Invest in making memories that last a lifetime

My approach to every wedding is simple: to show up fully present, invested, and attentive to the moments that matter. I personally photograph every wedding I take on, bringing a consistent vision, guidance, and genuine care throughout the day. Depending on the coverage selected, I may work alongside a second photographer or videographer, but I remain your primary creative and point of contact from start to finish.

From our first conversation through the delivery of your final gallery, I work directly with you every step of the way. Because I only photograph one wedding at a time and commit to a limited number of weddings each year, my focus stays where it belongs, on your experience and story.

Photo and video travel is included within 80 miles of LAX or DCA.

A 50% non-refundable retainer is required to reserve your date.

Bookings made within 30 days of appointment require full payment at the time of reservation.

Mini Film

Perfect for couples who want a little video
without committing to a full video team.

This option offers a short and heartfelt film (~1 min) capturing candid laughs, in-between moments, and the feeling of the day as your wedding unfolds. Think of it as a peek behind the curtain rather than a traditional wedding film. Designed as a companion to your photo coverage, this is not a full cinematic wedding video, but a playful filmic keepsake. Includes one video assistant, up to 6 hours of video coverage.

Engagement Session

Engagement sessions run 40~80 minutes, depending on light, location, and how adventurous you want to be. We’ll plan the timing and location together, with simple direction that keeps things natural and comfortable. It’s the perfect warm up so wedding day portraits feel easy and effortless.

Proposals typically last around 30 minutes. We’ll plan everything in advance from timing to positioning, so the moment feels effortless and genuine. I’ll stay discreet (hiding in a tree or passing like a tourist with a camera) and capture the surprise as it unfolds. After the big “yes,” we’ll ease into a short engagement session to celebrate the moment. Champagne optional!

FAQ

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

    Wedding photography is a social and technical 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

  • Shoot me an email and we can set a time to chat! You can tell me more about your vision, what kind of style you like, and we can plan to make it happen.

    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 towards the new date.

  • Absolutely! While I’m based in both the Greater Los Angeles and Greater DMV (D.C., Maryland, and Virginia) area, I’m always up for a change of scenery. I regularly travel between coasts and am happy to go wherever your story takes me.

    I typically drive up to 80 miles from either LAX or DCA at no extra charge. Thereafter, I split travel charges with the couple to come to a fair agreement when it comes to travel. I try my best to not let travel costs get in the way of the wedding budget.

    That said, if your wedding is something truly spectacular: a once-in-a-lifetime location, an intimate destination, or a story that feels special to me I could be known to lower (or even waive) travel fees entirely. I love a good reason to pack my bags for adventure!

  • You are not alone! and you’ve come to the right place! 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.

  • Absolutely!

  • Yes, I can provide Proof of Insurance upon request!

  • Of course! but please keep in mind my style as well as the potential time and preparation required. For this reason, I can’t guarantee any photo requests but I will sure make an darn earnest effort!

  • Although I’m not typically one for “image counts”, I normally deliver in the ball park of 400-600 photos for 8 hours of coverage, although I have a tendency to over deliver.

    With a second photographer, this can be closer to an additional 20 photos per hour.

  • 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.

    I am known to deliver a few (10-15) photos as a preview/thank you within 3 days after weddings.
