Alexander was so fun to work with - and we only met him on our wedding day. He made it feel natural and easy to be in front of the camera (something I'm not very good at) together. The photos also came out beautifully - we are so happy with our choice! We will be looking at these photos and thinking of our special day for many years to come.
Alex was such a fantastic photographer and I loved working with him. He was so easy to partner with from start to finish, and I went into our wedding day having 100% confidence in his ability to do an amazing job capturing all of the special moments of the day. So much so that we did not hire a videographer because we knew Alex would have it covered. The final product (i.e., photos) turned out beautifully. From the colors, to the angles, to the emotion and memories that he was able to capture on film - I was so, so happy with our decision to go with Alex. Plus, he's a lot of fun to work with and makes you feel comfortable and at ease. Thank you Alex!
Alex was our photographer for our wedding in October 2016. He was absolutely wonderful to work with! He listened to what we wanted and what our budget was and created a perfect package for us. We were instantly comfortable working with Alex because of his awesome personality, which was super important for us because we both looked and felt natural in our pictures. Alex has an amazing eye and we have some incredible landscape shots in a location offsite from our wedding that he scoped out before our wedding day. He was also able to capture amazing movement and life in our photos. Some of the pictures from our first dance and father/daughter dance almost feel like they are moving. I cannot recommend Alex enough and we are so thrilled that we were lucky enough to work with him!
We knew we wanted really good photos for our wedding because when the day is over the one thing you are left with are the photos. We knew we wanted the best. We did a lot of research and Alex was competitively priced with other highly sought after premier photographers, he actually beat them out on price which was great. He is slightly more expensive than most standard photographers, but let me tell you it is 100% worth it to pay a little extra money to get a world-class photographer to shoot your wedding.
I felt beautiful on my wedding day and a part of that was knowing I had Alex on my side to shoot my best side. We had already created a good rapport before the wedding but even if we hadn't, Alex can put you at ease. He makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera; I had let him know some of my insecurities before we started shooting and I can tell you I didn't have a single unflattering shot.
For me there are a ton of amazing things about working with Alex but my #1 has got to be the fact that he doesn't ask for cheesy shots. We've all seen it, the same wedding pose you see time and time again where the couple looks so awkward and uncomfortable because they would never pose like that in real life; it usually includes some sort of lying or leaning on one another. Yeah, we didn't want that and Alex never directed us to do anything like that. Now if you want that, you certainly can ask him to up the cheese and Im positive he will be able to deliver but thats not his go to. He wants real photos that show love and comfort and happiness and he captures the essence of a couple, not just on their wedding day, but how they live their life together.
Alex's photography is epic, our wedding photos are epic. Book Alex! Don't hesitate!
Alex is a rock star and an absolute pleasure to work with. We worked with Alex on our engagement pictures, rehearsal dinner, and our wedding, each time he was not only professional/on point but fun and enjoyable to work with - he was literally one of our favorite parts of our wedding experience. Additionally, Alex is hugely talented in positioning pictures, paying attention to lighting, and making it easy/seamless to capture the essence of the occasion and moment. We would give Alex our absolutely highest recommendation for any event and look forward to working with him in the future.
I cannot write enough about Alex. Thanks to him I had an amazing day that he was truly integral in making happen. He arrived early, always good, and it just got better from there. I think the standard group pictures are always hard to make anything other than required yet I love all of mine and they capture a lot more than just us standing there with different family and friends. He also let me try to pull off some really ridiculous photo ideas such as sitting in a tree!
However this doesn't even come to close to what he managed to achieve during the dinner. We had our dinner in a wine cave and with the way the tables are there is a limited amount of space I didn't even realize he was going to be in the cave. Alex was not only there but was not remotely intrusive and thus I have fantastic photos of people just having fun as opposed to posing. I also have to mention that he filled a few wine glasses!
To sum up I would never hire anyone else even if I had to fly Alex to where the event was.
One more thing if you want you dog in your wedding he is definitely who you want!
So, one more time, Alex thank you for making a long awaited day absolutely perfect and pictures that I look at and they make me laugh and cry!
We interview a few photographers Rubin was relaxed and professional and completely willing to accommodate requests as well as having a vision in mind for our photos. He captured every shot and was discrete throughout the entire ceremony. Rubin was so great to work with the bridal party wanted him to join in at the after party! Thanks for the amazing photo's Rubin.
Rubin and his asstant were amazing photographers! He ran around all day and got some amazing shots! He stayed longer than what he was contracted to stay. They made us feel like movie stars! We would recommend them to anyone!!
Alex Rubin of Rubin Photography was a referral from a friend and although he wasn't available to shoot our wedding, he did our engagement photos and we loved them. Alex had a way of making us feel relaxed during our shoot, and was open to any ideas we had. His associates Jonathan and Laney were fantastic at our wedding, and although we have only seen a sneak peek of the shots, we're confident they'll turn out great. Jonathan and Laney blended in well and our friends and family loved them. Would definitely recommend. The only reason Rubin Photography doesn't get five stars is because I haven't seen all my proofs yet. Will revise once the reveal happens.
Lannie and Lindsy were great - so easy to work with and as our day got a little crazy with rain she just rolled with our change of venue and took beautiful photos.
