We first met Alex for our engagement photos, and wanted to do a test run with him before we officially booked our wedding with him. As soon as our shoot was over, we booked him on the spot for our wedding because he was SO MUCH FUN to work with..., and we HAD to have him for our date! We hadn't seen our photos back yet, but we knew he was a perfect match for us.
We got our engagements back so fast, and the only hard part was narrowing down our favorite to only one to use on the save the dates! He also gave us a whole wedding of photos he shot at our wedding venue previously to check out.
Next, I saw Alex for my bridal portraits only 3 days before my wedding (we live in a different state and that was the earliest we could get here for the wedding). We had a BLAST! He makes you ACTUALLY laugh because he is HILARIOUS, and catches your real smiles, and will get a ton of photos of you that you didn't even see him take. He's like a NINJA energizer bunny! He's everywhere at once, and it's like he sees everything in slow motion and can catch you at just the right moment with the perfect lighting! We never had to wait around and wonder what poses to do, he had me going non stop with tons of different poses and locations. At the end of our shoot, I asked him (since it was so close to the wedding) if he could just pick one bridal pic that didn't need much work to pick for the reception table, and instead, he edited over 100 photos, and gave me them ALL to choose from in less than 48 hours! I couldn't believe how hard he worked, he even let me pick 6 photos that he printed out and brought for me to set out at the wedding!! The bridal photos were TO DIE FOR! Everyone I showed them to cried like a baby, they are GORGEOUS!
Then for our wedding!! I had already worked with Alex twice, so I had no worries that he was gonna have everything taken care of. I couldn't wait for all my friends and family to meet him, because honestly he was my favorite part of the wedding and I knew they would all LOVE him. He was part of the party, taking selfies with me and dancing (and snapping of course) the night away like a long lost BFF! I saw him going all over the place, but at the same time I wasn't even aware he was taking photos of us. When we left the reception in our getaway car, I later found out Alex was in the back seat of the car taking photos of us before we drove away and we didn't even notice!! He's amazing!! My entire family was in love with him, he is an amazing person, not just an amazing photographer. The next day they were all ranting and raving about how fun and energetic he was! We can not wait to see all the amazing photos he comes up with from our wedding!! You can really put your trust in him to capture all the emotions of your special day and everything else you'll want to see later, and not have to worry about a thing!
We also booked his photobooth and the photos came out GORGEOUS. He has a super high quality camera and perfect lighting in an adorable open concept booth, with a ton of fun props. He had all our photobooth pics online the morning after the wedding, and everyone was having so much fun in all their photos!! The booth printed doubles of all the photo strips, and you can even text them to yourself or post on facebook right from the booth.
We love you so much Alex, we lucked out BIG TIME meeting you. If you're lucky enough to find Alex with some availability in his schedule, BOOK HIM NOW! You'll be SO HAPPY!
