With a formal degree in Fine Arts, creating has always been at the heart of who I am.
Photography has blessed me with the opportunity to document life's greatest moments of joy, beauty and truth.
I have been photographing weddings since 2015 but my greatest achievement is the relationships that I have made with the couple's and families that I have had the honor of serving.
Your photos are more than just pretty images. They showcase the beginning of you marriage, and your own family legacy. They are your first family heirlooms. They will hang on your walls and be passed on for generations to share. They will take you back to the feelings, moments and people that matter most.
On your day, you want someone there for you who will catch all the little details: watching for hair ties on wrists, cleaning distracting hotel backgrounds, all while capturing those special in-between moments. Like the tears in your mom's eyes as she stands back and sees you in your dress, or your grandparents busting a move on the dance floor. Well guess what? I've got you covered.
You see, here is my philosophy-
While planning for your wedding is absolutely crucial (believe me I could put Monica Geller to shame with my planning), I gravitate towards the moments that live off a timeline, because so much of the magic that happens on your day can never be planned for.
Weddings are full of unscripted celebrations showcasing human connection. That is the best part.
I strive to to create imagery that is artistic, sometimes gently posed, but also authentic and real. My style is natural, joy-filled, and romantic, so that your wedding photos will always stand the test of time. Your photos should always take you back to the way you felt- so you will always be able to relive the day and the promises that you are making to each other.
I am the girl behind the camera but here is a little more about who I am...
I have an incredible husband (we just got married last year and - no saying husband does not ever get old LOL), and we have very spoiled rescue dog, Jax.
I like to stay busy and love being around other people! My 4 sisters so I am a total girl's girl and they are my best friends. I am a also one VERY proud auntie :)
I spend a lot of my time working listening to podcasts but I'm also guilty of some serious Netflix binge watching (forever favorite- Gilmore Girls. Current obsessions- This is Us, & Seinfeld.)
I am an Enneagram 2 which means "The Helper." I basically find my purpose in helping others, and being needed. I genuinely have so much love in my heart for other people.

-BOB DYLAN
Hi- I'm Alex and I am a Cincinnati girl (living in Northern Kentucky).
I have an incredible husband (we just got married), and a very spoiled rescue dog. My 4 sisters are my best friends and I am a proud auntie :)
I love reading classic fiction novels, listening to podcasts about business, and binge watching TV series
(forever favorite- Gilmore Girls. Current obsessions- This is Us, & Seinfeld.)
I am an Enneagram 2 (I basically find purpose in helping and being there for other people). I genuinely have so much love in my heart for everyone- especially my couples.
On your day, you want someone there for you who will catch all the little details: watching for hair ties on wrists, cleaning distracting hotel backgrounds, pinning boutonnières, all while capturing those special in-between moments.
Like the tears in your mom's eyes as she stands back and sees you in your dress, or your grandparents busting a move on the dance floor. Well guess what? I've got you covered.

About Me
MY RESCUE
DOG
Yes, I am one of those crazy dog ladies :)
My dog, Jax, is about as spoiled as they get, he even
sleeps on the pillows and gets lots of treats!
Being a fur-mama is my favorite thing in the
world and so is connecting with other animal lovers.
We love to go on hikes, play with other dogs,
walk to coffee shops and take long naps (especially this).

MARGARITAS
On the rocks and with salt, please!
I am a firm believe there is nothing that a margarita (or a bubble bath) cannot cure.

READING
I love a good read!
I am passionate about English and literature. I was actually an English major for a year in college before I transferred to the art department to get my BFA.
When I finish a great book I actually get depressed for a few days when it is over. I love quotes from literature, too and I love hearing quotes incorporated into a wedding ceremony or decor.

ICE CREAM
Ice Cream is a complete food group in my life that I believe I can live off of.
Can I get an Amen?

MY WHY
In 2010 I was a sophomore in college and my grandma was diagnosed with terminal cancer.
I spent a lot of time with her as her cancer took over and her health became worse. On one occasion I brought a camera along with me to her house. She was no longer able to communicate.
I talked to her, showed her my new camera and when I did my grandpa leaned over and gave her a kiss.
She smiled.
She was with us.
And I captured it on camera.
That was the the last time I ever saw her smile, she passed away 4 days later.
That is why I take photos. I take them so that you can remember the fleeting moments, the real moments, the joyful moments and everything in between so that those moments can last forever.
