What our clients say
“I studied photography in college and have shot a few hundred weddings myself, and I tend to be picky about technical aspects of photography. Alex’s ability far surpasses that of any other professional I researched or considered. He improvises, executes and achieves complex and compelling shots that require some incredible technical skills, all on the fly, all on Manual mode. His education shows, but he’s also clearly a natural at what he’s doing.”
Brenda.P
“Alex’s visions captured our authentic love for one another more than we imagined. Our photographs are beautiful and tasteful, illustrating the many blessings of our special day. Alex first captured our attention with his photography, and our comfort continued through his professionalism. We met with other wedding photographers, and they were not the same. Alex is diligent, an effective and punctual communicator, and strives to do the best work possible.”
Cole Nevel
“Alex was an absolute joy to work with—always communicative, quick to respond, and flexible.
Dannielle Donnely
On our wedding day, he captured every moment beautifully, from the big moments to the smallest details and everything in between. Now looking at his photographs it feels like we’re back at Nicollet Island Pavilion reliving our perfect day!
What really stood out to us was Alex’s professionalism and expertise. He worked easily with our coordinator and content creation team and knew exactly how to guide us, make us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and ensure everything ran smoothly.”
FAQs
Travel
We include the 90-mile Radius around Rochester, MN. This includes the Twin Cities. Extra miles are charged in addition. Weddings for away (ex, North Shore) require accommodation and meals.
We are happy to travel to wedding destinations. So if you are planning a wedding in Mexico, Hawaï, let us know!
Discount
I am proud to support the military, law enforcement, and firefighters. That’s why I am happy to offer a $200 discount on all packages. The only condition is that you must be proudly wearing your uniform.
Off-season & Weekday: Wedding Rates are 10% (from November to March for off-season and from Monday through Thursday for weekdays).
Negotiate the Price?
My prices are already fairly calculated. Unless you have the deal of the year, I usually don’t negotiate prices. I am proud to offer you a high-quality service at a better price. Quality means time and know-how; time means money. Quality costs, but it is an investment in the future. Each time you take your album, you will remember each detail of this day, every little moment, and every guest. Your album is designed to go through centuries.
As the proverb runs: buy quality and cry once; buy cheap and cry forever.
What do you pay for
You don’t only pay for the time I come to take pictures; you pay for a High-Quality Service. That includes a guarantee of amazing pictures and peace of mind. Moreover, these are memories that you will keep for all your life- pictures that could not be done again! These are not just pictures that everyone can do.
Besides that, you have all my years of experience; I will support you before and after the wedding. I will edit, retouch, back-up images, design your album and your thank-you card, and create your web gallery. You have the assurance of a very good service with only good surprises. For more details, you can read the F.A.Q. and About.
We are afraid we cannot afford your services…
I am very conscious that my prices could be considered a huge investment for most of us! Especially today, when everyone has a digital camera and feels that photography costs nothing.
Well, everyone now can afford pencils and paper, but it does not mean that everyone is a good writer.
There are some options:
Custome Quote
I always meet my customers. Indeed, speaking together allows me to get to know you and understand your real needs. So I can arrange an all-inclusive package. I can add some additional options or reduce to the essentials. For example, if your budget is very short, you can consider planning your wedding album later.
I will be happy to offer you a tailor-made price for the tailor-made service that you need.
Payment in Several Installments
Under some conditions, I do accept payment several times without any supplemental charge.
