About Alex

Photography is my
love language.

Since 2009, I've had the privilege of capturing the stories of 500+ couples worldwide. I'm the founder and photographer at RedSphere Studios, a boutique wedding photography studio based in San Francisco.

My style is best described as elevated documentary. I specialize in making unscripted moments look incredible. My background is in filmmaking, so I photograph weddings like a documentary film director. I anticipate and pre-visualize scenes, think in sequences, and understand the role light and composition play in telling a compelling story.
