    Engagement and Wedding Photography

    I first worked with Alvis back in 2017 when he took mine and my now husband's college graduation photos. Fast forward 7 years and when it was time for us to get married, we knew that we needed to have Alvis capture another memory for us. Alvis and his team are nothing short of professional, kind, and creative. From our engagement photos to our wedding day, every step of the process was enjoyable thanks to Alvis. Alvis has a unique ability to capture the essence of the moment and make it translate into photos. Our wedding day was busy as any other would be, but Alvis and his team kept up the energy, positivity, and made the whole day less stressful. Alvis and his team really exceeded any expectations that we had and gave us such wonderful memories to cherish forever.

    What are you waiting for??? BOOK ALVIS!!

    I got referred to Alvis for engagement and wedding photos from a client of mine and I'm so happy I went with Alvis! I love how his style is on the colorful and brighter side because that's what I wanted. Lots of photographers are doing the moody, sunset, orangey edits right now and it's not really my thing haha. So Alvis definitely stood out among everybody with his bright and vibrant edits!

    Engagement shoot: Alvis recommended to shoot at 123Farms so we could have a lavender farm background for our pictures. It also rained heavy in the beginning of 2023, so the farm looked gorgeous since everything was BLOOMING! Honestly, couldn't have been happier with all the pictures. It was the first time I felt so pretty Now, I'm addicted to getting professional pictures taken and I'm hiring different photographers to take pictures of me as I travel.

    Wedding shoot: Alvis and team were punctual and communicative! They hit the ground running once they got to the bridal suite. My husband and I didn't understand posing and have coordination issues, but Alvis gave detailed posing instructions for every shot, so we looked like we were born to do this Alvis and team took so many pictures of us that day and we're just appreciative for everything he and his team did for us! We can't recommend Alvis's service enough!

    Alvis and team also does videography, so it was a streamlined service! Engagement, Wedding Photography, Wedding Videography, and even Photobooths! I had a small wedding and didn't have space for a Photobooth, but trust me I was so close to getting that too haha!

    Thank you so much Alvis and team, you've definitely made our wedding memorable and I hope all my friends and anyone who reads this book with you!

    Exceptional Photography Service that Exceeded Expectations

    I recently had the pleasure of working with Alvis for our engagement photos, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results. As a gay couple, finding a photographer who understands and can capture the essence of our relationship was crucial to us. Alvis not only met but exceeded our expectations in every aspect.

    Right from the beginning, Alvis demonstrated a genuine interest in understanding our vision. He welcomed the idea of us sharing a Pinterest board to convey the specific look and feel we wanted for our photographs. This was particularly important to me, as I had concerns about a photographer not being able to pose an LGBT couple appropriately. I wanted to avoid the cliché and traditional poses that often cater to heterosexual couples, and Alvis was not only responsive to this but also skilled in translating our vision into reality.

    I was initially worried about the poses and whether they would feel forced or awkward, but Alvis effortlessly created an environment where we felt comfortable and authentic. He managed to strike a perfect balance between capturing the love and connection between us without resorting to conventional poses that might not suit our relationship.

    One of my main concerns was how I would appear in the photos. Alvis not only made us look great but also brought out the best in each of us individually. His keen eye for detail and understanding of lighting and composition truly showcased his expertise in the art of photography.

    Throughout the entire shoot, Alvis maintained a professional yet warm demeanor, making the experience enjoyable and stress-free. He created an atmosphere where we could be ourselves, and it's evident in the final results.

    In conclusion, Alvis is not just a photographer; he is an artist who understands the nuances of capturing love in all its forms and the setting in which the photos are taking place. I highly recommend his services to any couple, regardless of their orientation. Alvis goes above and beyond to deliver a personalized and exceptional photography experience that will leave you with timeless memories.

    Awesome! Couldn’t have asked for a better photographer!

    Alvis is an awesome photographer, he went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding day. We wanted a style that wasn’t too heavily edited or overly saturated and he delivered. We liked his clean and creative shots. Alvis was highly adaptive and very easy to work with. We showed him a few photos of the venue during our initial meeting and the day of our wedding he arrived early to walk the property and get inspiration for where to shoot. We loved his personality and connected with him right from the start and understood our vision. He was there the whole day and was very professional and flexible. In the hour time slot we allotted for photos he took us all the around the venue, places we have never been, to take the most creative and beautiful shots. He also took liberties, which we greatly appreciated, with shots we didn’t even think of, like a sunset shoot, shots of the decor and our rings. The photos are amazing and we would 10/10 would have him again!

    Sincerely,
    Eric (for Nhu&Eric)

    An Absolute Pleasure

    We were amazingly lucky to have Alvis as our wedding photographer. He was such a pleasure to work with! Great communication, answered all questions, very friendly and professional, and took SPECTACULAR photos! We researched many photographers before reaching out to Alvis, and I can honestly say that his work is top notch and his prices are a steal! It was noticeable how hard he had worked during our event to get the incredible shots, and we are so appreciative to have those memories captured beautifully in our photos. We are so thankful for him and his work. I wholeheartedly recommend him for any special event worth capturing on film!

    Alvis is brilliant!

    Alvis has been such a great photographer to work with from the start. We began our journey with him in 2022 for our engagement shoot. We live in Seattle, but wanted to have our shoot in Oregon near the Columbia River Gorge--Alvis was down to fly to Seattle and go on a 6-hour round-trip road trip with us to Oregon! The pictures came out great and he was able to catch the moments so beautifully despite the high winds that day.

    We also had Alvis as our photographer for our wedding and the photos came out just as beautiful as well. Seriously, he is so flexible, professional, and great at communicating with us. We never felt uncomfortable and despite being a very introverted and awkward couple, he was able to capture us perfectly.

    Absolutely amazing experience working with Alvis!

    Our wedding day was made even more memorable and beautiful, all thanks to Alvis, our phenomenal photographer! From the moment we met him, it was evident that he was not only incredibly talented but also highly efficient in his craft. Alvis arrived promptly, well-prepared, and seamlessly managed the photography schedule, capturing every significant moment with precision and finesse. He made sure to be in the right place at the right time, ensuring that no precious moment slipped away without being immortalized through his lens. Even when we were falling behind schedule, Alvis was able to rally and quickly get the shots that we needed. We were able to enjoy our day to the fullest, knowing that Alvis had everything under control.

    What truly impressed us was Alvis's ability to direct us into the most stunning poses, making us feel at ease and natural throughout the shoot. His expertise and knowledge of the best angles and lighting brought out the best in us, resulting in a breathtaking collection of photographs that we'll cherish forever. Alvis's artistic vision and keen eye for the perfect shot were evident in every image he captured. From the heartfelt candid shots to the enchanting portraits, each photo reflected the emotions and essence of our special day.

    Surprise Proposal

    We are absolutely in love with our pictures! Alvis is patient, flexible, and SUPER TALENTED!! He captured our proposal so beautifully and picked up on our vibe right away. It was a surprise proposal and he was blending in but ready to go! He was great at directing us when needed but also let us enjoy every second, making space for us to be ourselves while snapping away.

    Amazing Photographer!

    We chose Alvis (and his staff) to do our engagement and wedding photos, and videography. They really captured every important aspect of our wedding, from our happy faces during the ceremony and the joyful vibe, to the fun dancing/activities and silly moments. Alvis came back with over a thousand photos, each one beautiful and unique in its own way. Among them, I found so many gems - candid photos of us interacting with guests, guests being silly, etc. He also took some very unique, artistic photos using light/the sunset to create cool effects!

    Amazing Photographer - Zins Wedding

    Alvis did my engagement photoshoot and wedding photos. He is so sweet and both photo sets were amazing. I also would like to say that Alvis is so sweet, patient, innovative, and committed. I had to change up the location of my wedding a couple times and he was able to adjust with me. My wedding photos were so elegant and beautiful I teared up because of how beautifully he captured my wedding. I know I can look back on my wedding photos forever, and feel like he captured the most gorgeous and the best day of my life. Book him! He is AMAZING.

    Best photographer we could have asked for!

    Alvis was amazing and very professional from our very first meeting. He answered all of our questions and eased all of our concerns during the uncertain times. We were amazed by the engagement photos we got back and had a great time working with him then (he even let us bring our fur babies for a few pictures!). Our wedding day was even better than we could have imagined. We had some delays but he and his team were patient, kind and very helpful while we got all family portraits done. Our sneak peek photos are our absolute favorite and we can't wait to see the rest! Truly the best photographer and videographers we could have asked for! PS: our family and friends were also very happy and commented about how cool the team was and they were happy to chat with them throughout the day.

    Absolutely the best

    A huge thank you to Alvis for capturing our special day! It was really important for us to have pictures that were less posed and more natural. Alvis did exactly that for our engagement and wedding. He was very professional and captured all the sweet moments in the most organic way. He was also able to get all the shots we needed in a short span of time without us having to do multiple reshoots per location. Alvis was super personable and you can tell he really loves his work. Above all, he made my husband and I feel comfortable throughout the whole process of shooting.

    Absolutely Amazing!

    Where do I begin?
    We met Alvis two years ago, because of the pandemic our wedding was postponed. We picked up planning again in 2021, we had a zoom call with Alvis and it was like no time had passed since our last meeting. His personality and ability to connect with his clients is beyond amazing and I can truly say we’ve gained a new friend.
    The day of our engagement shoot we really had no idea what to expect but he made the experience enjoyable and fun. We felt more than comfortable with Alvis’s direction. After that we looked forward to working with him on our wedding day even more!
    On our wedding day Alvis and his team were amazing. The shots they captured, I will cherish them forever! Every single photo was beautiful and captured the moment perfectly. I will recommend Alvis to every person I know looking for professional photography.
    Alvis, thank you to you and your team for all the work you put in before and after our wedding. I cried while viewing our photos because they were more than I ever hoped for. You captured the most intimate moments so beautifully and I truly believe you are one of the best wedding photographers out there. Choosing to work with you to photograph our wedding was the absolute best decision. Thank you so much!

    Photos are more beautiful than I could imagine!

    We are so thrilled that we chose Alvis Pham Photography! He responds to emails promptly, and it was very seamless getting him scheduled for our wedding day. The day of, he showed up early, and took every possible picture we could want and then some! He did a great job of getting us to do different poses, and moving us around the venue so we had many beautiful backdrops. He also did a great job of adjusting the train on my dress for pictures! He is also a really nice guy. We absolutely love our pictures and keep hearing from friends and family about how beautiful our pictures are. We will definitely be booking Alvis again for any photography needs we have in the future.

    Professional. Easy to work with. Exceptional Work.

    I went with Alvis Pham Photography for a "surprise" Engagement proposal/photoshoot. They were extremely accommodating and easy to work with and the results they have put out is nothing short of amazing. To take it even further, I even asked for the video raws after everything was done and was able to clearly see how phenomenal of a job he did. I can honestly say that going to Alvis was well worth the money!

    Amazing team and photographer! Would totally recommend!

    We are so happy that we chose Alvis Photography. Alvis and his team are top notch and extremely professional. Before the big day, we sat down with Alvis and went over timelines, expectations and requirements. He helped guide us through some nuances with timing and other factors that we didn't consider. He offered a photo booth service which we used and that service itself was amazing. All the guests had a fun time taking photos and getting print outs.

    Overall, we enjoy Alvis and we recommend him for your wedding. You will not be dissapointed.

    Wedding photography and videography

    DO NOT HESITATE! Book Alvis Pham Photography now! Alvis may be on the younger side, however he shows much professionalism. We booked Alvis for our wedding more than a year in advanced. He was always responsive, flexible, and accommodating to our needs. On the wedding day, Alvis and his crew were on time ready to capture our entire day from start to finish. Our completed photos and videos were received within 2 months of our wedding and they came back beautifully. Alvis had captured over 3000 photos for us to remember forever. You won’t regret choosing Alvis as your photographer/videographer.

We were so happy with how our photos turned out. Alvis did such an amazing job at capturing all of our special moments.

    Amazed and totally obsessed!

    Where do we even begin? We are so obsessed with the wedding videos we received from Alvis and we are so happy that we decided to book his services. The videos are STUNNING. It's no joke when people say that your wedding day flashes by like a blur, so we are so happy that we had Alvis on our special day because he was able to capture moments we completely forgot about and our hearts are just so full watching our videos! Alvis was prompt in getting back to me with all of our questions and transparent about his packages and what he offers. We also booked his photobooth services and he allowed us to customize our own wedding booth photo frame to be used. Alvis and his team appeared right on time (we booked the full day video package) and I kid you not, everyone loved him and his team. Just so professional and the kind of fun young energy we needed to get our day going! Needless to say, we would choose Alvis over and over again and we will for sure be contacting him for any of our future moments that we want to be captured! Thank you thank you, Alvis!
