About Stan Alien Photography

Stan Alien Photography

Head Photographer

Hi! I’m Stan, a professional photographer based in Northern New Jersey. I’ve been photographing weddings around the world for 15 years. I love creating timeless photos with a classic European style. Just be yourselves and enjoy the day - I’ll capture the good stuff and step in when you need a little direction. No pressure, no awkward stuff. Just great photos of a great day.

What sets me apart from other photographers is my background in graphic design, which has had a lasting influence on the way I approach wedding photography. Years of working with composition, color, and balance shaped the way I see every frame. My style blends documentary storytelling with a modern editorial edge, resulting in photographs that feel elegant and natural.

    Great job

    Stan captured our wedding day and did such an amazing job! We are so happy to have these beautiful photos. Stan was very organized and responsive. He kept track of what was important to us and drove to multiple locations throughout the day to capture all the events of the day. His level of service continued even after the wedding. He provided us with a preview the next day and provided the rest of our photos faster than expected. We are so happy and thrilled with how our wedding photos turned out!

    Beautiful photos!

    Stan is an amazing photographer. We had an early morning, small proposal at Piers Park. He captured candid moments and also helped pose us so we didn't look awkward. Our photos came out absolutely beautiful and we couldn't believe how quickly they arrived. Stan truly is a phenomenal artist. Throughout the entire process he was always prompt at responding and very professional. Stan exceeded our expectations and we highly recommend him!

    I highly recommend Stan

    Stan was absolutely phenomenal to work with and hiring him to photograph our wedding is one of the best decisions I’ve made! One of the many things that impressed me the most about Stan was how efficient he was - we had plenty of time to relax and freshen up before our ceremony after having our first look and got to enjoy a lot of our cocktail hour because of how quickly he was able to get his shots without in any way sacrificing opportunities to get good photos. He was a joy to be around that he felt more like a friend taking our pictures, which made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and have so much fun that we were able to truly enjoy the entire experience. I could go on and on about how great it was to work with Stan and how amazing his work is, but for the sake of the length of this review… we got everything we could have imagined and more working with him. I highly recommend Stan.

    Stan the man

    We hired Stan for our Boston City Hall wedding photo shoot. The ceremony was supposed to be quick and we wanted a photographer who knew how to work the area and if not could figure out ways to capture the short moments as much and as best as possible. Stan was very quick to respond when we engaged. While it seems like he has few engagements, we looked past it because his portfolio showed great composition, mood, and lighting skills. We were not disappointed. Stan is quite creative and finds ways to work with the subjects and the surroundings. He was punctual, did his research of the area, and showed up 30 minutes before we did to scope the area for the day. During the photo shoots, he was very active in directing us to the best angles and also engaging with us to see if we had ideas. Often running ahead and moving from angle to angle, you could tell he was dedicated to producing good work. Stan had some locations picked up including some he thought would be an interesting shot to experiment with and it all turned out great. We would have spent the whole day taking pictures with him but unfortunately, had dinner plans right after the wedding. We enjoyed the photo shoot and working with Stan and couldn't recommend him enough. He is probably one of the best on the platform! Attached are some examples of the work that he produced.

    Stan wedding photographer

    My husband found Stan through recommendations from friends. Stan is very easy to get along with. He responds very quickly to emails and text messages. He does a great job of making you feel comfortable and takes the awkward out of posing for pictures. My husband and I are very happy with the results of his work. He did a great job. Thumbs up! There are definitely no regrets about choosing him for our photographer.

    Thank you so much, Emma! It was such a pleasure working with you both. I’m really glad you felt comfortable throughout the process, that’s always one of my biggest priorities.

Typically, couples book me about 6 months before their wedding date. I encourage you to reach out as soon as possible about my availability, even if you’re planning on a shorter time frame.
Yes! In addition to photography, we offer professional wedding videography. Our experienced photo and video team can cover celebrations of any size or complexity, from intimate ceremonies to full-scale weddings.
My turnaround time varies by season. Typically, you’ll be able to view your photos online about 4-5 weeks after your wedding.
You can expect about 60 to 80 images per hour of photographing. But keep in mind this estimate varies depending on your wedding package, number of guests, venue type, and other factors.
Definitely. All final images will be edited for color, saturation, exposure, and sharpness to ensure they look beautiful. I also offer retouching services like blemish removal and teeth whitening for an additional charge.
