All my guests universally appreciated the photographs Alex took during my 50th birthday celebration.

Alex has a gift for candid photography. These photos are astonishingly revealing of peoples’ characters as my guests went about enjoying themselves.

Alex also took many portraits of the guests. I am not exaggerating when I say that Alex Gilman is a Rembrandt of portrait photography! Alex makes people relax and feel comfortable. Even teenagers felt at ease and collaborated with him!

I recommend Alex Gilman wholeheartedly!

Alex was really terrific! His sense of humor and easy demeanor made what could have been a more stressful day, so much fun! He was friendly and efficient throughout, working well across the ages including all the young children in our party. Alex was organized, stayed on schedule and offered many suggestions we would not have thought of ourselves. Our pictures look great! His journalistic sense of style made for many gorgeous shots. We were able to make beautiful albums... In addition, Alex helped us frame several special photos for our home. We would work with him again in a heartbeat!

Alex is a very creative photographer from composition to photo editing. You can easily see that he is an artist and a photographer so his work turns out to be one of a kind. His easy going conversational style made entire process less stressful and easier for photographing children and teenagers. I strongly recommend Alex for various photographic venues. Thank you Alex!!

If we only had three words to describe Alex, we’d pick: friendliest, creative and most professional vendor for our entire wedding. Actually, it was our wedding anniversary, and Alex's photography let us realize the beauty and joy of our anniversary to much greater degree as compared to what we were capable to physically remember at the time of the wedding.

Alex Gilman is an amazing photographer and postproduction artist! By far one of the best decisions my wife and I made! We knew we wanted a non-traditional photo- journalistic approach and Alex Gilman didn't just deliver but also WOW'd us. His amazingly keen attention to detail makes him a true professional. But one of the most important things I can say about Alex Gilman, is that he is a pleasure to be around and work with. He simply knows and sees what needs to be done, he feels it! He captured very special moments in our wedding. His work speaks for itself!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
