    The Photographer You Need

    Alex is incredible. What first drew me to her page was her portfolio and her use of light. I was concerned with us having a winter wedding where the sunlight is rare, and it was super important for us to find someone who knew how to find natural light sources or create them! Alex was super responsive and was quick to send me examples of her work in low lighting wedding days and how they turned out! She is truly talented. She was a crucial part of our wedding day helping us create a timeline and keeping us on track, one of the reasons we didn't hire a planner! She kept the day moving and wasn't afraid to hurt anybody's feelings to keep them moving on timeline and get the most beautiful photos she can. You can tell how much passion she has for her work and editing, we got the photos right on timeline and she even offers the opportunity to create a BEAUTIFUL custom wedding album. Check out her portfolio, it speaks for itself!

    If you’re thinking about booking Alex, just do it!

    I don’t even know the right words to describe what an amazing photographer Alex is! I was very specific about the type of photos I liked, and after searching and looking at many photographers profiles my husband found Alex. Booking her was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! She was extremely kind, very professional, and the photos turned out absolutely amazing! They are exactly what we hoped for to help us remember our special day. We were extremely grateful for her attention to detail and thoughtfulness through the entire process. Needless to say, if you are considering working with her, do it! She will certainly be our first call for any photography needs in the future!

    Working with Alex was a DREAM

    Alex is extremely talented and professional. We could not be more happy with how our wedding photos turned out. She was able to accommodate the last-minute changes in plans due to the pandemic and she was still able to make sure our pictures turned out beautiful. I would recommend her 1000x over!

    Amazing photographer!

    Alex was an absolute pleasure to work with for our engagement and wedding photos! She made us feel comfortable and kept us laughing the entire time. We could not be more happy with how our wedding photos turned out! Alex is personable, talented, and professional. She takes time to capture all of the small details and every emotion of the day. Receiving our gallery was such a special moment where we were able to relive one of our most special days thus far. We have received so many compliments on our wedding gallery and hope to have the opportunity to work with Alex again in the future! Thank you Alex!

    Simply Amazing

    Alex was a pleasure to work with! We first started taking family photos with our golden puppy, and then did our wedding pictures about 8 months later. Alex loves the use of natural light and our photos were unbelievable. She took her time and made every photo look perfect. Alex captures all the small details and that's what we were looking for. Highly recommend Alex for your upcoming event! We have had so many compliments on our photos and I couldn't have imagined being without her on our special day!

    Alex is Amazing

    We worked with Alex to do both our engagement pictures and our wedding ceremony. She was a pleasure to work with and made us feel so comfortable. She went above and beyond to make dealing with COVID logistics and replanning less stressful. We ended up doing a small courthouse wedding ceremony, and the pictures are breathtaking! I would highly recommend Alex! She is an amazing photographer!

    So happy we chose Alex!

    Choosing Alex to be our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. During the planning process, she helped us with a timeline of events, which was really helpful. She was kind, thoughtful and super accommodating. Our pictures came back to us in less than two weeks and they were beautiful. Highly recommend!

    Courthouse wedding and picturws

    My husband and my nine month old daughter went to the courthouse to get married (our big wedding a year and half away). We decided last minute we wanted pictures and we picked the right photographer. She was on time, and didn’t have issues waiting for us to get called in, and dealing with our little one. She was great with our daughter when she got fussy later as the day progressed. The pictures are just beautiful and just what I hoped for! If she did other things other than wedding pictures I would totally get her again!

    A wonderful experience

    I found Alex's info from Instagram and my fiancé and I decided to meet with her based on how impressed we were with the pictures on her website. She came to the meeting with many photo books and examples of her work, which were all excellent. Alex made a great first impression – she was on time, professional, very outgoing and happy to answer all our questions. We decided to book her, which was very reasonably priced, and I’m so happy we did. All of our impressions of her from our initial meeting held true through the whole process. I actually never had to get a hold of Alex with any questions, she initiated contact with me either just to check in, or remind me of the due dates for the shot list, final payment, etc., which I really appreciated since I had so many deadlines and dates in my head. Almost 6 weeks later I had the online gallery of all the shots just like she had promised. We couldn’t have been happier with the pictures she took, they’re amazing and we’re so excited to get our completed album and hang our favorites.

    Overall a wonderful experience

    you need to have Alex do your wedding!!

    Alex exceeded our expectations! She was on time, professional, funny, caring, and everything you’d want from a photographer. She also takes such amazing photos and has a very creative mind. I would recommend Alex for anyone getting married!!
    Also! We got married on August 8th after rescheduling our June 6th date due to COVID. Alex was flexible and understanding when we were rescheduling. She was also very safe and aware of safety while taking pictures at our wedding. If you are a COVID bride, she should be your top choice ☺️

    AMAZING Photographer!!!

    We were so incredibly lucky to have Alex as our wedding photographer. She was extremely kind and flexible from the start, especially with us needing to postpone our wedding due to COVID a year ago. When we were finally able to have our wedding, Alex was there with us every step of the way and even eased my anxiety during the morning of while I was getting ready. She always has a smile on her face and she is so well organized that I knew I didn't have to stress about that part of the day.

    Thank you for making our wedding absolutely PERFECT!

    Amazing Photographer

    I cannot say enough amazing things about our experience with Alexandra! We recently took our engagement pictures with her and hired her on the spot for our May wedding because of her professionalism, photography skills and creativity. She was so easy to work with and gave the perfect amount of direction to my Fiance and I. The pictures came out better than I could have ever imagined with an extremely quick turn around time. She is responsive, flexible with Chicago’s weather and is an incredible photographer. We really lucked out finding her!

    Truly the best!

    Alex was exactly what we were looking for and so much more! She brought so many different ideas to the table and was flexible when accommodating to our needs. Her excitement was contagious! Meeting with Alex is like meeting with an old friend. Dealing with wedding logistics can be stressful, but she always made things fun. When finalizing on a location for our first look, Alex took time out of her day to come check it out with us. She even went with us to the hotel room to see what the lighting would be like! If you're looking for a photographer who is detail-oriented, passionate, and enjoyable, Alex is your girl!

    A True Gem

    We couldn't be happier with our experience with Alex! Amazing organization, great eye for detail and design, and she went above and beyond for our special day! She took the time to understand our needs, what we wanted on our wedding day, and was always fast to communicate early and often with us. One of our favorite things was getting to see Alex's love for her work! She would stop and do a little dance because she was so excited with the shots she was getting and couldn't wait to get home to edit! She delivered above and beyond our expectations and truly was a joy to work with. If we had to do our wedding all over again, we would not hesitate to hire Alex!

    Book her while you can!

    Picking a photographer was one of my most difficult decisions while planning a wedding. It was one of the most important choices to me because I knew memories may fade but the pictures would be around to remind me of the day. I immediately liked Alex's portfolio and how all of her images are so light and ethereal. Meeting her in person instantly sealed the deal for me. She is incredibly friendly yet still very professional. My husband and I are both not very comfortable in front of the camera, and she made us feel at ease throughout every meeting. I have an unpredictable work schedule, and she was very flexible with meeting times and location. She also had a very quick turnaround getting use the pictures after the engagement shoot and wedding shoot. She is so passionate about finding the best lighting and it shows! There is almost a soft glow and character to her pictures that is just stunning. I cannot recommend her enough!

    August 2019

    Alex was amazing! The photographs are beautiful and she was incredibly helpful and professional. She kept us on your timeline but was also flexible when we inevitably ended up wanting photographs with guests that we hadn’t planned prior. We couldn’t have done it without her!

    Great experience with such a talented photographer

    I am so glad that I found Alex! She is such a talented individual, but also very professional. We got our photos in a week, they were amazing! Exactly what I wanted, and why I chose her, as her work matched with my style. She was so easy to work with and easy going. Great sense of direction, but our phots ended up looking so natural! If you chose her you will thank me, and trust me you want to chose her, if of course your style matches up with hers. Thank you Alex!

    Amazing Photographer!

    Alexandra was absolutely incredible! We thoroughly enjoyed working with her every step of the way! We couldn't have asked for a more amazing photographer! Not only is she really talented but she also has a delightful personality. She was kind, funny, and made everything a breeze. Throughout the day of our wedding she was absolutely amazing and went out of her way to help out in any way she could! She even let me borrow her flats when I could no longer walk in my heels. We were very blessed to have her be a part of our special day! Hiring her as our photographer was the best decision we made throughout our whole wedding planning process. Thank you for the beautiful pictures and for all your hard work! Much love to you Alex💕
