I'm a Waverly Iowa based wedding and family photographer, mom to three girls, married to my high school sweetheart Daniel. I've been photographing weddings and families since 2018 and I'm still just as obsessed with golden hour as I was on day one.

Hey, I'm Alex McCrary (AKA cutesy girl)

Iowa Wedding Photographer

Wedding planning can feel heavy, full of "don't do this" lists, mistake warnings and enough stress to make any bride want to elope. I wanted to create something different. A positive corner of the internet where brides could come to feel excited about their wedding instead of anxious about it.

So I started sharing wedding ideas. Fun ones. Out of the box ones. The kind of details that make guests stop mid-conversation and say "wait, that is so cute."

That's when "cutesy wedding ideas" took off. Millions of views. Thousands of saves. Brides from all over the country sliding into my DMs saying they were actually using these ideas for their real weddings. It turns out a lot of brides were looking for the same thing I wanted to create, a space that felt fun, inspiring and completely positive.

That's still what it is today. And it's still what I bring to every single wedding I photograph. Because your wedding should feel exciting from the very first Pinterest search all the way to the last dance.
