Alexander Smith Stories

Weddings are such crazy events that fly past so quickly… that’s where we fit in… Capturing those big emotions and stolen moments as works of art that make you feel the day again and again.

Weddings are such crazy events that fly past so quickly… that’s where we fit in… Capturing those big emotions and stolen moments as works of art that make you feel the day again and again. Even though I’ve shot over 1400 weddings, I purposely invest myself deeply into each individual story making every wedding fresh and allowing me to capture natural, intimate and unique images that are not just pretty pictures… but works of art for you to re-live your big day in the most timeless way. Gorgeous editorial wedding photography with a dash of whimsy. Weddings are wonderful emotionally charged celebrations, so contributing an element of fun is key our photography…bringing a hilarious vibe, then candidly stealing those moments of joy in beautiful ways.

Alexander, Big Al, “Weird Al” or just Alex is a fun, kind and empathetic artist, he is a hunter of beauty and a thief of moments.

Alex has been shooting weddings for over 15 years, and still gets excited when the bride walks down the aisle and tears up during every single father/daughter dance. For me… it’s all about the story, and how I can bring my artistic eye to show off the best parts of your big day. Not just giving you pretty pictures of your wedding, but works of art that make you remember how you felt! “Love is more than a freaking kiss”
So when I tell your love story, I’m looking for the tension.

You know… that spark of anticipation before pressing your lips together. My job is to be sure that I bring the vibe to make you laugh and the artistic vision to make that joy into Art. And I know without a doubt that I was woven and spun in my mother’s womb to do this… and I LOVE IT! It just comes naturally – the anticipation of a moment and the vision to see composition and as Adam Duritz puts it “the way that light attaches to a girl”

What sets AlexanderSmith apart from the over saturated market of photographers? Well besides his very apparent sense of quality and detail, is his ability to be personable, Hhe treated us like good friends and that brought out the best in all the pictures because we were comfortable and felt safe about the photos. Secondly, when he works, he is never seen, is never in the way, to the point that when we viewed the photos afterwards we couldn’t once remember seeing him actually taking those photos. Thirdly, and most importantly, he captured moments that made us cry again. That’s special. Do we recommend him? Absolutely! You won’t find a better photographer in the country. – Wikus & Maria

Alexander, thank you! You MADE Chava and Doron’s wedding! Not only were the pictures exquisite but the vibe you brought on the day made us all so comfortable and really elevated the joy of the simcha. When my daughter first wanted to book you I thought it was WAY too expensive, but after working with you I can see you’re worth every cent! And now with my next daughter getting married… the whole family agrees that you are a non-negotiable person at her wedding! – Doron & Chava

AlexanderSmith is the most amazing wedding photographer. The quality of his photos and videos are unbelievable. Alexander has a way of making you smile and laugh naturally in order to capture the perfect photo. In addition to the quality of his work, Alexander knows nearly everything about a wedding – he provided us with so much guidance and support throughout our planning. From schedules and food to the steaming of dresses, Alexander knows it all. There is no one better! – Giullia & Gerrit
