    Alex is incredible. I knew I wanted him to be my photographer during the first conversation we had. He is humble, kind, funny and attentive, and will make you feel comfortable. Yet somehow, he steps back (at the times he needs to) and is present at your wedding, but you have know idea he is there, and has captured the most amazing moments. My photos show emotion, meaning, fun, and beauty. I did not have a videographer, so I knew that my photos needed to be everything to immortalize my day. He is also an excellent listener, and wants to make the bride and grooms vision a reality. It is such a personal decision about who you want to join you and your family and friends, on your wedding day...and Alex was absolutely fabulous.
    He is so creative, and I have the most gorgeous wedding photos. As a photographer, he stands above the rest. Thank you Alex, I will forever be grateful.

    Alex was wonderful to work with! He listened to what we wanted and what our budget was and created a perfect package for us. We were instantly comfortable working with Alex because of his awesome personality and that was super important for us, so we both looked and felt natural in our pictures. Alex has an amazing eye and we have some incredible landscape shots in a location that he scoped out before our wedding day. I cannot recommend Alex enough and we are so thrilled that we were lucky enough to work with him!

    Cannot say enough about Alex and his team. They really outdid themselves for our big day. Captured the most beautiful moments throughout the ceremony and reception in a way that we didn't think would be possible. Also, we did a number of "site shots" just myself and the groom, and his use of light and exposure is utterly amazing. He was also very flexible and listened to what we wanted/were looking for from the photos. He even suggested and then made a special trip to meet with me one-on-one prior to the wedding to visit the site and go through it together. Extremely reasonable prices for the great service and quality provided.

    We knew we wanted really good photos for our wedding because when the day is over the one thing you are left with are the photos. We knew we wanted the best. We did a lot of research and Alex was competitively priced with other highly sought after premier photographers, he actually beat them out on price which was great. He is slightly more expensive than most standard photographers, but let me tell you it is 100% worth it to pay a little extra money to get a world-class photographer to shoot your wedding.

    I felt beautiful on my wedding day and a part of that was knowing I had Alex on my side to shoot my best side. We had already created a good rapport before the wedding but even if we hadn't, Alex can put you at ease. He makes you feel so comfortable in front of a camera; I had let him know some of my insecurities before we started shooting and I can tell you I didn't have a single unflattering shot.

    For me there are a ton of amazing things about working with Alex but my #1 has got to be the fact that he doesn't ask for cheesy shots. We've all seen it, the same wedding pose you see time and time again where the couple looks so awkward and uncomfortable because they would never pose like that in real life; it usually includes some sort of lying or leaning on one another. Yeah, we didn't want that and Alex never directed us to do anything like that. Now if you want that, you certainly can ask him to up the cheese and Im positive he will be able to deliver but thats not his go to. He wants real photos that show love and comfort and happiness and he captures the essence of a couple, not just on their wedding day, but how they live their life together.

    Alex's photography is epic, our wedding photos are epic. Book Alex! Don't hesitate!

    Booking Alexander Rubin Photography was one of the best wedding decisions I made. I have a very unique and particular personal style, and I wanted to capture really dramatic images during my wedding, especially given my coral pink wedding dress. I spent hours going through other local photographers, who did have beautiful photos, but they were all very posed and traditional. As soon as I viewed Alex's portfolio on his website, I knew within 30 seconds that I was going to book him. We got to meet Alex for an engagement photo session, and he was lively, friendly, and so professional. He was so flexible with what we wanted and suggested great locations for us to shoot at. On the wedding day, Alex and his associate, Rachel, were so amazing. They came early, got all of the photos I requested, and I was blown away by our dramatic wedding preview photos; I couldn't have been happier. Many of my friends told me the images looked like they were straight out of a magazine. I like how versatile Alex is (commercial/editorial/wedding photography)- he has so much variety that you are destined to have amazing photos. I would recommend him to anyone!

    I'm obsessed with Alexander Rubin Photography! I would recommend him to anyone in the area looking for someone incredibly talented, thoughtful (he is so much more than a photographer) and also fun!!! I treasure our photos and look at them all the time -- it brings me right back to the day and we hit a home run finding Alexander!! THANK YOU!

    I cannot write enough about Alex. Thanks to him I had an amazing day that he was truly integral in making happen. He arrived early, always good, and it just got better from there. I think the standard group pictures are always hard to make anything other than required yet I love all of mine and they capture a lot more than just us standing there with different family and friends. He also let me try to pull off some really ridiculous photo ideas such as sitting in a tree!

    However this doesn't even come to close to what he managed to achieve during the dinner. We had our dinner in a wine cave and with the way the tables are there is a limited amount of space I didn't even realize he was going to be in the cave. Alex was not only there but was not remotely intrusive and thus I have fantastic photos of people just having fun as opposed to posing. I also have to mention that he filled a few wine glasses!

    To sum up I would never hire anyone else even if I had to fly Alex to where the event was.

    One more thing if you want you dog in your wedding he is definitely who you want!

    So, one more time, Alex thank you for making a long awaited day absolutely perfect and pictures that I look at and they make me laugh and cry!

    Alex will make you feel extremely comfortable and only add more positive energy to an already momentous occasion. He's a great host alongside an amazing photographer. The finished products of our wedding were out of this world. They looked like shots for an editorial in a magazine. All our friends that had already gotten married were totally pissed that they didn't know about Alex in advance. My advice to anyone who is planning on hiring Alex - DO IT.

    Incredibly in tune with the desires of you, the client, and goes the extra mile to assure the photos are more than one could imagine. Priceless!

    Simply the best. Alex is unquestionably a top-tier photographer which sets him apart from most of his competition. However, what places him alone at the top of the wedding photography trade is his ability to combine his impressive photography skills with his exceptional people skills. A good photographer can capture great moments on film, but the best photographers are able to skillfully connect with their subjects (no matter how diverse) to help inspire some of the great moments. In our case we ended up with hundreds of amazing moments captured on film, many of which were inspired by Alex. We know first hand how much work goes into planning a wedding and selecting vendors is a big component of that work. Spare yourself several hours of work interviewing photographers and go with Alex. We're confident you won't be disappointed. Lorilee & Brad Schmidt

    Alex was a ton of fun to work with. He sees beauty in small moments and captures it, and also has a knack for pulling your surroundings into a photo in a really creative way. What I appreciated most about Alex was his go-with-the-flow style. I suspect there was a ton of hustle going on on his end during our wedding, but from where I was standing, it seemed effortless.

    Rubin Photography did a wonderful job capturing our most precious wedding moments. He and his assistant were fun to work with. They were very effective being exactly where they needed to be throughout the ceremony and reception without me even realizing they were there taking pictures. Both my husband and I are very satisfied with their work.

    He was wonderful and immediately put us at ease. We sometimes say we should get married again just so we can have him take more photos. Couldn't be happier we went with him!

    Alexander Rubin Photography's reply:

    Andrea,

    It was so fun working with you both and I LOVE your photos! Thanks so much for choosing me as your photographer!

    Alex was very professional and took beautiful photos of our wedding. I was particularly touched not only by his photography skills but also by his caring personality. When I had spilled red wine on my dress, without any hesitation, Alex jumped right in to help me clean it up. He definitely went above and beyond as our photographer!

    Alex was amazing! Not only does he have a fabulous eye, but he is beyond creative! He works hard to catch innovative shots while telling your story - he doesn't just catch the typical wedding photos. He was a pleasure to work with from the initial meeting, engagement session, pre-wedding consultation, wedding day and now post-wedding as well pick out our photos for our book. We couldn't have been happier with how our pictures have come out. Alex is the best there is!

    We had a simple wedding but I wanted the photography to be superb since it is through that lens that your memories are immortalized. Alex was never obtrusive but rather part of the background and part of the party at the same time. His ability to capture the essential players and moments of that day combined with the absolute artistry if his composition exceeded my hopes of capturing such a memorable experience in our lives. I am so grateful to have the beautiful storybook of images from that day. Highly recommend using Robin Photography! .

    Rubin Photography is the best. Alex Rubin was professional from start to finish and best of all the photos are amazing. The photographers were comfortable to work with and really made the photo process easy and fun.

    The photo slide show is beautiful and made me cry when i saw it for the first time after the honeymoon.

    Love everything about Rubin Photography and would recommend them to anyone. Yes the cost is not the cheapest you can find but if you want photos that you will love and cherish forever they are perfect.
