  Alex has been our family photographer for 3 years now! I first met him taking pictures for T-Ball baseball team. He knows what he is doing! From the action shots to the composition of each photo, Alex's photos communicates an emotion and captures the moment. In our yearly family photo sessions, he makes us comfortable and gets the right positions for the perfect shot.

  I originally met the photographer, Alex, a few years back when I hired him to photograph one of my aircraft that was for sale. When I planned for a photographer for my wedding this year, I originally went with someone else, but that "professional" photographer was.... well, not so pleasant to deal with. I needed someone else and I remembered Alex. I had lost his contact info, but got lucky in a google search. I made contact with Alex, who was very easy to deal with and a surprisingly patient guy (sorry for all the questions Alex). Surprisingly, he was totally open to allowing me to fly him to our venue 800 miles away. Alex showed up with a million bags full of gadgets and equipment and the wedding / photoshoot went off without a hitch. Upon my return from the honeymoon, I had a disc with all of the wedding photos in the mail box. I expected just a disc in an envelope, but it was surprisingly ornate - pretty neat! I later ended up ordering a few images we especially liked on metallic and canvas prints for our home. I had an outstanding experience!

  Alex is an amazing photographer and made our big day so special. He worked with us and helped us get photos I never would have thought of. He was extremely patient and captured our memories beautifully. I will and have recommended Alex to anyone needing photos and not just for weddings! You will not be disappointed!

  We had such a great experience with Alex for our wedding photos. He really took the time to get to know us and what we were looking for. He made good suggestions while still keeping to what we had envisioned. Alex made us feel comfortable from the very beginning and made the whole experience fun and enjoyable. The quality of our photos are excellent and his attention to detail and customer satisfaction is outstanding. I highly recommend Alex for any type of photo session and will definitely use him again!

  Alex did our engagement photos in San Diego, where he helped me orchestrate a surprise photoshoot for my fiance, allowing me to catch the exact moment of realization of the proposal! He was extremely helpful in picking out a location for the "big moment" and his advice on how to handle the session was excellent! (We had a code word so he could distract her while I pulled out the box). The pictures are of exceptional quality, and I cannot recommend him highly enough!

  Hands down the best decision made having Alex Calegari photography memorialize our special day with breathtaking photos. Not only are his photos taken artistically, he does not miss one beat of the party. It's great to look back on our wedding day through the hundreds of photos that we now have.
  
  Also would like to mention the compatabilty of working with Alex. He's a great shooter that really makes taking photos fun and easy. His expertise and clear direction makes taking photos a breeze (something my husband and I usually hate doing).

  Alex was absolutely amazing. It was extremely last minute that my boyfriend (at the time ;)) needed a replacement photography ON THE MORNING of his proposal to me! My mother secretly assisted him in finding Alex! He was so professional, prompt, and helpful! He had the pictures to us in a couple of days (AMAZING turn around time) and he caught the most vivid and beautiful images!
  
  His skill captured the most amazing moment, my new fiancé's proposal! He despite a last minute switch, Alex was up for the job and responded SO quick with an enthusiastic YES!

  Alex was a lifesaver! We had our engagement pictures taken by Alex Calegari Photography. We contacted them and received an email with a few options times to pick from- I appreciated that the options helped minimize the back and forth craziness that happens with planning any wedding.
  
  We met him at a beach in San Diego just before sunset. Alex was on time (actually i have to confess, he was there before us!) I was worried that he didn't get enough pictures in the hour we arranged. Wrong! We had so many great pictures that he emailed, it was hard to choose. The lighting was gorgeous and I absolutely love all of the colors that he captured with his camera. The pictures were emailed quickly, too!!! Overall, I loved his quick response on everything.
  
  I have to say my only regret is that I didn't ask to fly him down to Puerto Vallarta for our Destination Wedding. Paying for his flight and hotel would have ultimately been less expensive than what the "inclusive photographer" ended up being at Secrets Resorts. The quality would have been predictably good, too. As opposed to who knows what photographer you will get? Anyone can show you a book and claim they took the pictures. Some of our wedding pictures from the onsite hotel photography studio looked like I handed the camera to one of our guests! Even the simple lighting at night was completely off and too dark to really print. It's better to go with a fabulous photographer that will capture great pictures on your special day. Thankfully, we had beautiful engagement pictures to frame at home.

  Alex Calegari photography came to Maine for a destination wedding for my son and daughter in law. He made sure the bride had a check list prepared ahead of time of the photos she wanted him to take. Alex was easy to work with and always made sure he was getting the best shot. His dedication and professionalism showed up in the photos and made the special day even more beautiful.

  Hi Tara,
  Thank you so much for taking the time to give us a review. I hope that you guys are staying warm as possible in Maine. The weatherman says that it's pretty cold. It was beautiful when I was back for the wedding! Thank you again!

  This review is WAY overdue, but... Alex photographed our wedding way back in 2013, as well as our engagement photo shoot the year before. He was an absolute pro, excellent to work with, very skilled, and very accommodating of anything we asked. We would, and will, recommend him to anyone in need of quality photography for their weddings or events.

  Alex is one of the best photographers in San Diego. He is thoughtful, professional, and his results are amazing. He has an ability to tell a story through his photos.

  Alex is amazing! We've used him every year for our family portrait and pictures. He is detailed, precise, fun, and makes my five year old very comfortable (who is quite shy). We love working with him and wouldn't choose anyone else. We even drive from OC to San Diego just for his shots.
