I'm so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your wedding! I believe in real moments and photographs that remind you of the joy that can be found in the simplest of moments. I believe in images that are itching to be printed, placed in beautiful frames and hung on walls for years to come.
Whenever I pick up my camera, I strive to create beautiful and emotional images that tell a story and showcase the beauty of both the people in the images and the world around them.
welcome
I don’t even know the right words to describe what an amazing photographer Alex is! She was extremely kind, very professional, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing! They are exactly what we hoped for to help us remember our special day. We were extremely grateful for her attention to detail and thoughtfulness through the entire process. Needless to say, if you are considering working with her, do it!
"Booking her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding"
Fawn and Joseph
Alex is personable, talented, and professional. She takes time to capture all of the small details and every emotion of the day. Receiving our gallery was such a special moment where we were able to relive one of our most special days thus far. We have received so many compliments on our wedding gallery and hope to have the opportunity to work with Alex again in the future!
"ALEX WAS AN ABSOLUTE PLEASURE TO WORK WITH"
Shannon and Adrian
She was an absolute blast to have there on my wedding day, kept me calm during a dress malfunction, and went so far above and beyond in getting our pictures. I’ve not even seen our full album (only some sneak peaks!) and I have full confidence that it’s going to be incredible. She’s a gem and if you are here: book her.
"ALEX WAS, WITHOUT A DOUBT, ONE OF MY FAVORITE VENDORS TO WORK WITH"
Victoria and Todd
I knew memories may fade but the pictures would be around to remind me of the day. I immediately liked Alex's portfolio and how all of her images are so light and ethereal. Meeting her in person instantly sealed the deal for me. There is almost a soft glow and character to her pictures that is just stunning. I cannot recommend her enough! Book her while you can!
"SHE IS SO PASSIONATE ABOUT FINDING THE BEST LIGHTING AND IT SHOWS!"
Lauren and Will

investment
Your wedding is a once-in-a-lifetime event, and I believe it deserves to be remembered in a way that's both timeless and stunning.
When my couples receive their albums (available in a variety of linen and leather covers), they can't help but swoon at the sheer beauty of it all. Opening your album is like reliving your special day all over again, and I'm honored to be able to create something that you can cherish for years to come.
heirloom ALBUMS
It takes time for most couples to warm up to being
photographed and understand how I pose. Timelines can be
pretty tight on weddings days and 30 minutes may be all we
have for portraits. I’ve found that wedding day
portraits turn out so much better when couples do engagement
sessions ahead of time, which is why I include a complimentary engagement session in each one of my collections.
Engagement Sessions
It typically takes 6-12 weeks to finish a wedding and have your gallery online and ready for you to view and download. You will see a preview just a few days after the wedding.
How long before we see the photos?
How many photos will we get?
Absolutely. This is something I've been doing from the beginning of my career. I believe it is critical for my clients to have access to those files and to be able to use, print, and distribute them as they see fit. No hidden fees!
Do we get the digital files?
As soon as possible.
Weekends tend to book up quickly, especially during peak wedding season (May - October).
How far in advance should I book my wedding?
When I have the opportunity, I like to photograph in natural light. However, that doesn't mean when the sun goes down I'm wrapping up. I've got you covered whether there's a heavy cloud in the sky, rain, or even if things are running late and the ceremony concludes after dark.
Are you a "natural light" photographer?
Please contact me to confirm my availability for your wedding day, and we'll set up a video chat or coffee date to see if we're a good match. After that, if you're ready to book, we sign a contract and after 50% retainer is paid, your wedding date is officially reserved. The rest of your payment is due 30 days before your wedding day.
We're ready! How do we book you?
FAQ
I've found that 600-1000 images is a great range for telling the whole story of a wedding day. Keep in mind, these numbers may increase or decrease depending on many things: logistics, weather, season, second photographer, etc.
