*ATTENTION PLEASE ONLY REACH OUT TO ME IF YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY SURE YOU WANT TO WORK WITH ME
I’m an independent cinematographer and photographer currently based in Saco, ME but have worked in Boston, New York, and LA. My approach to every project is to invest in it as if it were my own and to leave a distinctively personal touch. I believe even the smallest moments in life are cinematic in nature and I aim to capture your life like the movie it is.

Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with for our church wedding in October 2025.
He was with us for 12 hours on the day, arrived right on time, and was super professional. He thought ahead of every last detail and spoke to everyone he needed to in order to assure a proper set up everywhere. He was very prepared and he truly captured everything as I requested - every important moment is in both our full length 1-hour video and our 10-minute highlight reel. He did such an amazing job picking the best parts of the speeches for the highlight and choosing the perfect background song too. He even captured moments our photographer missed because they were so fast, like our first kiss. He knew I was sad about that and was so kind to send me stills of those moments too - I am so grateful for that.
What really stood out was how much extra he did for us. He even delivered a camcorder to our house for us to borrow to capture our rehearsal dinner, since he wouldn't be there that night. He also got interviews from all the important people I had listed, which meant so much to us. And on top of that, he offered to put everything on a special USB and mail it to us at the end.
Communication was amazing. He is super responsive, easily reachable, kind, and fair. There was a delay in receiving our videos, but because of that, he generously waived the remainder of our balance, which was incredibly fair of him.
The only small hiccup was that the church audio had a lot of echo due to the high ceilings, so he initially tried to alter the voices of the speakers to make it sound more clear. But it sounded a bit unnatural to me, so I asked him to leave the original audio with the echo, and he did so immediately with no issue. Any little tweak I asked for, he handled kindly and quickly.
Other than that, everything exceeded my expectations. The visuals were beautiful and the videos came out exactly as I wanted with everything fully captured. It included details like decorations, guest reactions and interactions, speeches, and of course all the other big moments.
We are so happy with our videos and would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a talented, communicative, kind and truly fair videographer. Thank you Alex for going above & beyond and capturing our wedding day so beautifully! Will definitely be recommending him to everyone!!!

We had a wonderful experience! I've never booked a photographer before but he made it so easy. Was always helpful in suggestions and knowledge. Went out of the way to make sure I knew what to look for and where he would be. Was for a surprise proposal and it went off with a hitch. The photos came out perfect! Would definitely book him again

I can’t say enough about Alex’s quality of work and professionalism. He was super responsive during the editing process and we got the final product sooner than expected! The photos he took of our family for Christmas were so well done! He was great with capturing our children “in the moment” and was super patient through the entire process! I highly recommend Alex for any videos or photos you want done!

Alex was great! Talked through our vision with us, gave us very reasonable price options, and kept open communication during the editing process. Highly recommend!!
