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! -

Kathryn Sent on 08/19/2025Amazing Photographer!
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 Maldonado Photography's reply:
Thanks Kathryn! It was my pleasure to help make your proposal perfect! Glad you guys had a great time working together and while taking photos, you guys are the best! -

Matt Sent on 10/21/2024Perfect Proposal Photos
I reached out to Alex for a surprise proposal in Chicago and I couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the start he was extremely helpful in coordinating all the moving parts and made sure everything went smoothly. Our proposal was on a yacht and since it was a surprise he pretended to be a member of the crew onboard, fooled my fiance and everyone else.
The photos were absolutely stunning, Alex was able to capture every moment and mixed candids in with great poses. We were blown away at how fast we got some highlights and the quality was great. We hired Alex on for a little longer and he was able to take photos of the afterparty.
Overall, Alex made our special day so much better and made a huge difference in how we will always be able to remember that day. A complete seamless experience and highly recommend booking him!!Alex Maldonado Photography's reply:
Hey Matt, thank you for the review! So happy that everything was easy from start to finish! You two were amazing and the photos came out even better. I'm honord to have been trusted with your big moment! Thanks again. -

Absolutely Amazing
Alex perfectly captured our special moment! He made the process feel so natural, and the photos came out absolutely amazing. Low-light and unpredictable weather conditions are tricky to navigate, and not only did Alex take beautiful photos, but he also worked with my fiancé to ensure the engagement was a complete surprise. Thank you again Alex!Alex Maldonado Photography's reply:
Thank you Nadia for the kind words! You two were seriously so sweet and I'm so happy to have helped make your proposal one to remember! -

Alex is the absolute best!
ALEX IS THE ABSOLUTE BEST! We can't thank Alex enough for killing it with our wedding photos. Alex also gives you great direction with body movements, poses, lighting, and really with everything. My body movement is very awkward and he helped me feel relaxed and confident with creating these photos and making it a happy experience start to finish. He is supportive in the photos you want to take and he works his magic for the best outcome. Once we saw our photos, we cried out of joy. He really captured our love. The guy knows what he is doing! Thank you again Alex!!Alex Maldonado Photography's reply:
Thank you Lauren for you review! I'm so happy you guys had a great time and experience together! We absolutely got soooo soo many great photos! Congrats again to you two! -
