✨You take care of others, let me take care of you! ✨

Hi I'm Alexandria! (she her) Photographer and planner! It's literally my job to take out out of analysis paralasis and put together everything so you can have a magical, nature-filled experience!

3 reasons why my couples love working with me!

✨I'm a local expert.✨

Nature-based elopements come with their own set of logistics that traditional wedding photographers don't consider - for you, it can get overwhelming fast. I am a hiker, so I have a wide range of expertise from nuanced details to well-known facts, which allows me to assist you with everything from ideas, locations, light, timelines, permits, backup plans, marriage licenses, weather, and more! You need someone to help you narrow down and tailor options to you!

✨It's more than location ideas - I help design your experience too.✨

Your elopement day is more than your location. It's also about the additional ways to spend time with each other and I help you with ideas to take your day to the next level. Our entire planning process from questionnaires to calls to emails all give me an the clear picture of how you want to spend your day which gives me the knowledge on how to deliver a gallery with artful photographs AND your experience in mind.

✨I have a directed documentary style✨

My balanced posing approach allows you to enjoy your emotions and to experience your memories without feeling performative. From embraces amongst grand landscapes to hands holding the details of moss, to you just enjoying your time- it will all be documented so can open your album and instantly be transported back!

While there are points during the day focused on portraits, the goal is always for you to feel comfortable and present. You’ll experience an unscripted/candid vibe, but also posing help for when you need it so you walk away with whimsical photos and memories to last a lifetime. less posing, more real moments.

Now just imagine: creating a wedding adventure that sparks your curiosity and awakens your inner child.

🌲Frolic through the forests. ⛰️Pretend the landscape is your kingdom in your version of a romantasy novel. 🫂Spend quality time with the ones you love most.

Remember, this is your wedding day!

✨Give yourself the gift of time.✨

Time means more prescensce, less wory about logisitics, and more time for the natural moments you want your wedding day to have.

"We're both a bit camera shy!"

When you work with a photographer who prioritizes your experience as much as photos, you won't feel like you're putting on a show. 🧡

By the end of this my goal is for you to say "damn, I can't believe we did all of that!"

**If you don’t know what that means right now, don't worry! I’ll help you come up with activity ideas that feel personal to you!

    What to say about one of the most joyous and giving photographers I have ever met? As a Houston based photographer myself, I was looking for someone special to capture our Washington wedding. As soon as we found Alexandria, I knew we hit the jackpot. Not only was she immediately kind and understanding during our first Zoom call, but she made every step of the process so easy. From getting to know us as a couple, to scouting locations (and sending us IN DEPTH options), to sending us a Wedding Day Bible to walk us through all the steps along the way (OMG it was AMAZING), to just being the best day-of, Alexandria was a dream. I don't think I will ever need to hire her as a wedding photographer again (ha!) but I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking to do an adventure wedding in the Washington area. Also, I might just need to hire her to walk around with me next time I am in Washington because she is that good. Thank you, Alexandria! You shine!

    Where to begin!! Alexandria was an absolute DREAM to work with. From the very beginning, I knew she was going to make our special day amazing. Her detailed Q&A and guide helped us narrow down the perfect location. She was easily accessible with any questions we had and allowed us to feel prepared (packing lists, how to apply for permits, etc). Her plan for the day got us all the best lighting and made for amazing photos. The photos truly speak for themselves!!
    Not only was her work ethic and photography amazing, Alexandria has the sweetest personality. She easily blended in with us which made the day feel so comfortable and relaxed. I would rave about working with her all day long!! We can’t thank her enough for making our elopement a dream come true.

    Alexandria is quite literally the best wedding photographer on the face of the planet - and I never exaggerate! ;) Not only did she capture our day so perfectly, but she catered to our exact vision and went above and beyond. Since my wedding, I've been telling all soon-to-be brides that the photographer is the most important vendor of the day because of how much time you spend with them, especially during intimate moments. Alexandria was so phenomenal to be around on our day and did such a great job of making sure we felt comfortable, had fun, and enjoyed the day. Not only is she amazingly talented, but just an all around lovely human. Thanks Alexandria for making our day the best ever!!!

    I can not say enough good things about Alexandria! We were very picky when choosing our photographer - expected as my husband is a photographer! We really wanted someone to capture our day, not just pose us for photos. Alexandria went above and beyond anything we could have hoped for. After looking at probably a dozen photographers we came across Alexandria, loved her approach that she stated on her site and wanted to talk to her more. Right away during our zoom interview with her we immediately felt at ease. Her friendly energetic personality absolutely shined and we knew right away she was the photographer we wanted. She was unbelievably helpful during the planning process, as we were getting married in Washington, but live in Michigan. We also had quite a few considerations when it came to our location, and she was so attentive to those details. She was extremely communicative leading up to the day of our wedding which was very reassuring. Wedding day she was phenomenal! She explained her thoughts and ideas so clearly they were really easy for us to understand and see her vision. She worked so well with our family, and blended in so naturally, I don't even remember her being there taking photographs during the ceremony. After the ceremony we had a small barbeque, then went on a hike just her, my husband and I. We had a blast hiking with Alexandria! She was so fun to work with, time absolutely flew by. We received our sneak peek photos so much faster than we were expecting and they are STUNNING!
