Alex Kaplan

I’m Alex Kaplan — a wedding and event photographer based in New Milford, New Jersey, serving NYC and Northern NJ.

My specialty is keeping things calm and moving, so you get real moments and natural portraits without feeling awkward, stiff, or staged.

I’ve been doing this for 30+ years. Couples hire me because they want calm direction, clean natural images, and a smooth experience—not chaos, not forced posing, and not trendy edits that won’t age well.

What I help couples with

Wedding day coverage with real emotion and strong storytelling

Guided portraits that still feel natural (even if you “hate being photographed”)

Timeline help so you’re not rushed — and you actually enjoy your day

Proposal + engagement sessions that feel easy and not awkward

Why clients trust me

30+ years as a working professional photographer

610+ five-star Google reviews

A calm, guided approach that keeps the day running smoothly

Clean, natural results — not heavy or fake-looking editing

Reliable turnaround and a clear process from booking to delivery
