Hi, I'm Alex.

I was born in Santa Barbara, but raised in Ojai, where I grew up on a cute farm as the youngest of five.

I've been married for almost 10 years and have the coolest daughter, Rayne (pronounced Rain). Outside of photography, you'll find me thrifting, camping, riding dirt bikes, painting, or driving my old 1993 Bronco with the top off. I care deeply about the outdoors and try to live in a way that leaves a lighter footprint. I'm also someone who loves learning new things, picking up creative hobbies and spending time with my little family.


I started photographing weddings in 2020, almost by accident. I was originally in school to become a nurse, but I always felt pulled toward something more creative. I've loved taking photos since I was a kid, but I never imagined it could become my career. After sharing my work online, inquiries slowly started coming in and before I knew it, I was doing what I had always dreamed of.


Photography has given me the opportunity to witness some of life's most meaningful moments and that is something I never take for granted. My approach is simple. I want your wedding to feel like your wedding, not a photoshoot. I document the day as it naturally unfolds while creating space for timeless, artistic portraits that still feel like you. I shoot a lot of film because I love the honesty and nostalgia it brings and my editing stays true to the color.


If you choose me to document your wedding, my goal is to create photographs that feel honest, timeless, and full of life. Images that bring you right back to how it all felt years from now.
