Welcome, and congratulations on your engagement! I’m Alex and I am a Maryland based photographer, who loves to travel all over! My true calling is to serve others and help them create and document all the beautiful moments this life has to offer. I believe love should be celebrated as much as possible and I believe in creating beautiful and strong marriages, not just beautiful weddings!

I’m sure your mind is racing with all that needs to be planned. It’s all very exciting but it can also be somewhat overwhelming. You’re planning the day that you’ve been anticipating your whole life and yet you only get one shot at it! By the time you get the hang of it, the planning is over! My goal as a wedding photographer is to make this one aspect of the planning process simple. Photography is more than just images; it’s a real part of your day. Not only do you deserve beautiful images, you also deserve an amazing photographic experience. When my couples feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera, that results in genuine, joyful images! When I think back to my wedding day, I remember amazing memories.... but most of the moments I remember really well are the instances that were captured in my pictures. They are priceless to me. Our photographer made us feel so incredibly comfortable and for the first time, I experienced what it feels like to be in front of the camera as a bride. Your wedding day is an experience from beginning to end and your photography is a huge part of that experience..... shouldn’t it be fun? and enjoyable? and natural? I think so! My goal is to not only capture memories for my clients, it’s to create an experience that they will never forget.

I love connecting and building relationships with my clients so please visit my website (www.alexandramandatophoto.com) to learn more about me and my photographic approach! I can't wait to hear from you as well to learn more about you both and the big day!
