the location and lighting to ensure everything was perfectly timed. He truly spent the most time planning with us, and we appreciated his expertise.  We ended up changing our photo locations three times (including one major change a week before the wedding!), and Aleksey was so flexible and accommodating. We’re also so grateful we upgraded our package to include his wife, Leah, and videography. Aleksey and Leah are an incredible team — organized, professional, and SO kind.  We chose to do our first look, creative photos, and family formals before the ceremony which worked out perfectly. We were able to fully enjoy our cocktail hour while Aleksey and Leah captured amazing candid moments of our guests. We had many young children and babies at our wedding, and Aleksey’s patience and ability to get them to smile and laugh was so impressive — everyone in our families commented on how wonderful he and Leah were to work with!  Our guests couldn’t stop talking about how seamlessly Aleksey and Leah worked throughout the day — capturing stunning, emotional candid moments while somehow being completely unobtrusive. They kept us relaxed, laughing, and truly enjoying every photo. When we received our gallery, we laughed and cried all over again. The way Aleksey and Leah captured the emotions of the day is beyond words. These photos will be treasured for the rest of our lives. I truly believe that your photographer is one of the most important investments you can make for your wedding, because the photos and video are what last forever. With Aleksey’s incredible talent, you will feel the emotions of your day every time you look through your photos. We are endlessly grateful for Aleksey and Leah and cannot recommend AlekseyK Photography highly enough.

us multiple times over the year to plan, made sure we felt prepared, and on the day of, he went above and beyond—keeping us on schedule, offering great suggestions, and rolling with the punches when things ran behind. His attention to detail was unmatched, and he genuinely felt like our unofficial day-of coordinator. He made the entire experience smooth and enjoyable, and our photos reflect that perfectly. Prompt, organized, and full of energy, he exceeded every expectation we had. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better!

mes through in their work, we were amazed by the photos. We received our sneak preview two days after our wedding - truly unheard of and sooo fun to share with friends right after. Then shortly after (2.5 weeks post wedding) we received the full album and were blownnnn away. Over 2000 photos - they captured the emotion and feeling of the day, caught amazing moments of close all of our guests, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you Leah and Aleksey!!!!!

would work with him again!

elped us plan some off-site photos, gave us plenty of wedding logistics advice, and made sure to follow-up with us when we were too busy ourselves! They were also both very flexible in the process. Throughout our planning we decided to add different services (such as a Henna night shoot), additional videos for ceremony and toasts, and even changed the day of our Henna night after we set it. Aleksey was able to accommodate all those requests and make sure we could add whatever services we needed. On the day of they were both very professional, timely, and took brilliant photos. They helped keep us on time and were able to adjust accordingly when we were behind about an hour in getting the wedding party ready. We still got all of our shoots and more. The best part was I had asked them for specific shoots with different friend groups (hockey team, fraternity, etc.) and throughout the night they were hunting me and the crew down to make sure we got the pictures before people left. Can't recommend them enough.

mals, or just some really nice posed shots that somehow managed to fit in in between all that, they all look amazing. We had an outdoor wedding, and Aleksey took some phenomenal photos with the lighting. Aleksey also did a lot to get us in the right state of mind to take some really great photos. He's really funny and a genuinely nice guy, and that really helped us to relax, smile and laugh for more natural looking photos. Not to mention all of my friends and family that talked to us about him after (which was more than a few!) said they loved him. He was super communicative throughout the whole thing too. We met with him on a video call at least 3 times before the actual day, and we'd been emailing back and forth as well. And I have to say this again, the pictures were amazing. 10/10

me to adjust anything that was off or looked awkward. Our engagement photos done by Aleskey turned out absolutely stunning and we cannot wait to see our final wedding photos. We cannot recommend this dream team enough!

us every step of the way. They helped us immensely with our timeline, offering suggestions but never orders. They helped us get the day we wanted and we were never rushed. The pictures came back quickly and they are GORGEOUS. I usually do not like how I photograph but Aleksey and Leah really captured the emotions of the day. The photos are works of art. They captured so many moments even when I did not know they were there. Our guests said the same thing--they enhanced the day but they did not interfere with the day, blovk the guests, etc. All of the comments we received from our guests were 100% positive. My husband and I (and everyone else) felt very comfortable with them, The film they made for us makes me cry every time I watch it. I am a type A personality who has high expectations. My expectations were surpassed. They are the consummate professionals who captured all of the moments we asked for plus many more. Check out their gallery. You will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend them enough.

has a great eye and does an amazing job capturing the vision. His personality only adds to his skill set - he has a great way of loosening people up in front of the lens to help capture genuine smiles and candid moments. 10/10 would recommend to everyone.

by my venue. He truly goes above and beyond to get the perfect shot and made everyone in my bridal party feel extremely comfortable being on camera. I cannot say enough wonderful things about his work, everyone LOVED my preview photos and we cannot wait to see the rest. Aleksey is undoubtedly talented and a perfect choice for your perfect day.

tient with us and great at giving good directions. They were very timely and great at keeping the wedding party on schedule. Highly recommend Alekseyk photography! Couldn’t imagine working with any one else on our wedding day!

Family, friends, and other vendors all said what a fantastic job he did. When we got the sneak peak photos only 2 days after our day, we were blown away! Could not recommend him more, by far the best of the best!

loved him. We're also super appreciative that his wife came to help out with family formals because the church was rushing us. We will cherish their photos forever

roperly portrayed through a written review, but I will try to touch on the key points here. For a little background, I planned my wedding from thousands of miles away, so most things had an additional level of difficulty to it, which was to be expected. Alekseyk photography was not one of those things. Everything about the photography portion of the wedding was made simple and easy through the hard work of AlekseyK Photography. First of all, AlekseyK's communication was top notch. Even with the huge time zone difference, they responded to our questions and concerns quickly. Our meetings prior to the wedding were incredibly helpful and informative. They also provided a written timeline and notes to keep us on track. Secondly, their customer service was wonderful and it really showed. All of my guests have reached out to me to compliment this team of photographers. Aleksey and his wife provided direction where needed, and were both friendly and kind. They assisted with so many things beyond the scope of what they were hired for. Third, their timeliness was greatly appreciated. We received our photographs well within the time frame we were given by them. We were certainly not expecting to get our photographs so quickly, but it was the best surprise we could have asked for. And finally- the photos themselves. We could tell from our first meeting, and through reviewing their portfolio, that this team had knowledge, experience, and talent. When we got the photos of our wedding, we were absolutely blown away- even with knowing what a great photographer they are. They were able to capture memories, not just pictures. You can see everyone's personality shining through the photos, and you can feel the love that was shared. We adore every photo we received. To get a little emotional-our wedding photographer choice was an incredibly important one to me, considering my father is very ill and I don't have much time left with him. The quality photographs that they were able to get of him enjoying one of the most important days of my life will be cherished by my family and I forever. I have an enormous level of gratitude for their work.

some was done with extreme patience and honest advice. I truly felt I had a set of friends with me the entire day- from start to my bustle detaching and Leah helping me to fix it- when I say I could not have asked for a better team I truly mean that. My entire bridal party plus my parents could not have spoke more highly of both of them. Their speedy turnaround time For a sneak peek of over 70 photos 2 days after was mind blowing, with the photos being PHENOMENAL and everything we could have envisioned - and that was only the sneak peak. I can’t emphasize how much I highly recommend this dynamic duo! I truly promise you will be so happy with this choice.

nyone and everyone! Many of our "sneak peek" photos were edited and back to us within two days. I am overjoyed with how wonderfully they captured our wedding.

d pictures we will adore forever. I would recommend Aleksey for anyone planning a wedding!

ayed on top of all the details that allowed me and my husband to actually relax and enjoy our day. Their photographs are stunning, we were given a “sneak peak” of photos the day after our wedding and I was blown away with the result. I cannot wait to see our full gallery! I would recommend them to anyone getting married without any doubt.

comfortable when we had never done a photoshoot before. We scheduled our engagement session with them along with the 12 hour package that they offer for our wedding. They worked with us on our timeline, expectations, and vision to ensure that we got all that we wanted out of the day. I would recommend AlekseyK Photography to everyone!

after we got engaged. From the engagement session to the wedding day, Aleksey and his wife Leah made us feel very comfortable and taken care of. Aleksey was so kind and patient with my relatives who did not speak English on the wedding day and captured gorgeous photos! We absolutely love every single photo that was delivered, and cannot be more happy with our decision to have them photograph our day.

nowledgeable, organized and efficient. He went above and beyond to prepare us for our day. Both Aleksey and Leah came prepared, whatever I needed they seemed to be able to have and help. He was so great with the kids; we have lots of nieces and nephews that were part of our day. They are a truly a wonderful team and we would love to work with them again. We look back at our sneak peeks almost every day in awe of what was captured.

nly know this and work within the confines of your event, but they collaborate with other vendors and those who perform the critical roles within your day to manage the flow so that you don’t have to. From our first consultation to the final goodbye at the end of our day A&L treated our wedding with the utmost care, asking us important questions so that they could understand and capture our vision. They made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world, and that feeling comes through in our photos. Throughout the event as A&L worked their magic we had the privilege of seeing a few previews of ones that they were particularly proud of and that told us two things; not only were we confident that our portfolio would be superb, but also that they genuinely care. Their passion for what they give you cannot be overstated. We haven’t been able to stop looking over the sneak peek package but if they are in any way indicative of the rest we are beyond excited. As we wait to see our final drop, we couldn’t wait to write this review. We want everyone to know how important A&L are to us. We want A&L to know how important they are to us. We want everyone to choose them. We will remember the best day of our lives in the same way that we experienced it, because of Aleksey and Leah. Thank you Aleksey and Leah, -Colin & Cassandra

ions on day of wedding timeline. We are very pleased with the outcome of the photos. My bride didn't feel well the day of the wedding and Photographer was very understanding.

e the rest when they are done. They're 10/10! Absolutely wouldn't change a thing about going with them for our big day.

ed. He helped us create a detailed timeline for our wedding. His background and knowledge of weddings was so helpful and I fully trusted his expertise. On the day of the wedding, he was prompt, professional, and incredibly helpful. He gave us directions on how to pose which was helpful for people that tend to be more camera shy! He accommodated all our requests for photos as well. And what can I say about the photos…they’re absolutely stunning! Better than I could have ever imagined. Aleksey and Leah, thank you for your incredible work and for helping to memorialize the best day of our lives.

we did as we were able to feel more comfortable and learn Aleksey's techniques. He made us feel so comfortable as we are typically awkward with taking pictures. During the wedding planning process, he was incredibly helpful with the schedule, flow of the day, and providing great suggestions for locations. So many guests came up to us during the wedding to tell us how amazing he was and how they felt he was a part of the family. He was able to manage all of the personalities of wedding party with ease. We were so impressed by how many moments and emotions he was able to capture. We are absolutely obsessed with our pictures and the whole experience. We would book him again in a heart beat!

re beyond thrilled with all of them! We've received tons of compliments and were able to make beautiful photo books from them to commemorate our special day. We really wanted a photographer that could capture traditional portraits as well as candid shots, and they did a beautiful job of both. Their attention to detail was especially appreciated. I never had to worry about my hair or dress being out of place because I felt confident they would fix/adjust anything as needed. The video was beautifully edited and I'm so happy we decided to add that option. It's also very nice that they offer photo and video, so you only have two people running around instead of 3 or 4. I feel that they are reasonably priced for the high quality of service provided. I highly recommend Aleksey!

in line and on time while also keeping us calm and collected! They were extremely thorough and easy to work with and we received a sneak peak of our photos just a couple of days after the wedding! So far they are STUNNING! I would highly recommend them!

at what they do. They both knew exactly the right angles for the best shots, keeping everyone on schedule, and having fun doing so! Aleksey is especially funny with his jokes to keep you laughing and feeling at ease. It was honestly such a wonderful experience from start to finish. And also, I have to Ofcourse mention all of the effort Aleksey put into BEFORE the events also- the hour long video chats with my husband and I, and the timeline that he put together and also re-edited a couple times too when a few of our plans changed- all of these little details did not go unnoticed by us. I would highly HIGHLY recommend using AlekseyKPhotography- he runs such a professional and class business, and we are SO happy we went with them!!!! We are actually going to miss him, not seeing him anymore. But I’m sure if we ever need professional pictures down the road, he will be the first person we call!!

e the wedding, Aleksey was super communicative with us and even carved out multiple meetings to go over the wedding timeline and talk through who would be involved in our wedding. During our wedding, Aleksey and Leah ensured we were on schedule so that we did not have to stress about time. Most importantly, their demeanors put us at ease throughout what can be a stressful planning process. Aleksey and Leah are masters at their craft, and I recommend them to any couple looking to capture all of the beauty of their wedding day!

ior to buying any goods or services. Aleksey's portfolio was stellar, but I wasn't quite sure how he would work out for us. Aleksey was great during all our video calls pre-wedding. He was even better on the wedding day. If it wasn't for his wife and him, we would not have such a well organized wedding shoot. Our photos came out phenomenal! We've received compliments that we had an amazing photographer, and we definitely did! Our wedding was at the Buffalo History Museum, and they were like photo ninjas. My wife and I had no idea they were around us, and many were surprised too, but they were suddenly there to capture the best moments. Aleksey and Leah are great at what they do, and this is very important on your Wedding Day. In fact, we (and family) would consider his work the best in Buffalo, so we highly recommend choosing them!

and gives you a well thought out schedule. He was very helpful with planning our day out. We had a large bridal party and he still was able to keep them all on schedule! He is very funny and makes for a fun day without stress! We got our sneak peek wedding pictures very quickly and we were able to relive our wedding day from start to finish! We knew once we saw our engagement pictures we had no worries that our big day was going to be spectacular! Highly recommended!!!

at really capture the emotion of the day. In addition to the photography, Aleksey and Leah go above and beyond. First of all, they are extremely organized and are on top of initiating scheduling for planning meetings where a schedule is organized for the entire day. Second, this organization translates into quick turn around on your pictures! Third, they will make the day of run smooth. They help you stick to your schedule and they work great as a team. Moreover, they are kind and supportive so you feel comfortable with them all day long. Lastly, Leah was a real MVP the day of our wedding, she had everything we needed from fashion tape to pins in her bag. When my bustle ended up not working, she literally sewed an impromptu bustle between the ceremony and reception effectively saving the day! I can't say enough kind things about Aleksey and Leah, we were so happy to work with them!

antastic they were through the whole process. From our very first meeting Aleksey’s professionalism and expertise were apparent. We had two meetings prior to the wedding during which he gave advice and helped us develop our timeline. Of all of our vendors, Aleksey’s prep process was the most well planned and seamless. During our engagement session we knew that we chose the right photographer when he had us feeling comfortable in front of the camera and we left knowing our wedding would be in good hands. Throughout the wedding day Aleksey and Leah were flexible, calm, and kept us on schedule without making us feel rushed. They were able to flawlessly transition from quietly documenting moments like our first look to directing the whole family for portraits. We had multiple guests compliment their ability to help everyone pose to look their best, even in big group shots. They were excellent with all of our family members- grandparents, toddlers, and dogs included! To top it off, they went above and beyond their photographer duties- Leah was even ready to sew up my dress when my bustle broke. We are so impressed with the number and quality of photos we have gotten in our initial sneak peek just a few days after the wedding. They truly captured the emotions of the day. We could not be happier with our experience with Aleksey and Leah and highly recommend them!

d beyond to make sure the whole day was on time and went smoothly. I highly recommend hiring them to capture your special day, you will not be disappointed!
