I’m Alexander A. Banaag II, a professional photographer, videographer, and photo editor with more than 20 years of experience. Since founding Portraits by Bukool in 2010, I’ve been actively providing photo and video services for weddings, debuts, corporate events, and real estate projects—offering clients full coverage from shooting to post-production. Alongside running my own studio, I also worked as a professional photo editor and retoucher for Coban Weddings in London from 2018 to 2025. While collaborating with Coban on Turkish and international weddings, I was at the same time capturing and producing events through my studio, allowing me to stay both creatively active and technically sharp. What makes me stand out is the balance I bring between artistry, technical mastery, and professional discipline. My work is backed not only by years of hands-on creative experience but also by a strong background in marketing analytics, operations management, and customer service. This combination allows me to approach every project with creativity, precision, and a clear focus on client satisfaction. Whether it’s telling love stories through wedding films, creating powerful visuals for corporate events, or delivering polished edits for international clients, I always aim to exceed expectations and provide results that are both meaningful and timeless.
