    Couldn't ask for a better photographer

    My husband and I wanted to have a small wedding low key at city hall but I wanted to find an amazing photographer that could capture the beauty of city hall in our photos. After hours of researching, I found RedSphere Studio’s and knew they had to photograph our wedding. Alex was quick with his communication and I knew he would be great to work with and I was so right.

    The day of the wedding went very smoothly and both Alex and Anastasia were so easy and pleasant to work with. When we got the preview of the photos back, I was so excited to see how they capture everything I wanted at city hall in our photos. Alex and Anastasia also did an amazing job of capturing or twins, they looked beautiful. Our photography enthusiast friends commented on how every single photo was flawless from a technical perspective and we had so many beautiful photos from this that we had a hard time choosing which ones would go up on our walls. I highly recommend using RedSphere as they were highly professional and easy to work with. The photographs say it all.

    Magical Shots

    I first want to mention that my fiancé is experienced in photography, which meant that finding a photographer for our engagement shoot that was up to his standards was a challenge. We were immediately drawn to Alex’s unique style and attention to lighting. Alex and Anastasia made us look absolutely magical despite being outdoors in frigid temperatures. Alex was able to beautifully capture our beauty while doing justice to our surroundings. We wanted some specific shots and a shorter package and he was very accommodating and even got us our photos within a week despite the holidays.

    One of the best decisions!

    Working with RedSphere Studio (Alex + Anastasia) is one of the best decisions we’ve made for our wedding in Stanford Memorial Church + The Ritz-Carlton, Half Moon Bay.

    We first got to know RedSphere Studio by reference from Stanford Memorial Church as one of the several studios that had photographed there for weddings. I compared many photographers with him. Alex’s unique style stand out. He uses color and light brilliantly, and he is great at catching emotional moments. Then we contacted Alex and started our business with them.

    When we worked with Alex and Anastasia, we found them very easy to work with and very responsible. They stayed more than 12 hours for our long and multi-location wedding and actively took photos from start to end. Our wedding day had an extremely tight schedule since we have three locations to take photos and commute between half moon bay and Stanford, and having Alex was a great relief. He managed our busy timeline with his professionalism and efficiency, and made it possible for us to go to multiple spots and took photos that we desired for.

    We got a group of sneak peek photos 2 weeks after the wedding. It is very considerate that they sent us those photos for posting on social media. 8 weeks after the wedding we got the final edits, including a highlight slideshow and 200+ fully edited photos. These photos are great and I got a lot of “wows” from friends and family. We are very glad those photos captured the happiness deep within the hearts of us and the guests.

    Overall, it is a very great experience working with Alex and Anastasia and we definitely recommend them!

    Tips: We did both our engagement photo session and wedding photos with RedSphere Studios. It turns out that doing engagement session as a “trial run” is very important for us. We learned how we need to interact with Alex and Anastasia during the engagement photo session. I think our wedding day photos may not look as great if we didn’t have this prior experience. I recommend taking engagement session photos and review them before your wedding :)

    Incredible photographers and photographs from RedSphere Studios!

    Alex and Anastasia were incredibly knowledgeable, professional, and a lot of fun in planning our wedding and over our wedding weekend! The photo journalism style of the photographs, and attention to lighting and detail made for exceptionally stunning photos.

    We are so happy with the final photos, the photos are a beautiful and special memory of the best day of our lives, and we are so grateful to Alex and Anastasia for capturing the special, romantic, fun and goofy moments throughout our wedding day!

    Stunning Photos from Friendly Photographers

    My husband and I chose RedSphere studios for our engagement and wedding photos and I am so happy we did! Alex and Anastasia are an absolute pleasure to work with and made us feel very comfortable. They are very quick to answer any questions and we got our photos back very quickly. Also, our photos are so unique and beautiful. They have an eye for capturing stunning moments that we will always remember. If I could give more then 5 stars I would.

    The best of the best!

    I first of all I want to say I work in the wedding industry with the pickiest of the pickiest, so I understand perfection and Alex and Anastasia were amazing!!!! I have to admit, people thought I was crazy spending so much for my photographer but her is not the most expensive and even my husband had to be convinced. But once we met him we knew he could help find our wedding moments in photos that we would never forget. It has been two months and we already have 4 giant canvases of our wedding and my husband can not stop bragging about our photographer and photos he originally was skeptical about...now he's happy! We are not models, we are not skinny perfect people and our venue was not a $100,000 wedding! But we loved our photos, he made our venue stand out like no other photos from the same venue and weddings held at the same place. We loved the way we looked in them! I will look at these photos the rest of my life and it was worth every penny! On top of the fact they were both so nice, professional and attentive from the very beginning and even to the end! If you want to capture how much you love your spouse he is the photographer for you!

    Dreams really do come true through the lens of Redsphere!

    RedSphere’s ability to incorporate the surrounding scenery & space with pictures of “us” is exceptional without question. Alex and Anastasia did their homework. They arrived earlier in the day and surveyed the outdoor & indoor areas so that we could maximize our time together once we arrived. Definitely ‘top notch’! Very professional, non-obtrusive and extremely competent. Truly experts in photography. You won’t be disappointed. Take the time to align with Alex ahead of time so that he knows what your goals are and he will deliver.

    THANK YOU, RedSphere, for your passion and attention to detail. Your expertise captured our special day. We just loved working with you and Anastasia. Our finished photos are beautiful, exquisite and unique. The photo slide show that Alex put together was bar-non perfect!

    It captured “us”, our friends and family impeccably. It was one of the happiest days of our lives that Alex captured perfectly. ‘Thank you’ Alex & Anastasia! We greatly appreciate your talents and expertise. The photos and video are a treasure of our 25th Anniversary that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

    We LOVE RedSphere! We feel so lucky to have found them at a wedding expo shortly after getting engaged. We knew then and there we wanted them as our photographers if they had our date open (once we picked it). and they did!

    We had a fantastic time doing our engagement shoot with Alex and Anastasia. They asked us to send them a list of locations here in San Francisco for our engagement shoot...and Alex added some others he thought would work well. We had a rainy day which worried me at first...but Alex said it's his favorite weather to shoot in! And we LOVED the outcome! Gorgeous enchanting photos. And we also just had a great time hanging out with them all day - two really genuine and fun people.

    We then had Alex and Anastasia with us ALL DAY on our wedding day! They were everywhere and I know they got some awesome shots. They were with us while getting ready, throughout the ceremony and reception, and they even came to the after party! We've seen some sneak peaks and they are, as expected, glorious! We can't wait to see the rest.

    Alex really has an eye for unique and artistic shots and we so loved working with them!! I would recommend them to any/everyone!

    I first saw Alex and his work at a bridal show and we really liked his style. His website shows lots of amazing shoots from his previous clients. His fees are very reasonably priced, compared to other vendors. We booked him for both our engagement and wedding pictures. We decided on San Francisco for our Engagement shoot and Alex took us to a few locations throughout. He was very easy to work with and had great ideas/locations for the pictures. He provided the engagement pictures ahead of schedule- which worked out great because we were short on time. Our wedding was last Saturday, on February 25th so we won't have the wedding pictures for a while but Alex was kind enough to provide us with a few sneak peek images. WOW- I am already blown away with the pictures he provided, can't wait for the rest. We HIGHLY recommend Alex and encourage you to view his website. Thank you Alex and team for all of your hard work and efforts. Ariel & Melissa

    I just have to write a review for Alex and Brenda at Redsphere because they are ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!! They just shot my wedding this past Saturday 1/19/13 so obviously its way too soon to see the pictures yet, but I was so impressed with them I couldn't wait to write them a review!! From the beginning Redsphere was professional, kind, responsive to my emails and never made me feel like a crazy bride! They were quick to respond to my emails and over other photographers whose work I wasn't impressed with are priced very competitively, and believe me they are worth every penny!!! Redsphere arrived early the day of and were literally there for every moment all day long! They made the process easy and I am confident that they captured all my moments. Above all Alex and Brenda are super nice and you never feel like you have a camera in your face! Brenda even had to deal with all my rowdy groomsmen and my groom (who had started the party early that morning) and did wonderfully with them. I can tell Alex has a true vision for photography and he did an amazing job! I had a huge list of photos that I wanted, especially at the church where we were under a time crunch and they handled it all so efficiently, they made it look easy! I would encourage you to look at the website because the pictures are amazing and I can promise you that you will not be disappointed by Redsphere! I HIGHLY recommend choosing Redsphere Studios for your wedding photographer!!

    We saw Alex's website and new instantly, that we wanted him to be our wedding photographer, he has a real talent for capturing those little moments and creates some beautiful pictures.

    Its one of those critical things on your wedding day, it goes by so quickly and your photos are your memories so you have to choose the right person. Alex was so professional, his communication throughout the process from signing contracts to receiving the finished photos was second to none. We knew we were in great hands and trusted him completely.

    He sent us some 'sneak peak' photos after the wedding which allowed us to make some special thank you cards for our guests. They left everybody excitedly awaiting the rest, i couldn't stop staring at them.

    I must have looked through our final photos a thousand times, we're so incredibly happy with them, what a fantastic job he has done with the photography and editing.

    I would use Alex again in a heartbeat, no regrets at all!

    If you are looking for an engagement or wedding photographer, stop looking now because you have found SF's best photographers! Alex & Brenda are beyond amazing (is that possible?), seriously they are.

    Style - Please go to his website and just look at the vivid colors. The way the colors pop on all of the pictures is amazing. His photo touch ups are incredible. All of his pictures look natural but have been enhanced to make everything look so much better (crisper & cleaner). We have had SO many friends comment on how amazing our photos look.

    Locations - We have lived in the city for four years and Alex took us to places we never imagined could provide such incredible backdrops. They drove us around to 8 different locations on our engagement photo shoot! We had a few ideas, and they covered all of those, but they then went above and beyond to ensure we had some iconic images, which is what we said we wanted.

    Friendliness - Such a nice couple. We spent about 6 hours with them and the time flew by. Plus, they put up with our many requests and questions with openness and thoughtfulness.

    Overall, we were just so impressed by the professionalism and high quality they brought to the table. They really took the time and effort required to make sure these were the special photos and memories we wanted. We used two of the photos in our wedding invitations, and we're planning to have several of them printed to hang in our house because we love to look at them (hope that doesn't make us too narcissistic!). I know I mentioned it above, but it's seriously overwhelming how many people have made it a point to tell us how amazing the photos are. If that doesn't speak for his work, I don't know what does!

    Alex photographed our San Francisco City Hall elopement in April 2012. We found him online and loved his photos and his prices. We were extremely pleased with Alex's professionalism in our communications and very impressed with the photos of our special day. Alex was fantastic to work with and the photos speak for themselves. We recommend Alex for your wedding or any other photography need.

    I wish there is a way to give Alex 25 stars.. he was so fab for an engagement shoot we had in SF... His attitude is let us have fun and let us create memories and I will do the work for you all - he is aware of his cameras, settings, flashes, day light, night light and every aspect of taking a great shot - over the engagement shoot - we had 3 outfit changes and over 400 pics - each shot was amazing and well taken - he knows how to capture the shot - We got married in Hawaii and had already connected and contracted with a local photographer but if we did not then he would be the guy - his pricing is competitive, he is flexible and just really patient. Looking at my engagement shoots - people are enamored and they love all our pics. His processing is also FAB... I know that every special event in my life going forward - Alex and his wife Brenda will be the photographers.. If I were a model, he would be the guy who would do my photos... he is great with photographing movement in fabric and details...

    His attitude of patience and love for this art is contagious and I wish every photographer would learn from him... his work is high end ... Once I am back from my travels I am going to learn from him and perfect my techniques...

    The best way we thought was to do an initial meeting with him and Brenda and it really helped us to feel comfy with them and my husband (at that time fiance) were just comfortable - my hubby is not much of a camera guy but Alex has done a FANTABULOUS job of capturing everything - All I can say is I want to be photographed for life by Alex... thank you for being there for us... U R THE BEST I have come across...

    I absolutely LOVE my wedding photos. Alex is amazing.

    My husband was in charge of picking the photographer because he knows what he wants in photos. I am so happy he picked RedSphere Studios! Alex has been super responsive to emails from the very beginning. He came across as very personal in emails which was a plus for me since we were planning this out of state and some of the other photographers were very matter-of-fact.
    When we finally made it to CA, Alex took time out of his schedule to meet us at the wedding location to see that spots we wanted which he definitely wasn't obligated to do. I wish we had had time to take formal engagement photos with him but we didn't have enough time.

    When Alex says he has a passion for his work and is dedicated to capturing everything without limit, he really means it.

    If you want your day to be captured in brilliant color, ALEX is your man. Hands down. People will comment how great every single wedding photo is if you use RedSphere Studios.

    There are no re-takes when it comes to your wedding photos. So, I couldn't be happier that I happened to find Alex at an otherwise pretty awful bridal showcase. From the beginning, he was flexible, accommodating, welcoming, kind and completely open/non-judgmental (it's amazing the comments people will make when they find out you're getting married in a matter of weeks and still have planning left!).

    Of course, all that turned out to be just icing on the proverbial GORGEOUS cake. Alex did such a fantastic job with the photos that I get compliments from literally every person who has seen them on not just how beautiful we look (though of course that's nice to hear - so THANK YOU especially for whatever magic you made, Alex!), but also on the incredibly high artistic quality for the photos.

    His use of color is stunning, and he did such a wonderful job showcasing San Francisco's City Hall as not just a backdrop, but a visual subject in itself. It really made our ceremony photos something we'll truly treasure forever.The party photos and portraits were incredible to boot - he really made an effort to capture shots of each person who attended, and those serve as such an incredibly rich record of such a wonderful day in our lives and those we love so dearly who shared in it.

    As for the logistics, Alex's pricing is beyond reasonable (so if you think you can't afford him, talk to him!) and he gives you all of the digital hi-res images to do what you want with. After speaking with a few services that actually charged you separately for these - which I think is absolutely ridiculous - the way Alex works, making it actually about you, was a breath of fresh air. He also went above and beyond to make sure he captured all the moments that were important to us. I practically had to force him to take a small plate of food for energy - I don't know how he kept up with us literally all day and well into the night!

    I cannot recommend Alex and his work highly enough. Having the honor of working with Alex for our wedding has meant so much to us, and thanks to his amazing work, will continue to for the rest of our lives!

    Overall, took months to get my pictures and a horrible disappointment. I don't have a single picture of myself that I like. Total waste of money and my wedding day. They should not be in this business. Having to pay to organize another photo shoot with family and bridal party because there is literally not one picture that is nice. All are over enhanced and look awful.
