Born and raised in Texas but addicted to travel and shooting small-ish, untraditional weddings all over. Husband. Father. Coffee snob. And I dig all things Seinfield related. I started working as a freelance photographer in 2002 for 2 local news papers and 1 local magazine in my hometown. That time working for those publications helped me learn how to watch and wait for moments to unfold. I approach each wedding as its own unique and original event. No preconceived plans. No cookie-cutter ideas for your wedding day. Just honest moments being photographed undisturbed. My 3 children give me lots of practice photographing life as it unfolds before me in unpredictable fashion. I believe it is in those moments that true beauty is found. That's why I don't believe that I need to try and control your wedding day, but rather let the day unfold without interruption. It's the honest moments you are going to reflect on with true emotion, not the staged and posed. Be real, because life is too short not to be. [Dallas-Fort Worth Wedding Photographer]

Photographs have been preserving stories and memories in my family since the 1940s. Growing up, I always loved visiting my grandparents’ house - which always had walls filled with photos! It didn’t take long for me to pick up an interest in taking pictures. And sometimes, all it takes is one very special moment in life - where an event happens that shapes your entire future. A serendipitous experience occurs. An idea comes to you that changes your career path or, perhaps most importantly, the day that you meet your love. I want to share with you the moment that lead to my decision that telling your story through photographs was what I was meant to do. I was at my Grandma's 80th birthday party. I had just started getting the hang of operating my camera and was taking photographs during the celebration. What happened next was one of those moments that has just stayed etched in my brain. With the lights dimmed and the candles on the cake lit, we all sang a botched yet perfect version of the happy birthday song. As we held out that last note, my grandpa jumped up - lightning fast! He pulled my grandma in for a hug and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. This was more affection than I’ve never seen him show in my entire life. Capturing the emotion and energy in this photo made me think... with my grandparents’ health and memory fading I realized the value of preserving authentic moments and making them real - in print. It was on that day I decided that every couple deserves to feel the way my grandparents did at that moment. Ten years from now, when you re-experience your special day through your wedding album, you will instantly transport back to the memories and feelings of who you love, and why you love them.

Hi! I’m Alex, a wedding and portrait photographer based out of Oklahoma City. I accidentally stumbled into photography while in college... You see, I was taking an intro class simply out of necessity as an elective for my declared PR major. At the end of the semester, we were assigned to document something and tell its story with a photo essay. I redid this assignment 3 times before landing on one I liked, which was completely out of my comfort zone. I eventually received my graded project with a handwritten note that read: “I hope you continue to keep telling stories." Well, I did -- and here I am. I would later graduate from the University of Central Oklahoma with a BA in Photographic Arts, under the tutelage of two renown, innovative, and incredibly inspiring professors. Along with shooting weddings, I continue to refine my skills and knowledge by pursuing further education via conferences, lectures, and books from the greatest photography minds past and present. And although this was never my plan, I have now officially stepped into the role of educator myself. From guest teaching in a classroom setting at UCO, to demonstrating on-location posing, to speaking at conferences such as PhotoCon and Photo Expo. Let me tell you, it's probably a relief to all my friends and family that I now have an actual outlet to talk about anything photography/LR related. (I really love talking shop.) Photography is my life, and I'm continually in awe that it's also my career. Everyone wants their dream job, and I can truly say I have mine. [Oklahoma Wedding Photographer]
