WHAT I AM ALL ABOUT HERE

Hey there! I'm Alex—a wife, mom of three, and wedding photographer who believes your photos should feel as authentic and personal as your love story.

After missing out on hiring a photographer for my own wedding (yikes!), I realized how important it is to preserve the real moments—from the big to the small—without any stiff, awkward posing.

Oh hey, I'm Alex and I am ready to obsess over your photos forever.
