Amanda & Joe teaser | Koh Phangan Island, Thailand
The most awsome wedding party ever!!! The 32hr straight journey from Hawaii to Koh Phangan Island located in the gulf of Thailand was an adventure in itself but shooting all the family and friends on this little island for four days has been an overall amazing experience . It’s one of those things where you say “you just had to be there….” You know that feeling where everything in the moment feels right, thats the feeling I experienced being with these amazing people. I’ll never forget the moments where we shared smiles and laughter with each other AND to see this many people journey halfway around the world to witness this wedding is truly amazing. Congratulations to Amanda & Joe to one of the most memorable weddings I’ve ever been to and thank you thank you thank you for trusting me with my photography to shoot your wedding. 
- This was the best wedding ever! Alex you are an amazing photographer! Your talent made us all look like superstars.August 1, 2010 - 4:50 am
- Alex, I couldn't have said it better. Joe & Amanda's wedding celebration totally worth spending 30+ hours on the plane & at the airport. You are right that it was one of those "you had to be there" moments. I keep telling people it was an unforgetable event, but really can't convey into words to justify what I experienced...the families, the friends, the atmosphere, the happiness, the memories... everyone & everything was wonderful & surreal. I can't wait to see what you captured! You are a great photographer & an amazingly cool guy. Your story of how you became a photographer is inspiring-make me want to pick up a camera again. If you ever decided to relocate in the LA vicinity, let me know because I want to be your protogé =)August 4, 2010 - 4:09 am
- protégé not protogé! my french has truly failed me, but you're still awesome!August 4, 2010 - 1:05 pm
- absolutely love it! you completely captured the total feeling of our entire wedding. we cannot rave enough about you to all our friends and family. you made the whole experience so natural and effortless, yet produced amazing beautiful photos that captured our personalities and the stunning scenery. we cannot not wait to see them all! :) <3August 19, 2010 - 3:38 am
Travel Visuals
These are some random images i’ve shot over the years from plane’s windows, rooftops in los angeles, boat cruise, on top of mountains, from a car, beaches of hawaii, etc… I’ve seen some amazing things and glad to have my camera with me .
Behind the Scenes – Jennifer & Kekoa
A couple of behind the scene photo’s from Frank Amodo‘s photoshoot. Studio Red Also tagged along to capture some video. I’d have to say we exhausted all creative ideas within a 3 hour window before sunset, an amazing feat because they had to catch a plane right after the shoot. To see the aamaazing final photo’s of this day shot by Frank Amodo Click Here.
This last shot by frank amodo shows you what his clients go through to get the shot. Nobody was hurt but everyone got wet, if not by the ocean definitely by the rain. What you can’t see here is me below them shooting them from the water. There was alot of water moving and was really intense moment where the water would suck me out of the cove. Overall this is what I call a photoshoot of the year!
Kristin & Marshall | Haiku Mill – Maui
I’ve heard about this location before but always wondered what it would be like to shoot here. That day finally arrived and I really didn’t know what I was getting into. Haiku Mill in Maui is one of the most unique locations i’ve seen for a wedding. It’s filled with personality, hidden treasures and endless imagination for any type of photo opportunity. I shot along with Frank Amodo on this day and to have Kristin & Marshall be open to our ideas really help bring these images to life.

hannah & cj | waimanalo – hawaii
Congratulations to Hannah and Cj! Such an awsome laid back couple! I shot alongside with Frank Amodo on east side of the oahu islands in waimanalo. I was worried but not phased that the forecast mentioned thunderstorms all over the island on their wedding day….what thunderstorms, right? Through out the day we were blessed with perfect weather and a trusty couple who didn’t mind any ideas we had to get some awsome photos. Thank you hannah and cj for having me be a part of your wedding day!

Ann + Richard = Awsome Time!
Ann & Richard are my favorite runners in the world! Love them!! I had alot of fun shooting these two. I’ve known them for many years and they are my heros. It amazes me to witness their progression from 5k’s to 10k’s with local running clubs awhile back and now full on marathons and triahthlons. They inspire me when I get a chance to hang out and chat with these two. Congratulations Ann for finishing your first full LA Marathon and Congrats to Richard for finishing Iron Man Competition. Up next is running to the moon. Awsome time!
- Fun and beautiful!!!! :):)April 18, 2010 - 5:53 pm
