the team
Chelsea's favorite things to photograph during the wedding day are the little moments of candid interaction and when she can whisk the couple away for some alone time during Sunset. she absolutely loves road trips, mountain adventures, and hitting up new restaurants. Together she and her husband take care of four cats and a crazy three-year-old named Forest.
After missing out on her own wedding photography, Alex turned wedding + couples photography into her full time job to make sure others don't miss out on the things she did. She thrives off being able to make anyone comfortable in front of the camera. Board games, The Office, an excuse to run to Target and time with her two daughters and husband are all the ways to her heart.

the gangs all here
Laurel is a big fan of the candid moments from getting ready all the way to the dance party. After the first looks, her next favorite part of the day is the reception - so don't be surprised if you see her busting a move on the dance floor! Her perfect night would be spent playing games with friends and watching Schitt's Creek while eating homemade pizza with a mule in hand!

will you help us pose?
Of course!! I love to see my couples personalities in their images. Standing there and having you "say cheese" is not a great way to show how your personalities. Because of this during my sessions there's lots of whispering to each other, asking questions and running around!

Ethan + Emily
Her eye for detail is amazing and the edits are beautiful. She will capture photos that show your personalities and tastes and make reliving your wedding day a reality. She is exactly what I was imagining and looking for in a photographer. I would highly recommend her to anyone who asks and I can’t wait to work with her again in the future.
Alex helped so much with two things brides stress about the most, day of timeline and of course pictures to capture your special day. Her website and own personal guidance make it so easy to plan both of these things simultaneously.. After this going through the big day seems like a breeze!
"make reliving your wedding day a reality."
Lydia + Tairk
We had so much fun with her. It felt like the hottest September day ever and we were swarmed by hundreds of mosquitos but yet she somehow managed to get incredible photos that we both are in love with. She made us feel so comfortable!
I literally looked at her Instagram and knew that she was meant to be my photographer. I was so nervous to get engagement photos.. we even brought two good friends with us. It was like Alex was another best friend.
"Alex was another best friend!"
Kayla + John
She was more than willing to go out of her way to find a date and time to meet up and talk some more. She’s easy going, kind hearted, and has a talent of capturing the most amazing photos that no one can replace.
Alex was absolutely amazing from the beginning to the end and everything in between! From any questions or concerns I had she was quick to reply.
