Frequently Asked Questions

I like to think of my style as cinematic, with deep, rich tones that bring mood and emotion to life. I photograph naturally and unobtrusively, capturing genuine connections and spontaneous moments while keeping the experience lighthearted and playful.

I bring technical expertise and a unique artistic style to every shoot, with a human first approach rooted in empathy.

Wedding photography is a social art, and I strive to stay aware of myself and the moments and detail around my couples, and to capture their likeness with the upmost care and respect.

Most people don’t feel naturally comfortable in front of a camera, and I consider my greatest strength to be able to put them at ease so the moments I capture feel authentic, effortless, and fully alive.

My commitment to providing an exceptional experience combined with my dedication to creating art and preserving genuine memories, is the ideal I strive to uphold when trusted with your photos.

“Alex is truly a gem of a photographer, and a gem of a human. His photos are extraordinary, and he’s always made us feel comfortable during our engagement and wedding sessions. During our honeymoon, my husband and I received our completed wedding photo album from Alex. For hours we looked at each photo, reliving the story of a long wedding day (that goes by really fast). We were able to see more than just our point of view, but the smiles and tears on the faces of our loved ones. Alex is assertive, with a relaxed demeanor, enabling him to get the desired shots in an optimal way. Once he’s behind the scenes, he’s turned to his creative side, making magic happen to each photo. Alex receives our highest recommendation as a photographer.” -Jayme

“We went into this (engagement shoot) feeling nervous and a bit frantic truthfully. Alex was extremely professional and calmed both of our nerves down! He’s fantastic at what he does and he’s equally as good a human being.” - Yash

“We had a great experience working with Alex on our wedding day! He’s extremely professional and great at directing shots in ways that make you feel comfortable while also getting the best lighting and angles. We were impressed at his efficiency at directing everyone during our wedding (no easy feat to herd cats!) and we especially loved the candid shots he took of us all! We had so many compliments on the style of photography, especially the coloring and contrast in our photos. Working with him was very easy from start to finish. We had an initial 20 minute phone consultation, then follow up with specific details, and on the day of he came by a few hours earlier to scout out all the best spots at our venue. His pricing for wedding photography is very reasonable.” -Priyanka

To officially book, I require all couples to sign my contract and deposit a 50% non refundable retainer. Reason being that when we do book, I block my schedule and reject any requests for that day to hold your appointment. If we are able to reschedule, your retainer can be used put towards the new date.

Absolutely! I mainly serve the Greater Los Angeles Area and the Greater Washington Metropolitan Area (weird coverage area, I know!) but I travel to wherever duty calls! I will drive up to 2 hours from Washington, D.C. or Downtown Los Angeles with no additional travel fee.

For me, photography is about preserving the honesty of a moment, not reshaping it. Everything you see is shot in camera and color graded in Lightroom. Even the double exposures are all made in camera (using film techniques and our present surroundings).

You are not alone! Most couples I’ve worked with have their first professional photography experience with me. If you think they look good, imagine what we can do.

Of course! but please keep in mind my style as well as the time and preparation required. For this reason, I can’t guarantee any photos or requests.

I normally deliver around 40-60 images per hour of service. With a second shooter, I typically deliver 60-90 images per hour. However, I do have a tendency to over deliver!

From the end of your coverage, it takes around 4-8 weeks to fully deliver your photos depending on the time of year. I typically confirm the length of delivery time prior to coverage.
