Highly Recommend!

I cannot recommend Alex and Jana Photography enough. We worked closely with Alex, who is incredibly professional, communicative, and really put us at ease through the whole process. On our wedding day, Alex and Toby made us feel so calm and my husband and I ended up having such a blast taking photos (which was a surprise to us both, since we are not normally comfortable at all in front of the camera). We just got our sneak peaks back after less than two weeks after the wedding, and are absolutely blown away by the shots that they captured. Truly could not have picked a better photographer for our big day!!

Stunning images, incredibly fun!

Jana is a brilliant photographer with a joyous personality that can bring out the charisma in anyone. She will make your shoot fun, authentic, and the photos will be breathtaking. You won't want it to end!

We had opted for a public beach for our engagement photos, and we were initially shy, but Jana has a way about her that immediately put us at ease, and we had a incredibly fun shoot that resulted in photos we absolutely adore. She is so optimistic, energetic, excited, she makes it impossible not to have a great time, and then she captures that fun on camera.

She is also an absolute professional and collaborative partner throughout the entire process, from initial conversations, through our engagement photo session, planning the wedding photos, and of course the day itself. She was just as brilliant with large groups, organizing bodies, as she was with just the two of us. Several of our family and friends also commented on how great she was.

And to top it all off, the photos are absolutely GORGEOUS.

If you want someone whose energy adds to the day without distracting, who feels like part of the family, and yet can blend into the background, then Jana is your person.

We would hire her again, and again, and again!

Best Photographer Ever

Our dream photos come TRUE!!! I can’t express how much I love Alex’s work. Photography was one of the very first vendors I began researching after getting engaged because I am very picky about style, color, and capturing great candid moments. When I happened upon Alex and Jana’s profile on Instagram it was love at first sight. I remember getting butterflies as soon as I saw Alex’s reply to my initial inquiry email. My husband and I reached out to other photographers too and kept finding ourselves comparing each of them to Alex & Jana. They were our gold standard. Platinum standard! Booking with Alex was a decision we were totally confident in.
Then, when our engagement shoot took place we felt so comfortable with him. He really made the experience not feel awkward at all. The photos arrived just 2 weeks later and they were JAWDROPPING. Alex’s talent is immeasurable. The location (which he suggested) was stunning but the results were even better than we imagined. And he captured our love for each other so beautifully.
Finally, the wedding day arrived and he was just as lovely as ever. My whole bridal party appreciated his presence and we kept EXACTLY to the timeline. And, my goodness, did the wedding album not disappoint. I’ll say it a million times. They were our DREAM COME TRUE. Every picture is beautiful and sentimental and he captured all of our guests’ joy. I can’t say enough about him. He was the vendor we were most confident about and he STILL exceeded expectations. Thank you so much Alex!!!!

Beautiful Photos and the Kindest Team

We had the absolute pleasure of having Jana photograph our engagement shoot and our wedding. Our engagement photos were just beyond gorgeous! Truly so beautiful. Jana was also so kind and made us both feel very comfortable in front of the camera as it was our first time being professionally photographed together. Through the whole lead up to our wedding, my husband and I kept saying how glad we were that Jana was going to be our photographer. She was also so responsive and helpful, and answered any question we had quickly. She even referred us to the wedding coordinator we ended up getting to work with! On the day of our wedding, I was feeling pretty stressed and anxious when I arrived to the venue. Jana was already there and greeted me with a huge smile, and her kindness and positivity helped put me at ease. In addition to being incredibly talented, Jana is a wonderfully kind person who added so much joy to our entire wedding day. Friends and family kept coming up to us to comment on how much they loved her energy! We received our wedding photo preview shortly after our day, and I cannot even begin to describe how STUNNING every single photo is. From the details photos, to our first look, to our formal photos with family and the bridal party, to all our romantic couples shots, there is truly not a bad photo in the bunch. I don't even know how we can possibly select which ones to go on our walls...and this is just from the sneak peek!! If you are looking for a photography team that will not only deliver the most gorgeous photos of your wedding but also enhance your day with joy and laughs, Alex and Jana are absolutely for you.

Simply the best!

Long overdue review! We had the pleasure of having Alex & Jana photograph our wedding in October and we could not be happier with our decision. I reached out to them with an online inquiry and they got back with me immediately. From the get go, the process was SO seamless. We purchased a package that included an engagement shoot (which I highly recommend so you can get comfortable with your photographer before your wedding day!!) We wanted to do our engagement shoot in our home and Alex arrived prepared with all the equipment and fun ideas for photos. Alex made my husband and I feel SO comfortable - he is so calm, professional, funny, and friendly. We absolutely LOVED how our engagement photos came out, so we were totally confident when our wedding day came around.

Fast forward to our wedding day, Alex arrived at the hotel I was getting ready at. Alex was SUPER organized, on schedule, and managed to get a ton of great shots in the midst of the morning-of madness (brides, you know how that is!). Throughout our entire wedding day, Alex kept everyone organized, gave clear instructions, and helped the day run SO smoothly. He even managed to get a ton of photos of the decor and all of our guests, which I so appreciated!

When we got our wedding photos back, we were amazed. From prewedding, to first look, to the ceremony, to the reception, Alex managed to get SO MANY great shots. We are forever grateful for the amazing work Alex & Jana did to make our wedding day so special. We will truly cherish these photos for the rest of our lives. THANK YOU BOTH SO MUCH!!!

Beautiful photos!

Jana is wonderful! We had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement shoot and wedding day. We were a little nervous at first for our engagement shoot but Jana is so sweet and made us feel comfortable. Once it came to wedding day, it felt so easy! Our photos turned out beautiful. Jana really captured all of the emotions of the day and the special moments. We will definitely cherish these photos. Thank you so much Jana!

Absolutely amazing

We worked with Alex for our engagement and wedding photos and he was absolutely amazing. We must have interviewed 5 or 6 photographers, Alex being the last, and connected immediately. The search was finally over! Notably, while I listed the US as the location so local clients can find him, we actually flew him down to Cabo, MX for the wedding.

He was fun yet professional, a hard thing to do, and always quick to respond. And, was also patient with us and our very old dog during the engagement session. Then, leading up to the wedding asked for a few prep calls to ensure we had the important moments and photos in mind, connected on the timeline, and everything needed to ensure a flawless day of pictures.


As much as we wanted him to capture our important moments, we also did not want to be the only photos in the album. With 60 guests at a Cabo resort and a beach wedding, we wanted the photos to allow us to see all the moments we missed with our guests while we were busy catching up with people. Almost every guest is captured in a number of action shots with funny moments, odd dance moves to make us laugh, and other couples enjoying a dance together. We get to see our guests enjoying the day too! He was also sure to capture the little things: Wedding dress before the bride put it on, wedding rings together with a wedding invitation, the ceremony and receptions areas before guests arrive, the party favors, the decorations, and everything we could need to remember the full day in the future.

Among all the positives above, possibly my favorite thing is that he fit in well with our friends. Had Alex put the camera down and grabbed a beer he would have fit right in (we were honestly a little sad he didn't for 15 minutes or so, just to take a break and enjoy himself...again, truly professional.) He is always smiling, positive energy, and just laughed when we said something that probably should have been obvious.

Last, but one of the most important. Turnaround time and quality of photos.

Alex was up front that the turnaround time is not short. Editing takes time, and he takes a TON of shots. Alex had about 40 edited and beautiful photos to us within the first week, also being some of the most important, which was perfect so we could use one for our thank you cards. We knew it would take around 2 months for the rest, and at the 2 month mark we received a link to download more than 600 amazing and edited, high resolution photos. Noting, I said "download". While there is an option for a flash drive, we use Google and Amazon photos, so downloading to these services was perfect for us. There is an option for all guests to do the same as well, though we shared the Google album with them, and directed them to Alex's portal if they wanted to buy canvas prints, etc. Like I said, there were amazing shots of our guests as well (at least one is already using for his new professional headshot).

We could not have been happier with our experience with Alex. A wedding is a day we hope only happens once, and that usually means the couple has no idea what to expect...first time rookies. Alex made it so easy for us.

We could not give a higher recommendation. pThank you so much Alex! Please use our gallery as you see fit, and don't hesitate to use us as a reference.

A team beyond the photos

It is really hard to find the words to sum up how grateful we are for choosing Alex and Jana photography team to shoot the biggest day of our lives! We had the pleasure of having Jana and Christine shoot our day and they were a constant source of joy, calm, and laughter. I laughed a LOT with Jana and Christine and have very fond memories throughout the day that I will cherish.

Not only are they an extremely talented team, but they are there for you as a couple and genuinely want you to have a great day beyond the photos. I distinctly remember Jana telling me to take a breath and enjoy after the ceremony / family photos.. it was a much needed reminder and a distinct shift from feeling a bit overwhelmed to calm & joy.

Selecting a photographer is one of the most important & tangible ways a couple & family remember a wedding day. I can gratefully & confidently say Alex and Jana Photography was the best decision for us and hope future couples know they are in great hands with their team.

100% Recommend

We are so thrilled with the amazing moments that Jana captured of our wedding day! Jana was very communicative and collaborative throughout the entire planning process. Our phone call with her in the beginning was super helpful to ensure that we were on the same page. She captured beautiful photos of the wedding party getting ready, shots of the venue, detail photos of the dresses/accessories, family photos, and ceremony/reception events. We could not ask for more as Jana truly delivered. It's time to get these gorgeous photos printed. Thank you Jana! :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

Had the pleasure of working with Alex Bruce Photography recently and I have to say he is an absolute pro with a great eye for capturing just the right shot. Very creative and flexible. As a Pro DJ, it often falls on me to be the default coordinator and I count on photographers to be open to last minute changes that often occur and Alex is every bit the professional. I really appreciated him being open to allowing the bride into the DJ area for some really unique pics. I'm proud to recommend Alex Bruce Photography and look for to working together again.
