I cannot recommend Alex enough! His photos are stunning, and working with him was a wonderful experience from start to finish. My husband and I worked with Alex for both our engage...
ment shoot and our wedding weekend, and he went above and beyond. He traveled to Cape Cod for the engagement session and photographed us in multiple locations, capturing truly amazing moments.
Alex is thoughtful, professional, friendly, and made the entire process a joy. Our guests commented on how great he and his team were throughout the weekend. He delivered an initial album of sneak-peek photos just two days after the wedding, which allowed us to relive the highlights so quickly.
His work speaks for itself, and on top of that, he is simply fantastic to work with. We are so grateful he was part of our special day!
It is hard to put into words just how talented Alex is. He is truly a magician behind the camera, and working with him was one of the absolute highlights of our wedding. Every sing...
le photo feels thoughtful, dynamic, and full of emotion. He has an incredible ability to capture not just how a moment looked, but exactly how it felt. Looking through our gallery genuinely brings us right back to the day.
Beyond being extraordinarily talented, Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. He is an excellent communicator, incredibly organized and responsive, and made everyone feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. He knew our venue so well and had an amazing eye for where and how to capture each moment. His entire team was fantastic as well — professional, warm, and so easy to have around throughout the day.
We were also blown away by how quickly we received our photos. The sheer number of beautiful photos and moments he captured is honestly remarkable.
We feel so lucky that Alex documented our wedding. These are photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives, and we truly cannot recommend him highly enough. We are already hoping we have an excuse to work with him again in the future!
Alex has a unique and exceptional eye. He and his assistant were also thoroughly professional and easy to work with. When the bride took longer to dress than anticipated, we worrie...
d we wouldn't have enough time for adequate family photos - - but Alex did a stunning job and kept the wedding timeline on track. His photos of the day itself completely captured the vibe and the joy, our guests are so visibly themselves. Looking through the album almost lets us relive every moment.
We used Alex as our wedding photographer and he was absolutely amazing. Finding the right photographer was so important to me and I did a ton of research before selecting Alex. We ...
did 8 hours for coverage but if I was doing it again I would have hired him for even more hours and for the rehearsal dinner. He was worth every penny! We did planning meetings ahead of the wedding to ensure we would get all the shots that were important to us (which was a massive list and he got every single one). We had pictures in multiple locations and Alex was organized and calming and made it feel very easy to get everything captured. He was great with capturing authentic moments that happened throughout the day like hugs and laughter. He was great with the small children that were in the wedding ceremony. He got amazing drone shots of the ceremony and of Wychmere Harbor that we will surely have framed as artwork in our home. He was great at keeping everyone looking photo ready, reminding men to put their hands in their pockets, etc. Alex was super fast at getting pictures back to us - we got the preview the next day and the full album within a month. The photos that he captured were so amazing - he is so talented. We will definitely be using him again in the future. We are so grateful for him and the for the beautiful photos that we will have for a lifetime.
Alex was absolutely amazing!!! He was incredibly efficient, helpful and so talented. His work is absolutely stunning & so grateful for him! He sent the preview pictures basically t...
he next day & I cannot wait to see them all!!
Alex is the most special photographer and human being. Please give yourself a gift and work with him. He is extremely detail-oriented, always punctual and prepared, has a true arti...
st’s eye, and goes above and beyond every step of the way. He is kind, he is funny, he is smart, he is caring, and he is always down for an adventure. As a person who is admittedly a huge perfectionist, and a visual artist myself, trusting instead of micromanaging is not my strong suit. But we had FULL trust in Alex, right from the start. And sure enough, our photos exceeded our expectations. He not only captured the way our wedding looked, but also how it felt. As our mother said to Alex after our wedding, “Alex, you’re so gifted. You captured things I would have never seen if not for your incredible eye. The day flew by but you gave it to us to relive forever. Beautiful photographer, beautiful person, beautiful experience. Thank you from us all.” We love Alex, and can say from the bottom of our hearts that he feels like family to us. And our whole extended family fell in love with him, too. We hope to keep working with him for years to come. We can’t imagine a better friend or artist to be by our side and to capture our most precious moments as we move through life. Thank you a million times over, Alex, for sharing your immense talent with us! And for sharing your huge heart with us, too! We adore you!

eing taken comfortable and provided us with the wedding photos of our dreams. He is so kind!
Alex did the most incredible job for our proposal/engagement shoot! He was such a pleasure to work with.
Alex was beyond wonderful as our wedding photographer. He is a true professional who can easily navigate and direct in the excited, hectic wedding environment. He came extremely p...
repared, knowing where each set of pictures would be, how to get there, and which pictures we had requested, and was extremely efficient in getting everyone where they needed to be while also paying attention to each visual detail. We received a preview gallery within 2 days, with a huge range of photos. His work is absolutely stunning. We're so happy to have such an unbelievably beautiful record of our wedding.
It was a no brainer when choosing the photographer for the most important day! We had an absolutely AMAZING time working with Alex for our wedding. I have worked with him in the pa...
st and he is so so so wonderful as a person and equally as incredible as a photographer. He has never taken a bad picture of me!!!
Alex communicates well and sends you your preview gallery within the week so you can get a drooling sneak peak. The other vendors commented on how great it is to work with Alex.
I will, without a doubt, use Alex for any and all my photog needs! XoXo
We are so grateful we found Alex and hired him as our photographer for our backyard wedding in Eastham, MA! He is so friendly, kind, and went above and beyond during both our engag...
ement photoshoot and wedding to take stunning photographs. He provided clear and creative direction for formal photos and captured candids of such special moments. Thank you Alex for all you did for us!
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 wan...
ted 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.
so happy we get to write this review!The first contact was a phone call, and even though we weren’t sure about location of wedding, or date, Alex spoke to me at length about how th...
is would work. He answered every single crazy question I had with the patience of an angel. I could sense his sensitivity, his creativity but, most of all, how much he cares. Once we settled on date and location I immediately, without interviewing anyone else, emailed him and we zoomed. So kind, respectful, attentive, flexible, knowledgeable and supportive.
The big day came and the second I met him I was laughing and felt so happy to see him. He knew who was who in the wedding party, he came early to scout the venue, and was super generous of his energy. Meanwhile the same night he sent us a lot of our pics! So, you can add hard-working to the list of his qualities…He even found us our videographer! Planning a wedding is rough frankly (or at least for me, I did not care much for planning an event this size) but with Alex by your side you’ll be golden! The pics came out stunning, just stunning, we couldnt ask for anything more! Thank you Alex, you are a gem and an artist with the best soul! Can't wait to work together again!
I don't know where to begin other than to say that Alex captured our wedding day better than our wildest dreams! He listened to all of our specific detailed shots, pre-planned and...
checked in with us ahead of time, reviewed every element of the shoot and ensured that nothing was left behind. I run a photography division for a media company and he is among the finest photographers I've worked with in the industry. One of the best things about Alex is that he was able to capture incredible moments while also working quietly in the background, directing and corralling a 15+ person wedding party with ease.
He always made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed and was worth EVERY penny to capture the best day of our lives. He was recommended to us by our dear friends as he had shot their wedding in the Summer. The best kinds of referrals are from brides that have been through the wedding process and she was 100% right about hiring Alex. We loved working with him. Run, don't walk to Alex Gordias Photography for your wedding and future family shoots. We plan to!
Absolutely amazing!! Alex was so kind and warm, while at the same time professional and focused. I had complete trust that he was going to capture some amazing images, and he absol...
utely did! My bridesmaids, mom, and now-husband still talk about him, and what a great job he did. He is also multi-talented: when my hair and veil were coming loose during windy beach pictures, he was like "give me some bobby pins" and fixed my entire hairdo and veil on the spot! It was so funny and amazing. We loved him!! And the pictures--SWOON!!! Hire him!!
Alex is incredible. He is fun, he is patient, he is insanely gifted and talented. My husband and I have enjoyed every moment working with him since we hired him almost 9 months ago...
. He did our wedding and engagement pictures and they have turned out better than I could have ever imagined. Thank you Alex for everything - you are one in a million.
I can not say enough about Alex, he was so professional, flexible, organized and kind. we had a small (36 guests) outdoor ceremony with barn reception and he made us feel so specia...
l and taken care of. He is so thoughtful about the entire process and was so good at keeping the day on schedule. I had the pleasure of working with his wife, Vera Gordias, as my hair and make-up stylist. the two worked so well together and it made me feel like we were on a high profile fashion shoot. You can tell that photography is truly an ART to Alex and it was so fun to watch him work and become inspired in the moment. All of that was BEFORE we saw the photos; they are truly breathtaking and I couldn't be more please with our choice. Thank you Alex and Vera for helping us preserve our special day forever.
Alex is amazing! He has an exceptional eye to capture beauty at every moment. He is creatively inspired, incredibly hard-working, and up for even the greatest photo-op challenges...
. Alex initially worked with us to create a high-fashion engagement shoot that required 3 DIFFERENT locations, outfit changes, and vibes. He worked efficiently, coordinated the day perfectly, and was up for the challenge, despite the fact that it required him to go into the ocean with his clothes on to photograph some of the shots we wanted, despite it only being 43 degrees outside in Boston!! He did it, and he did with passion! The photos he captured were breath-taking and speak for themselves!
We also retained Alex's expertise to photograph our recent wedding. We wanted a more elegant photographic journalism style for our day with a focus on romance and detail. He provided us with exactly the vision we wanted for that occasion as well. Alex listens to his clients and is able to deliver essentially anything you want with absolute perfection, PLUS MORE! It is hard to put into words the way his photographs capture the moment. He is well connected, reliable, and honestly, he is fun! It is very important to work with a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, Alex is definitely that photographer.
Alex is especially efficient as well. His turnaround time for the sneak peek for our wedding was 24hrs!!! I couldn't believe it. Our complete album was ready to view within a few short weeks----this is unheard of in the world of wedding photography, seriously! Our wedding day was very windy, and when I asked to have a few stray hairs photoshopped out, Alex made those arrangements immediately. He genuinely desires to make sure his clients are 100% happy, and he is incredibly passionate about his craft---this is what sets Alex apart from other photographers. Alex was more than worth the fee we paid for his services, and we feel so blessed to have connected with him for our special day. Alex will forever be our go-to photographer for all of life's special occasions moving forward.
Alex was the most amazing photographer! He captured every moment and so many of my guests commented on how great his personality was. He was fun to be around and made everyone fee...
l so comfortable. He had our sneak peek pictures back to us in just a couple of days and the rest of them just a few days later. They are gorgeous!!
I love working with Alex! He is a fantastic photographer who makes everyone feel at ease. And the quality of his photographs is amazing.
Alex is a professional wedding photographe...
r, but he does a great job at all kinds of events. He is also volunteering for years taking pictures of the elderly patients at Hebrew Rehab, and everyone there loves him as well.
In addition, Alex often delivers first photographs in a day or two after your wedding or event, and it is a delightful treat!
I cannot begin to describe what a sheer delight it was to work with Alex from start to finish. He did our engagement, rehearsal dinner and wedding ceremony/reception photos, and fr...
om start to finish, we cannot thank him enough for the experience. He is professional, creative, fun, and energetic. He wrangled our cats and their bow ties, he climbed over fences and down bridges to get the right shot, he managed a pack of 50+ international relatives, all with a friendly demeanor.
Have no fear if you are camera shy! You will see yourself coming out of your shell and having a wonderful time - which will result in the most beautiful photos that you'll treasure forever. I feel so fortunate that it was Alex who captured our memories. I was so impressed with how quickly he turned them around, and I cried both times I received the files (engagement +wedding) - I couldn't believe how perfectly he captured the love and spunky energy of our happy days. He's bilingual (that really worked for us and all the family that came from Russia), and extremely comfortable with pets and children.
Also! If you want to glam up for your shoot - ask him about his extremely gifted wife Vera, who is an INCREDIBLE, thoughtful, intuitive stylist. I'm never going to anyone else.
Our wedding pictures are fabulous! We're so glad we chose Alex; he did a superb job! We now have a beautiful photographic record of a very blessed day! Thanks, Alex! // With gratit...

I don't have enough incredible things to say about Alex. He is the most talented photographer I've ever met. His photos are impeccable, and he truly makes sure your vision for the...
day reflects in the photos. After just a few conversations he completely knew the look I was going for and he nailed it! Not to mention Alex is extremely professional and such a kind person. He captured every moment, but was not intrusive. I cry with joy every time I look back on my photos, and I've never received so many compliments in my life- my photos look like they are out of Vogue bridal magazine. Anyone would be LUCKY to have Alex as their photographer!
Alex is simply amazing photographer and a great person! He seems to really enjoy what he does. My husband and I had absolutely stress-free and fun experiense. The results are just...

I cried with joy in the middle of the office when we received our engagement photos from Alex Gordias. I didn't know what to expect, but the quality, volume, creativity, authentici...
ty, and tenderness that he captured for us is completely unmatched. We were on the fence about engagement photos because we're on a tight budget, but when we realized we had nothing decent to put on the website, we went for it. AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On a mid-November Saturday afternoon in Boston, Alex somehow captured us in summer, fall and winter colors out by the Charles River in a wooded area with a bridge. He was engaging, experimental, creative, and enthusiastic. He strategically maneuvered around us to capture the best angles and light. He balanced positioning us and letting us just be our goofy selves. And then he had the completely brilliant idea to head to Starbucks and shoot us talking and drinking coffee out of Christmas cups through the window! Our photos are like scenes out of a movie, except I can't believe the movie is my life. I simply can't wait to see how he shoots our wedding.
Very professional, pleasant, truthfully enjoys his work. My family loved him. Photos turned out wonderfully, showing the story of our wedding day, including candid shots, portraits...
and wonderful moments capturing true emotions. Would highly recommend.
Finding the right person to shoot our wedding was one of the most important aspects of our planning process and I cannot recommend Alex enough. His work exceeded our expectations a...
nd dreams! We loved working with him as he made sure the process goes smoothly and we feel comfortable. Alex is talented, patient, professional and most importantly passionate about his job. He was able to capture some of the most amazing shots without being noticed, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Alex went above and beyond to make sure we have the most beautiful pictures from such and important day in our life. He strives to deliver a truly customized experience for his clients, which makes him stand out as a photographer. If you’re looking for someone special to capture your wedding day, look no further!
We've made a wedding photo session with Alex and Vera and I should confess that it was the right choice! They are truly unique team: Vera is a talented hair stylist and makeup arti...
st and Alex is an amazing photographer - he feels and catches moments which are not only beautiful but also convey the atmosphere of the event. Thanks to Vera I was The Most Beautiful Woman that day. And thanks to Alex we’ve got perfectly beautiful and lively photos. There are special moments in life, you would like to keep forever, which you would like to share with your kids and grandkids one day. Wedding is one of such remarkable moments and believe me it is better to trust the capture of this event to professionals because the difference in professional and non-professional photo is dramatic and you would never repeat this moment.
Absolutely amazing photographer Alex Gordias !!! So happy with my wedding pictures! They are all natural and beautiful, so full of emotion :-))))
The best photographers ever!
I'm happy we had Alex as our wedding photographer. He's very professional and passionate about his work, yet sensitive and respectful to our preferences. Alex is very easy-going, f...
lexible and very attentive, we enjoyed our photo shoot. He knows interesting and beautiful places in Boston and around, so he'd make your pictures adorable.
