We crossed paths with Alex in early 2016, as we began the requisite steps in planning out or 11/11/16 wedding. After some preliminary email exchanges, we met with Alex in-person to discuss ideas and specific details. It took no more than a few ...minutes to be rest-assured that we weren't just in good hands—we were in the very best of hands.
Reviewing Alex's work made it clear to me that he was a visionary in his chosen art, extracting permanent memories from the fleeting moments experienced during a wedding. His editing style and composition spoke to us in a few that few others did.
On the day of our wedding, Alex was meticulous in ensuring that the set and scene flowed organically with our wedding day. He was unobtrusive, acting as a guiding hand to place both us and our guests in the ideal light and framing to deliver what he had envisioned. The wedding, in and of itself, was as all weddings are: enchanting and wonderful, yet so swiftly moving that each moment was fleeting before the next arrived.
When Alex delivered his final body of images captured from the day-of, we were nothing short of stunned. Given the critical acclaim that he’s garnered in the recent past, expectations were high. Yet, somehow, Alex managed to supersede them all. The common truism accepted by couples after their wedding day is that you’re only left with the memories and the photos. The former were our responsibility, and the latter was Alex’s undertaking. Thankfully, he delivered a small body of art that we can forever cherish—a series of gorgeously shot and masterfully edited images that tell a story that we can forever call our own.
Concessions and sacrifices can be made in many avenues for any important event, but as one who’s experienced his craft first-hand, let me take this opportunity to reiterate that Alex’s photography represents an irreplaceable element of any gathering you might hold dear. If your goal is to ensure that you’re left with something timeless, something unique to you and those with you on your special occasion, take advantage of the raw talent that Alex Richardson brings to the table. It won’t be a decision you ever regret.
