    Stunning and Comfortable Photography Experience

    We had such a relaxed and easy time booking with Wild Native Photography for our wedding. Alexa and Sara were so excited, helpful and wonderful with our us and our guests. We are so grateful for their kind words, great job organizing guests and getting posed as well as candid photos of the special day. My wedding was very diverse in gender, being heavily tattooed, ethnicity, race, ages, etc. Often times in the wedding industry, we are made to feel uncomfortable, but the photographers made us ALL feel accepted and welcome. So I would highly recommend them for diverse/lgtbq+ events. We had so many great photos to choose from and we cannot stop looking at them! Great job Alexa and Sara! You are awesome!

    Thank you Wild Native

    Five stars are not enough! I found Wild Native Photography via Instagram at the start of my wedding planning and I am so glad I did! We loved the style from their photos - and even better we loved Sara too! We are so happy that we had Sara as our photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos.

    Sara took time to get to know us and our goals for our wedding by ask us questions and made sure we had all of the information we needed. During our engagement photos, Sara's style made the experience fun and we felt so comfortable.

    Leading up to the wedding, Sara was easy to communicate with and was very responsive. We checked in close to the wedding to discuss last minute details. She had great ideas to make our day run smoothy while fitting in all of the photos we wanted. I was so reassured with Sara's plan for everything.

    On wedding day, Sara was flexible with our other vendors, willing to work with last minute changes, and very professional. I so appreciated her calmness during the busy day! I can't wait to relive our big day through her work. THANK YOU SARA!

    Incredible wedding photographers!

    I cannot recommend Wild Native Photo enough!! Sara was wonderful to work with and really helped make our wedding day come together perfectly. Before the wedding, Sara helped me plan a detailed timeline and schedule and she scouted out several potential locations for wedding party photos. On the day of, she made sure we were on time throughout the day and coordinated with the venue and other vendors to keep things running smoothly. Also, Sara guided us through poses and made taking photos feel natural, and more importantly, kept us having fun the whole day. She was very efficient with the family portraits and made sure we were able to join cocktail hour with our guests. They both went above and beyond taking photos as well, always helping me with my dress and carrying flowers or water for us. I am so excited to see all the wedding photos and relive the day all over again!

    So Very Thankful!

    It took us a few weeks, but we did not want to forget our favorite photographers! One of the biggest stress factors of our wedding was being photographed. Neither myself nor my now wife likes having our picture taken. It has always made us uncomfortable. Sara and Alexa could not have made us feel more comfortable the day of the wedding. They are two of the sweetest, kindest, most patient human beings that we have ever had the pleasure of meeting. The day of our wedding, they could not have been more patient with us. They not only alleviated any stress that we had about it, but allowed us to be comfortable enough to actually have fun with it. Their energy is amazing, as well as there artistic free style!
    If you are in need of a photographer, do not hesitate in hiring Wild Native Photography. You will not regret it, in fact you will be as thankful as we are for them! 5 stars all the way!

    Insanely talented!

    Alexa and her team are INCREDIBLE! I've worked with her a handful of times and every time I find out we are doing a wedding together I get so excited. Alexa and anyone that she works with are SO down to Earth, authentic and professional. Plus, the talent level is just off the charts. I don't even know how they get the pictures they do, and legit every time I see one of their posts I have to stop in awe of the artwork. It's always something that reminds me of a photo you would see in a magazine. HIGHLY recommend if you want photos that will blow you away and a dope personality to back it up.

    Wild Native goes Above & Beyond!

    My now husband and I found Wild Native (Alexa) on Instagram while searching for wedding photographers shortly after we got engaged. We immediately loved her work — little did we know we would also immediately adore her! After contacting her with interest, she sent us over some galleries to get a better feel for her work. We then scheduled a phone consult to talk about packages and what her and her partners offered for weddings. Wild native is more than accommodating for no matter how much or how little you’re looking for! Our original plans were 10.10.20 at 7 springs but covid has other plans for us! We decided we still wanted to be married on our original date, with just family. We also knew we didn’t just want, but needed Alexa to capture such precious memories, even though we still planned to have our big reception later. She was more than accommodating and extremely excited to be able to capture our day, although very different! If you’re looking for a hype girl to make you feel comfortable behind the camera on your wedding day Alexa and wild native will do and be just that. Not to mention, she brings your day back to life with her work!! We couldn’t be more thankful we chose Alexa & Wild Native and are so excited to have them join us again this year for our reception with friends!

    If you’re still looking for a photographer. Search no more.. you’re not going to find a better Photographer or human being.

    LOVE. I can’t say enough amazing things about Sara from WildNative. From our first meeting to the final delivery of our wedding photos, she was kind, creative and responsive. She not only took the time to get to know my fiancé and I, but she also worked overtime to make our engagement & wedding photos absolutely perfect. She prepped for our shoots by scouting out unique locations for our engagement photos. I didn’t want “the same wedding photos” as everyone else, and Sara hit the nail right on the head by capturing our entire wedding through a creative lens. Honestly, I could go on and on about her. Picking WildNative as your photographer will be the best and easiest decision you’ll ever make!!

    Incredible experience!

    Alexa at Wild Native was the most professional, incredible photographer we could have asked for! Our engagement photos and wedding day photos are amazing! They have received a lot of praise from all of our family/friends. Alexa traveled out of state for our wedding to photograph it, making our special day that much more special! She made the process so easy and we can't say enough good things about our experience working with her.

    Incredible Service & SO Fun

    Wild Native photographed our engagement photos and then wedding in September 2020. We absolutely LOVED working with Wild Native throughout the whole process. They were extremely responsive, genuinely cared about our day, and were so fun to work with! We did not choose to have a videographer at our wedding, so the photos held significant importance for us. Wild Native 100% delivered! The photos are incredible! My husband and I couldn’t stop looking at our gallery. Wild Native captures everything we valued about our wedding - love, family, and friends. These photos are irreplaceable and we will cherish them forever!

    The Best!!

    These ladies are the best! From initial planning and communication, sticking with us and being so accommodating with our covid date change, down to the final product. Our photos truly represent our wedding day the way we remember it. My favorite thing is all of the captured details that we never even noticed were so special... and the photos of our guests prior to the ceremony. It was so heartwarming to see all of those beautiful moments we were not directly present for captured so perfectly. 100% recommend!

    You'll never find a better photographer!

    Alexa is hands down the best photographer around. If you're looking for someone to photograph you, your family, your wedding, whatever you need, you don't need to look anywhere else. She has such an incredible personality and makes you feel so comfortable to be in front of the camera, and for someone who hates being in front of a camera, that's not an easy task.

    We hired Wild Native for our wedding photos because of the work we had seen her do with other weddings. We knew from the start we didn't want anyone else. Her work speaks for itself. She has such an eye for detail that comes naturally to her. She makes the whole process fun and makes you feel great while doing it.

    These pictures she has taken for us are absolutely more than I ever could have dreamed of or asked for. No other photographers even comes close to her work, and we are so grateful to have had her capture these sweet moments in time. It makes me so excited to think of what is to come. She definitely did not disappoint; she totally blew all of our expectations out of the water.

    At the end of the day, photos are what you have to look back and remember the most important moments in your life, and it's not something you should trust just anyone with, and I would never want anyone but Alexa to do that for us.

    The most talented photographer!!!!

    Choosing Wild Native photography for capturing our wedding was the best was the best decision that we made. We met Sara over a coffee and we were convinced that she is the right person for our wedding photography. She is an amazing artist and has a very keen eye for capturing the moment, feeling and the details. Sara also did our engagement photoshoot. The pictures for our wedding and engagement were stunning. She was able to portray our real personalities through her photoshoot. Sara was very patient with us and made us very comfortable and confident to pose and made the experience very memorable. Sara along with Michelle were a trooper on our wedding day. It was really cold, but they did an excellent job at getting every picture that we wanted. We cannot stop looking at our pictures repeatedly. We got tremendous amount of compliments from all our friends and family for the photographs that Sara has captured. We cannot thank enough for capturing our wedding day so nicely and capturing the feel that we yearned for. We could not have asked for a better photographer than Sara and Michelle from Wild Native!!

    Yes, yes, yaasss!

    We wanted a talented photographer who was open to a same-sex wedding - From our very first meeting, we were hooked by Alexa’s artistry and her genuine excitement for ALL marriages! When the day arrived, Alexa and her partner were professional, friendly, and insanely creative. In our photos, she captured the purest moments of our big day - the love, the energy, and every intimate detail. We are not only pleased, but we are thrilled to have hundreds of images that chronicle our wedding, showcase our friends and loved ones, and remind us of our biggest milestone to date!

    SO talented & caring

    Alexa and Sara are unreal. The short version- hire them if you want stunning pictures taken by fun, kind, great humans.

    The long version- I honestly don't know how to describe how talented they are. Our photos are all (and I really mean all) SO. FREAKING. GOOD. All the happiness we felt that day comes through every picture. The shots are so well thought out, all of the personal details were captured, the coloring and lighting in each is perfect. Just take a look at their Instagram for a second, and you'll see how talented they are. Everyone that looked at our photos told us how well the feeling of our day came through, and how much of our personalities you could see. Every time I look at our album, I find another photo that becomes my favorite.

    Photography was by far the most important thing to me, and it took me a long time to choose a photographer. We planned an NJ wedding while living in Pittsburgh, and weren't sure about hiring a non- NJ local photog. But throughout the whole process, I kept coming back to Wild Native, and using them as the bar for the quality & feel I wanted. When I realized I was doing that, I knew we had to hire Wild Native. I'm so so happy with our decision, and can't wait to continue using them to mark the events of our lives.

    Through every part of the process, Alexa was just so present and attentive (I was texting her outfit options THE NIGHT before our engagement photos and she was so helpful and kind). She helped us execute our kind of out-there vision for our engagement photos, was really patient with our outfit changes, and suggested such great locations when our first pick fell through.

    Also, right before the wedding, she was really on top of asking me all the stuff my bride brain was forgetting and super understanding.

    Most importantly, on our wedding day, Alexa and Sara were just so much fun to be around. They helped all the portraits go smoothly (even when we had some delays from our limo). They were really accommodating to in-the-moment requests. There were a few other wedding parties taking their pictures at the same place, but since A & S had scoped out the portrait location beforehand, we got to take our pictures without any issue. They're just really great people to have with you on your wedding day, and I'm so glad they were at mine.

    Yes. A million times, yes.

    My husband (then fiance!) and I live in Los Angeles but I am from Pittsburgh and we both knew that's where we'd be married. We started looking through countless wedding photographers and nothing was really catching our eye. Finally I resorted to Pittsburgh wedding hashtags and I'm not kidding, the SECOND we saw Alexa's photos we both knew. She was THE ONE. She has such an eye for detail and we also really appreciate her tonal preferences and how she uses and appreciates light. We love when photos have a feeling and when you can feel that feeling just by looking at the photo- even if you weren't there- and hers are exactly that. The added bonus is that she's an awesome person. From our first meeting we knew we were in great hands. She never skipped a beat with keeping up with all of our info and was always very quick to reply to any concerns/questions we had regarding timeline, info she needed from us, etc. Louie and I never have our picture taken and were both worried about it being terribly awkward and come wedding day it was the exact opposite of that. It was honestly like we were all just hanging out and she happened to want to take pictures of us. Alexa is extremely professional and is the perfect balance of business owner and creative fun. She'll fit right in with your wedding crew and become one of the best parts of your day which is extra special for everyone feeling comfortable about having a lot of candid pictures taken all day. We can't thank her enough and you'd be crazy not to book her- LOOK AT HER INSTAGRAM- how could you not? It speaks for itself. We appreciate you and your art, THANK YOU!!! ❤️

    I cannot say enough about the Wild Native Photography team. My husband Drew and I gawked over the Wild Native Instagram and Website and knew we needed them to capture our special day. But with my husband and I living in Colorado, Wild Native located in Pennsylvania/West Virginia, and planning a wedding in Maryland – we were a little nervous to work with a team that we weren’t able to meet with in person until the day-of! However, after just one phone call with Alexa, we knew that we could trust her with all our photography needs and to bring our vision to life!

    Alexa is truly one hell of an artist and knows how to run a business! She recommended Sara (her associate) to photograph our wedding, and after seeing just a few pictures in her portfolio, we were obsessed! Her photos were bold, passionate, detailed, and satisfied every adjective we wanted to be able to use when we described OUR day.

    Sara went above and beyond in every aspect of being a photographer - she helped us plan our day, made recommendations, had calls to answer any and all questions, made us laugh and smile BIG, continuously fixed the train on my dress, and ensured that we got all the pictures we wanted before the day was over.

    To sum it up, Sara captured every intimate aspect (even with a few on-the-spot changes thrown at her) and invited us to be who we are as a couple. Not to mention that she is incredibly kind and welcoming – someone who you want to be friends with in real-life! Alexa & Sara – If you ever want to come to Colorado, we are your people. 

    We plan to use Wild Native Photography again and again to capture all of our adventures yet to come.

    I had seen lots of Wild Native photos before I had even gotten engaged and they were always so stunning! After I became engaged, I already knew who I wanted for my wedding photos! Alexa is such an amazing and awesome person!! She was so down to earth and easy to work with! She captured so many of my favorite moments from our wedding that it was so hard to choose which ones we wanted to print off and we were given so many photos! She has a great eye for the perfect shot and she was a lot of fun to have as our photographer! I would recommend her to anyone and I do! Having her being your photographer would be one of the best and easiest decisions you could make!! ???

    Alexa is an absolute gem. She couldn't have made me feel more comfortable and 'chilled out' on a day that could have proven incredibly stressful. She seemed to immediately get me, as well as my groom and I as a couple, and carried out her incredible creativity and eye for photography with us seamlessly on our wedding day. She made us laugh and more importantly, made the process of getting all the shots we had requested, cathartic and organic rather than a chore or a checkbox. She's a beautiful and kind person and her work, unparalleled in my eyes. I cannot wait to see more! I would HIGHLY recommend Wild Native Photography.

    Alexa was amazing! After viewing her work online, without hesitation, we called and booked her. She is so talented and so much fun! She was also extremely patient and flexible with us and our whole wedding party, guests, etc. She was quick to respond when I needed to ask her something. We are so happy with our wedding pictures! I would highly recommend Wild Native Photograhpy!

    Wild Native shot our wedding, what Alexa captured were beautiful once in a lifetime moments. I keep all the photos on my iphone and ipad so I can look at them anytime. It was beautiful day that was captured forever not just by a talented artist but a friendly and caring person.
