    best photographer, best human

    Alex is the most special photographer and human being. Please give yourself a gift and work with him. He is extremely detail-oriented, always punctual and prepared, has a true artist’s eye, and goes above and beyond every step of the way. He is kind, he is funny, he is smart, he is caring, and he is always down for an adventure. As a person who is admittedly a huge perfectionist, and a visual artist myself, trusting instead of micromanaging is not my strong suit. But we had FULL trust in Alex, right from the start. And sure enough, our photos exceeded our expectations. He not only captured the way our wedding looked, but also how it felt. As our mother said to Alex after our wedding, “Alex, you’re so gifted. You captured things I would have never seen if not for your incredible eye. The day flew by but you gave it to us to relive forever. Beautiful photographer, beautiful person, beautiful experience. Thank you from us all.” We love Alex, and can say from the bottom of our hearts that he feels like family to us. And our whole extended family fell in love with him, too. We hope to keep working with him for years to come. We can’t imagine a better friend or artist to be by our side and to capture our most precious moments as we move through life. Thank you a million times over, Alex, for sharing your immense talent with us! And for sharing your huge heart with us, too! We adore you!

    Haley + Matt

    The best photographer in the area!!

    Alex was recommended to me by a close friend. I have thanked her so many times since because our wedding album is out of this world! Alex was so calm and organized to work with as well as being personable but also keeping things perfectly on time the whole day!! We literally cannot stop looking at our wedding album and are so excited to order prints. EVERYONE who has seen the album has told me I had a phenomenal photographer!
    There was a moment when we were about to go into the venue and do DJ introductions and first dance and I remember I looked out over the hills and the sun came out and it was like the perfect golden hour moment and I was thinking to myself ‘oh wow that’s such pretty light I wish we could take some more pictures now’ and I turned around and Alex was RUNNING toward me and my husband with the exact same thought and we delayed introductions for a few minutes and snuck away for a few shots in the light. Those pictures came out breathtaking and are some of our favorites!!!
    I would recommend Alex to anyone!

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much, Rachel! We enjoyed capturing your special day and love the photos too. Hope to see you and Mateo again sometime.

    Stunned beyond belief! Hire alex now.

    To say we were impressed by Alex's work at our wedding is the understatement of the year. I was incredibly anxious about finding the right person to capture the look and feel I wanted in terms of compositions, color, etc., and, in fact, we had originally hired a different photographer but decided after 6 months it wasn't going to be the right fit. It was terrifying to risk making a switch, but finding Alex was a blessing beyond words. Our two conversations by Zoom and Alex's prompt responses to my emails gave me faith in his professionalism, but I had no idea how blown away we would be with the event itself. He and his second photographer traveled up to our venue in Maine, and my only regret is that we didn't hire him for more hours and for our rehearsal dinner as well. Otherwise, I would give him a 20-star rating if I could. Alex and his second were upbeat, funny, gentle, unassuming, kind, and just a delightful presence to be around for the entire day. Guests and wedding party folk alike have commented how wonderful he was to work with during formal pics, and then how unobtrusive during the ceremony and reception. Alex was present but not, in the best ways, and you could see his eye constantly on the alert for that next great artistic shot, yet he was always available for us to pull him aside for a select group photo. My partner hates being photographed, and Alex even put him at ease, never mind the fact that he corralled our 3-year-old to keep going after she was utterly pooped out. I knew after just 20 minutes of him being there that I would completely trust Alex for the day, and that made everything so much more enjoyable and allowed me to relax after all the months of planning and anticipation. Alex made us all feel light and easy, and he kept everything and everyone on task and on time. ONLY 48 hours later he returned a preview gallery to us with 100 photos!!! They are *beyond* stunning, and EXACTLY what I was hoping for. Every image is perfect and precious, capturing the tiniest details as well as the most dramatic expansive landscapes. The pictures with our daughter in it keep taking my breath away, and I can't stop looking at them all and swooning. Best of all, our family members are thrilled to see professional shots while they are still riding high on the wave of excitement from the event itself. We have complete faith that we will be equally blown away by the full gallery in a few weeks. Alex truly made our wedding the incredible event that it was, and I will be forever grateful.

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Talia,
    Thank you for such a review. So inspiring! We were happy to become a part of your special day. I am thankful for such an opportunity to capture your story and create unforgettable memories for you and your loved ones. Thank you for choosing us, hope to photograph your family in the future.

    Creme de la creme!

    Could not wait to write this review! The first contact was a phone call, and even though we weren’t sure about location of wedding, or date, Alex spoke to me at length about how this would work. He answered every single crazy question I had with the patience of an angel. I could sense his sensitivity, his creativity but, most of all, how much he cares. Once we settled on date and location I immediately, without interviewing anyone else, emailed him and we zoomed. So kind, respectful, attentive, flexible, knowledgeable, supportive and very funny.
    The big day came and the second I met him I was laughing and was so happy to see him. He knew who was who in the wedding party, he came early to scout the venue, and was super generous of his energy and his time. Meanwhile the same night he sent us a lot of our pics! So, you can add hard-working and efficient to the list of his qualities…He even found us our videographer! Planning a wedding is rough frankly (or at least for me, I did not care much for planning an event this size) but with Alex by your side you’ll be golden! The pics came out stunning, just stunning work of art! Thank you Alex, you are a gem and an artist with the best soul! Hope to see you soon

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Dear Lior, Thank you so much for such feedback. I truly enjoyed each minute of your wedding day. Thanks for choosing me! Hope to capture the next important chapters of your lives.

    Our Wedding Dreams Came True --- Thanks to this exceptional, detailed and kind photographer

    I don't know where to begin other than to say that Alex captured our wedding day better than our wildest dreams! He listened to all of our specific detailed shots, pre-planned and checked in with us ahead of time, reviewed every element of the shoot and ensured that nothing was left behind. I run a photography division for a media company and he is among the finest photographers I've worked with in the industry. One of the best things about Alex is that he was able to capture incredible moments while also working quietly in the background, directing and corralling a 15+ person wedding party with ease.
    He always made us feel completely comfortable and relaxed and was worth EVERY penny to capture the best day of our lives. He was recommended to us by our dear friends as he had shot their wedding in the Summer. The best kinds of referrals are from brides that have been through the wedding process and she was 100% right about hiring Alex. We loved working with him. Run, don't walk to Alex Gordias Photography for your wedding and future family shoots. We plan to!

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Thank you so much! We truly enjoyed capturing your special day. That was great. We had a fantastic experience.

    Small outdoor/Barn wedding- Artfully captured

    I can not say enough about Alex, he was so professional, flexible, organized and kind. We had a small (36 guests) outdoor ceremony with barn reception and he made us feel so special and taken care of. He is so thoughtful about the entire process and was so good at keeping the day on schedule. I had the pleasure of working with his wife, Vera Gordias, as my hair and make-up stylist. the two worked so well together and it made me feel like we were on a high profile fashion shoot. You can tell that photography is truly an ART to Alex and it was so fun to watch him work and become inspired in the moment. All of that was BEFORE we saw the photos; they are truly breathtaking and I couldn't be more please with our choice. Thank you Alex and Vera for helping us preserve our special day forever.

    Thank you so much! We truly enjoyed working with you and spending the special day all together. That was great. We had a wonderful experience.

    Exceptional photographer

    Alex is amazing! He has an exceptional eye to capture beauty at every moment. He is creatively inspired, incredibly hard-working, and up for even the greatest photo-op challenges. Alex initially worked with us to create a high-fashion engagement shoot that required 3 DIFFERENT locations, outfit changes, and vibes. He worked efficiently, coordinated the day perfectly, and was up for the challenge, despite the fact that it required him to go into the ocean with his clothes on to photograph some of the shots we wanted, despite it only being 43 degrees outside in Boston!! He did it, and he did with passion! The photos he captured were breath-taking and speak for themselves!

    We also retained Alex's expertise to photograph our recent wedding. We wanted a more elegant photographic journalism style for our day with a focus on romance and detail. He provided us with exactly the vision we wanted for that occasion as well. Alex listens to his clients and is able to deliver essentially anything you want with absolute perfection, PLUS MORE! It is hard to put into words the way his photographs capture the moment. He is well connected, reliable, and honestly, he is fun! It is very important to work with a photographer that makes you feel comfortable, Alex is definitely that photographer.

    Alex is especially efficient as well. His turnaround time for the sneak peek for our wedding was 24hrs!!! I couldn't believe it. Our complete album was ready to view within a few short weeks----this is unheard of in the world of wedding photography, seriously! Our wedding day was very windy, and when I asked to have a few stray hairs photoshopped out, Alex made those arrangements immediately. He genuinely desires to make sure his clients are 100% happy, and he is incredibly passionate about his craft---this is what sets Alex apart from other photographers. Alex was more than worth the fee we paid for his services, and we feel so blessed to have connected with him for our special day. Alex will forever be our go-to photographer for all of life's special occasions moving forward.

    Phenomenal photographer!

    Absolutely amazing!! Alex was so kind and warm, while at the same time professional and focused. He was excellent at communicating and being responsive leading up to our wedding day. I had complete trust that he was going to capture some amazing images, and he absolutely did! My bridesmaids, mom, and now-husband still talk about him, and what a great job he did. He is also multi-talented: when my hair and veil were coming loose during windy beach pictures, he was like "give me some bobby pins" and fixed my entire hairdo and veil on the spot! It was so funny and amazing. We loved him!! And the pictures--SWOON!!! Hire him!!!

    Absolutely magical photos and wonderful, fun photo shoot experience!

    I cried with joy in the middle of the office when we received our engagement photos from Alex Gordias. I didn't know what to expect, but the quality, volume, creativity, authenticity, and tenderness that he captured for us is completely unmatched. We were on the fence about engagement photos because we're on a tight budget, but when we realized we had nothing decent to put on the website, we went for it. AND IT WAS SO WORTH IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! On a mid-November Saturday afternoon in Boston, Alex somehow captured us in summer, fall and winter colors out by the Charles River in a wooded area with a bridge. He was engaging, experimental, creative, and enthusiastic. He strategically maneuvered around us to capture the best angles and light. He balanced positioning us and letting us just be our goofy selves. And then he had the completely brilliant idea to head to Starbucks and shoot us talking and drinking coffee out of Christmas cups through the window! Our photos are like scenes out of a movie, except I can't believe the movie is my life. I simply can't wait to see how he shoots our wedding.

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Leah, I can't wait for your wedding. Thank you for the excellent photo session time and inspiration!

    Best experience we could wish for

    Finding the right person to shoot our wedding was one of the most important aspects of our planning process and I cannot recommend Alex enough. His work exceeded our expectations and dreams! We loved working with him as he made sure the process goes smoothly and we feel comfortable. Alex is talented, patient, professional and most importantly passionate about his job. He was able to capture some of the most amazing shots without being noticed, which is exactly what we wanted for our wedding. Alex went above and beyond to make sure we have the most beautiful pictures from such and important day in our life. He strives to deliver a truly customized experience for his clients, which makes him stand out as a photographer. If you’re looking for someone special to capture your wedding day, look no further!

    Guys, you are fantastic, and I am so proud to be your family photographer. Can't wait for our next session!

    The photo session of our dream)

    My husband and I were very pleased with the experience of working with Alex Gordias. The photographer and his assistant were so friendly and professional throughout the entire process. They captured the best and most beautiful moments of our wedding for us. The first pictures were sent in a few days and we were really impressed by the service. We recommended Alex Gordias to all our friends.

    Highly recommend Alex Gordias: The difference in the professional and non-professional photo is dramatic and you would never repeat this event!

    We've made a wedding photo session with Alex and I should confess that it was the right choice! Alex is an amazing photographer - he feels and catches moments which are not only beautiful but also convey the atmosphere of the event. We’ve got perfectly beautiful and lively photos. There are special moments in life, you would like to keep forever, which you would like to share with your kids and grand-kids one day. The wedding is one of such remarkable moments and believe me it is better to trust the capture of this event to professionals because the difference in the professional and non-professional photo is dramatic and you would never repeat this event.

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    Maria, thank you for being so fabulous on that day. Hope to make one more session for you and your family next time.

    Great photographer!

    Alex is a wonderful photographer! He was able to capture amazing photographs of our wedding a few years ago. He was punctual, professional, thorough and patient. Alex made the photo shoot fun and easy for us! He was able to truly capture each moment! Since all of the photographs were fantastic, it was hard for us to even pick which ones we wanted to frame. Overall, Alex is an *exceptional* photographer and I highly recommend him!

    Alex Gordias Photography's reply:

    I am proud to be your destination photographer and so thankful for the Europian wedding day memories.
