I began photographing weddings in high school, and more than twenty years later, I’m still in love with love.

ANALOG PORTRAITS

“One of the biggest challenges we had was finding a photographer we could be comfortable with. To say Alex was respectful and compassionate is an understatement. We felt at home being ourselves around Alex.

Alex brought an artistic intention to our wedding and a willingness to take creative risks.

With our trust and their skill, Alex created a collection of images that tell a beautiful story. Alex fit seamlessly into our wedding day as a photographer, but also as someone we could count on for support.”

West, class of ‘25

“Alex was super kind; complimented the ideas I had and the poses I wanted to do. Alex made the process really fun and I felt comfortable right away. The pictures turned out the way I hoped… even better than I hoped.”

Kate, West’s Mom

“Many senior pictures feature the same traditional backdrops and poses, however, my daughter had a dream of haunted art and album covers. Alex spoke her language immediately and was up for a collaborative creation. Alex can take a well-developed idea or a slivered vision and create magic with their talent, eye, and lens.”
