Alex photographed my December 2019 wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how our photographs turned out! I hate pictures, am super awkward, and really dreaded knowing I had to be ...
the center of attention on my day but Alex made me feel so comfortable. In all the special important moments she was able to capture our emotions perfectly and I honestly never even noticed she was there. She was so inconspicuous, professional, and easy to work with. Her second shooter Jared was also the BEST. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best decision I made was hiring Alex!
We are so lucky to have met Alex! She is incredibly talented. She took a moment and froze it in time to save and cherish it forever. My husband hates photos and she made us both ...
so comfortable and feel natural. Her style is right on point and you definitely don’t have to worry about a thing with her! She is golden. Hire and save her forever.
My fiancé, well boyfriend at the time, went on a mystery date with Alex! It was honestly the most fun we’ve ever had - we got engaged during that date! :)
Alex is personable and a...
pproachable and her talent is undeniable! She puts so much effort into making her couples feel comfortable and making memories all while capturing beautiful photos! We will certainly use Alex for future photos as well as recommended her to everyone we know!
I was very fortunate to work with Alex! She is very creative and knows how to direct you without making you feel awkward or uncomfortable. Our session with her was light and fun, a...
nd most importantly, personal! We loved all the photos that came back to us! 10/10 recommend! Alex will not disappoint.
Alex is seriously the best! Her work is absolutely stunning, and she is one of the coolest people my fiancé and I have ever met. It was a huge opportunity to work with her, and I w...
ould definitely recommend her to anyone wanting professional photos. You will not be disappointed!
Someone was definitely looking out for us when we just moved to Sacramento and we had the opportunity to shoot our FIRST EVER professional photoshoot with Alex Mari. Her work spea...
ks for itself. But let me talk about how easy, fun and memorable it was to work with Alex. She makes you feel like you are doing an amazing job, at such ease, you don’t feel uncomfortable. To the point, I noticed my fiancé Robert (who I have to force to take pictures with me) was really getting into the shoot himself!
Alex’s style is such a COOL, indie, fine art style of photography that really makes you feel all kinds of great emotions! Thank you Alex for your beautiful engagement/elopement photography. You are a rare one!
Where do I even begin with Alex? My husband and I have never met someone who is so professional in her art, yet so personal with her clients. In a career that constantly has someon...
e meeting and seeing people, Alex will make you feel like you’re the only ones in the world when she’s working with you. She devoted so much of her time and energy into our elopement in Maine – she did research and combed countless locations in Acadia National Park to ensure we had the perfect spots for our day. During the ceremony itself, the couple’s hike afterwards, and the day-after shoot in the mountains, Alex made us feel natural and comfortable in our own skin. She definitely isn’t afraid of a little dirt and a lot of climbing, as long as she captures the rawest, most love-filled moments she can. She worked so well with us, our crazy group, and the videographers to ensure that the day moved like clockwork. When you choose to work with Alex, you don’t just get an incredibly gifted photographer – you get a team player, chaos coordinator, cheerleader, and friend. Choose Alex, you will never regret it!
My boyfriend and I had the opportunity to do a session with Alex in Canyonlands National Park. She's such an amazing person to work with! She is so sweet and down to earth which tr...
anslates perfectly into her photographs. The photos she took of us were warm, fun, full of love, and at times *drool* so dreamy. She made us feel like supermodels while also treating us like we were best friends. Five out of five, would recommend.
Alex is so amazing! I couldn’t say enough about her. She is super quick in her responses and very helpful and informative. We did bridals and we are both very shy but we got to the...
shoot and didn’t once feel uncomfortable. Alex was so fun to work with and the images were absolutely stunning. I would highly recommend her.
I cannot recommend Alex enough. My fiancé and I booked a session with her on a whim to get some photos taken. She took the time to get to know us as a couple and planned the shoot ...
to reflect our relationship. She was very professional and thoughtful throughout the process even playing our favorite music to help ease our nerves. The thing I love best about her work is that the photos are REAL. They look ethereal and whimsical but more than anything, every picture we got back was a snapshot of a real moment between us. Nothing was staged or cliche. She had us just act like ourselves and directed us to act natural while she captured our relationship perfectly. We’ve already contacted her about photographing our wedding next year and we are so excited about it!
Alex is an art creator. Her photos are out of the world. The tones, the stories, the movement are just a few things to point out, and which make her work so very one of a kind. The...
whole experience was amazing.
Most amazing photographer and great people to spend time with! They’ll get all the good moments out of you. I hope to work with them again soon!
Alex and Jon shot our wedding portraits during cocktail hour and in that short amount of time, they were able to capture some amazing shots! With schedule falling behind, they grac...
efully stayed around to finish up the session, free of charge. When everyone was caught up in the day, they instinctively knew to photograph the DIY wedding projects that were super special to me. We received many compliments on how unique the photos turned out and we are very happy that we chose Alex Mari to photograph our special day!
Alex is the best photographer I have ever worked with. She knows exactly how to instruct her couples to make their photos look so natural and fun. She truly brings out the best in ...
the people she photographs. And she is such a fun person to work with. She is exactly who you'd want to be apart of your big day or your special photo session. Her personality is perfect for this kind of job. The way she takes and edits her photos are so dreamy and magical. She could make ANYTHING look attractive and good. Alex truly has a gift. The photos I have from her are my absolute favorite photos I've ever had taken.
If you are looking for the most beautiful pictures at your wedding Alex is the girl to go to! I can’t even begin to explain how great she is. For our engagement shoot she helped u...
s pick our venue. It was a beautiful meadow on a sunset. I was very nervose to pose for photos and Alex was so comforting and amazing showing us what to do her ideas were amazing! For our wedding her and her husband captured our day so perfectly! She was down for anything haven plenty of ideas and was so go with the flow! I highly highly recommend her to everyone! The amount of compliments I have had on my photos is unreal. Her colors and tones in her pictures are so unique and give you a romantic feel! Absolutely breathtaking. She had some computer problems and sent up 3 beautiful portraits for our house from our engagement shoot! She really does go above and beyond to make sure you get everything that you personally want from your special day! Look at her instagram account it is absolutely stunning!
Alex was absolutely great to work with! I found Alex on Instagram while searching for a wedding photographer, and instantly fell in love with her style of photography. Her images...
are very romantic and whimsical which was the vibe I was looking for! Alex gave us great direction for posing, which we desperately needed since my husband and I are not models by any means. We were extremely impressed and ecstatic with how our wedding pictures turned out. They are definitely something we will cherish forever and I'm so happy we decided to have Alex be our photographer. One of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
Alex was hands down the best photographer I have ever used! Not only did she take unbelievably amazing engagement photos(Like I wish I could post them on here, they were that crazy...
good!), but she also made the photoshoot so comfortable! As a guy, I was worried about how awkward it might be to have someone take pictures of me being romantic with my fiancé(As I have had photoshoots in the past with other photographers that were super awkward!) but Alex made the shoot so easy and comfortable, and SO FUN! Alex somehow just knew exactly what we had been envisioning for our engagement photos, and gave us photos that totally exceeded our expectations! The photoshoot with Alex was way more than just a photoshoot, my fiancé and I still look back on that photoshoot as one of the funnest, most romantic times we've had!
THANK YOU ALEX!
Alex is THE best photographer out there. She did my portrait photos in May and I’m still using them as my profile photos on my business pages and personal pages! She is THE sweetes...
t soul. Seriously! And she made my shoot SO full of fun and authentic emotion. I don’t think I’ve ever seen myself so happy captured on camera. I always look back on them to remind me of that day. I went through a broken engagement and Alex helped me begin to discover the real me hidden underneath all of the trauma and confusion. She even played music for me during my sesh! And the way she captured authentic emotion out of me was so amazing! She is my go-to inspiration, my photography mentor, and most of all a very sweet friend. I don’t have a lover right now, but when I do, I want Alex capturing our special love and wedding day. I already know she’s going to photograph it. And it’s going to be one heck of a shoot, I will tell you that! I honestly can’t wait. For now though, I love getting portraits done by her. She’s fantastic. All the stars aligned when I chose her and she delivered back with the most incredible magic I’ve ever seen. Alex, you’re going places, and I’m SO proud of you. And if you’re a bride/groom looking for a wedding photographer and/or engagement sesh or adventure sesh, not one single penny will ever be wasted if you choose Alex. Just do it! You will never be disappointed.
Alex is a fantastic businesswoman. She’s a fantastic photographer. And she’s a fantastic friend. I recommend her to ANYONE who is looking! 🖤
Alex is sooo talented! She knows how to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera to get natural and candid shots and interactions that will leave you ecstatic when you see ...
the results. Going on a hike before our shoot made it more of a fun activity and allowed us to get to know our photographer before shooting. I have prints of EVERY single photo from our gallery in an album I will always cherish forever! I highly recommend Alex to all of my friends and anyone looking for a couples or wedding photographer. She has also greatly inspired me with my own photography business! But that’s another review... ❤️
When looking for a photographer for our engagement photos and wedding, we were definitely looking for a personal and raw style and Alex was 100% that. My whole wedding was a blur b...
ut getting back our photos I was floored by all the beautiful things she captured. And as a person who hates being photographed she made me feel incredibly comfortable and every photo was amazing. I could not have asked for a better experience or better photographer.
Alex Mari is such an amazing photographer. She did such an amazing job making my husband and I feel calm and at ease on our day. It was such a chaotic day (as all wedding days can ...
be) but when we were taking pictures I felt like it all slowed down and calmed down. She has such amazing creative ideas that helped genuinely capture our day. Overall she was such a wonderful investment, we love our photos and will cherish them forever.
So with Alex, it’s pure magic. We CONSTANTLY felt comfortable. NEVER an awkward moment (of what to do, what to wear, where to go.) Her style is amazing and we LOVED every single pi...
cture she delivered. It was such an adventure. She is definitely the one 💛
My husband and I did a couple’s shoot with Alex and let me just tell you that she’s absolutely incredible! My husband HATES getting pictures taken but genuinely enjoyed our entire ...
shoot! We ran through fields, road tripped a bit, climbed the side of a foggy cliff, and laughed the entire time. Alex handled everything, from the sudden weather changes to the natural “poses” without a hitch! She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and like complete rockstars. Don’t miss out on this wonderfully kind and incredibly talented photographer!
Alex is so amazing at what she does!! Her photos are purely authentic and natural! Our engagement shoot was so amazing and we will forever cherish these photos ! Thanks again!

fell in love with her photos. She is able to capture true emotion in the most breathtaking settings that make you feel like you're looking into a dream. Not knowing Alex prior to meeting her up on a mountain in SW Virginia to take engagement pictures, we were a tad bit nervous. From the moment she introduced herself she put both my fiancé and I at ease with her down to earth and kind demeanor. We quickly got to laughing and sharing stories of adventures we'd been on and our favorite coffee shops as if we were old friend reconnecting again. We are so impressed with her work and think she is just the nicest person. I can't wait for her to shoot our wedding!
