Live with Alex of Alex & Dali Weddings: Colour, Joy, the MagMod MagBounce & Why Puerto Rico Is the Best Place on Earth to Shoot a Wedding

We could not think of a better way to close out the year than with Alex of Alex and Dali Weddings - and his work is exactly the kind of photography that makes you want to pick up your camera immediately. Based in Puerto Rico and shooting weddings since 2016, Alex and his wife Dali shoot as a team, bringing a masculine technical precision and a feminine creative eye to every wedding they cover. The result is images that are bursting with colour, energy, and genuine joy.

In this stream Alex walks through eight images, sharing the lighting setups, the posing philosophy, and the mindset he brings to every couple he works with. He also shares his strong belief that how you make couples feel on the day matters as much as the technical quality of the images and that photographers who invest in the experience will always have couples asking to come back.

Colourful, warm, energetic, and absolutely full of love. The perfect end to a year of incredible streams. 🎉 Happy Christmas everyone!

The top 5 things you will learn by watching this stream:

  1. How Alex and Darley work together as a shooting team to bring both technical and creative perspectives to every image. Alex explains how shooting as a couple allows them to see completely different things and why combining those perspectives produces images with a depth and completeness that single-shooter coverage rarely achieves.
  2. How Alex uses the MagMod Bounce as a key part of his flash workflow. Alex shares why the MagMod MagBounce has become central to how he lights couples: including how distance affects the quality of light and why it is particularly valuable in windy outdoor conditions.
  3. How to approach same-sex couples in posing without defaulting to assigned roles. Alex shares a valuable insight on posing that applying masculine and feminine role assumptions to same-sex couples produces stiff, uncomfortable images, and how approaching both people equally unlocks far more natural and beautiful results.
  4. Why the couple experience matters as much as the final images. Alex shares his belief that couples who enjoy being photographed, who feel comfortable, happy, and cared for always produce better images, and how investing in that experience from the first enquiry pays dividends throughout the wedding day.
  5. How Puerto Rico's light, culture, and energy inform Alex's distinctive photographic style. Alex shares how shooting in Puerto Rico with its extraordinary light, vibrant colour, and joyful wedding culture has shaped the way he sees and captures images, and how those instincts translate beautifully to weddings anywhere in the world.

I am a off camera flash obsessive wedding photographer based in the sunny North West of England. I shot my first wedding in 2006 and since then I have shot around 500 weddings across the UK and overseas. For the past 10 years I have also been running wedding photography workshops and in 2020 I set up my Patreon, which has now grown to a community of 250 photographers all over the world. I also love to make videos for my YouTube channel, which again is all focussed on wedding photography education and ‘How I Shot This’ off camera flash videos. I am also very proud to be an Ambassador for MagMod, Pic-Time and Studio Ninja.Myself and Helen Williams set up Flash Masters in September 2022 and I am so incredibly proud of what Flash Masters will become. A huge thank you to all of our Ambassadors, Sponsors and every single member of the community for helping to make this a reality. I am so excited to see where this journey takes us all!
