Alex Maldonado Photography

Alex was terrific to work with, from concept to execution. We enjoyed our time taking photos with his expert guidance, and I am so pleased I called him for the job!

Alex has made our photoshoot experience so enriching and stress-free as he knows all the right angles, poses, and sceneries. I would 100% recommend booking with Alex, a true photography professional! Thank you, Alex!!

Alex was excellent to work with from start to finish.

I hired him to photograph my proposal at The Rookery, and he made the entire process feel organized, calm, and easy. From the first conversation, he helped think through the timing, lighting, positioning, and flow of the day in a way that made me feel fully prepared without making the moment feel overly staged.

On the day of the proposal, Alex was exactly what you want in that setting: calm, thoughtful, and easy to be around. He gave direction when we needed it, stepped back when the moment needed space, and made both of us feel comfortable even though neither of us is naturally great at posing.

The photos came out beautifully. They captured the emotion of the day while still feeling natural, elegant, and real.

I would absolutely recommend Alex to anyone planning a proposal, engagement shoot, or meaningful moment in Chicago. He is talented, professional, easy to work with, and clearly knows how to capture these moments the right way.

Alex was great! So easy to work with, and very professional, helping us a lot from planning a candid proposal, suggesting places, since we haven’t been in Chicago before!

We had an amazing experience with Alex! He was professional, easy to work with, and reliable. He really made us feel completely comfortable throughout the whole process. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful- capturing both the big moments and the small, meaningful details perfectly. We're so grateful to have these memories and we would highly recommend Alex to anyone!

We had a great experience working with Alex for our engagement photos! He made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and guided us through poses. The shoot was easy and fun! The turn around time was so fast and every picture was edited beautifully. Everyone that has looked at the photo gallery has told us how amazing our photographer was! I highly recommend Alex!

We hired Alex to take our engagement photos and we highly recommend his services! He is an amazing photographer and is really easy to work with. He was really helpful with the planning of our proposal and everything about our experience was perfect. We would not hesitate to hire him again.

I’m extremely pleased I hired his service for my elopement wedding! He captured so many beautiful photos and was both professional and punctual. He offered great suggestions for poses and knew exactly where to go for stunning backgrounds. I’m truly glad I chose to work with him—these memories will last a lifetime. Money well spent!

Alex was amazing! My fiancé planned a surprise engagement and worked very close with Alex leading up to making it so special. Our photos turned out better than I could have imagined. He also got us previews the next day and the full package back in less than a week! He not only captured the moment, my reactions but he stayed with us after to take many more photos of us to capture the evening.

Alex was outstanding to work with! He was very responsive, flexible, and helpful in coordinating the surprise for our proposal. The photos turned out great!
