WHAT COUPLES SAY ABOUT US
Over the years, we’ve had the honor of capturing countless weddings and engagements throughout Orange County and Southern California. Hearing back from our clients is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do. Their kind words not only bring us joy but also help other couples understand the value of our work. Below you’ll find a collection of real reviews from couples who trusted us to capture their most meaningful moments!

Katrina & Drew Poland
Where do I even begin! From the moment we received our sneak peek photos, we were completely in awe. Alex captured our day more beautifully than we ever could have imagined. Looking through our photos truly feels like reliving the best day of our lives all over again.
He has such an incredible gift for capturing not only the big moments, but all of the little ones in between. The emotions, the laughter, the happy tears, and so many moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Every photo feels so genuine and so us, and we will cherish them for the rest of our lives.
Beyond his incredible talent, Alex was such a special part of our wedding day. He made us feel completely comfortable and kept us laughing all day. Nothing ever felt forced or awkward. After the wedding, so many of our family and friends commented on how amazing he was, which says so much about the kind of person he is.
Choosing your wedding photographer is such a big decision because these photos are what you get to hold onto long after the day is over. We truly could not imagine anyone else capturing ours and will forever be grateful to Alex for giving us the most beautiful way to remember the best day of our lives.
We truly cannot recommend him enough!
Mary Zumbro Nava
Having Alex & Val do the photography and videography on our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made.
They captured the abundance of love on the day effortlessly. Our gallery was full of beautiful candid moments and family photos we will treasure for the rest of our lives.

I am soooo happy with the results. It is everything we wanted for our wedding photos! I am in love!
Michelle
We had the pleasure of working with Italiantsev for both our engagement photos and our wedding day, and we couldn't be happier with our experience. We booked their 8-hour wedding photography/videography package along with an engagement session, and everything from start to finish was seamless.
Before our wedding, I put together a slideshow with a lot of inspiration photos and specific shots I hoped to recreate. They took the time to review everything and did an amazing job incorporating those ideas while still making the photos feel natural and unique to us. They were also wonderful at guiding us through poses, which made us feel comfortable in front of the camera even though we're not used to being photographed.
As a husband-and-wife team, they worked together effortlessly throughout the day. They were organized, professional, and captured so many special moments without ever feeling intrusive. We always felt like we were in good hands.
If you're looking for a photography and videography team that truly listens to what you want, communicates well, and delivers beautiful memories, we highly recommend Italiantsev. We're so grateful they were part of our wedding day!
Antonio Pasimio
Alex and his team were amazing throughout our entire wedding process. From the engagement photos to the actual wedding day, my wife and I could not have asked for a better team. They have excellent communication and are experts and making you look your best. I'm definitely recommended them to all my friends and family. They're definitely our go to for any future events.

Alex and Val, you absolutely killed it with our Halloween-themed wedding! 🎃👻 It wasn’t your typical wedding, and you guys totally nailed the vibe-spooky, fun, and full of personality. Alex came up with the coolest ideas to capture the mood, and Val’s videos brought all the eerie magic to life. Your work is next-level, and we’re obsessed with how you turned our wild vision into stunning memories. Wishing you both endless success-you’re the real MVPs! 🖤✨

Julia
From the very beginning, we took choosing our wedding photographer and videographer very seriously. We didn’t want staged photos with unnatural smiles—after all, these are memories for a lifetime. I looked at the work of so many photographers, but nothing felt right. Then our friends recommended Alex and Val, and my girlfriend even gifted us a love story session. It was so much fun and felt so natural! 😊
We knew right away they were the perfect fit for us. Alex and Val made us feel so comfortable, which is the most important thing. The photos and videos are full of life, emotions, and genuine feelings—there’s nothing to critique! Every moment, from getting ready to the ceremony and the walk (even though we didn’t have much time for it), was captured perfectly. And the banquet footage? Absolutely fire! 🔥
Even our guests couldn’t stop raving about the photos and videos. Alex and Val went above and beyond, delivering everything we wanted and more. We’re so grateful for their talent and dedication. In fact, we loved their work so much that we entrusted them with another important event in our lives—our child’s baptism. 💕
We’re sure this won’t be the last time we work with Alex and Val. They’re simply the best!
Shiv Patel

Meena Patel
We searched high and low for the perfect photographer and videographer, and we’re so glad we found Alex and Val. From the very first meeting, they proved to be total pros with such positive vibes. Our love story shoot was so easy and fun—it felt like hanging out with friends! 😎
The photos and videos turned out absolutely bombastic! Alex even put together a slideshow for our wedding day (though, due to some tech hiccups, we couldn’t show it). But honestly, the wedding itself was so touching and beautiful, and Alex and Val made sure not a single moment was missed. They worked their magic alongside the second shooter, and the results were pure fire. 🔥
Plus, they got the pics and footage to us super fast, all loaded up on a cool flash drive. If you’re a bride (or groom!) looking for an amazing team, Alex and Val are your go-to. Highly recommend—they’re the real deal!

Alex is an absolute miracle! And his work is an absolute miracle! We giggled through the whole photo session, and parted not as with the photographer, but as with an old friend! Next to Sasha it is easy to be with yourself!

It is not the first time and not the first year I work with Alexander. Always easy, fun, professional, fast, the child is not shy, Alexander disposes to himself. I advise 👌🏻
Nata
Alexander conquered from the first moment! As a mother of the bride I was very worried about the photo shoot. But from the first minute I realized that I didn’t rely on my children’s choice for nothing! The photo is super, Alexander as if our old acquaintance. Very responsive, and most importantly a professional! Thank you again!
Aleksandra
So many emotions from the photos! Sasha is a master of his craft! I have never had such a photo session to convey the mood around, and now — voila! We will revisit these photos for a long memory and, of course, we can’t help but share them on social networks).

Ksenia
San, thank you so much for your work🔥 with you it’s very easy to relax in front of the camera, even Andrew, who does not like to be photographed at all. Easy approach and just our man, with cool jokes. I don’t even doubt about the photos, I’m sure in your professionalism🤗🤗
Evgeniy
We were delighted with the result of the photographer’s work, the pictures are just magical! And the process itself was very calm, pleasant, there were no strict instructions or “setting” in the right poses. Sasha works very professionally, creates a warm and friendly atmosphere of cooperation, delicately directs in the right direction. His idea of evening shooting on the beach under the setting sun, next to our favorite lighthouse Sasha embodied flawlessly.Thank you, guys, for helping to make this day unforgettable! I recommend to contact only you
