Connecting and storytelling through meaningful and timeless photographs
I’m drawn to people who love deeply and to the stories that shape them. Photography, for me, is about connection; capturing real, unscripted moments that you can feel every time you return to them. The laughter, the quiet in-between glances, the movement and energy of the day. I’m here for couples who are deeply in love and who value presence, meaning, and authenticity as much as I do.
Who I am
Hi friends! I'm Alexandra Marcu
There’s a lot of meaning behind the name Marcu Fotography.
When I started this business nearly 10 years ago, I wanted it to feel personal to me and connected to where I come from. Marcu is my family name, and choosing it was my way of carrying a piece of them into something I was building for myself. The love, support, and closeness within my family have shaped so much of who I am, and continue to inspire the way I see and document people.
I also chose to spell photo differently as in Romanian its spelt foto. Being Romanian has always been a huge part of my identity - especially for my taste buds. Ask me about Romanian food and I won't shut up.
Why I might be the right photographer for you
Rooted in what matters
To me, it’s always been about a meaningful experience over a perfect one.
I want you to be able to move through your day feeling present, without the pressure to do everything or make it all look a certain way.
I connect most with couples who deeply value the experience of their day: the emotion, the people, the meaningful moments. While also being fully ready to celebrate, let loose, and have the absolute best time with the people they love most.
Why I might be the right photographer for you
The perfect balance between guidance and being hands-off
For most of your day, I take a step back—
documenting what’s real as it plays out, without interrupting or over directing.
But when it’s time for portraits, that's when you'll be fully supported in posing. I'll guide you through prompts and movement so it can feel natural and seamless.
My goal is for you to feel confident, comfortable, and fully yourselves.
Because you deserve both:
images that feel honest, and images that feel like art.
Why I might be the right photographer for you
My style is natural, refined, and true to what’s in front of me
My editing style is true-to-tone, enhancing what is already present with a touch of the film look.
I preserve colours as they were, with soft refinements that enhance the image without overpowering it. All retouching is done with intention and to enhance who you already are.
The result is a collection of photographs that feel clean, timeless, and true to your day.
Why I might be the right photographer for you
An experience built on trust, long before your wedding day
Before anything else, I like to take the time to truly get to know you. How you connect, what matters most to you, and how you want your day to feel.
We’ll walk through everything together beforehand, so nothing is left uncertain.
You can trust that everything is being captured with care.
I want your day to unfold naturally, while I take care of preserving it.
Real Moments, Artfully Preserved
Testimonials
"When we talk about our wedding with our families, without fail, we hear compliment after compliment about how amazing our photographer is."
"Alexandra is amazing! We hired her for our wedding day and not only were her photos stunning but her friendly, positive, and professional attitude helped the day run smoothly. Her fly on the wall approach for the ceremony and reception photos made it so we were able to capture real meaningful moments, and her structure and professionalism during the formal family photos made it a breeze to organize everyone for those shots, down to the hand placements. Our photos look absolutely perfect. She was able to capture everything we wanted. Her images are just perfect moments frozen in time."

Testimonials
"Alex was an absolute gem to work with! She was our wedding photographer for a big Indian wedding and we were lucky to have her for a full 17 hours that day. Being a very long day, she not only made my partner and I feel comfortable and confident but also provided us the space to be ourselves which is often difficult to portray when someone is photographing you. Her work depicts her passion and you can see all the time she puts into making sure the photos look flawless. My partner had torn his bicep right before the wedding and was in a brace- Alex was able to hide the brace in many photos as per our request and we are so grateful for all the energy she put into editing our pictures. Highly highly recommend Alex as your photographer! She is both professional and personable and will make your day feel extra special!"

"Alex is an amazing photographer, and having her capture our wedding was an absolute blessing. Her ability to make everyone feel at ease during the photo sessions was fantastic. Not only did she give great pointers and directions for group pictures, but she even jumped in like an extra bridesmaid, helping with my dress and making sure I looked fabulous. We were so lucky to have her on our big day – she made everything better. Highly recommend Alex for any photography needs, she's awesome!"
