real life, honestly cinematic.

About Alex
I’m Alex, a Dutch-born photographer based in Brooklyn, documenting weddings, elopements, and couples across New York City.
My approach is equal parts observation and direction. I’m not waiting for moments to happen, and I’m not forcing them either. I read what’s in front of me, give a prompt when it helps, and step back when it matters.
The result is work that feels lived-in rather than performed. Warm, textured, and human, shaped by both digital and 35mm film.

For couples who want to look like themselves.
the work
WEDDINGS
ELOPEMENTS
COUPLES
Documentary in spirit. Cinematic in execution.
Guided when it helps, never over-directed.
— Shannon Troy
“Neither my husband nor I have any understanding of how to pose or be in front of a camera… our wedding photos look like an editorial magazine shoot. Alex is relaxed and fun to work with, and he made us look as happy and special as we felt on that day.”
