Investment Guide
2025
Thanks for stopping by. I’m the type of person who thrives off that “type 2 fun” energy—fully in the moment, ready to explore, and always down to push past traditional boundaries in photography. I believe your day should feel like you—whatever that looks like. Every love story is different, and your wedding should be a reflection of that.
My approach is immersive. I’ll be right there with you—capturing the candid, the emotional, and the in-between moments with a documentary eye, while staying locked in on the details and everything unfolding around you.
Hey there!
I’m Alex.
Why Alex?
YOU MIGHT BE WONDERING...
There’s a lot to consider when choosing your photographer—and that’s fair. You want someone who’s not just showing up, but showing up with your vision in mind. I’ve got your back on communication, planning, and everything in between.
With a background in marketing, planning, and as a florist, I bring a well-rounded perspective to the table. I’m fully licensed, insured, drone- and video-capable, and every gallery includes behind-the-scenes moments from the day. No hidden fees, no fluff—just inclusive coverage, full day second shooters in all packages, and room to build in what you need.
Georgia & Jett
We contacted him needing a photographer for our micro wedding in Hidden Valley, Rocky Mountain National Park and he absolutely exceeded all of our expectations. We felt incredibly cared for and supported throughout the entire process. Alex checked in with us many times prior to our big day which was so nice. Day of he arrived to our location early to scope out the best spot for the ceremony, helped to coordinate and set up our family, and most importantly captured our day beyond our expectations. We received sneak peak shots the night of and our entire album after only 6 days!! Alex is incredibly hard working and talented. Everyone in our family is so impressed with the photos and asked where we found Alex! We couldn’t be more pleased with how they turned out. The photos are absolutely breathtaking!!! We recommend working with Alex to anyone and everyone.
Working with Alex was a dream!

The Process
AN OVERVIEW OF
Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely! My pricing guide outlines all wedding, elopement, and session collections. Hourly wedding coverage starts at $450/hour, with full wedding collections beginning at $4,000. Elopement collections start at $2,000.
The “Just the Roots” package is a flexible, budget-friendly option where you can start with hourly coverage and add on extras (like albums or video) later. If you have something specific in mind, just send a message—we’ll create something that works for you.
To get started, send a message with a bit of info about you and your plans. I’ll follow up within a day or two to schedule a quick call.
A non-refundable retainer of 25% is required to secure your date.
Couple sessions: 50% deposit, with optional payment plans.
Weddings, elopements, and video services: 25–30% deposit, with flexible, interest-free payment plans to make things easier.
On average, I deliver 50–100 images per hour of coverage. This can vary depending on travel time, weather, outfit changes, and the complexity of the day. I focus on telling your full story—not just the highlights—so you’ll get a thoughtful mix of candids, moments, and portraits without filler or duplicates.
I do! I love working with couples all over. Having grown up in Chicago, travel to the Midwest (Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan, Indiana) is easy—and so are destinations like Seattle, Portland, or beyond.
I offer a flat-rate travel package that includes flights, lodging, meals, and transportation, so there are no surprises. International wedding coverage starts at $7,000, all-inclusive. If you’ve already booked accommodations, I can adjust pricing. I'm always happy to find ways to reduce travel costs if it helps you—whether that's driving or arranging my own stay.
Life happens—and flexibility matters. For weddings and elopements: You can cancel up to 30 days before your date, but the retainer is non-refundable. For couples and family sessions: You have up to 7 days to cancel. If we can’t reschedule, the retainer is still non-refundable. I always aim to be understanding and helpful—so just send a text or email if you need to make adjustments.
