We couldn’t have had a better wedding photographer! From the very beginning, Alexis was professional, responsive, and so easy to work with. She made us feel at ease and comfortable...
during our engagement shoot as well as on our wedding day. One of the things we appreciated most was how much she cared about making sure our wedding photos felt personal to us. Before the wedding, she took the time to plan with us which photos were most important to us, making sure we didn’t forget any of the special family, friends, and moments we wanted captured.
On our wedding day, she was organized and made everything feel so easy and stress-free. She captured all of the moments we had hoped for, along with so many beautiful candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening. We highly recommend Alexis to any couple looking for a photographer who is incredibly talented, thoughtful, and wonderful to work with!
One of the best decisions that we made when planning our daughter’s wedding was being given the name of Alexis El Massih Photography and signing the contract almost immediately fol...
lowing our conversation. From our first conversation, I quickly learned that Alexis is passionate about her work and capturing the moments of a very special day! Alexis is a joy to work with as well as her team. She works with the couple to get to know them and brings out the joy in their relationship which is captured by her incredible talent. She is also very creative with her pictures. My daughter presented her an idea for some pictures and Alexis’ imagination and creativity was evident in what are some of the most unique and loved pictures from the day! Alexis created a fantastic keepsake of a most memorable and beautiful day for our daughter and her husband which will be treasured for a lifetime.
We love Alexis!! From our very first Zoom call, we knew she was going to be our wedding photographer. She is so warm, welcoming, and genuine, and she made us feel completely comfor...
table from day one.
Throughout the entire planning process, Alexis was incredibly organized, communicative, and thoughtful. She kept us on track, was always available to answer questions, and made what can be a stressful process feel so easy.
Our engagement session only confirmed we had made the right choice. Alexis took the time to get to know us, making the photos feel natural and true to who we are. We are definitely not people who know how to pose (lol), but she has such a calm, effortless way of directing. She never made anything feel forced and always reassured us, allowing us to relax, be ourselves, and have fun!
On our wedding day, Alexis captured every moment so beautifully while allowing us to stay fully present. She has an incredible eye for both the big moments and the quiet, meaningful ones, and when we received our gallery, it truly felt like we were reliving our wedding day all over again.
Beyond her talent, Alexis genuinely cares about her couples, and it shows in everything she does. We are beyond grateful she captured one of the most important days of our lives, and these are photos we’ll cherish forever. We cannot recommend her enough!
We couldn’t be happier with our experience working with Alexis!
She photographed both our engagement session and our wedding, and from start to finish, she was an absolute joy to w...
ork with. Alexis has a natural ability to make you feel at ease in front of the camera—even if you’re a little camera shy like we were! She guided us through the sessions with a perfect mix of professionalism and friendliness, and it really shows in the final photos.
The images she delivered are stunning—emotional, candid, and beautifully edited. She captured all the little moments as well as the big ones, and we’ll cherish them for the rest of our lives. Communication was smooth the entire time, and she was always quick to respond, which made the planning process so much less stressful.
We’re so grateful to Alexis for her talent and kindness. If you’re looking for someone to capture your special moments with heart and artistry, we can’t recommend her enough!

l always cherish these memories of our wedding!
Alexis is a masterful artist! Her eye for composition, use of natural light, and ability to capture "the" moment (and the subtleties of each interaction) are what makes her photos ...
more than just a record of the day! Her photos are simply stunning, each one better than the last! As a side note, as mother-of-the-groom, I was particularly grateful that she shared her expertise and guidance with the bride and groom as they planned their wedding in the months leading up to the wedding day!
Alexis was such a joy to work with! From our first email with her, she has been so responsive and willing to work with our needs! My fiancé and I were wanting to do a destination e...
ngagement photoshoot in DC and Alexis truly helped us bring our vision to life. We were initially a little nervous because 1) this was our first shoot and 2) we both were not from the area, but the minute we met Alexis in person, we felt so at ease. We are SO happy with our pictures and cannot stop looking at them!!! She truly has an eye for capturing picture-perfect moments :) Thank you Alexis for making this process so easy and so efficient! We are so fortunate to have worked with you and will be booking you again the next time we come to DC!
There is truly no one better than Alexis El Massih. There are so many qualities we love about Alexis, we could list a million, but our favorites are her compassion, empathy, kindne...
ss, love, and honesty. She is an incredibly talented photographer and artist. She is able to capture images that will blow you away. Our engagement session with Alexis was our first time working with her, but when we received our images back, we were beyond excited to have the opportunity to work with her again on our wedding day. Our wedding day album is filled with photos of the little details, the love, our families, and the dance floor - the images capture our wedding perfectly. We look back at the photos often and fondly! We have MANY of them printed and hanging in our home. Fast forward, Alexis just captured the MOST precious photos of our growing family. We have recommended Alexis to all of our loved ones and will continue to do so!
Alexis was the most amazing photographer that we could ask for. Throughout our whole wedding planning process, she was there for us, giving inspiration and helping us find the styl...
e that was "us". She was incredibly professional and knowledgeable in our planning calls, during the engagement shoots, and throughout our wedding weekend.
She sent us our engagement photos in a very timely manner, and set sneak peak photos very soon after our wedding so we could already relive the magic. We are just so impressed with everything she did.
We also heard nothing but amazing things about her from my guests and other vendors. My husband and I now have beautiful classic photos that feel so timeless and artistic. We really recommend Alexis to be your photographer for your special day, because she truly cares, and her love and talent shows through all her photos!
Alexis is a fantastic photographer and made me and my fiancé feel cared for from start to finish. She started with a call to get to know us as a couple and provided style tips for ...
the session. At the session we could see her creativity and joy, which made us feel at ease and excited to be there. She did a wonderful job deciding on our poses and scenery, which was a lot of fun. Alexis also has a user-friendly website to view the pictures, as well as to favorite and compare them. We highly recommend her and loved her work!
Alexis took engagement photos for my fiancé and I. Alexis mapped out a plan to take us to multiple locations, each with a unique atmosphere. Taking pictures with Alexis was like ha...
nging out with an old friend. She made sure we had fun and the results were incredible pictures that we will use for our save the dates and in our new home. Alexis had a preview of our album within a couple of days, and the entire album was ready shortly after that. If you’re looking for a great photographer who produces outstanding pictures, do yourself a favor and give Alexis a call.
Alexis is a true professional when it comes to wedding photos. The photos were fantastic and the service was reasonably priced.
My wife and I strongly recommend Alexis be there to...
record your special and memorable day.
I cannot speak highly enough about Alexis... Having seen her work for years, she was the only photographer I reached out to when planning our engagement/wedding photos. She reached...
out early in the process to hear our thoughts and ideas and create a cohesive timeline for our wedding day.
When the pandemic forced us to cancel our original wedding plans in October 2020, Alexis insisted on traveling to Boston to photograph our private wedding ceremony. Not only did she travel TWICE to take our engagement and wedding photographs, but she essentially created and executed our entire wedding day timeline and kept everyone and everything organized over the course of the day. Without hesitation, she scaled down her services to accommodate our "micro wedding" and was able to capture our wedding day in the most beautiful photos. During the posed photos, Alexis provided incredible guidance and made my husband and I, who had never been professionally photographed, feel so comfortable and have a blast during the sessions. On top of all that, she sent us sneak peeks within 48 hours of our wedding and the full digital album was completed even faster than I had imagined.
Again, incredible experience overall. I would recommend Alexis to any friend or family member looking for a wedding photographer and I can't wait to call Alexis in the future for maternity/family photos!
Alexis is the first person we booked when we got engaged- I knew from the beginning that I wanted her capturing our special day!! Her attention to detail and beautiful artwork is e...
xactly what we were looking for and she is the sweetest human there is. Alexis made us feel comfortable throughout our engagement photos and wedding and we couldn't have asked for anyone better! We love Alexis so so much and were extremely blessed to have her on our special day :)
Alexis is such a lovely photographer to work with! From the beginning, she showed so much enthusiasm and interest in our wedding as if we had known each other for a long time. For ...
our engagement photoshoot, Alexis really took her time and did not make us feel rushed. For our wedding, she was on time, calm, and flexible (when there were a few mishaps). Alexis always made my husband and I feel like we were the most important in the room and that helped everything feel natural! All our photos came out perfectly; they were timeless, elegant, and beautiful. Her work is stunning and I would highly recommend Alexis! We will be using Alexis for family portraits as well!
We cannot recommend Alexis enough! We were so happy that she did our engagement photos and was our photographer for our wedding day! She was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and was hap...
py to go the extra mile to make our photos extra special! The photos came out great and everybody in our family loved them. Thank you Alexis!
There was no hesitation when we decided to ask Alexis to be our engagement/wedding photographer. While planning our wedding my (now) husband and I agreed we did not want photos th...
at would look dated down the line. We wanted photos that would genuinely capture 'us' and the parts of our wedding that we felt were the most important. Alexis met with us, listened to our needs, and most importantly, met them. She is professional, yet you feel like your hanging out with a friend throughout the whole process. Her genuine and warm personality shine throughout her work. Aside from the photos, our favorite part of working with Alexis was her fearlessness to capture the perfect shot. The day of our wedding we were taking photos on a beach and at one point Alexis was in the ocean to make sure she got the perfect angle of the sun! We have only wonderful things to say about her work- her artistry- and highly recommend!!
I can't recommend hiring Alexis enough! My now husband and I hired Alexis for both our engagement and wedding photos. Our photos are GORGEOUS. Everyone who sees our wedding photos ...
is floored by how beautiful they turned out. I usually don't enjoy getting my picture taken and feel pretty awkward when a camera is pointed at me, but Alexis knew how to tell me to pose (and was so patient!) so my pictures are lovely and how to set me at ease so that my joy was evident. Alexis went above and beyond to make sure that our pictures from our wedding are amazing and so treasured. She is professional, wonderful to work with, and she makes the process so smooth. Wedding planning was so stressful, but working with Alexis was such a pleasure. Alexis' love of photography and eye for what will turn out beautiful is incredible. She also has such an eye for arranging and capturing details. I have been a bridesmaid in a couple weddings with terrible photographers who added stress to the planning process, were unprofessional, were rude to guests, and failed to capture key moments on the wedding day that the couple will never get back, so I was nervous about hiring a photographer for my own wedding. Alexis not only put my fears to rest from the start, she was a joy to work with and made all of my engagement and wedding picture dreams come true. We are so thankful we chose Alexis.
Alexis is a master with a camera. She was able to capture our wedding better than I ever thought was possible. My wife and I have continually been completely amazed by our wedding ...
pictures, and every single image holds all of the feelings of love that we have for each other. It takes someone really special and exceptionally talented to capture those deeper moments. We will forever treasure these pictures, and they have been a constant reminder for both of us to see just how wonderful love can be when the moment is captured so elegantly. I cannot thank Alexis enough for blessing us with these memories captured in our photos in sincerely skillful, professional, and masterful way that she did. Thank you Alexis!!
I can’t say enough great things about Alexis. She was a student at the college I worked at and as soon as I saw her photos I knew she had to be our photographer. She did our engage...
ment photos and wedding pictures and we couldn’t be happier! She made us feel so comfortable and really captured “us” and our relationship in the photos. She worked with an amazing makeup artist that make the whole thing fall into place! I have planned and worked hundreds of weddings and photographers are a major moving piece most people don’t think about in the day of. Alexis stuck to our schedule for the day, we barely noticed she was there (in a good way!) and the pictures came out unbelievable!! We still have guests asking for print outs of the wedding day! We are so grateful to have had Alexis capture the most important moments in our life. We would hire her over and over!!
I wish I could give Alexis ten stars! We were so happy we chose her to do our engagement photos in NYC! As awkward as taking engagement photos can be, Alexis made the process so co...
mfortable and fun. She made us feel at ease all day and it showed in our photos. She is extremely easy to work with and she got to know us and what type of style we were going for in the pictures. She was punctual and professional and so sweet! The pricing was very reasonable. And our photos were AMAZING! All our friends and families still comment on how great they are! We highly recommend Alexis El Massih Photography!
Alexis is absolutely a joy to work with! She is super sweet and natural when trying to get you and your significant other to pose. She will capture your vision and help shape it in...
the way that will best translate to photo production. Her editing skills are also AMAZING. The lighting touches she did on some darker photos was exactly what we needed. An amazing vendor, I have booked her again for many occasions after our wedding. Love her!
Alexis is truly a beautiful soul! We felt so comfortable with her from the beginning - she has this magical way of combining human compassion with professionalism.

d our wedding in Boston, MA, and we were so happy with the process and outcome. Alexis traveled to us twice (once for engagement photos, and once for the wedding) and both times she was flexible to our every need.
I can’t wait for future reasons to work with Alexis again ♥️
Hiring Alexis to be our wedding photographer was the best — and easiest — decision we made in the wedding-planning process. We intend to hire her for milestone events in the future...
.
Alexis’ talent is beyond words. We can cite two specific instances where this was evident.
During our engagement photo shoot in Boston’s Seaport neighborhood we were witness to Alexis’ eye for detail. Throughout the hour together, we walked around the area finding locations to use as backdrops. At one point, she literally stopped traffic for us to take a photograph while crossing the street. The photographs are amazing and were proof that we made a great choice in hiring Alexis.
During the final photo session on our wedding day — the two of us on a footbridge in a natural area — her immense talent was apparent. There was discussion about whether to bring the bridal bouquet. We decided to bring it just in case we wanted it used in the photos. Within fifteen seconds after arriving at the location, Alexis said “We don’t need the bouquet. I already know what we’re going to do.” And did she ever! The photographs on the footbridge not only made us both look like vintage film stars, but captured the essence of our passion, laughter, and love.
In short, Alexis was able to capture “us” as a couple. We felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. We would highly recommend Alexis to anyone seeking an immensely talented photographer whose talent and expertise transcends the lens. You will not be disappointed.
