Alex photographed my December 2019 wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how our photographs turned out! I hate pictures, am super awkward, and really dreaded knowing I had to be the center of attention on my day but Alex made me feel so comfortable. In all the special important moments she was able to capture our emotions perfectly and I honestly never even noticed she was there. She was so inconspicuous, professional, and easy to work with. Her second shooter Jared was also the BEST. I couldn’t recommend them enough! Best decision I made was hiring Alex!

I am so happy to have found Alex for my upcoming wedding. I had a specific style in mind and it was hard to find a photographer that captured it outside off the West Coast. Alex was also super kind about all the COVID 19 issues. We had originally chosen a package that included 10 hours of coverage, and she was flexible enough to include 2 additional hours of wedding day coverage in lieu of an engagement session since we were having an all day fusion wedding. Once COVID hit, we were very concerned about our fall wedding since we had so many guests traveling and we made the call to postpone much earlier than most people did for our timeframe. Alex was really sweet when it came to the non-refundable deposit and allowed us to do an adventure shoot + family photos on our original wedding date and sent us a beautiful album with our pictures instead of letting the deposit go to waste! The pictures came out beautifully and I am so excited to have them printed around our home. I cannot wait for our wedding this fall and I am sure the pictures will be even better!!

Wedding plans sure were not what were expected for the 2020 bride. Alex was SO kind. She came alongside and helped us understand our options, and even made exceptions to her contract such as allowing us to choose a reschedule date within a certain time of the original contracted date without a new deposit. She helped us navigate understand how to handle other vendors when we had questions as well.

This is a difficult time, but we felt a real, human connection with Alex. She clearly cared about us and did all she could to make us feel valued and cared for during this time. I would recommend Alex to ANYONE. She is all I dreamed and hoped for in a wedding photographer!

We couldn't be happier with how the photos have turned out so far! Alex was very receptive to the elements we really wanted captured and made sure we got all the photos we wanted.

Alex (and her husband) are awesome! The photos are stunning and we feel so grateful to have had Alex capture our special moments. From our engagement shoot to our wedding day, Alex gave us the perfect direction while allowing us to be ourselves!

I have dreamt about having Alex Mari as our wedding photographer since before I was engaged. I've been obsessed with her work. But SO NOT WORTH IT. If you're here trying to decide whether or not to go with her and make the investment, please listen to me and don't.

With everything going on in the world with COVID-19, we made the decision to move the wedding a bit sooner with less than 10 people, then have a big reception in the fall when hopefully this all passes. We tried speaking with her about splitting up the 5 hour minimum due to this very strange split. She refused to compromised and cancelled on our small intimate wedding of 8 due to "grey areas" in the laws. Which hit hard and I thought was normal but then realized most other photographers were still carrying out a service with caution. And we had to scramble and get another photographer with 4 days until our vows. Additionally, she didn't have the heart to give any of our deposit back because "this time is very hard on my business".

What showed through was her selfishness and the focus she had on HER business and herself. Which is fine. But there's no empathy . My view is people come first. For her, that is most clearly not her philosophy.
