"Alex was wonderful to work with. She listened to what we wanted from our wedding photography and went above and beyond to make everything happen exactly how we wanted it. The day of the wedding, we could hardly notice she was there during the ceremony and she was able to take amazing pictures at just the right moments. She was so professional that our formals went by quickly and we were able to get lots of fun candid shots as well. It was also great to have a photographer that we really liked and were comfortable with because we were spending so much time together the day of the wedding. Alex is a great photographer to share your wedding day with!
We were amazed at how great the pictures came out - the quality, colors, lighting etc. She has great vision when taking pictures and I would trust her with any special occasion! We are getting such great feedback from all of our friends on our pictures. I would highly recommend Alex to photograph any wedding - she will definitely exceed your expectations as well!"

"Hi Alex,
We just finished looking through the photos. They are GREAT!! We love them! It brings back so many good memories to see them and we saw some things we didn't see that night because we were so busy and couldn't catch everything.
Thank you so much for all of your work. You did a great job of capturing the whole event. We feel so grateful to have such wonderful photos to remember our day!
Joy and Ozzie"
"Alex,
We want to thank you so much for everything. All of our wedding photos are gorgeous - it truly was very difficult to choose the ones to put in the album because they all came out so great! We can't tell you enough how grateful we are simply because you made the experience so pleasant. You made it very easy to stay lighthearted during the formal shots because you made it seem fun. I don't remember a moment of the whole night when you weren't smiling! You have such a great eye for capturing all of the right moments, and we both love the style of your photos. (Not to mention your willingness and ability to climb and contort in every which way to create your shots - very impressive!) We knew as soon as we saw our engagement photos that our wedding pictures would be stunning. You certainly didn't disappoint... We absolutely love the work you did, and we have been raving about you to all of our guests and our friends that are in the process of planning their own weddings. You were by far the best vendor that we had! Thank you again for being such an exceptional part of our special day. We will cherish your work forever, and we will continue to sing your praises around town!
Sincerely,
Charlene and Jordan Avalos"
"Alex,
Thanks again for all your hard work for us! Ryan and I took a look through (actually a few times, it was so much fun!)
I can't tell you how happy I am with all the photography and how accommodating and professional you were throughout that entire day. I'm already getting compliments on the gallery! I'll email all my friends/relatives with the link--everyone has been talking about ordering some prints!
I'm looking forward to receiving the dvd with all of the captured images--I can't wait to get going on my album design!

"Wendy and I wanted to find the perfect photographer for our wedding. After being together for nearly 18 years, we could finally get legally married in Boston, Massachusetts, where we met and fell in love in September of 1992. Wendy and I chose an intimate wedding, with only two guests: the two brides. A few months before the wedding, we began the search for our photographer. Because we live in D.C., we first browsed the Internet for the style of photography that we liked. Once we made several choices, we began conducting telephonic interviews with the prospective photographers.
As soon as we spoke to Alex on the telephone, we were impressed with her understanding of our unique circumstances and how easily she captured the vision of our long-awaited day. We were even more pleased with our decision to book Alex after we met her in person a few days before the wedding. She was delightful, lovely and knowledgeable. She gave us great suggestions, helped us find shooting locations and assisted in the logistical trajectory of our big day throughout Boston. We started at our hotel, then went to Copley Plaza, from there we proceeded to the Boston Public Library, then to our favorite spot in Boston -- the Fisk House, then we moved on to City Hall (to make it official of course), and after the wedding we went to the Commons and the Public Gardens.
Alex was on time. She took amazing pictures, both in color and B&W. Most importantly, Alex has the ability of being present and capturing every moment, while inconspicuous at the same time. Wendy and I never felt, not even for an instance, that she intruded in the intimacy or privacy of our day. Shortly after the wedding, Alex sent preview images, made suggestions for our album and was always accessible to us for conferencing. Our photographs turned out beautiful, truly exceeding our wildest expectations. Alex knew that we wanted candid photos and she delivered! We recommend Alex wholeheartedly as an exceptional photographer and a great professional. She will make your day even more amazing by giving you precious memories that will allow you to virtually relive your day forever."
Terri & Wendy
"Alex, I cannot begin to thank you enough for the wonderful job you did for my daughter Meghan's wedding. You captured every important moment for the day and then some!!! Planning the wedding was easy!! Picking the pictures for my album is truly a challenge as I want them all!!! Again, you did a wonderful job and our sincere thanks for everything!!"
-Mother of the Bride, Marianne Gaudet
"We were looking for a wedding photographer that didn't just take generic snapshots of our special day. With Alex's background in fashion photography, we hoped she would bring a different perspective to our pictures; as you can see from her web site, the results are amazing and exceeded all our expectations. She also managed to take photographs at key points during the ceremony without interfering with the course of events, something that many couples don't think about until it's too late! We would recommend Alex to anyone looking for a professional photographer who can add that 'je ne sais quoi' to some of the most important pictures you will ever have taken."
Thanks again,
Stacey & Paul

"Alex,
The album is beautiful! I almost started to cry - in a good way. Your service has been above and beyond what we expected and you have truly made our wedding memories special. I just wanted to let you know right away how happy we are with everything.
Thanks,
Stacey"
"Dear Alex,
Thank you so much for photographing our wedding! You did an amazing job. We loved both the candid and formal photos. You did everything from pick out fantastic photogenic sites as well as check to make sure everyone had a smile in the photo. You also stayed above and beyond your scheduled hours just so you could capture us on the dance floor. We've gotten so many compliments on our photos (they guess we paid twice as much)! Thank you for doing such a wonderful job.

"Hi Alex,
Thank you so much! The pictures are wonderful, really highlighting the various settings and capturing the personalities of so many of our guests! It turned out to be a lovely day for photographs, and these just capture the colors and the mood perfectly! And, of course, I love the pics that suggest our "rock star" personas!!
Thank you for the warm comments about the wedding. We, of course, had a wonderful time, and we were happy you were a part of it.
Thanks again,
Paul"

"Alex, I just wanted to let you know that everyone loved you. My mom is still talking about you climbing all over the place - she thought you were amazing. I hope all is well. Can't wait to see the pics. Talk to you soon...
Alex-
Your work is amazing!!! I love the pictures. If I had the wall space out of the 412 I would frame about 350!!! You were right on the money with each shot, the formals, the candids, the beach, the park, the reception - you are awesome!! As far as retouching I think they look perfect already. I will be in touch with you on Monday or Tuesday. Thanks again!!"
-Liz and Joey
"Our wedding day, July 21, 2007, was as perfect as we hoped it would be. Part of the success of our wedding day was thanks to our photographer, Alexandra Jarige. Not only were the pictures absolutely beautiful but the manner in which Alexandra conducted herself before and during the wedding was completely professional and put me at ease.
Believe me, it's a great feeling to have complete confidence in a vendor during your wedding day. Looking through the pictures makes us feel like we are reliving that day! All the special moments and the moments when we felt as if we were alone in the room were captured!
Thank you Alexandra for making our memories of that day so beautiful!
Sincerely,
Francisca and Andrew"
"Alex,
Thank you so much for making photography one thing we DIDN'T have to worry about on our wedding day! We were confident our photos would be beautiful (based on your past work), but the work you did exceeded even our highest expectations. The photos are gorgeous, you were an absolute pleasure to work with (before, during, and after the wedding!), and we're forever grateful for your professionalism and fantastic eye.
We will continue to enthusiastically recommend you to our soon-to-be-married friends and wish you much success & happiness. Huge thanks again,"

"Hi Alex,
I can't believe how beautiful the pictures came out! Our families can't thank you enough for the time that you spent with us and are amazed at how incredible the pictures look. Eric really loved the fact that you were our photographer.
Thank you for being so patient with us and understanding with the last minute changes. We couldn't have asked for a better person to be a part of our day.
You have such an amazing gift and talent, you make it seem easy! Again, thank you so much. I will forward your name to anyone who is looking for a photographer for their occasions as well. We are just so happy to have you share our moment with us and thank you from our hearts for all the beautiful and wonderful memories you captured."

”A few months ago, when I was planning my wedding, I did not have any idea about ALL the little details it would involve. When it was time to choose a photographer, it was a hard decision for us - especially for me, because pictures are so important. I was not just looking for a good and professional photographer. I was looking for someone who would understand what I wanted and needed for our big day. I was looking for someone to be a friend on my special day. I was looking for someone to have a great eye for spontaneous pictures. I was looking for someone to smile at me when I was feeling so nervous and anxious…
I talked with many photographers, but when Ale called me, we clicked instantly and I had a feeling about her. Ale is a nice, patient, friendly, professional and very punctual person. We are so happy with her work. We love our photos and the way she conducted herself on our very special day, both with us and everyone there. We can tell you that she is going to do a great job!!!! Best of luck to you in your wedding!”

"We wanted to thank you for being the photographer at our wedding! First and foremost, we are very pleased with the beautiful photographs you took of our ceremony and reception and are so happy to have such lovely images to treasure from our special day! We also appreciated your hard work and energy throughout the entire day. You were very easy and a pleasure to work with as you were friendly, receptive and professional. And you made our photographs available quickly and responded promptly to our requests and emails.
All in all, we feel that we made the right decision in hiring you to photograph our wedding! Thank you so much for capturing our wedding and ensuring that those special moments will not soon be forgotten!"

"Hi Alex,
Thank you so much for the wonderful photos. There were so many I loved! You really
brought to print how much fun the kids were having. I look forward to working
with you as the kids grow and change.
Take care,
Laura"
"Alex,
The pictures are wonderful! One of my favorites is the last one...the pig pile of sorts! Some of the close-ups were fantastic!!...Thank you so much for coming out here, working with the less than stellar lighting, and being so wonderful and patient with my energetic children! We will definitely keep you in mind for the future and will gladly pass your name on to friends and family!
Thanks so much for your great work!
- Rachel"
"We had an amazing experience with Studio Bon Enfant! Alex was terrific with my kids and they were so comfortable around her!
The pictures came out great and it was so convenient to have her come to the house where the kids would be much more comfortable. Most other studios don't do that and if they do they charge a flat rate of $50-$100, so to have that included in the package was great!
She truly knows how to capture the best of her focus! I am very pleased and when family members ask about my pictures I brag about my brilliant photographer from Studio Bon Enfant!

"Alex
Wow, they came out beautiful! I love them all! All that hard work paid off. I hope you are as proud of the pictures as I am happy with them.
You’re a great photographer, you’re wonderful with children, you have a good eye and most of all, you have a pleasant demeanor about you that makes you easy to work with.
Aydin really had a great time! He looks so happy in the photos (and he's tough to distract). So naturally, I want one of each picture :-)
Thanks again for everything!
- Nena"
Alex,
Thank you so much!! The pictures you took of our daughter Emma are absolutely beautiful and truly capture her personality.
We didn't just get great photos, we also had a wonderful time while they were being taken. You put Emma at ease, and it felt more like playtime than a photo shoot. She still talks about you and wants to go back to have her picture taken again!
