Alex and Jana Photography

we couldn’t have asked for anything more! If you want a photographer that will capture and bring to every candid smile, laugh, & moment to life, then Alex is your guy!

lopsided and there are photos of subjects posing at the rehearsal dinner with drinks in the background. Also, the poses look stiff, I should have asked for more candids. I wish I was more explicit and shown photos that I like that are on Pinterest. The bride, my daughter, ordered a lot of photos and was happy with the results-so thats what counts:)

e but I was so wrong!! I can hardly pick which ones I like the best to hang on my wall. We really wanted to focus on pictures of the party and dancing and Alex captured the fun so well!! They also offer a service to make a professional photo book which is so convenient. I was going to make one anyways but it has made the process a world easier to go through them for this. I couldn’t be happier. These photos are so special and will be treasured forever. Hire them for your wedding!! You will NOT regret. 

et to know his style early on, and their team captured the most amazing moments the weekend of our wedding. They knew all our big surprises and made sure to get the best shots of them. We also loved our film and are so glad we did that as well. They truly worked with us to capture our big weekend in the best possible way. Highly recommend Alex & Jana!!

genuinely excited about capturing our day. We had the same vision for our wedding day - natural, real photos of us. On the wedding day, Alex and his team made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. They captured all the little moments that made the day special, the big emotional shots during our ceremony, and the candid laughs on the dance floor. We have received our sneak peaks, and are so happy with them! We cannot wait to see the rest of the gallery. We just know they will be amazing. Looking through the images we have brought back memories, and I know they will for years to come. If you’re considering Alex & Jana Photography for your wedding, do it! Alex is not only an incredibly talented photographer but also a wonderful person to have by your side on such an important day. We will cherish these photos forever. Thank you, Alex and Team, for capturing our memories so beautifully! — Peri and Ryan Kay

sistently suggested the best ideas to make our day special. He was incredibly gentle and supportive through the entire planning process which made a world of difference when planning a wedding. His dedication, creativity, and professionalism truly shine through every aspect of our experience. Alex and his team have delivered us with the most beautiful photos and we deeply appreciate all the time and effort they put into making our photos so beautiful. Thank you, Alex, for everything you do! We couldn't be happier with the stunning photos that perfectly reflect the love and joy of our special day! The Riveras

You won't want it to end! We had opted for a public beach for our engagement photos, and we were initially shy, but Jana has a way about her that immediately put us at ease, and we had a incredibly fun shoot that resulted in photos we absolutely adore. She is so optimistic, energetic, excited, she makes it impossible not to have a great time, and then she captures that fun on camera. She is also an absolute professional and collaborative partner throughout the entire process, from initial conversations, through our engagement photo session, planning the wedding photos, and of course the day itself. She was just as brilliant with large groups, organizing bodies, as she was with just the two of us. Several of our family and friends also commented on how great she was. And to top it all off, the photos are absolutely GORGEOUS. If you want someone whose energy adds to the day without distracting, who feels like part of the family, and yet can blend into the background, then Jana is your person. We'd hire her again in a heartbeat.

so happy to have chosen Jana to photograph our special day – we can’t recommend her enough!

y single photo was breathtaking — I honestly can’t even pick a favorite! Jana has this incredible ability to capture us as a couple, making the entire process so much fun. We’re not models and tend to get a bit awkward in front of the camera, but she made us feel so comfortable and effortlessly brought out the best in us. On the big day, her energy was infectious, and she captured every single moment perfectly. We also decided to add 35mm film to our package, and I can confidently say it was the second best decision we made, right behind choosing Jana as our photographer. The film shots are absolutely stunning! And Bri her second shooter was just as amazing!! Throughout the wedding, Jana beautifully captured every little detail and all our loved ones, freezing the most perfect moments in time. When it comes to such an important day, you want someone you can trust to capture all the emotions and details — and Jana did that and so much more. We are beyond grateful to have worked with her and couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. Her energy, creativity, and artistry exceeded all our expectations. We absolutely love Jana and will cherish these photos forever!

ted Alex, the owner, to be our photographer, however, he became sick with Covid two days before our wedding. This was communicated to us immediately with a plan identifying our new photographers and assuring us that our memories would still be beautifully captured. Christine stepped in as our lead photographer and along with the other photographer we felt comfortable and at ease on the day of our wedding. The communication and professionalism with which the situation was handled along with the warmth of the team really makes Alex and Jana stand out. We were also pleasantly surprised to get a “sneak peak” of our photos 2 weeks after our wedding and we are so excited to see the rest! We would definitely recommend them as your go to wedding photographers.

to planning day of shots to the actual wedding day was smooth and easy. We highly recommend Alex and Jana Photography for anyone planning a wedding in the Southern California area! Thank you so much for everything!

ographer as he really captured some great natural moments while also directing us for posed pictures.

have picked a better team for our wedding day. I could not give a higher recommendation for them. We loved them!

had no idea what to expect, and even gave recommendations for other vendors like hair and makeup. On our wedding day, Alex was professional, relaxed, and very personable. He was great to work with and our sneak peek is absolutely amazing. I can’t wait to see the rest of our photos, I know they’ll be gorgeous!

Jana handled both effortlessly. My husband and I are no models, we can be awkward and have one go-to pose for every photo but Jana worked her magic and captured such a variety of beautiful shots! From our engagement shoot to the wedding day, she made us feel completely at ease, providing clear and helpful directions. She is so helpful during the wedding planning process and will help you come up with the perfect timeline. On our wedding day, Jana was professional and efficient. She got everything done without missing a beat! Not only is she incredibly sweet and kind, but the photos turned out absolutely stunning. We love the natural colors of her photos plus the light and airy whimsical feel. We were blown away by how quickly we received our sneak peek, and the full gallery arrived a month earlier than expected. We love Jana and can’t recommend her highly enough!

own away by both her talent and kindness!

work with, look no further. We ended up having Hannah as our wedding photographer and loved our experience with her. Thank you Alex and thank you Hannah, for giving us the gift of timeless memories and making this such a simple process for us. You are truly amazing!

e while shooting, as my husband and I are pretty awkward in front of the camera. Jana is personable, friendly, communicative, and is a true master of her craft. I can’t say enough good things about her, but trust it’s worth every penny.

we were prepared for our wedding day. Our actual photographers for the wedding were Christine and Amy, and they were phenomenal!! We were so pleased with our photos in the end. The photos and editing are beautiful, I can’t recommend them enough!

ivery of our photos, every step of the process was seamless and filled with professionalism. Communication was impeccable throughout the entire journey. Jana took the time to understand our vision, preferences, and even provided valuable insights to enhance our photo experience. They were prompt in responding to emails and queries, making us feel at ease and confident that our memories were in capable hands. On the wedding day, Jana exhibited a perfect blend of professionalism and warmth. She blended into the background during candid moments, capturing raw emotions without being intrusive. During the posed sessions, Jana skillfully guided us to ensure we looked our best while maintaining a relaxed and enjoyable atmosphere. The post-production work exceeded our expectations & we are truly obsessed with every photo that was captured on the big day. I would not hesitate to book Alex & Jana! Thank you, Alex & Jana for making our wedding day even more memorable with your exceptional talent and professionalism!

ease all day. Highly recommend hiring her team for your big day!

dy that night. My husband and I dont always feel the most comfortable in front of the camera, but Alex had a way of making us feel completely at ease. He was so personable and easy to work with. We also used him for our engagement photos and had such a fun evening shooting at the beach with him. I can't say enough amazing things about his work and I couldn't have imagined working with anyone else. We will forever look back at our photos and be grateful we had him shoot our wedding. Thank you Alex!

ind and made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera as it was our first time being professionally photographed together. Through the whole lead up to our wedding, my husband and I kept saying how glad we were that Jana was going to be our photographer. She was also so responsive and helpful, and answered any question we had quickly. She even referred us to the wedding coordinator we ended up getting to work with! On the day of our wedding, I was feeling pretty stressed and anxious when I arrived to the venue. Jana was already there and greeted me with a huge smile, and her kindness and positivity helped put me at ease. In addition to being incredibly talented, Jana is a wonderfully kind person who added so much joy to our entire wedding day. Friends and family kept coming up to us to comment on how much they loved her energy! We received our wedding photo preview shortly after our day, and I cannot even begin to describe how STUNNING every single photo is. From the details photos, to our first look, to our formal photos with family and the bridal party, to all our romantic couples shots, there is truly not a bad photo in the bunch. I don't even know how we can possibly select which ones to go on our walls...and this is just from the sneak peek!! If you are looking for a photography team that will not only deliver the most gorgeous photos of your wedding but also enhance your day with joy and laughs, Alex and Jana are absolutely for you.

era. The pre-wedding conversations were great. We were able to talk about the photography style we were into and Alex even visited the venue before the wedding day. My family was very impressed with his kindness and professionalism. We also booked the gif station and the guests loved it. The sneak peak photos were so beautiful and we are so excited to see the rest of them. I highly recommend booking Alex and Jana Photography, especially if you have an outdoors venue like we did. You won’t regret it.

inquiry and they got back with me immediately. From the get go, the process was SO seamless. We purchased a package that included an engagement shoot (which I highly recommend so you can get comfortable with your photographer before your wedding day!!) We wanted to do our engagement shoot in our home and Alex arrived prepared with all the equipment and fun ideas for photos. Alex made my husband and I feel SO comfortable - he is so calm, professional, funny, and friendly. We absolutely LOVED how our engagement photos came out, so we were totally confident when our wedding day came around. Fast forward to our wedding day, Alex arrived at the hotel I was getting ready at. Alex was SUPER organized, on schedule, and managed to get a ton of great shots in the midst of the morning-of madness (brides, you know how that is!). Throughout our entire wedding day, Alex kept everyone organized, gave clear instructions, and helped the day run SO smoothly. He even managed to get a ton of photos of the decor and all of our guests, which I so appreciated! When we got our wedding photos back, we were amazed. From prewedding, to first look, to the ceremony, to the reception, Alex managed to get SO MANY great shots. We are forever grateful for the amazing work Alex & Jana did to make our wedding day so special. We will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!

Alex took notes and was so encouraging. In the months leading up to the wedding, I was a basket case, I was forgetting things. Alex was terrific in reminding me about what he needed before the wedding. Alex was also terrific in responding to emails, answering texts, and phone calls. Nothing was ever left unanswered. The day of the wedding I got the opportunity to work with Jana who is an absolute GEM. Jana has an infectious and cheerful personality, I could not help but to smile when she was around. Jana even helped my mom with my dress! When we were taking the portraits, Jana was quick and efficient. She noticed when the littlest members of our wedding party were getting squirley and needed to have their photos taken. She made me feel beautiful on my day!! I also got a sneak peak of my photos and I am so glad I hired Alex and Jana! If you're hunting for a photographer, hire Alex and Jana! you won't regret it!!

tossed out the rest of the list and hired Alex and Jana. We made the right decision - leading up to the wedding, the communication was excellent and made us feel at ease. Jasmyn ended up shooting our wedding and she was AMAZING - she made something that we feared would be awkward (who likes posing for photos?) into a fun, comfortable, enjoyable experience! We had lots of laughs (sorry for my “director” groomsman 😏) and she captured one of the best days of our lives in the most beautiful way. She had such a calm and lighthearted approach to maneuvering us for flattering shots, and our entire wedding enjoyed her presence. THANK YOU Alex and Jana (and Jasmyn!) for making our special day phenomenal!

tographer-she was punctual and efficient making taking pictures with large groups a breeze. I can't wait to see the pictures, because I know they will be amazing.

d highly recommend.

apturing our wedding day so perfectly.

and made us feel comfortable. Once it came to wedding day, it felt so easy! Our photos turned out beautiful. Jana really captured all of the emotions of the day and the special moments. We will definitely cherish these photos. Thank you so much Jana!

ly. The search was finally over! He was fun yet professional, a hard thing to do, and always quick to respond. And, was also patient with us and our very old dog during the engagement session. Then, leading up to the wedding asked for a few prep calls to ensure we had the important moments and photos in mind, connected on the timeline, and everything needed to ensure a flawless day of pictures. As much as we wanted him to capture our important moments, we also did not want to be the only photos in the album. With 60 guests at a Cabo resort and a beach wedding, we wanted the photos to allow us to see all the moments we missed with our guests while we were busy catching up with people. Almost every guest is captured in a number of action shots with funny moments, odd dance moves to make us laugh, and other couples enjoying a dance together. We get to see our guests enjoying the day too! He was also sure to capture the little things: Wedding dress before the bride put it on, wedding rings together with a wedding invitation, the ceremony and receptions areas before guests arrive, the party favors, the decorations, and everything we could need to remember the full day in the future. Among all the positives above, possibly my favorite thing is that he fit in well with our friends. Had Alex put the camera down and grabbed a beer he would have fit right in (we were honestly a little sad he didn't for 15 minutes or so, just to take a break and enjoy himself...again, truly professional.) He is always smiling, positive energy, and just laughed when we said something that probably should have been obvious. Last, but one of the most important. Turnaround time and quality of photos. Alex was up front that the turnaround time is not short. Editing takes time, and he takes a TON of shots. Alex had about 40 edited and beautiful photos to us within the first week, also being some of the most important, which was perfect so we could use one for our thank you cards. We knew it would take around 2 months for the rest, and at the 2 month mark we received a link to download more than 600 amazing and edited, high resolution photos. Noting, I said "download". While there is an option for a flash drive, we use Google and Amazon photos, so downloading to these services was perfect for us. There is an option for all guests to do the same as well, though we shared the Google album with them, and directed them to Alex's portal if they wanted to buy canvas prints, etc. Like I said, there were amazing shots of our guests as well (at least one is already using for his new professional headshot). We could not have been happier with our experience with Alex. A wedding is a day we hope only happens once, and that usually means the couple has no idea what to expect...first time rookies. Alex made it so easy for us. We could not give a higher recommendation. It's really a bummer I can't post a few photos here to demonstrate everything I've said above. Thank you so much Alex! Please use our gallery as you see fit, and don't hesitate to use us as a reference. Chad and Kim

se the entire day! The photos turned out beautiful and we will cherish them always.

ith our photos. So many of our moments perfectly captured. I love all the emotions they were able to catch, I felt like we were able to relive our wedding day. Can't thank this team enough!
