    We did pre-wedding photo in Los Angeles. My husband and I are very satisfied with the whole process. Jay and Annie are really nice. They are professional and patient. Before coming to Los Angeles, Annie sent to us a lot of suggestions which were very helpful. I really like the full face makeup Annie did. Jay taught us different poses. The final photos we get are perfect, and all my families and friends like these photos. I have a high expectation of the pre-wedding photo and I really think I made the right choice.

    Jay is a young, talented, and very professional photographer! My husband and I did our pre-wedding photo session through Jay's Studio, and it was such a memorable experience. During the time when we were planning for our wedding, we were specifically looking for photography studio for pre-wedding photo shoot that provides full service not only for the photographic session itself, but also include formal outfits, hairstyling, and make-ups. We are from Sacramento, and so we were looking around bay area for photographers. We found some from bay area that provide full service, but the reviews online weren't good at all and when I checked out their work from their website, it did not give me that "wow" feeling. And then I expanded my search area to Southern California, and came across a website that has great feedback about Jay's Studio, so I looked into Jay's website to look for his work. From what he posted, his work were very stunning and impressive. He has this unique taste in his work that catches my eyes. I shared my findings with my husband and he made a "wow" comment. So we decided to contact Jay and asked for the price quote. The price was very reasonable (in fact, the price was either cheaper than or equivalent to most American photographers who do not provide full service like Jay's Studio does). We then scheduled the time with Jay's Studio and decided to drive down south few days for our photo shooting session. When we arrived to the studio, his staff greeted us and sat us down so Jay could come meet with us and discuss what we want for our pre-wedding photo shooting. The photo shooting package included 1 indoor and 1 outdoor location. Normally people would do the indoor one inside of the studio, but I want something more than that. Jay suggested that we can pick another location as indoor photo shooting portion, such as inside of the hotel. We then thought of Langham Hotel at Pasadena because that was where we were staying at. Langham is such a beautiful hotel that has a lot of great scene we could use, but that costed us extra because the hotel does charge for using their facility for professional photo shooting. And for outdoor, we liked to do it on the beach, so Jay suggested Santa Monica beach which was about 40 minutes drive there from Pasadena. After all the discussion, his staff then took me to the other side of the studio to pick out outfits I would like to use for the photo shooting. They have a huge room with all kinds of formal dresses. The package included 3 outfits, but I wanted to use my own wedding gown for one of it, so I only needed to pick 2 outfits from the studio. With so many selection, I have no idea where to start and what I wanted. Jay's staff (I think it was Debbie??) was helping me out a lot. She pulled out few dresses based on the shape of my body and my tone color. She also suggested me another wedding gown to use at the beach so I didn't have to get my own gown dirty. So after trying few dresses, my husband and I decided on 1 red lace gown and my own wedding gown for use at Langham Hotel, and the wedding gown that she suggested for the beach. And then on the day of photo shooting, we went back to the studio early in the morning to get dressed up with my own wedding gown first. Annie (Jay's wife) was the hairstylist and makeup artist. She chatted with me for a bit and asked me to look through the magazine to see what kind of hairstyles I liked, she then figured out something for me that fit my personality. I was stunned to see how fast and how well she did the hair and makeup for me. I love it a lot!! After that, we drove to the hotel and began our photo shooting there. With my own wedding gown on, my husband had black tux on. It was our very first formal photo shooting, so we didn't even know what to do in front of the photographer. But Jay was very professional. He kept talking to us to make us feel more comfortable. He was very talented because he didn't have to think for long but he was able to tell us what to do very quickly and caught us on the best pose and expression. We first started on the bridge inside of the hotel, and we requested to take some photo with the piano, then went to the stairways with the huge chandeliers, and then out to the Japanese Garden in the back of the hotel. Later on, I changed to the red lace gown, and my husband changed to a gray tux. And Annie helped me to change my hairstyle and makeup to match the red gown. We took some photos outside of the bar of the hotel and at the atrium. After that, we needed to get ready and head out to Santa Monica beach, so I changed to the last white gown and my husband changed to white tux. Annie added hair extention on me and changed my hairstyle once again. At the end we changed to our casual outfit for the last portion of photo shooting. From the great experience we had, I would highly recommend anyone for pre-wedding and/or wedding photography from Jay's Studio!

    We had our pre-wedding with Jay and Anni at Iceland and Prague this year. It was an amazing experience. We used our pre-wedding photos at our wedding in May, and everyone was surprised and motivated by our photos. Before talking to Jay, I have explored 3 or 4 photographers at the same time, and they are all absolutely great. After the comparison, I knew Jay was the best and have most experience no matter inside or outside the USA, especially Iceland. During the trip, they are not only an excellent photographer and makeup artist, but also the best tour guide I have. They were familiar with every beautiful place, delicious restaurant, amazing hotel, and can always make the best plan for the whole journey. Anni was really really patient, and experienced, she just listened to my expectations and gave me the best hair and makeup style every time. So I knew I would love the photos even before we did that. She recommended lamb hotdog in Iceland, it was the best, ever hotdog I have in my life!!!! I don't even remember how many we bought, maybe 10 or 11 haha. I believe we will still ask Jay to take photos when I get pregnant in the future, still not sure when that gonna happen, but it will!!!

    I'm very happy we sought Owen for our engagement photos. He was made the process easy and I…read moredefinitely recommend him to anyone in need of a professional photographer. My husband and I were surprised with how good the photos turned out. Owen guided us on poses, so do not worry if you don't have any experience in front of a camera like us. I appreciate his attention to detail (notifying us of stray hairs, etc.) and he was respectful for my family who wanted a group photo. Not to mention, he's really humorous with his pop culture references; that definitely broke the ice and allowed us to be more at ease. I also want to highlight that he works incredibly fast and presented the finished products just a few days after our shoot! Thank you, Owen, for capturing these special moments for me and my husband.

    I can't say enough about Owen's services. He was the best photographer I think we have ever hired…read more Super friendly and professional from the start, easy to schedule and book. He knew what we were looking for and took pictures of everything, food, guests, the venue. He directed all of the family photos and wasn't afraid to tell people to fix things for the sake of the pictures. He had my kids taking their monstrous load of stuff out of their pockets and even had me "suck it in" to get the right shot. Quick delivery of the photos and was cool enough to just give us all of the picture for the event. Highly recommend....

    This was my fourth photoshoot with Oxana Alex Photography since 2016, and my only regret is not…read moredoing them more often! Oxana Alex's photos are my absolute best pictures and the warmest memories I will cherish for a lifetime. The Session & Atmosphere This time, we had a maternity photoshoot at 30 weeks. I am currently pregnant with our third child. We took photos of just me, and also with my husband and children. The session took place in late October 2025 and it went simply wonderfully. Oxana is the most gentle, caring, and patient person; she creates a beautiful atmosphere on set. Hair and Makeup Oxana had an incredible makeup artist who works for various brands, but mainly has been a makeup artist for the House of Dior for many years. I had the pleasure of having my hair and makeup done by her. It was stress-free, all on time, and the hair and makeup were simply stunning. Why Oxana Alex is the Best While deciding on my concepts, I looked through the portfolios of all the photographers in LA and can confidently say that Oxana's work is the best. Oxana and her studio have undeniable advantages: 1. Unmatched Professionalism and Lighting The key to a beautiful photograph is the lighting setup. I don't know how she does it, but all her photographs, even before editing, look absolutely perfect! This speaks volumes about her skill, technique, and camera equipment. 2. Extensive Premium Wardrobe Oxana has a huge wardrobe of premium items that she offers to clients for their shoots. You can be sure to find jewelry and looks for any creative idea, and it will look cool and stylish. The most difficult part for me was coordinating outfits for my family of four without a stylist: finding, ordering and trying on. I was so happy that I didn't have to put together my own outfit at all! I only bought underwear and one white blouse for myself. That's it! Everything else was provided by Oxana and fit perfectly. I also didn't want bulky dresses, as I feel they are going out of style; I wanted to be a stylish pregnant mom with more of a fashion focus. Thanks to her extensive wardrobe, we were able to achieve this as well as beautiful maternity gowns. 3. Professional Eye and Industry Experience With over 10 years in the industry, mostly shooting major bloggers and celebrities for covers, Oxana has a huge aesthetic background and an incredible sense of taste. She helps with posing and facial expressions. Even if you are not a professional model, it's impossible not to become one through her lens. 4. Unique Photo Delivery Policy The fact that she gives you all the successful, unedited photos is truly unique for Los Angeles. You only have to choose which of the many great photos you want edited. When I sent the unedited pictures to my relatives for help choosing, they didn't understand why they even needed editing?! That's how good the originals turned out! Again, this is due to the perfectly set lighting, her technique, and her professionalism. I could go on and on describing the process and how much we all, including my husband and children, enjoyed working with Oxana yet again. But I'll just say one thing: We are already planning to return for a mommy-and-me session! And this time, we won't miss a single milestone of our fifth family member. Thank you dear Oxana

    This was my second time doing a maternity shoot with Oxana, and the fact that I came back says it…read moreall! She is incredibly talented and makes the whole experience feel comfortable and special. My photos turned out absolutely beautiful, and I couldn't be happier with them. I'm so grateful to have these memories captured and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer.
