Wondering how I got here?
Funny story…It all started one summer at The Warped Tour...
Back in my college days, I started photographing my first love: Concerts.
I lived for capturing the rush of a live performance. From the completely unpredictable nature of each show, to the joy on the faces of every audience member, every second was a story. And I was in the front row to snap away.
Shoutout to Young the Giant, Chvrches, Hoodie Allen, Maroon5, and all those Warped Tours – including the very last one at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame! – for my first pro photography experiences.
Then in 2016, a friend asked me to shoot her backyard wedding, and I was hooked. I realized the very on-your-toes nature of photographing a wedding day was very similar to live music. I fell in love with the idea of becoming a wedding photographer.
In 2019, I got married! Whether Evan joins me for photos, or spends the day at home taking care of our beloved pup, Manchego, he's the best of the best. We both love new friends, dogs, bad dancing, hiking, libraries, Sour Patch Kids, and genuine love in all its many forms.
Now here we are, officially combining my photo skills with my love of storytelling. I left my 9-to-5 job in 2022 and went ‘full time’ with wedding photography, and I haven’t looked back since.
My photography style is free of:
I vibe with couples who choose stuff they actually like. Your photos are going to look the most comfortable and full of joy if you're surrounded by people and colors and flowers and things that make YOU happy… not the Instagram algorithm.
WTF does ~timeless~ even mean? Your wedding day will absolutely reflect the time and place you are married–no matter how many “classic” white roses you jam into your decor. And that is what makes it YOUR wedding. Do you. Ditch the rest.
I hate when couples say they don't hear from their photographer during the planning process. I want to know how things are going, what you're planning, all of your favorite details, how your mother is driving you insane, and what you're most excited for - give me all of it.
This note from Joanna and George says it all: “Alexa photographed our wedding and I could not have asked for a cooler woman to work with. She was just the calmest coolest force through the whole thing, and checked in numerous times to make sure we were ok in the midst of the craziness, and totally rolled with the punches all the way through.”
"ALEXA made us feel comfortable and at ease, ensuring that the whole process from start to finish was stress-free. The vibrancy and quality of the photos are simply breathtaking. The colors popped, the details were crisp, and the emotions jumped out of the frames. Every time we flip through our wedding album, we are constantly reminded of the love and happiness radiating throughout the day. Their work is nothing short of exceptional, and we are forever grateful for the memories they beautifully preserved for us."
