Amazingly Fast, Excellent Communication

We asked Alex to do a small wedding for us outside during the pandemic in 2020. He was extremely reasonable, showed up early, communicated well before to get the logistics, was amazingly professional and got us all the pictures within ONE week of the wedding. As he was working, he gave us access to the Google Drive so we got sneak peak and he was just overall absolutely amazing.
During the photoshoot after the wedding, he made us feel comfortable, knew all the angles, was up for many of silly pics we wanted and just celebrated our day with us. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a wedding or other photographer. Couldn't praise his skills, communication, and business enough.

Book Alex Sakes!

Alex is an exceptional photographer, and working with him again for our wedding only reaffirmed that. He brings a calm, kind presence while remaining highly professional and intentional in his approach.

On our wedding day, he captured every moment with ease — from the big, emotional highlights to the quieter, meaningful details in between.

When we received our photos, we were truly impressed. They are not only beautiful, but they genuinely reflect the feeling of the day. Alex has a remarkable gift, and we’re so grateful we had the opportunity to work with him again. We would recommend him without hesitation.

Engaging, Candid, & An Excellent Vendor Friend

We worked with Alex this year on a wedding earlier in April. He is very engaging with the couple and so professional. His images are great and perfect for a couple looking for moody lighting and candid shots!

If looking for a photographer, we definitely recommend Alex :)

A wonderful experience!

Punctuality and professionalism are two of Alex's greatest qualities - besides the quality of his photos, of course! We absolutely loved working with him, and were very pleased with the photos we got back from our shoot. All of them were edited with great care and skill, and now we have plenty of memories that will last us a lifetime. You will NOT regret hiring Alex!

Super awesome

Alex was awesome. Super responsive. Took great photos. We still have the photo book sitting on our coffee table and everyone raves about it. I hope I don’t need to get married again, but if I do, I already have my photographer lined up.

Great Job at a Great Value

Alex and Joemmel did a great job capturing our special day! They went to the venue prior to the wedding and figured out where all of the best places were to take our photos. They were professional and the price was right!
