learn more about alex

Iowa wedding photographer, girl mom, and the person who will hype you up harder than anyone on your wedding day.

I'm not here to pose you into something you're not. I'm here to capture the way you actually looked at each other, the details you spent months obsessing over, and the moments that happened between the moments, because those are the ones you'll want to relive forever.

Warm. Real. A little cutesy. Exactly right.

You Deserve a Photographer Who Makes Your Wedding Feel Like Yours

✓ You'll never watch the clock. Full day coverage means I'm there from the first getting ready jitters to the last dance, so you stay present and I handle the rest.

✓ You'll have two sets of eyes on your day. A second photographer is included in every wedding so while I'm with you, someone else is capturing him. Nothing gets missed.

You'll feel like yourself in front of the camera. No awkward posing. No stiff smiles. Just prompts that make you forget I'm there and photos that look exactly like you actually feel.

You'll have your sneak peek within 24 hours. Because waiting is the worst and you deserve to relive your day as fast as possible.

You'll work with someone who actually gets weddings. 8 years. 100+ couples. Trusted by 27,000+ brides on Instagram & TikTok. I know how a wedding day moves and how to capture it.

why couples choose me

yes, this is me →

Someday your grandkids are going to find these photos in a box, or scroll through them on whatever device exists in 2060, and piece together exactly who you were.

Not just what you looked like. But how you loved. Who made you laugh so hard you forgot the camera was there. What your getting ready room smelled like. The way he looked at you when you weren't looking back.

That's what I'm actually capturing. Not just pretty pictures, the evidence that your life was full, your love was real, and your wedding day felt exactly like you.

I think about this a lot..

"Alex was absolutely amazing to work with! From the moment we booked, she made the whole process so easy and stress-free. Alex caught every special moment on our wedding day... big and small! Our photos are everything we hoped for and more. They’re gorgeous, natural, and really capture the joy of the day. We just got our gallery back yesterday and have looked through them multiple times. Each time we keep finding new little moments we absolutely love! We’re so grateful to Alex for giving us photos we’ll cherish forever. Couldn’t recommend her more!"

"Alex photographed our wedding and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out! Right when we met Alex, we felt comfortable in front of a camera. She was literally a fly on the wall during our wedding day and caught every single special moment on camera. I love that she focuses on capturing the little moments rather than posed photos. We’re able to relive our special day for the rest of our lives now, and for that, we are eternally grateful to Alex:)"
