Alexandra Roberts Photography

I cannot imagine a better wedding photographer than Alex. She is incredibly friendly, genuine and is just a wonderful person to be around, which is especially welcome on a wedding day. It doesn’t exactly hurt that her photographs are stunning and provide a real sense of an event. After the guests at our wedding saw her photographs so many of them indpendently told me how much her shots captured the emotions and feeling of the day. Her website says that she is a photographic storyteller and that is completely true, her photographs of our wedding are not only beautiful but they are emotionally transportive — somehow looking at them brings my (now) wife and I back to that day in an almost physical way. Her pictures are exactly what we were looking for and we could not be happier!
Alex came down to Washington D.C. for our engagement shoot and we had the best time with her. Getting to spend a day focused on taking photographs, going to places you love and doing things you enjoy as a couple is great in and of itself, but doing that in the middle of planning a wedding allows you take a step back and remember all the wonderful reasons you’re getting married in the first place. Alex got my wife and I used to having someone take our picture, and we became very comfortable with her. This made all of our wedding pictures, and many of our engagement shoot pictures, feel so personal because we felt so comfortable with her. If Alex lived in D.C. I would definitely try to be friends with her — she’s awesome.
On the day of the wedding she could not have been more helpful — she went through the entire house where we were having the wedding and took stock of where everything was. When I couldn’t find a stack of photographs and asked a room full of the bridal party if anyone had seen them Alex piped up (I didn’t even realize she was there) and led me to exactly where they were. That was just one of the many great moments she provided on the best day of my life, and I will forever be grateful and feel very lucky to have had her as our wedding photographer.

We are so lucky to have had Alex take both our engagement and wedding photographs. Just as others are saying, she’s incredibly talented, passionate, and relaxed — all traits I really valued having in a photographer. In our very first conversation, Alex and I bonded over our strict rules for not doing the same ol’, same ol’, and that’s exactly what we got: The photographs we now have really capture the real essence of my new hubby and me together, in a non-​stuffy, cool, and authentic way. It’s not every day you have someone following your every move and taking pictures of you, but we both felt very comfortable with her, and HIGHLY recommend her work to anyone. We’re so happy with it all, and we can’t wait to work with her again.

Alex is such an amazing photographer. James and I were so glad to have her capture our wedding. Her stealthy intimate photo-​shooting caught so many wonderful moments. Some of our favorite shots were of the little pieces that made up the environment.
I also appreciated her extra hands when we needed someone to hold my shoes!
She is a delightful person to talk with and a well grounded professional photographer. James and I highly recommend Alex!

This review is a couple months overdue and very much deserved as Alex did an AMAZING job with our engagement photos! My fiancé and I found Alex through a good friend of mine who works with her at their daytime gig in front-​end web development. My friend told me about her crazy talented coworker who just recently started doing wedding photography on the weekends because it is such a passion of hers… we were totally sold as soon as we saw some of her work. Alex’s photos are completely natural looking, not the sometimes cheesy or posed looking engagement shots. And she is awesome at capturing that amazing late afternoon sunshine glow that I love sooo much (you wedding blog readers know exactly what I’m talking about, this lighting is super flattering and romantic!).
We had know idea what to expect on the day of our shoot downtown and honestly we were a bit nervous (after all it’s not everyday you kiss and cuddle up in public with your fiancé while someone takes your pic!), but Alex immediately put us at ease. We walked all over Boston just chatting with each other and Alex, people watching and enjoying the gorgeous fall day… all while she took our pics. We had so much fun and it wasn’t more than an hour after we got home that Alex posted a sneak peek on Facebook. We were completely BLOWN AWAY with even just those five pictures! Alex captured us at our very best…100% relaxed, happy, and in love… exactly how you want to look in your engagement photos! And that was just a preview of things to come because maybe two weeks later (amazingly quick turnaround I’m told by my other engaged friends who have waited months for their engagement pics) Alex send over the rest of our pics, all of which are equally fabulous. Our families were so excited to finally have some nice pics of us in our adopted city and now we’re finding it’s so tough to pick favorites as we use them on our wedding website and such.
To sum things up, we are so thankful for the beautiful photos that Alex took for us; we’ll cherish them forever. The fact that she is easy to work with and affordable is just the icing on the cake.

When my brother and his fiancée experienced one too many unbelievable setbacks with their impending wedding, I stepped in to help manage it and I found Alex at the last minute (hardly two weeks before the wedding). From the very beginning and through the day itself, she never ceased to be helpful, friendly, flexible and good-​natured about the craziness of the situation. We hired her to shoot just the ceremony, and it was supposed to be outdoors; but the day dawned to torrential downpours and it had to be moved inside. Alex adapted wonderfully and took some absolutely stunning shots – and when the rain let up a bit after the ceremony, we still got to have some natural light shots outside the building. Her ability to go from one setting to another with no warning was so appreciated.
More important than anything else, though, my new sister in law (like most of us) tends to not like photos of herself and was very apprehensive about having a photographer at all. But she LOVES Alex’s work from her wedding day. There is one photo from the ceremony of my sister in law’s face during the vows that literally brought tears to my eyes when I saw it the first time – as my mom said when she saw it, «It’s like you’re looking right into her soul». All the aspects of the day that Alex shot, from the bride and groom to the bottles of champagne to the hand-​made signs, have been captured with such loving detail. They will be treasured for years and years.
While she’s an experienced photographer, Alex is still relatively new to the wedding scene; but if she hadn’t told me herself, I never would have guessed. For her technical skill, kindness, and flexibility (on everything from budget to lighting), I couldn’t recommend working with Alex more highly.
