Alon David Photography

Yesterday we did our engagement shoot with Alon and it was such fun! He makes you feel very relaxed while being efficient with his time! He gave us great direction but also let us make it our own. He knew exactly how to get the perfect shot while working with multiple backgrounds and types of lighting. Even when there were distractions in the back he knew how to make it work! We had two locations, Balboa Park and Windansea Beach. He knew both locations so well and the photos speak for themself. About 2 hours after he already had a couple photos up for us to see which we love! and we can’t wait to see the rest of them! We highly recommend working with Alon David Photography and can’t wait until he photographs our wedding day! :)

Alon shot our wedding and I’m so thrilled with how they turned out. He really knows what he’s doing, made everything quick and painless, and was flexible with our requests. Alon was recommended to me by the venue where we did the wedding– I’m so happy they led me to him. Maya was also so helpful and sweet. I’d absolutely recommend them to anyone.

I cannot say enough positive things about Alon and his team. This was a big Indian wedding with a lot of people and lots of events occurring at the same time. Along brought along another photographer and a videographer, and they were incredibly accommodating, but also helped us stay on time and stay organized. In addition to taking great photos (I’ll discuss this in a minute), they helped us stay calm, on time, and continued to remind us to have fun and enjoy the moment. Without them, our wedding day would not have been nearly as memorable or wonderful.
The pictures — wow! For about 12 hours of shooting, we received 5000 pictures! It was a wonderful experience to relive the day through Alons pictures. Not only were the vast majority of the pictures we received in-​focus and appropriate (I think 5000 was what remained after some were filtered out), but nearly every one had either captured or attempted to capture the emotions of the people in that moment. Subtle smiles, a twinkle in the eye, faces filled with laughter and joy, they were all amazing. i cannot remember the last time I saw so many pictures of my family and loved ones all with such happiness and contentment on their faces. My wife and I made an evening of viewing each of the photos and selecting those that we thought were most beautiful and would like to see included in the photo album (which Alon kindly threw in for free).
I cannot say enough fantastic things about Alon. He is truly more than just a photographer — he is an artist who captures people’s emotions through his lens. You would not regret hiring him for your wedding, engagement, family portraits, or any other occasion.

Working with Alon was absolutely wonderful! The pictures he took for my wedding were breathtaking! I could not be happier with how they all turned out! In addition to being an amazing photographer working with him was great! He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed. He managed my big family, with lots of children, with ease which isn’t easy. I highly recommend him and know my family will continue to work with him in the future

Alon was amazing. He did a photo shoot for our company’s website and the pictures were amazing! Service was great and he was so understanding and patient with us. Thanks again! :)

Alon is a true professional! Not only did he come through in a flash (pun intended) to take photos of our event but the images were picture perfect! If you are looking for a photographer with an eye for perfection and a passion for his profession, look no further than Alon David Photography. I couldn’t recommend him more to beautifully capture your best moments! Truly a pleasure to work with him!

Alon continues to amaze us with his talent and style. He is a master of capturing a moment or a feeling in a single shot, and turning it into beautiful art. He was the photographer at our wedding nearly 4 years ago, we just had our maternity photos taken by him, and we will be using him for all our future family photos. There is definitely a difference when you are working with a true professional like Alon because mother nature can throw you for a loop, but a great photographer will get the shot regardless. It was pouring rain at our wedding, and all the pictures turned out spectacular. For our maternity photo session, we were running out of sunset, but Alon knows his lighting, and stayed longer to get the perfect shots because he knew how important they were to us. All the photos turned out incredible. Thank you Alon for helping us capture the celebrations and milestones in our lives, and we look forward to many more wonderful photo sessions with you in years to come!

Alon is a great photographer who makes sure that as a client you get more than what you expect. His attention to detail is superb. During the photoshoot with the groom and groomsmen he notices small details like the cell phones in our front pocket or buttoning the jacket up. The photos came out great and proofs were quickly available to view online making the process so much easier. I highly recommend Alon for your photography needs.

We just had an engagement session with Alon and had the best time! He did an amazing job on our photos! We are having such a hard time picking just a few to order. If you are looking for a great photographer that is fun to work with and does an incredible job, he is your man!

He is a great photographer, but not a «people person». He was aloof, impersonal and terse. We saw the reviews on Unilocal,mostly about his photog skills, but also a few warning of his personality deficiencies. What the heck I thought, I’m an outgoing never meet a stranger type of person, people find it hard to be aloof with me. I’m like the annoying puppy that wont go away so eventually you give in and just pet me. That’s me. But I’ll be darned, he was no small talk, no smiles and all business. Its hard to smile and «look happy» when the photographer is not engaging. He barely gave us any direction at all. We were mostly posing on our own and he took pictures. We decided to go with another photographer for our wedding because our family is super social but also loud. They will get ignant when they sense someone is not being treated right.

We’ve got married about 8 months ago and Alon David and his staff took care of us and made our special day to be unforgettable. Alon was very patient with us and very professional. He gave us a lot of attention and guide us through the whole process. Our wedding album and our wedding photos came out amazing ! I will defiantly recommend to take Alon David and his staff as your photographer for your special event. You won’t regret it!

We hired Alon to take our headshots at work. They came out great! His work is amazing! Everybody was so happy with how their photos came out. They are now up on our website!

We hired Alon for your wedding and I really enjoyed working with him! We had a lot going on and it was a stressful time– in addition to planning the wedding we were planning a cross-​country move, and my husband was studying for the bar exam (which he finished 3 days before the wedding– then we spent the next day packing, etc).
I was worried about finding a good photographer, but from the moment I spoke to Alon on the phone I felt at ease with him. I am a shy person, so this was very important to me to find someone I felt comfortable with.
I saw his portfolio and photos on display at the wedding venue, and loved the photos right away. He called me back right away after I sent an inquiry via his website. He was also very quick to answer my questions and work within our time constraints and budget. We were super busy but I wanted my husband to meet Alon too so Alon actually came to us and met with us in person a week before the wedding– with only a day notice. He was very accommodating the whole time and we definitely want to have him as the family photographer once we are back in California in 2 years.
Alon also helped take charge the day of the wedding– things were a bit hectic but he really helped things go smoothy (in addition to taking photos the whole time). He was so helpful, on time, efficient, and to the point (which I very much appreciated). He was definitely an integral part of making our wedding day a success!
Thank you Alon! We will see you again once we are back in California!

Alon has such a natural eye for what he does and we are so grateful! Words cannot express how wonderful the wedding pictures are and how talented and professional Alon is. We will definitely be recommending Alon David Photography to all of our friends and family when it’s their turn to get married. Thank you again for everything!

Still a great photographer with excellent service. Alon is essentially our family photographer at this point. We have probably done 4 – 5 sessions with him over the last 4 years or so trying to do at least one formal set of pictures per year. His prices are completely reasonable and we always get many pictures that we are ecstatic about. He is very flexible on locations and timing and is GREAT with our little kids!
I highly recommend Alon for any photography needs!

WTF! Ok now that I have your attention :) I found Alon on Unilocal!I read his reviews which then I checked out his website and was blown away by his photos. I’m not going to lie when my husband and I initially went to go meet him to discuss package and pricing we didn’t expect to book right then and there. After meeting Alon and seeing his photos we were blown away and couldn’t book fast enough! on the day of my wedding he came earlier than expected and set up and was ready to work. He was so easy to get along with and we all had a great time working with him. The day after the wedding he immediately posted a photo he had taken and it was amazing. My family and friends were blown away and thought it came out of a magazine! I can not wait to see the rest of the photos and I am very happy that we went with Alon for our pictures! I am going to use him for maternity pics, family photos you name it! I am beyond happy :)

Alon did an amazing job on my wedding last month. I knew he would be great since he did my mother’s wedding two years ago but now. OMG. My mother didn’t get quite the large package I did but man I am happy I did.
Amazing photos, so many that we love. In fact we are ordering several professional prints from Alon to create a gallery wall in our home.
Alon is professional, on time, full of ideas to get photos you would of never thought of and I promise you will be like me and want to have them all in your album. Alon took over 2700 photos of our wedding and I loved over 500 of them. Not liked, love people.
Do yourself a favor and hire Alon.

I used Alon’s services for our engagement and wedding photos. He is great to work with and very talented. He had some great shots and really has an eye for great photography. I live in LA but we had a destination wedding in Cabo San Lucas, as he’s a destination wedding photographer it was perfect he traveled and was very talented at a great price! I highly recommend Alon David’s services for your engagement or destination wedding!

I was so confident about Alon that I was going to write the review before we got the photos. Based solely on the experience with Alon on the day, and a sneak preview slideshow we got given as a nice surprise and teaser, we knew the photos were going to be amazing, and they are. In summary, we couldn’t have been happier with the photos. We have a great mix of formal/​family, candid, and some stunning bayside shots. The bayside photos are completely unique and are the kind of thing you see in a magazine. You imagine these shots would take hours and hours to do, with 5 people and 3 tons of equipment behind the camera, but somehow, Alon managed to make even us look like movie stars with just a single camera and no other props at all.
In addition, Alon was willing to work with my budget. Anyone planning a wedding knows the financial dent a wedding can make. Especially when the couple doesn’t have mommy and daddy Rockefeller for parents. Anyway, Alon was as kind enough to understand that and work with us financially.
I can’t rave enough on how beautiful the pictures he produces! You only have so many times in your adult life where you can howl at the moon. Your wedding is one of those few occasions. I am so happy that I hired Alon as my photographer as I know I will have photographs that I know I will love and cherish!

Alon and his team recently shot our engagement session and our wedding a few weeks ago. Since we opted out of having a videographer for our wedding, we knew that finding the right photographer would be extremely important to help us capture our big day. After viewing Alon’s work online, we knew that we had our guy.
From the beginning of our engagement, we knew we liked Alon because he was very responsive and also showed that he enough spunk to to take charge of any situation. After attending and being in many weddings over the years, we both knew these were key traits we had to look for. We’ve heard plenty of horror stories where the newlyweds didn’t get their photos until way after the fact and also have been in situations where the photographer seemed overwhelmed by the personalities in the wedding which yields poor results IMO. He proved to be able to do just that… we received our raw photos almost immediately after our shoots, and the edited work was quickly compiled and turned back to us. Also, throughout the wedding, he effectively managed our time and directed us to getting all the awesome footage we had wished for and more.
Another plus with working with Alon was that he is flexible with different payment options. As any newly-​wed planning for weddings can attest, this is something that you’ll greatly appreciate. A lot of vendors require check or cash payments, the fact that credit was accepted was extremely helpful to alleviate some burden as we were saving up cash for the rest of our wedding. Also, a wedding planner friend of ours had provided us a mock budget for quality photographers, so we knew that Alon came in at the right price point.
But most importantly, the quality of work spoke for itself. Alon and his team’s dedication to their craft is evident, the attention to detail and experience really shines and we were really satisfied with how everything turned out. Alon and his assistant Jesse are great at what they do and Alon’s wife, Maya, also did a killer job compiling really nice high quality photo albums which we loved. We ended up using our engagement Photo Album as our guest signing book per Alon’s suggestion, which worked fantastically.
All in all we were extremely pleased from all aspects and would definitely recommend them to anyone considering their services!
