We hired Alex and his team for my photo and video. We had a 7-hour package from 2 PM to 9 PM at Willows Lodges. We scheduled the photo start time for 2 PM, annd Alex showed up at 12:00PM to begin setting up. My makeup artist told me this is Alex style. Once he finished setting up the video equipment, he went to the site to start capturing the details--shots of my dress, my beautiful high heels, and jewelry. He was so detailed, trying to get different angles of the shots, which I really liked. I spent a lot of money on my dress and accessories, and I definitely wanted to capture them in my book. The ceremony was outside under the stage, and he guided us to the back area, which had more greenery, for our family and wedding party portraits. He was so funny and creative--everyone enjoyed his sense of humor. I believe he has a gift for making people feel comfortable and de-stressed. He even made my 85-year-old grandmother smile, which I hadn't seen in a long, long time. During the ceremony, he captured so many different shots, from wide angles to close-ups. He stayed close to us but kept enough distance so that the guests felt comfortable. I remember at my sister's wedding, her photographer stayed too close to everyone, and it felt awkward. We received over 2,000 proofs to select from and ended up choosing 250 instead of the 200 we planned. Thank you, Alex and your team, for capturing this wonderful lifetime memory for us. We really appreciate your hard work and sense of humor. Whenever I visit my grandma, she still remembers your name. You definitely have a gift and talent for bringing happiness to others.

Hired Alex for our kids birthday. He did an amazing job of capturing all the beautiful moments from candid kids pictures, cake, food , decor to family portraits. He also gave us complimentary birthday cake cutting video. We can't recommend his service enough. read more

Alex has taken photos of my family for years. We were so excited for him to shoot our wedding and unfortunately the photos were the only thing that went wrong. First, he over charged us and we got over 1000 photos and video that were extremely low quality. When he sent us the preview all the photos were edited. But our gallery only had photos with filters. I don't know why a photographer would offer edited photos then say "it wasn't included in the package". He missed important moments and the only family photo my husband's family wanted didn't turn out. Alex rushed through everything and then would disappear for periods of time. He also pulled my friend and her boyfriend aside 3 separate times for solo couple shots. We received more shots of my friend/her boyfriend than me/my daughter, me/my mom, and my husband/daughter/me combined. And Alex asked my friend to call him when she got engaged. I would not trust Alex with your wedding. It's so disappointing to look back at memories and have better photos taken with an iPhone than the ones you paid for. We've hired Alex many times and loved the photos, I don't know why he did such a horrible job. It's equally disappointing to hear repeated excuses. We tried to get him to fix the photos or reimburse us because we wasted so much money on prints and he would not accommodate. He kept saying he complied with the contract, even though he knew how upset we were. I've paid Alex thousands and thousands of dollars for photos over the last 7 years. I know he's capable of taking good photos, but I wouldn't risk hiring him based on our experience. read more

We did our newborn / family photos with Alex and are happy with the results. The photoshoot takes place at Alex's studio, and Alex provided some props while we brought the rest, including multiple outfits. Overall it was great value for the price as Alex gave us all 300+ photos he took. We were able to squeeze in multiple poses for our family as well as get standalone newborn shots in wraps with nice backgrounds. It took 2 hours overall and Alex was patient and friendly with us. I only wish I had brought more outfits and props! If you are looking for great value with a versatile photographer definitely give Alex a shot. read more

Having Alex shoot your special moments feels more like partnering with a close friend (who just happens to be a photography wizard), than working with some random vendor. He's genuine, fun, lighthearted, and has a never ending supply of energy! We couldn't be happier with our photos and have been eagerly showing them off to everyone in our circle of family and friends. While most photographers only specialize in capturing bright/vivid images OR dark/dramatic images, Alex has the talents to do BOTH (which is why my wife and I decided to select him over all other photo vendors in the first place). He patiently coached us through various posses to take the guesswork out of our sessions, and additionally took a ton of candid/action shots that came out incredible. Alex has been right by our side to capture our biggest milestones as a couple: my surprise proposal, our engagement photo session (which consisted of 3 Seattle locations/3 outfit changes in just 2 hours), and our wedding (in Hawaii!!)...and there is not a doubt in my mind that we will ALWAYS seek out Alex for all future celebrations!! read more

We've used Alex for both our engagement shoot (Pike Place Market, Lake Washington, Washington Arboretum) and wedding (Rainier Club) and most recently, our three-generation family photoshoot at Bellevue Botanical Garden with our 2 yo son and grandparents visiting from overseas. Alex is professional, artistic, creative and delivers outstanding work. His ideas as a creative are excellent and produce stunning shots. Editing is top notch, which makes it hard to pick your favorite photos! Alex's turnaround is fast - incredible work ethic, results speak for themselves. Highly recommend Alex for your photography needs! read more

We booked Alex for our wedding and pre-wedding shoots! He is super helpful, talented, and flexible in all ways possible. We had an outdoor pre-wedding photo shoot in the Fall, and then our reception which he photographed the following year in the summer. The photos came out amazing, as did our album. He's also organized and on top of his stuff, which can be rare to find in the wedding industry! In fact, my wife and I were procrastinating on picking our photos for our album, and he got his to eventually pick pictures (aka do our jobs) so that we could get a master piece of an album. Highly recommend Alex for any life events, including South Asian weddings. read more

We've hired Alex and his team for family photos two years in a row now: the first one outdoors and the second time, indoor at the studio. Both turned out incredibly well. Communication was quick and convenient, and prices were clearly listed on his website. He was extremely responsive, gave great recommendations (i.e. what hours of the day were best for outdoor photo, suggested locations), and was very accommodating. It was tough to juggle our schedules, but Alex made it work, and within a short notice too! During the photo shoot, Alex and his team were friendly and welcoming. My parents, despite not speaking English fluently, quickly warmed up to them. On the outdoor shoot, the photographer arrived early and already researched multiple spots before we even arrived. He had already taken some test photos to figure out how to optimize the natural lights. We had our dogs with us and he was able to get really great photos of them, despite their best efforts to run in opposite directions. We had a lot of fun on both photo shoots, and I loved that Alex and his team were able to get candid photos and portraits that didn't look rigidly staged. Both times, Alex and his team listened to us and designed an experience that felt tailor made for us. Post-shoot, Alex sent me the preview album within a few days, despite it being a holiday weekend. Communication throughout the process was seamless. Alex has reasonable rates and various packages that accommodate different needs. Whether you bought a 20-minute photo session or a multi-hour outdoor session, Alex Studio will make you feel like you're their most valued customers and they'll take care of you from the moment you reach out to the moment you get your photos. I can't recommend them enough for photos in the greater Seattle area. read more

It was great working with Alex to capture our family photos. Alex was quick to respond via text or email. We received our photos a few days after the photo session with no delay. Will definitely work with Alex again. read more

Alex Studio - Videographers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

We first met Alex 14 years ago and selected him to photograph our wedding. Alex is funny, efficient, yet calm, poise and focus. Most importantly, Alex made our wedding day memorable not only with his skills and abilities to capture the perfect shots but capturing the candid moments. Alex also made extra effort to encourage us when we most needed it and kept our wedding going. An 18 hours day wedding event is no joke! We are most grateful for Alex! When we had our first child, Alex was there to capture our growing family. Many years later we reunited with our most beloved photographer and friend for an updated family Fall shoot. Again, Alex delivers. Thank You Alex! read more

I'm very picky and very specific with photos, since I'm very detailed and know what I like and don't like. And all I can say is that Alex is phenomenal. He is the best you can get in the USA! E X P E R I E N C E We first found Alex through a friend's Cruise Wedding. I loved him so much that I booked him as my photographer/videographer before I even chose a venue. Honestly before he even took photos for me, I was raving about him to all my friends and family. Even now, after the fact, I still stand by my decision. You need to book him! We booked him 4 day, 3 nights at the Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort. During the stay, we wanted him to enjoy his time and so we welcomed him to join our party but gave him his space to explore. From the moment he arrived, he went exploring to find some good spots to take photos, get his creative juices flowing. Every night he would work on uploading photos onto his computer. We took his entire day on wedding day and he spent 3 hrs the next day to take some post wedding photos. TIP: Visit his FB/IG "alexstudiophoto" for more photos. He also has a website "www.alexphotographyblog.com" TIP: He travels! He's been everywhere, all around the US, Hawaii, Turks and Caicos (for me).. he even goes on cruises! H I S S T Y L E Alex is the lead photographer. It is his company. He was the only one who flew over and took our wedding photos for us He has a bit of an accent and speaking style, so if you're not familiar with the way foreigners speak, you may just have to ask him to repeat/clarify. He's very open and easy to work with. He has a great sense of humor and always has a smile on his face. His style of photography can be very rigid and portrait, or can be very artistic and "outside the box." It just depends on what you like, and he will do it well for you. My style is the posed, artsy photos, but also needed the basic wedding group portrait photos. They came out beautifully. I would've loved to have them photoshopped but for the price, he cannot be beat! I also needed videography and with the help of one my friends, he was able to do it all, and do it well! He's absolutely fantastic. H I S T E A M He has a team; I've never met them and don't know how many there are. I've only had email correspondence with his ?secretary, Candy. She seems quite polite and responds promptly. P A C K A G E Ask him for different types of package deals. I did a wedding package of 500 color enhanced photos, highlight video and full video. He also sent me the raw images for all 5000. P R I C E Prices are negotiable and he's very flexible. He will work with you! He really does want to work with you long term. At the time, I was starting a new job, moving houses and planning the wedding myself; it was hectic, and money was a concern. To help us save money, instead of having a team of 4 come, he came just himself, and we opted not to do engagement photos. He worked with us and was so understanding. T O A L E X: We are very pleased with how the videos/photos turned out. You really are the cherry on top of how perfect our wedding was. Thank you Alex for making this part of our wedding so memorable and so perfect. You really worked with me to capture exactly what I wanted, especially with me being so specific with what I do and don't like. We enjoyed your company and can't wait to work with you again! read more

We discovered Alex Studio at the Seattle Wedding Show at the beginning of 2020. We booked his photography and videography services for our wedding, including an engagement photo session and a photo booth at our reception. Alex is the most responsive vendor we've ever worked with - whether you prefer email or text, you will hear back within mere minutes. This was so appreciated as we navigated rescheduling a wedding during the pandemic. He and his team were dedicated to capturing many special moments, from Alex himself photographing us at multiple locations for our engagement shoot to capturing multiple events during our wedding day (Chinese tea ceremony + American-style wedding). Because they were from the same studio, they were able to coordinate easily with each other on capturing different angles, getting both photo and video coverage, etc. One thing we loved is that he provided all the RAW footage after the event (over 4000 files), along with an edited set of 500, something we didn't often see other photographers offer. For services that he had to change due to COVID (no printed photos at the photo booth), he was able to come up with an alternate solution (sharing a digital album and printing a full set for us afterwards). We recommend him for your wedding photography needs! read more

Alex is fantastic ! I will use him again - his artist style is so amazing! He is fun and his photo's are true art! The video is clear and just what we wanted and the photobooth was so fun. Thank you Alex for being apart of my daughter and her now husband's special day and creating a lifetime of beautiful photo's for us to remember this beautiful day! read more

Alex was a pleasure to work with. He makes everyone comfortable and is very professional. He has a good eye and the photos turned out great! I highly recommend Alex and plan on calling him again for our future events! read more

Alex was a humorous and fun photographer but my wife and I were not very pleased with the wedding photos themselves. I would categories Alex's photography for us as a having a shotgun approach . He will take many photos without much organizing and or planning which lead us to a lot of unorgazied photos. Not one of my groomsmen photos showed all of us looking toward the camera and or in the same position. For the price we expected better quality which we saw on his website when making our decision. I cant say you will have this experience however it was ours. read more

My wife and I love taking boudoir pictures every few years. Since we moved to Bellevue from California not long ago, we spent some time looking for a new photographer and found Alex. He is a very professional photographer in terms of skills and work ethic. He is also very accommodating when it comes to scheduling and customer needs. Alex spent a lot of effort on the session: he started preparing a month ahead by meeting with us to discuss concepts. And then he guided us to gather outfits for the shoot. During the session, he worked much longer time than planned with us so we can try all the outfits we got. In the end, the photos turn out to be amazing! The majority of them can go straight to our wall without photoshops. We would definitely come back to him when we want professional photos again, boudoir or other kinds alike ;) read more

Alex is by far one of the most professional, timely, and reliable photographer I've had the pleasure of meeting. When you inquire about his services, he responds immediately and will even text you if that is more convenient. He quickly commits, reassures you that he will be at your event early, and is very communicative and understanding to your needs. He apparently has a photo booth for events too, which I'm excited to hire him for our next event and check out. Reach out to Alex, you 100% won't regret it! read more

I love having Alex shoot our pictures!! This is my 2nd time having him do it because I loved how well the pictures turned out the first time, I wanted to recapture it a second time! All my pictures are beautiful and to be honest I had a make up fail but he has such an eye for lighting that you wouldn't believe I had a make up fail. LOL Book a session with him and you will have amazing photos!! Pc read more

We got married last December 2020.  We are extremely satisfied with our wedding photo.  You know, there are tons of wedding photographers in Seattle.  After doing a lot of research, Alex Studio came up with the final selection.  We Loved all our photos!!!  They turned out more beautiful than I imagined. I love Alex's sense of humor. He got his own way to make you feel comfortable in front of his camera.  I don't know how to compliment him enough and even my bridesmaid and groomsmen complimented on how "easy-going" and "fun" he was in our wedding party photo session! Alex, you made me feel so happy to make the decision to capture our day.   Tons of different angles from closeups to wide angles as well as the formal good lighting family photo which is very important to us.  Some of our families don't live in Seattle, so these pictures are all that we have to share with our families.  We can't even believe we got our proofs in less than a week.   Since we share it with our family, it's been tons of compliments and we are just so happy that they got to spend the day with us through the photos. My husband and I are still blown away with the awesomeness of our wedding photos, courtesy of photographer extraordinaire Alex, and the entire team at Alex Studio.   Thank you again Alex! You are awesome! Updated! We are picking the best images for our album order now...so many good one...ahhhh...i can't decide!! At the end, we narrow down to 120 images for our album order. Very excited and will update here when we receive the album. Very exciting! read more

My fiancé and I had our first photo shoot together, and Alex couldn't have been a better fit for us. He made it so easy, and he was absolutely hilarious, eliciting genuine smiles. We received tons of photos, edited within a day or two, and were so pleased with the results, making it difficult to pick our favorite ones!! Can't wait to book our future photo shoots with Alex! read more

Alex is very talented and enthusiastic for his artwork. You will not be disappointed with his deliverables. We had a fun time on the shoots. Would highly recommend him. read more

It's very rare you find kind people these days. Alex and the staff are some of the most professional people I've had the opportunity to work with. Today was beyond hectic day. They not only made sure to take time to make sure I was calm. They took time to take a moment of time an get the photos truly needed for the occasion. I will always make sure to request there services on my needs for future events or professional photos. Alex isn't just a photographer but a kind and genuine person. I came for one need but will make sure to have all future needs done by this company. Alex is a cut above. read more

10 minutes for hundred pictures. Everything all set within two days. Great experience. read more

Great photographer! We highly recommend him. It was our first time taking family photos in WA and he helped us find a great outdoor location. read more

Alex perfectly captured our traditional Hindu house warming. He not only captured our and our guests' emotions and expressions, but also the finer aspects of the actual event itself. This is an elaborate three hour long event with lots of elements and activities, and Alex did a great job patiently and perfectly capturing not only the main aspects, but also the minor and finer ones such as the food spread. Ensuring that we will have lots of fun memories of the day! He also took some great snaps of our house itself, which by the way, was supposed to be the center of attraction. He was very accommodating with the timing as well. We had to move the time a few times, and he didn't complain and planned his day around our needs. We are more than happy with the output, and will definitely consider his services for future occasions. read more

I am giving Alex studio a fair 2 star only because I enjoyed the owner's personality as he is a funny guy. Skills: mediocre to low. Alex studio has an approach of taking thousands of photos and hoping that some will turn out decent. Very standard poses, nothing artistic and unique. No photo editing: Alex studio also has an approach of making you look like a model by extending your height and making you thinner so that you look nothing like you as a final result. Some might like this but I didn't as I was 120 pounds and didn't think I needed much weight reduction. He however refuses to do the necessary editing such as if your wedding dress is missing a button (personal experience) in a bunch of photos he tells you that he only edits 50 of them. So if you don't have any photoshop skills yourself just understand you will be happy with only 50 of your photos. Photos are also very low quality such as light covering faces while dancing. This was the case with the videos too (almost the entire first dance) His portfolio looks amazing online and that is what we fell for. I do regret choosing Alex studio for my wedding photography and videography. read more

It was great working with Alex!! He has a great personality and is easy to work with.. scheduling the day and time I wanted for the shoot was easy... photos came out to be amazing.. would definitely go back to him for another shoot ... read more

Our family had a great time working with Alex for the first time for our three-generation family portrait, and absolutely love his masterwork. He's fun and artistic, eased us to bring out the natural, bright smile of everyone. Will definitely have him again for other photo shootings and recommend him to friends and families! read more

I was referred to this photo studio from a friend and decided to go with them for my wedding photos. Overall, their prices were the most inexpensive out of all the other photographers that I looked at and their photos were fairly standard. We were fortunate enough to get 2 additional photographers who were "training", so we got a lot of different angles and shots! If you do use them, you should definitely ask for Brandon Tan who's this "up-and-coming" photographer on staff and did an amazing job! He was my 2nd photographer, but I swear, he shouldn't been the lead man! All his shots were crisp, fun, and edgy! Loved his work! read more

We hired Alex Studio for my daughter's one year birthday. We absolutely loved the pictures they took. For this event, we had Candy, one of the photographers who works at Alex Studio. She was awesome and we would hire again in a heartbeat. Over the 2 hour birthday party, Candy took 1075 photos and I was just amazed at her creativity and skill. One great thing I love about this was that she sent me all the picture she took. Not all photographers do this, many will just send the best ones they like. For example, my wedding photographer and his assistant covered our wedding and in the end they only gave us like 200 photos. It cost $495 to cover the two hour event. I received quotes from various photographers and Alex Studio was priced in the middle. The highest quote I received was $700, lowest being $150. Most were around the $300-$500 range. You're going to love the photos. Every cent was worth it. I highly recommend Alex Studio. read more

It's time to do our maternity photos and who do we call first without even entertaining local photographers? ALEX! He agreed to meet us in Portland. Little did we know, he drove to/from Seattle and had a flight out to Hawaii the day after. If that's not dedication and love, I don't know what is. As usual, Alex made the shoot easy for both of us. We goofed around like old friends while he effortlessly captured over 1000 images. Alex has this amazing personality that makes it so easy to work with. I remember when we met him for our engagement session for the first time. We were so nervous and within 30 min we hit it off and we've continued to keep in touch since. Even our bridal party adores him. The man seriously has an eye for capturing those genuine happy moments. Not to mention, his vision of the final product. He found a random grassy area on the side of the road between locations which didn't look like much but the final product turned out to be our favorites. Or his use of a simple window curtain! I said it two years ago, and I'll say it again, Alex is worth every penny. read more

Alex Studio - Videographers Near Me - Bellevue, Washington

Alex is an incredible photographer who helped to capture precious memories for our family. During my maternity photo shoot at the Bellevue botanical garden, he provided great suggestions for poses and locations. The photos turned out fantastic - very natural looking and artistic. Alex was truly a pleasure to work with and I'd highly recommend him as a photographer! read more

Every girl wants to look beautiful in their wedding photos and Alex did an amazing job. His use of angles and lighting gave me beautiful photos that made me look leaner, longer, and beautiful. If you want glam shots, Alex is great! We got photos done at UW in The Suzallo Library and they were stunning-very editorial. I got married in December of 2017 when I was stressed out at my Amazon job and had suddenly put on 10 pounds. I asked Alex to tell me which angles to avoid because I didn't want my photos to look obviously pudgy. With his use of angles, I ended up with a subset of shots that looked crazy good. I still did get candid shots from him too, and loved those too(because I also want some nonglamorous, accurate shots for my own personal memory too). I got so many complements on our photos from family and friends and it was all due to Alex's glam photography! read more

Absolutely amazing photographer. He's done both my sons one year picture and family pictures and out of all the pictures that have ever been taken of me, his are my favorite. He is very creative with the setting and knows just what to do to get the perfect shot. I will definitely be a repeat customer for life! read more

We had our family photo sessions with Alex. It was a great experience working with him. He is very flexible in terms of scheduling and accommodating special requests. He also gave good recommendations on what to bring to the photo sessions to make our 1y old more engaged. Quick turnaround time for the photos. We got our photos after 6 days. Overall, we would highly recommend this photographer. read more

Alex is amazing! Perfect headshots and really nice editing. His studio is awesome and he makes you feel very comfortable during the shoots!

Alex works well with all ages. I was surprised that he was able to get my two teenage sons to cooperate with the different poses. He was also able to loosen up my 84 year old mom and captured some beautiful pictures of her. Never seen our family and mom look so warm and fun in pictures before. Alex, thanks for help our family to capture some beautiful memories. read more

Alex is an awesome professional photographer and videographer! He is communicative and easy to work with. Alex and his team captured all the precious moments of my daughter's 18th Debut Party, which we will cherish forever! read more

I met Alex at the Wedding Expo and was intrigued with the giant wedding posters and photo sign in pictures. He was very engaging and upfront about his approach and his style. As any conscientious shopper would do and Alex being the first vendor, my wife and I shopped around and eventually, decided Alex would be our best choice. Couldn't be happier with Alex and his team 2 years later. Alex and his team went WAY above and beyond to meet our needs. We had an engagement shoot at UW and he met us there. We needed him for our Tea Ceremony on a different day and he availed himself just for that. On our wedding day over a long weekend, Alex made sure he was with the bride's side all day while another photographer was with the groom's at a different location. We then all joined together for more pictures. Alex has a special way to connect with people and to be able to get my 96 year old Grandma who's in a wheelchair to smile for an everlasting picture is priceless. He and his team spent ALL DAY with us on our special day taking pictures. Let's talk what's important: His exceptionally competency in his craft. Our venue at the Foundry was indoor and at times, it can be dark. However, Alex and his team were able to capture the important moments with the perfect lighting and angle. The quality of our pictures turned out amazing. On top of that, let's not forget the extra memory of a movie poster and the creative idea of a sign in picture where guests can sign their names to memorialize our special day. We now have an giant movie poster of us AND a framed art piece with all our guests. What a unique concept other vendors simply don't have. Even more extra is the high quality photo album that Candy will walk you through with her awesome editing to capture all the important moments from A to Z. Oh and the album is Made in Italy:) Overall, for such a stressful day, Alex and his team worked hard to show his talent and alleviate the stress. With so many choices, we hired a photographer that we would rave and recommend this point forward without questions. We are so blessed to have met Alex and his team. Can't wait to create more memories and rest assured we'll hire Alex again!!! read more

Alex does amazing work with his photography and video skills. We did our pre wedding video shoot with him and he made a great video for us. Really appreciate his skills and dedication towards his work. read more
