A letter from Alexa

About your photographer

photo by oli sansom/briars atlas

Greetings! You may have stumbled into this website after sifting through an overwhelming mountain of Google search results. I’ve been there… I know what it’s like to feel disheartened because you can’t find what you’re looking for, let alone something that makes you think, “Hell yeah… this is it.” Finding a photographer or videographer that resonates with how you want to feel is a matter of recognizing stories that hit close to home. Something you can see yourself in.

My passion for telling stories goes beyond the onslaught of recycled instagram fluff.

For me, that means shooting exclusively on analog cameras since it’s the closest thing to... well, the real thing. I use the same cameras to document my own life.

Above all, I’m committed to documenting your story (whether near or far) in ways I’ve never seen before. It’s the magical dust of film, and I want to sprinkle you with it.

If for some reason you want to read more about what makes me forge onward in an uncertain world, head on over to the more thorough, *professional* About Us page.

What’s it like working with me?

It’s important to know that I shoot what I see. Sometimes I set things up, but most of the time it’s a truly candid take on the day. Nothing beats the kid nephew picking their nose, a bridesmaid falling in a pool, a teary exchange between exuberant mothers.

Don’t worry about looking editorial or fancy. Every couple you see on this website told me “We don’t look good in front of the camera.” I beg to differ. I enjoy capturing people in their moments of profound honesty, and if you gander my portfolio you can see the evidence. Your day will look exactly how you want to remember it.

  • “I wish you could see the effect watching your beautiful work had on us. Seriously a wild ride of emotion. We can't be more happy with having you there as a part of our day.”

    Meghan & Dani, Manteno, IL

  • "It's like something out of the best rom-com you've ever seen."

    Alex & Josh - Nantahala, NC

  • “Let’s start with the raw truth: Alex and Alexa are simply amazing at what they do. They are artists and true professionals in every sense of the words. From our very first conversation, they were immediately invested in getting to know us. We are so grateful they did. That personal approach paid dividends by the time our wedding weekend came around a year and half later. If you’re seeking someone who will invest themselves in your celebration and develop a meaningful relationship, then you’re likely not going to find anybody more capable and willing.”

    Rachael & Matt - Bridgewater VT

  • "These are unreallllll. Holy shit!!!! bbadhadfasdjkfasdjfb;b!!! :)"

    Max & Steph - Fano, Italy

  • "OH MY GAH. The best Christmas present EVER. I can't even begin to thank you. I laughed, I cried looking through these. They are my dream wedding photos and I can't thank you enough. Thank you thank you. The little moments that you captured that I wasn't even thinking of you got. I am beaming with happiness and love."

    Brittney & Brent - Tampa FL

  • "We have no idea how you catch every special moment. There's like five of you running around or something."

    Chelsea & Aimee - Blowing Rock, NC

Frequently vocalized inquirings

  • Primarily Asheville, North Carolina. However, I live in a Sprinter van so you’ll often find me gallivanting elsewhere with semi-reckless abandon.

  • Absolutely. I’m a well-seasoned traveler and passport-ready for the cosmos. I travel for over half the weddings I document.

  • I offer customizable packages for film photography, Super 8 videos, or both. Check out out the pricing and process to get a more thorough look.

  • Sure do! I know documentation is a huge investment, so all packages are set on a payment plan. You can pay in 2, 4, 6, 12, or however many payments you want - as long as you’re fully paid up before the wedding, you’re good to go.

  • My books are open for 2025 and beyond! I’m available for both weekday and weekend celebrations any time of the year. Only way to know if I’m available for your date is to send me an inquiry here. I’d love to hear from you!

  • If you’re one of those legendary couples who want to go all-out on a beautiful location (whether as a short jaunt on your wedding day, or heading out somewhere spectacular for your entire celebration), I offer my scouting expertise. You might say I moonlight as a google maps ninja.

  • It over-swept.
