ABOUT ALEXA

I'm a New Jersey based wedding photographer who loves LOVE. I live with my husband, Tyler, our baby boy, Ryan, and our rescue pup, Felix, near the Jersey Shore.  I'm a sucker for golden hour and coastal venues. I absolutely love to travel and have been to over 20 countries, from Ireland to Thailand. When I'm not photographing, I'm FaceTiming my sister, drinking Rook cold brew (half caff with coconut milk and less ice, please!), browsing Target or reading the latest thriller GoodReads recommends me.

My photography focuses on joy and truth in a timeless, bright, magazine-worthy style.

HOW I GOT HERE

I graduated from James Madison University with a degree in Media Arts & Design and minor in Creative Writing. My dream was to work in the cutthroat women's magazine industry. I loved writing, reading and graphic design. But this was right around the time print publications began their decline. Magazines were folding left and right, and so were job openings. I landed on my feet on the other side of magazines: public relations. The firm I was at focused on clients in the beauty industry. To say it was glamorous was an understatement! I hustled behind the scenes at New York Fashion Week shows and helped host trendy launch parties.

Eventually, the Big Apple burned me out. I moved on to a job at a cozy tourism marketing agency where I did PR again for several years, plus produced television commercials - my favorite part!

So, where the heck does photography come in!? Well all this time I was working a side hustle assisting a wedding planner and photographer. I taught myself photography while shadowing them. I realized this was something I was pretty good at, and something I really, really enjoyed!

I noticed a pattern in my career path: my strongest skill lied in creative direction. Having the ability to tell a story in a beautiful manner. Piecing together the small details and painting an overarching theme. When I took the leap into entrepreneurship, I went back to my roots built a business on storytelling.
