To say we were impressed by Alex's work at our wedding is the understatement of the year. I was incredibly anxious about finding the right person to capture the look and feel I wanted in terms of compositions, color, etc., and, in fact, we had ...originally hired a different photographer but decided after 6 months it wasn't going to be the right fit. It was terrifying to risk making a switch, but finding Alex was a blessing beyond words. Our two conversations by Zoom and Alex's prompt responses to my emails gave me faith in his professionalism, but I had no idea how blown away we would be with the event itself. He and his second photographer traveled up to our venue in Maine, and my only regret is that we didn't hire him for more hours and for our rehearsal dinner as well. Otherwise, I would give him a 20-star rating if I could. Alex and his second were upbeat, funny, gentle, unassuming, kind, and just a delightful presence to be around for the entire day. Guests and wedding party folk alike have commented how wonderful he was to work with during formal pics, and then how unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. Alex was present but not, in the best ways, and you could see his eye constantly on the alert for that next great artistic shot, yet he was always available for us to pull him aside for a select group photo. My partner hates being photographed, and Alex even put him at ease, never mind the fact that he corralled our 3-year-old to keep going after she was utterly pooped out. I knew after just 20 minutes of him being there that I would completely trust Alex for the day, and that made everything so much more enjoyable and allowed me to relax after all the months of planning and anticipation. Alex made us all feel light and easy, and he kept everything and everyone on task and on time. ONLY 48 hours later he returned a preview gallery to us with 100 photos!!! They are *beyond* stunning, and EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Every image is perfect and precious, capturing the tiniest details as well as the most dramatic expansive landscapes. The pictures with our daughter in it keep taking my breath away, and I can't stop looking at them all and swooning. Best of all, our family members are thrilled to see professional shots while they are still riding high on the wave of excitement from the event itself. We have complete faith that we will be equally blown away by the full gallery in a few weeks. Alex truly made our wedding the incredible event that it was, and I will be forever grateful.
