A WORD FROM YOUR WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER
I am Alex, a Wedding Photographer based in Rochester, MN, but I work mostly in Minneapolis, Saint Paul, MN, and the Metro Area. For the past twenty years, I have been lucky enough to cover thousands of US and EU weddings. Each wedding is unique, and there’s a new story to tell each time. Do your heart and your gut tell you I could immortalize your story? Then contact me, let’s discuss your wedding dream, and I will happily do my best to chronicle this moment. I guarantee my professional service will satisfy you, or I will refund your money. Don’t fear my French accent (my spouse would say it’s lovely); contact me.
Where do we start?! ALEX IS AMAZING! Not only his artistic ability, but his easygoing nature really made our day that much more special. We ended up getting behind in the morning and he just rolled with it. You would think we would lose out on the quality of pictures, because we were rushing a bit, but not with ALEX! I you’re looking for someone to capture raw moments on your big day and not posing all the time, he is your guy! He is, like they say, a ninja! Artistic, talented, funny, and magical! Book him, you will not be disappointed!

Alex is an incredible photographer! When we first discovered his website, we felt that his photos were magazine quality. He is kind, flexible, and always accommodating. He is quick to answer any emails and questions. He never seemed flustered, no matter how behind schedule we were. He worked very well with our young nieces and nephews and made everyone laugh. We are so happy with all the pictures from our wedding day. They are very creative and polished. He took candid pictures of all the guests, which captured their personalities nicely. These were really nice to look back at since the day goes by so quickly. I couldn’t ask for a better person to capture our big day!

I would give Alex 10 stars if I could! We used him for our engagement pictures and he will also be taking our wedding pictures. First of all, his pictures are beautiful! He is a true artist! He also went out of his way to travel to the restaurant where we had first met at the end of a long engagement session – he truly went above and beyond to get the pictures that we wanted!!! He really put our entire family at ease (including my step daughter and little dog) and made the session fun and relaxing. I would recommend him to anyone and I will hire him for any family pictures in the future!

He takes photography very seriously and approaches it like a consummate artist. I needed international passport photos, and FedEx as well as other passport agencies were either unwilling or unable to adjust their process to meet the specific requirements. Alex did the research and recalibrated his studio to match the exact criteria. Even though it was just a perfunctory ID photo, he still made sure it was artistically polished. Highly recommended.

Our engagement shoot at the MN Capitol Building was so fun. My partner can be pretty awkward in photos, and Alex did a great job of catching genuine smiles/laughs. At our wedding - even better! All of our guests were raving about how much they enjoyed the photographer. Such a perfect mix of beautiful moments, silly faces, and artistic photos. I can't thank Alex enough for how in depth our planning calls were! We are currently living out of state, but were planning a ceremony at Como Zoo garden, reception at The Copper Hen, and some extra photos at MIA. Alex was thorough with giving us guidelines for what would help him capture quality photos, ensuring he understood what moments/images we wanted, and even discussing details that helped with our overall wedding planning. Highly recommend!

Alex was our photographer for our wedding this past June, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. From the very beginning, he was incredibly thorough—walking us through his process, sharing example photos, and making sure we felt confident every step of the way.
During our engagement session and on the big day itself, Alex was professional, attentive, and made us feel completely at ease. The photos we received after the wedding were absolutely beautiful—we’re genuinely thrilled with how they turned out.
Many of our guests commented on how friendly and skilled he was throughout the day. If you're looking for someone who’s not only talented but also genuinely invested in capturing your special moments, Alex is your guy. We highly recommend him!

He truly takes photography to another level and his relentless work ethic to capture the perfect shot is so admirable. He is a gem, and he makes the photo sessions so comfortable, relaxed and his sense of humor puts everyone at ease. It is an honor and privilege to highly recommend Alex for any and all of your photography needs in the future!

On our wedding day, the photos were one of the few things I was genuinely not worried about turning out after seeing our engagement photos - and how pleased we were when we saw the final results! We wanted subtle, authentic moments captured, and that's exactly what Alex did. He has a real gift for artistically capturing the most ordinary scenes. He traveled for our wedding and worked with last minute changes. Incredible photos. Do yourself a favor and just book French Touch Photography, you won't regret it.

My husband feels self-conscious in front of the camera, but Alex really helped make us both feel comfortable (and get great photos) both at our engagement session and at the wedding. Surprisingly, we both had a blast at the engagement session - we didn't expect to laugh so much! Alex also worked really hard to make our wedding day seamless. He helped in preparing a timeline that would allow us to get all of the photos we wanted and the day of he was SO helpful in keeping us on track and pulling us from the reception for sunset/special nighttime photos. We did decide to increase our photo budget so that we could work with French Touch Photography, and we are SO HAPPY we did!!! We can not recommend hiring French Tough Photography as your wedding photographer enough! His is kind, fun to be around, and flexible as well. We got married at Mayowood Stone Barn in Rochester, MN. For example photos, take a look at his website - literally all of our photos came out incredible!! You will not be disappointed!!
