Your wedding day should feel like YOURS. Because it is. On one of the most important days of your life you should be as present as possible. Your family and friends are all together in one place for one day to watch you marry the love of your life. You should be able to fully experience this day. That is what I capture. I document you and the people around you being immersed in this once in a lifetime experience. I document the seen and unseen moments. The quiet ones and the beautiful ones and even the ugly criers. 

My inspiration on your wedding day is you. It's not the trends, the forced moments, rushed and performative. It's your dad crying walking you down the aisle seeing his little girl get married when according to him you were just learning to walk. It's your grandma watching her life flash before her eyes watching you move on in this stage of life as she once did. It's your best friends cutting up the dance floor. It's the peak of your relationship and all the emotions that come with it. Its purely you. My philosophy is documenting you. My approach to photography is rooted in composition, timing, and trust—allowing space for real moments while shaping a gallery that feels cohesive, elevated, and true to you.

I have also always been inspired by my mothers photos. She always brings out the photos of us when we were kids during the holidays. Its one of my favorite things we do and I hope my photos are used in the same way in the future for all my clients. 

         I started my photography journey when I had to take an art class in college as a pre-requisite. Falling in love with photography during that class created "By Alex Nena". I started off with portraits of friends which then took a very fast turn to my first wedding within a few months into buying a camera. I fell in love with capturing weddings since then. 

I have always been a lover of love and love films.  I am very inspired by old hollywood, old world and the drama of it all. I love the huge gowns, candlelight details and excessiveness.
