We could not have asked for a better duo to capture the best day of our lives. Alex and Jana are the most amazing humans and can help anyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. We appreciate them so much and could not have asked for better...
wedding photographers! They made the entire process so easy for us and we couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out!
Response from the Vendor on 03/11/2022
Thank you so much Kelynn, it was so special for us to be part of your day.
I had the pleasure of working with Alex for my wedding on April 30, 2022. Wow! He was truly amazing to work with. From the moment I sat down and had our first virtual meeting with him, I felt like I was talking to a friend. For 2 people that ar...
e extremely uncomfortable in front of a camera, he made us feel so relaxed and confident. It was truly an honor to have him be a part of our wedding and to capture this important day for us! You will not regret booking him! I promise!
Just book them now! Seriously, I am blown away by not only their professional photography skills, but who they are as people and their business. Jana & Christine were our photographers and not only was I comfortable from the moment they arrived...
, but everyone at our wedding raved about them. They’re good people, so kind and so good at what they do. Our pictures turned out AMAZING! They got all the little moments (and of course big☺️). You’ll be so glad you chose them for your special day 🤍
Response from the Vendor on 04/04/2022
Sophia! YOU are the best, I appreciate your kind words and it was incredible taking part if your day :)
We had the pleasure of working with Jana and she was wonderful. She makes you feel right as ease and made our engagement and wedding shoots feel effortless (we were a tad nervous). She has that kind of personality where you swear you're her fav...
orite client in the whole world, and I am betting that she treats everyone of her clients like that. Her photos were amazing and we couldn't be happier with how they all came out.
Thank you Jana!
Response from the Vendor on 03/11/2022
Cristina! You are so sweet. Thank you so much for this :)
Alex and Jana are amazing to work with! I originally met with Alex to go over packages and details and then Jana who was my photographer on the big day. They are both very down to earth and so fun. Packages were very reasonably priced and they ...
worked with my budget to form the right one for us. Jana planned everything out so well and was able to capture all the moments that were important to me even with my big family! She kept us on track and also made the day fun. Not to mention the pictures!! Everything came out amazing from the details photos to our wedding party photos and the romantic shots of just us are breathtaking. I’m so happy with everything in our wedding album and have received so many compliments. Would highly recommend if you are looking for a photographer!
Response from the Vendor on 03/11/2022
Corina! I can't thank you enough, it was my pleasure take part in your day!
THE BEST! Alex and team were SO amazing to work with! He was so accommodating and understanding of all my questions, so responsive, and eased ALL my concerns when it came to wedding day. He helped us feel natural and comfortable when capturing ...
everything from intimate to silly and everything in between. We are so thankful for choosing this team to capture the best day of our lives in the most beautiful way.
If you want beautiful, candid photos that give you an ego boost and don’t look awkwardly posed, this is the team for you. Jana worked with us to prepare for our COVID-safe wedding. She not only helped us with a shot list, but also with a weddin...
g timeline that allowed for amazing sunset photos. Day of, when things got behind schedule, Jana was there to nudge things along. She helped two very anxious camera-shy people feel totally comfortable in front of the camera and made the whole experience so much fun. (We’ve even talked about hiring her again for an anniversary or date night just as a fun gift to ourselves!) Our wedding was magical, but Jana’s ability to capture the unfiltered magic BLEW US AWAY! She knew how to get all the right angles, capture the raw emotions, and embody the essence of our love in photo form. Not only did her photos exceed our expectations, their prices are such a steal, it’s criminal. My sister is paying 5x what we paid for a wedding photographer, and she is worried her photos won’t look as good as ours. Jana was only there for 4 hours, but she still delivered 300 high resolution downloadable photos for less than $1800! And she even gave us a preview (44 photos) 2 weeks after our event! If this team is already booked for your date, change your date!
Response from the Vendor on 02/22/2022
Thank you Heather! Oh my gosh this is so sweet and kind! Can't thank you enough for having me and for making my day with this lovely review.
We absolutely loved working with Alex & Jana Photography. Alex was so accommodating and personable. The whole experience from start to finish was incredible. They were incredibly easy to contact and answered all of our questions up until the bi...
g day. We love our photos! Would definitely recommend them to anyone engaged, or getting married in the SoCal area!
I don't know how to even express my gratitude for Jana. We had a list of recommended photographers from our venue. After doing my own research, I sent my top 3 to my husband was deployed at the time and wanted him to have a say since he missed ...
out on a lot of the planing. Out of my top 3, knowing Alex and Jana were my #1, he thankfully picked them as well!
From the start the process was SO easy. I spoke with her on the phone first and knew we did not need to look any further. Her friendly demeanor stood out instantly. We were both drawn to the use of nature and lighting in the photos. Having an outside venue (and being able to see photos from them shooting other weddings there) definitely helped fit the picture and see their artistic eye. She made the day of process so effortless, even for us awkward folk! She is SO incredibly sweet and humble. I kept telling my husband and MOH that I want to be friends with her in real life ;)...everyone raved about her! I can't recommend them enough! You will not be disappointed! Thanks for making our day so special Jana!
Response from the Vendor on 03/11/2022
Ana! This made me tear up, you're the best. Thank you so much :)
From the very start (email inquiry) to the wedding to everything afterwards, every interaction with Jana was absolutely wonderful. I loved having a phone conversation before I made any hiring decisions and clicked with Jana right away, after lo...
ving the images on their website. Like so many couples, we had to postpone our wedding and Jana was so accommodating and ready to help out. Jana was so helpful via email with timelines, answering questions, vendor recs, anything I needed. Because she was such a pro, I was able to quiet my anxiety about how things would run.
And day of? Oh my gosh it was such a great experience! Jana and her second photographer Christine made us feel so comfortable and were really fun to have with us at our wedding. I know I'm gushing a bit, but I mean all of it! My husband is not comfortable in front of a camera and even he felt great.
Our photos are so incredible! When we received the final album I just got more and more excited with each photo. They really captured our wedding and paid so much attention to the things that were special to us, like the grandparents charm on my bouquet. I couldn't be happier with the job Jana did and have received so many compliments on how beautiful the photos are.
We also had an engagement session with Jana that was fab and our guests loved the GIF photo booth. I really can't recommend Jana and AlexandJana Photography more highly!
My husband and I worked mainly with Jana, both for our engagement shoot and for our wedding. Jana was AMAZING and we love her SO much. She has such a bubbly, warm, and welcoming personality. We both had never taken professional photos, and felt...
super nervous going into our engagement session, but Jana was WONDERFUL and made us feel so comfortable! She got to our location a little early to scope out some good photo locations, which made the actual photo-taking super smooth. She made us feel super comfortable and we ended up having so much fun! Fast forward to our wedding day, and we both absolutely loved having Jana there to capture our day. Again, she made us feel so comfortable. I didn't touch my phone at all during the wedding, and I trusted that she would capture all of the special moments. Sure enough, every photo- from getting ready, the ceremony, reception dancing, to the sparkler exit, she captured everything beautifully. I would absolutely recommend Alex & Jana for any photo needs!!
We started our wedding photographer journey looking for a timeless, classic look. From our first conversation with Alex, we were thrilled to work with them! He was responsive and timely and worked with us to narrow down our timeline prior to th...
e event, and made the best of some unsuspected rain on our wedding day, capturing photos that exceeded our wildest dreams! Both he and Christine were so easy to work with. Their presence was natural and they helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera. They truly captured all the shots we could have possibly wanted and now have them forever!
If you’re considering booking Alex & Jana Photography, do it! Within 5 minutes of chatting with Alex I knew I was going to book them for our wedding. Alex and his team simply have that “something” that not all photographers have. The entire pro...
cess with Alex was easy, honest, and detailed. At our wedding, he kept things running so smoothly; his direction was efficient, comfortable, and fun. My husband and I were so thrilled with the photos from our wedding. The photos are truly incredible! I’ve had so many people reach out to me and ask for their information because the pictures turned out so incredibly well. My sister is getting married next year and booked them for her wedding too! I cannot recommend Alex & Jana enough! Book them, I promise you will not regret it.
Covid bride here! We were engaged in 2019, and our first major decision was booking Alex from Alex and Jana Photography. Photos were a top priority, so I knew I needed to act fast. Alex was the photographer at a friend’s wedding earlier that ...
year. After their recommendation and a phone call with Alex, I knew we found our photographer.
Then came Covid. After postponements and cancellations, Alex stayed by our side. He was beyond professional throughout the process, especially as we all navigated through the pandemic.
Our engagement photos were taken at Palomar Mountain. It was a beautiful winter day with snow on the ground too. So surreal. Alex was so personable and down to earth, and truly made us both comfortable throughout the process. I actually had FUN taking photos! The pictures were stunning and were used for our save the dates as well.
Throughout the wedding planning process, Alex was very involved. I appreciated his attention to detail and extensive knowledge. He always put us at ease too, especially with the photo list! Alex was amazing on our wedding day this July! He captured everyone and every small detail with such natural beauty and grace. He made us all feel comfortable being photographed too. His ideas for photos were so creative and thoughtful, and turned out better than I could have ever possibly imagined. Alex actually was the real hero too...coming in clutch with some Pepto Bismol for my husband. Literally. Saved. The. Day. Alex thought of everything, and for that I will be forever grateful.
In addition to our engagement and wedding package, we also purchased his photobooth, as well as photo albums. The photobooth was an absolute HIT! It’s easily portable and it was moved from cocktail hour to the dance floor later in the evening. The process of choosing photos for print is so simple with his website too. We are so blessed to have shared this milestone with Alex. We have a photographer for life and cannot recommend him enough. We love you Alex!
We first met Alex back in 2019 when he did our engagement pictures. It was our second session with a different photographer and right away we knew we were going to love our wedding photos. His eye for the candid shots and keeping a natural time...
less edit to his photos is why I choose him. He got us to laugh, have fun, and most important not stress about being in front of a camera. Coming from a photographer who is SO picky about photos, I 100000% recommend booking him. We only just got our wedding preview and I can't wait to see the rest.
I wholeheartedly endorse Alex and Jana Photography! They were amazing from start to finish. During planning meetings, I immediately felt comfortable and confident that the team understood my personality and my vision for the day. My photogra...
phers, Emily and Nick, were the best! Everyone at the event loved them and the photos displayed their talent. I would recommend Alex and Jana to anyone in the market for wedding photography!
Alex and his team are the real deal. Out of any vendor we have ever used, they were by far the most responsive, professional, and engaging. We were paired with Emily for our wedding photography, and we couldn't have been happier; she's a real a...
rtist. Would highly recommend them to anyone.
Jana was a dream come true as our wedding photographer! Our wedding was a destination wedding and she did an incredible job creating a timeline and communicating throughout the process to take the burden off of us. She was organized and captur...
ed so many details we can look back on forever. She was energetic and so friendly, it made us feel so comfortable the day of the wedding. We were in the best hands!
From taking our engagement photos to our wedding, she exceeded our expectations. As soon as we met her, we instantly connected. She made us feel so comfortable and takes the most gorgeous NATURAL photos. Me and my husband are into nature and sh...
e really captured our love for one another and our love for nature in these photos. She’s sweet and has the most calming and happy energy. I truly am impressed by her and I would recommend her to any and all of my friends when they need a photographer! Picking her, you will be so so satisfied with what you will get, she puts hard work into these photos and she’s really damn great at it! WE LOVE LOVE OUR PICTURES JANA!!!! <3
Alex and Jana are the photography dream team!! I felt an instant connection with Jana on our phone consultation. She was friendly, informative, honest, and so very patient.
While planning, they were extremely responsive and worked very well w...
ith our other vendors. Communication was always very dependable - even throughout the pandemic.
On the day of the wedding, they were the calm to our storm. Extremely professional, easy going, and most of all - efficient! They got all shots in a tasteful amount of time, and still made sure we got that special and limited time with friends and family. They knew exactly what they were doing and it really, really showed. We could not be more grateful for their kind demeanor and professionalism.
As for the results, they gave us a sneak peak while we were still on our honeymoon! The rest of our photos came shortly after. Every single photo is as dreamy as the next! They are truly so good at their craft. Could not be more obsessed!!
We methodically chose them because we loved their work on their website, but will remember them because of the amazing experience they shared with us from beginning all the way until the very end. Support this business because not only do they deserve it, but so do you for your special day! Thank you SO MUCH Alex & Jana!! <3
You will not regret booking Alex & Jana Photography, TRUST ME. From the moment my husband and I sat down and chatted with Alex, we knew that he was the perfect fit. The photos sell themselves, but Alex was so pleasant and easy to talk to. We ...
trusted him fully and he delivered big time. I might also mention as a side note that our original wedding was moved because of the pandemic and Alex took my frantic messages and reschedule questions head on. Once we finally got to have our rescheduled wedding, him and his assistant were timely and never made me nervous once, in fact, they really helped me feel at ease with how relaxed and organized they were. We could not be more happy with the images we received. There are so many that we love they wont even all fit into one of the albums we can purchase from them. If you appreciate their aesthetic and how they play with the focus you will go bananas for this work.. The quality of the images are astounding. I cannot believe how GQ they made my husband look. Alex made our wedding totally magazine worthy. We will cherish these images for the rest of our lives and we hope that generations after us will too. These are precious, precious images. Worth every single last cent.
Working with Alex was a phenomenal experience from start to finish. Not only are our engagement and wedding photos absolutely magical, but it felt like we were hanging out with an old friend in the process.
Alex is so easy to talk to, is genuin...
ely interested to know what you’re hoping for out of your photos, and goes over the top to make it happen. Every photo is unique, nothing looks posed, and you can truly re-live the magic of your day through the pictures.
The absolute BEST experience, altogether!! Could not be happier.
The best part about working with Alex and Jana Photography is how they were able to capture our backyard wedding and make it feel like a million bucks. The photos are natural and beautiful all around. We knew we wanted the sunset photos during ...
the golden hour, and they exceeded expectations. My family felt very comfortable and the photographer was so professional and so kind! I would definitely recommend this vendor to anyone looking for amazing wedding photography packages!!
Alex, Jana, and Hannah are an actual dream team. I will start by saying - look no further if you're looking for your wedding photographer(s). After talking with many photographers in our planning process, we booked Alex & Jana because they had...
everything we were looking for: great quality photos for an excellent price, natural looking photo edits , and best of all - personalities we knew we wanted with us on our big day.
We had Jana and Hannah with us on the wedding day and they were so wonderful that even our guests complimented us on how sweet they were. Jana was able to guide us through our many photos before the ceremony, during cocktail hour, and through golden hour efficiently. After hours of smiling, we thought we would be ready for the photos to end, but Jana made it effortless and fun!
Alex and Jana talked with us before the wedding to review the timeline and shot list and make sure everything flowed smoothly, while still getting all the photos we wanted. We were so impressed with them that we talked about having them photograph all our events -they are absolutely worth it.
Response from the Vendor on 05/12/2021
Kass! You are soooo sweet! Thank you so much, it was our pleasure to be part of your amazing day.
Jana and Alex were the best vendor to work with from start to finish. They helped answer any questions and helped guide our wedding process when things had to change because of COVID. They were super flexible, with scheduling and payment chang...
es, and always kept things in communication and documented. We chatted multiple times and they were always very personable and prompt. When the big day came Jana was a positive presence at our wedding, she made us feel super comfortable and we actually had fun taking pictures! As a vendor, Alex & Jana Photography listened to what we wanted and definitely delivered. I would 100% recommend them to anyone looking for a professional and fun vendor to capture the biggest moments!
Working with Alex for our wedding was so incredible! He made us feel at ease and was super helpful with our timeline for the day. Given the circumstances of 2020, he was extremely flexible with our change of plans and location. We received a sn...
eak peek preview of out photos within a week of the wedding and we are just over the moon with them. I have already recommended Alex to a friend who is getting married next year. Thank you Alex for making our day so laid back and for delivering such beautiful photos!
Jana was an absolute dream to work with, from beginning to end. My wife and I loved the balance that she brought between listening carefully to our vision for our wedding and offering her excellent professional advice. This was particularly val...
uable after we had to adjust our plans due to the pandemic, shifting from a 100-person wedding in downtown San Diego to an 8-person elopement at Point Loma.
Jana checked in with us regularly throughout several months of uncertainty, offered suggestions, and was consistently responsive and flexible as our plans evolved. On the actual day of our elopement, Jana was incredibly professional and warm, and made it super easy for us to feel authentic and relaxed as she captured our first look, family photos, and vows. Our families had nothing but kind words for the amazing energy that she brought to the day as our photographer.
The day was not what either of us initially envisioned, and yet ended up being exactly what we both wanted - and we're so grateful to Jana for capturing the experience and making the process easy, fun, and light-hearted.
SERIOUSLY, LOOK NO FURTHER!
Alex and Jana are the absolute best! They are very professional but they make you feel like you are their most important client. With a COVID wedding, they were a dream to work with and were so accommodating. Alex re...
ally took the time to get to know us to make sure we were a good fit before the wedding. We were able to use Emily, one of their photographers, for our Engagement shoot. Emily was wonderful and did a really great job and capturing the look we were going for and had many helpful words to guide us through the initial awkwardness of a couple that had never taken professional photos before. Jana shot our wedding and we could not be happier. She was a ball of joy and made both my husband and I feel like supermodels. We had so much fun together. Our photos came back promptly and they were GORGEOUS! We can't wait for future photo shoots with them.
Response from the Vendor on 10/06/2020
Oh my gosh Kassity! Thank you so much, that made my day! You guys are amazing :)
My wife and I couldn't be happier with the experience we had working with Alex and Jana.
We had initially booked Alex to shoot our engagement photos in June 2019. Throughout the entire process Alex was very responsive and willing to work wi...
th us at every step. We had first planned for photos at the San Juan Capistrano Mission, but because they closed early in the day, Alex suggested that we look for another location in order to catch the sunset. We ended up shooting the photos at Balboa Park. Alex was familiar with the location so he knew where and when to start. My wife and I were very happy with how the photos turned out.
Regarding our wedding (July 2020), they were very flexible with us given the situation with COVID. We had initially planned for 1 photographer for 8 hours. Since my wife and I couldn't have a reception, we no longer needed an 8 hour photographer. We explained our situation to Alex and he was kind enough to draft up another contract of 2 photographers for 4 hours each - without charging any additional fees or penalties. I thought this was really nice of them since it was one less thing to worry about, given the situation with the pandemic. We ended up receiving the photos within one month of the ceremony and were very pleased with how they turned out.
I would recommend Alex and Jana to anyone looking for professional, responsive, accommodating photographers.
Why can't we give 6 stars? Words cannot express how grateful we are for Alex and Jana. They became much more than photographers, and served as more of a guiding light as we dealt with our cancelled wedding turned elopement. From the day we tol...
d them plans were changing, they were accommodating and caring, had the greatest ideas, and always reassured us things were going to be okay. Their quality of work, attention to detail, and quick turn around times will have us singing their praises for years. We are lucky to have the photos that they took hang in our home forever. After months of searching for the best vendors, we hit it out of the park with Alex and Jana.
Alex was absolutely amazing to work with! He is super fun and easy to get along with and really makes you feel at ease! We had our wedding in March 2020 and did our engagement photos in April 2019 both with Alex. He was fantastic both times and...
the photos came out great. We are seriously in love with our wedding photos, Alex and his assistant Hannah did a fantastic job and really captured our big day perfectly! We absolutely recommend Alex and Jana photography and would give 10 stars if we could!
We are so pleased with working with Alex of Alex&Jana photography. From start to finish, Alex made this process so easy!
Pricing was perfect for us and our needs and response time was quick. He was so easy going day of! We cant say enough wo...
nderful things about Alex. Proofs came quickly after the wedding and we were all happy tears going through the entire gallery when we received it. We fell in love with the light and airy feel of his work. Value is great! We highly recommend!!
We reached out to Alex and Jana somewhat last minute by wedding standards (three months before) and are so, so grateful they were available on our day. Alex was very responsive to our first inquiry and from the very first conversation, which i...
ncluded lots of common interests and shared photography philosophies, we knew we had found a match. We wanted a photographer that would focus on the natural and candid moments, but also be assertive enough to guide and direct people if faces were being blocked or stray hairs were everywhere. Alex and Jana were exactly that!
All of the preparation before the wedding was easy and simple, and we found their pricing incredibly reasonable for the value of the experience and the quality of the photographs we received after. As non-wedding people, they were particularly great at helping us navigate the more traditional elements of wedding and whether we wanted them. We were not that into the idea of a "first look," or "getting ready" photos, but Alex and Jana helped explain that regardless of whether we capture it, there will always be great moments where you see each other for the first time, or are with the people you love helping you, and those can be captured without feeling overly staged. We are now so glad we listened and have those moments saved! They also did a really fantastic job on site scoping out great shots for the whole family and for just the couple, while listening to our preferences and thoughts as well.
We were so fortunate to be able to have both Alex and Jana on site to shoot our wedding and cannot recommend either of them enough!
We are so glad that we chose Alex & Jana Photography for our wedding. Jana is fantastic to work with; she's very easy going, listens to her clients, and goes above & beyond wherever possible to create an unforgettable day. My husband and I felt...
so comfortable working with her and had fun during our couples photos! Would 100% recommend Alex & Jana to anyone in the Southern CA area.
Response from the Vendor on 01/05/2020
Oh my gosh Natalie! Thank you so much for this! I loved every second working with you guys, seriously what an incredible wedding day! XO
Jana was such a pleasure to have photograph our wedding. She made us and our guests feel comfortable, and when my wife and I did our couple's photos she really took the time finding great locations and shots. She was such an easy person to work...
with, which relieved a lot of our pre-wedding planning stress. Thank you Jana!
We absolutely LOVE Alex and Jana Photography!! I am so happy we booked them for our wedding and engagement shoot. Jana was incredibly easy to work with -- kind, friendly, responsive, and professional. She has the best positive energy and makes ...
you feel so comfortable. We happened to get a gloomy cloudy day for our engagement shoot by the beach and but she was able to work with the elements and get amazing (movie poster status) shots. I am truly OBSESSED with our wedding photos too!! Almost every single photo from our wedding day is a frame-able, "favorite" photo. There are SO MANY GOOD ONES. We had an outdoor Anglican-Catholic and Military wedding ceremony and they captured all the particular details in the ceremony that were so important to us and we are thrilled to have those memories preserved forever. We also had TEN little ones involved in our wedding -- ages 3 to 13 -- and she was amazing in working with them and getting them to all look at the camera with happy faces. We have incredible photos of the wedding setup and details, candids of our guests and wedding party smiling, dancing and having an amazing time, and all of the important event moments that we wanted captured. I am so happy to have such gorgeous photos from our favorite day. We would 100% recommend Alex and Jana Photography!!!
Alex was our wedding photographer and we absolutely loved him and his fabulous pictures!! From our first meeting - over coffee - we knew he was the one for us. It was a no-brainer decision. Our personalities just clicked, and I personally reall...
y liked that he had the perfect combo of high energy in a very relaxed demeanor. That turned out to be exactly what we needed on our wedding day. The pictures he took are so magical. He captured so many amazing moments, and we never ever felt like we were posing. It was all very organic and natural. I loved the way he worked! The family photo shoot ahead of the ceremony was also very relaxed and easy. And all the candid shots were so great. Alex really marked the day for us in a way we will never forget, and I can't recommend him enough. Though I didn't get to meet Jana, she helped coordinate things on email and was very sweet during those interactions. I'm sure her work is as stellar as Alex's! What a power couple!
Booking Alex was the BEST decision we ever made for our wedding!! He was so incredibly easy to work with and made us so comfortable! We had our wedding 3 days ago and already got our sneak peek... the photos are absolutely breathtaking! I promi...
se you will not regret choosing Alex as your wedding photographer. I will forever recommend him! We couldn’t be happier with the entire experience
Alex Bruce is really fantastic. We hired him to take both our engagement and wedding photos after having a great conversation with him over the phone (and because we loved his photography style, of course). Both my husband and I are camera-shy,...
and ended up choosing Alex because he's very personable, and we correctly deduced that he would make us feel more comfortable in front of a camera. He also helped us pick a location for our engagement photos with some variety of scenery, which was great because my husband and I had different ideas about what type of photos we wanted. He also gave us some light instruction about how to position ourselves in our photos, and many of them came out looking so natural and candid. On our wedding day, Alex executed my impromptu plan for our first look photos without any hesitation. Throughout the whole day, he was helpful, organized, and non-intrusive.
Alex and his wife Jana run a very professional operation. They have a portal for communication about the wedding, and the proposal/payment process is very clear and easy. The photos are delivered in a beautiful and easy-to-use gallery. The whole process was spot on. Keep rocking, Alex!
Alex was such a pleasure to work with! Alex & Jana photography was hands down most affordable of all the places we looked and the quality was excellent. Everyone raved about our photos. Moreover from the get go he helped us work within our (pre...
tty tight) budget, giving us practical suggestions (for example, suggesting ordering just the rights to the digital photos rather than a zip drive or albums to avoid paying a hefty tax). He never pressured us into additional services which we appreciated. We had engagement shots at a beach in San Diego and Alex made the whole experience fun, so the pictures came out natural. He does a great job of capturing both posed pictures as well as candid shots and does a phenomenal job of working with natural lighting to create the best photos. Since you basically spend the entire wedding day with your photographer, it's important that you get along well, and we knew right off the bat from a phone interview that he was a great fit. He worked with us and the fact that we did not want to spend our entire wedding taking pictures, and prioritized obligatory family shots before the ceremony, so we were able to attend the majority of our cocktail hour. He was professional yet funny and down to earth, and was able to roll with my husband's dark sense of humor. He was super organized and does a great job of taking lots of photos while also giving us space to enjoy our wedding without feeling like we're on camera the whole time. The final product came out fantastic, he truly captured the joy of our wedding.
If you're looking for a fun, energetic, creative, professional and affordable wedding photographer - hire Alex & Jana, you won't regret it!
We are so glad we chose Alex and Jana photography. I wouldn’t have changed a thing- the pictures came out absolutely stunning! My husband and I feel really awkward taking pictures in general, but they made it fun and made us feel as comfortable...
! They’re a dynamic duo! They were very responsive with getting back to me on any questions I had, followed up and kept in touch, and were on time and reliable. I will be recommending them to every one I know. Thank you both!!!
When we first started looking for photographers we were immediately drawn to Alex and Jana after our preliminary phone call with Alex . He was so easy to talk to on the phone and he truly made us feel comfortable and confident that he would be ...
able to capture our wedding day the way we wanted.
Throughout the process they were always quick to respond to our questions via email and phone and always made us feel comfortable. They were so organized, which allowed us to enjoy our wedding and not worry about the details. We loved their ability to make us feel relaxed for the photos and really enjoyed talking to them throughout the photoshoot. We cannot express how thankful we were to have worked with them this past weekend.
We also wanted to say thank you for the photo mirror!! It was an absolute fan favorite with our guests and we have already had a few friends ask us about getting one for their own weddings/parties.
So glad we hired Alex and Jana for our wedding! They are a great team and so fun to be around! They made us feel comfortable and brought us around to many locations to get the best shots! We just got our sneak peek back and I am in love!!! Can'...
t wait to see more. :)
Fast forward through a few unsuccessful attempts at finding a photographer for our wedding, we happened to come across Alex & Jana's page here on The Knot. After looking through their portfolio and meeting Alex in person, we knew we had finally...
found the right photographer. Alex did both our wedding and our engagement photos, and now we proudly display albums of both in our home! Alex was extremely professional throughout the whole process and was very easy going when working with specific requests we had. The day of the wedding he had an additional shooter and she was also a doll! Every detail shot was taken with care, and the photos we have from our wedding are some of our most treasured possession. My husband and I have no hesitations giving their card to those who mention they still need a photographer as we were so incredibly happy with the entire process. Thank you guys so much for capturing and preserving our special day!!
Out of all the decisions we made for the wedding, selecting Alex and Jana Photography is by far one of the VERY BEST! From our first phone call, Alex made us very comfortable and relaxed; he's like talking to a friend you have known forever- bu...
t who is REALLY REALLY GOOD with a camera! I was so impressed with their online portfolio, and hoped that our pictures would turn out as good as the best ones they advertise on the website. My expectations and hopes were surpassed! We are thrilled with the images that we've received in the preview- so artistic and beautiful, but not posed or stiff or fake looking at all. Alex has a fantastic eye, and his 2nd photog, Mike, was amazing too. They made us and our family and friends feel so comfortable through the formal photographs, and we got some amazing shots that we'll treasure forever. I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures- both Alex and Mike were everywhere but NOT INTRUSIVE at all; I know they got every shot we could ever want, but we never felt like we had photographers on us. I've worked with several photographers in the past and A&J are absolutely TOP NOTCH.
Alex and Jana were great to work with! We were lucky enough to work with both Jana and Alex, Jana did our engagement shoot, and Alex did our wedding. Our pictures came out great. We are especially happy with the variety of our wedding pictures....
Alex got all of the shots we requested, and then some. Would highly recommend!
Alex and Jana are both awesome! Jana shot our engagement photos and Alex shot our wedding photos and we are in love with both. They are truly a magic duo!
My husband and I just got back our wedding photos and they were everything we imagined & more.
We would have expected nothing less of Alex though. He was professional and on top of things the whole way through.
From being open-minded and doin...
g our engagement photos in the blistering heat to going up on a roof with us on the day of the wedding, Alex has an amazing eye and makes you feel super comfortable while he gets the perfect photo!
Now we will have these incredible photos to look back on for years to come. I recommend using Alex & Jana for your special day 100%. You couldn't get a nicer bunch and they are super talented too.
Alex - thanks for the memories!
Words cannot describe how thankful I am to have found Alex and Jana Photography. My husband and I were planning our CA wedding from TX and they were so kind and accommodating the whole way through. They were both SO friendly and calm and reassu...
ring the day of the wedding I would have sworn I had known them for years. Jana seriously helped me keep my cool the whole day when I was a nervous wreck. We just received the rest of our wedding photos and I could not be happier. Alex and Jana are truly talented photographers who have a gift for making the memories of a wedding last years to come in their beautiful photography. I HIGHLY recommend them to anybody who is need of a photographer.
My husband and I love our wedding photos! We were married in spring at a winery in Temecula. Alex had been to the winery before so it was awesome he was familiar with the place and knew all great photo spots. Him and his wife Jana are both quic...
k to respond to emails and such which is always great since wedding planning can be stressful at times and it's just good to touch base quickly with people. Me and my husband got to meet them before the wedding and they are both lovely nice people.
Alex was very patient and positive the whole day of the wedding. I couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Me and my husband are very happy with our photos and the whole experience. Would definitely recommend them for any beautiful photos and great memories you want to look back at and remember always.
Our wedding photos turned out absolutely beautiful and perfect. We have been looking through them non stop and sharing them with our family and friends. Jana did an amazing job capturing the whole day; we both feel like we can relive the day an...
d moments throughout thanks to her. We truly thank you for your pictures and your positivity the day of (we still remember that!).
Booking Jana was by far the easiest and best decision for our August wedding! We had talked with a few other photographers over the phone initially, and didn't really feel a connection. After speaking with Jana we felt that she really understoo...
d us and our wedding vision, and we immediately booked her, knowing she would be perfect for our day. We booked Jana for a Big Bear Mountain engagement session a few months before our big day so that we could all get to know each other and feel at ease when it came time for the wedding - I highly recommend for those that are a little camera shy! Jana was nothing short of amazing throughout our day; professional, calm, easy going and fun! Our engagement photos and sneak peek from the wedding came out even more beautiful that we could have imagined - Jana has such a gift with light and photography. Trust me, you will not be disappointed in booking Jana!!
Jana and Bruce were great! We have only received our trial pics back, but they are beautiful! We really enjoyed working with them!
Jana was fantastic! So sweet, warm, and easy to work with. We love our photos and couldn't be happier with our overall experience. Thank you so much Jana!
-The Davissons
Jana was so wonderful on the day and helped make us feel so comfortable and at ease, which resulted in much more natural looking photos. I would highly recommend!
Alex and Jana were absolutely amazing for our special day! It can be intimidating trying to find people to work with from across the country, but they both made us feel so comfortable from the very beginning. I knew the memories we would make t...
hat day would be special, and they made sure that we would capture all the must-have moments while working with the timelines and requirements of everyone involved. I was very impressed with how well organized everything was, and even the fact that they convinced us to walk out on the rocks by the beach for an unforgettable photo op! (Totally worth it, by the way!)
There can be plenty of stresses on your wedding day, but photography definitely wasn't one. We hardly even noticed them at all once the ceremony started and into the night - that's a good thing! The pictures turned out amazing, proof of how well they work together as a team. I'm so glad we found them, and would absolutely recommend them to anyone planning their wedding in the area.
Thank you Alex and Jana!!!
My husband and I got married on 12/16/17 so this review has been a long time coming. Alex and Jana were a pleasure to work with and they really brought our big day to life while not completely breaking the bank. Being Mexican and Catholic, ther...
e were so many rituals that were part of our ceremony and of the reception and Alex and Jana were there to capture them with so my style and flair. They were such a pleasure to work with since our first meeting until our big day and beyond; always responsive/communicative when we had questions or concerns. They are so patient as my husband and I are still trying to choose our final pictures for our prints/photobook (thanks for that ^_^ ).
Not only that, but they also captured our engagement photos and Alex was really attentive to our requests. We wanted a winter-y feel to our whole wedding. We had requested/suggested a few spots around Lake Gregory, but he still drove out ahead of our shoot to scope out some spots that still had snow, just like we had wanted. The attention to detail is just amazing and super professional!
Gracias Alex and Jana for capturing our special day(s)!
My husband and I got married 1/27/2018 and Alex & Jana were AMAZING!!! From the initial meeting we had with Alex, to all the correspondence before the big day, and day of the wedding was just wonderful and easy. They gave us their undivided att...
ention and really captured the style of photos we were looking for and they handled my insane family like the total pro's that they are. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone!! They are just the nicest people and take incredible pictures!
Alex & Jana were fantastic the day of our wedding and with all the planning leading up to it. They really captured the essence of our special day and managed to be there for us at both venues despite them being in completely different parts of ...
Orange County. They were very on top of things and helped us keep on schedule for getting all the photos we wanted. It was also special to watch a husband and wife team work so well together and be such a great example of what it really means to be a team with your partner. I am also blown away at how quickly they got our photos to us and how easy they were to get a hold of whenever I had questions (even months after the wedding). So happy we chose them and cannot recommend them enough! :)
We absolutely LOVED working with Alex and Jana!!! I found Alex through instagram, and am sooo happy I decided to reach out to him! Alex and Jana are both so nice and fun!!! My husband and I are not picture people, and have definitely never had ...
professional photos taken before, so we were a little nervous. We set aside time to go down to the beach after the ceremony, and Alex made it so comfortable and easy!! And even better, the pictures came out AMAZINGLY!!!! I also really wanted candid, natural pictures of us and our guests, and they definitely delivered!!! Alex and Jana captured so many pictures of everyone laughing and having fun, I love them all!!! I know I will cherish these pictures for years to come!
I just want to start of by saying Alex and Jana are amazing! They are so professional, flexible, and always respond quickly to any questions that you may need answered. I was referred by a former colleague and we could not be happier with thi...
s referral. Alex was on time and made sure to capture all the important moments. We are so happy with all of the images. We would refer him to anyone and everyone. Thank you Alex and Jana you guys helped make our wedding that much more perfect 😊
Alex Bruce is one amazing photographer! He did my engagement photos (which turned out romantic and dreamy) and then recently did my wedding. First of all, he is such a great person to work with. He is professional and fun and makes everyone fee...
l comfortable. For my wedding, both he and his awesome wife Jana were there and really made it a blast. They made sure they checked all of my must have shots off my list and had great ideas of their own. We already have some of our preview pictures and I am in LOVE. The mood Alex captures with wide range shots and fading light and the romantic details Jana captures of our rings and shoes were perfect. I am happy with every photo and eagerly awaiting the rest. I would recommend them to anyone and everyone. It is no wonder they won best of the Knot this year!

Margo and Ben! Thank you so much for this amazing review. Your kind words made our day! We loved working with you both! Thank you!

We had such an excellent experience working with Alex and Jana! They were prompt, professional and courteous through every step of the process. They didn't try to up sell us on things we didn't need or want and were incredibly creative and open...
as we discussed all the shots and locations we liked. The day of the event, Alex was ready and waiting to go! He kept us on track, comfortable and relaxed throughout the day and kept snapping until the very end. He created some wonderful portraits with the use of natural scenery and light and also captured many wonderful candid moments that turned out beautifully. It wouldn't have been as fun or enjoyable experience without Alex there to make sure all our pictures turned out great. Cannot recommend Alex and Jana highly enough!
We LOVED working with Alex and Jana. First of all, they are an adorable married couple/team, and super nice. Alex is very fairly priced and he is such a professional. He always responds same day whenever we had any questions, and he was alwa...
ys early whenever we met him. I really appreciated that he was on top of everything and we didn't have to worry about a thing. And most importantly, our pictures came out great ! I really love the way Alex plays with light and his action shots were the best of the bunch, which are arguably the hardest to get. He also helped keep us on schedule at the wedding which was great. I would definitely recommend him!
