Alex mccrary photography

Your wedding day should feel like you—not like a production. It's not about perfect poses or Pinterest-worthy setups. It's about the quiet moments with your person and those tight hugs from family. When you look back at your photos in 20 years, those real, unscripted moments are what'll take you right back.

Your best photos happen when you're not even thinking about the camera

Maybe you're saying "I do" in your family's church (4 generations and counting!), or maybe you're creating new traditions. Either way, I'm all about documenting your story—from the morning mimosas to your grandpa stealing the show on the dance floor. Plus, I'll catch all those sweet moments you might miss while you're busy having the best day ever.

I'm Alex & I'm here for couples who want to do their day their way

Photographed over 100+ weddings & featured in WedSociety, The Knot, Best of the Best & more

i do too

You: living your day - I'll worry about the photos, you focus on marrying your person.
Natural moments + gentle guidance - While I love capturing real, unscripted moments, I'm also here with helpful direction when you want it. You'll never be left wondering "what do I do with my hands?"
Ready for anything - With 100+ weddings under my belt, I'm ready for whatever the day brings (yes, even your uncle's impromptu speech).

My vows to you as your photographer on the day you wed.

More than just pretty pictures—these are the moments that'll take you right back to how it felt to live them

If you're on the fence about hiring her, my advice to you would be to go all in on Alex & hire her. On my wedding day I hardly felt any stress at all as she took care of everything for me and was very organized. She knows exactly what to do and what will look best. The pictures turned out amazing. She even gives a lot of tips and ideas for everything you could possibly need.

Mariah and Reid

She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera.
She is so laid back and go with the flow. She provides so much information to help plan a wedding outside of being our photographer. I could not recommend her enough. We love Alex and all her work!

Grace and Dylan

She made everything so easy, so fun and so STRESS FREE.
She took everything I wanted and made it even better than I could have imagined. She was so calm, cool and collected but also got everything done we needed her to! We just got our sneak peeks back and I am OBSESSED. I 100000% recommend her. The absolute best in the business!!!
