Daydreamer Wedding Stories
Texas | California | Destination
Hey there, dreamer...
Wedding photography is important to you, but the choices are overwhelming. So where do you even start?
Well honey, you've came to the right place.
- My work is for you if you want photography that is going to accentuate the people that you are and the love that you have for each other. No love story is the same. You want an artist that will advocate for you and stay true when it comes to documenting your romance.
- My work is for you if you like bold tones, warmth, vibrance, true-to-life colors and an emphasis on preserving natural skin-tones.
- My work is for you if you like a fun, laid back, and photojournalistic approach. Stiff, rigid and posed is never an option. Some traditional portraits are required, but candid shots are KING. Laughter, momentum, emotion, the b-roll. The in-between moments are what makes my heart dance.

ABOUT
If this resonates with you, I am your photographer. Let's Make your dreams come true!
Your forever starts here. Dare to dream.
MEET the woman who started it all.
I'M JUST A CURLY-HEADED, GOOFY SOUTHERN CALIFORNIAN GAL with a FIERY personality, and a passion for preserving the dreamiest and purest forms of love.
I curse like a sailor and laugh like a loon. I've always got a camera in-hand to seize all of your most precious moments filled with laughter, spontaneity, tears and adventure.
I'm here for the wild hearts, the hopeless romantics, the obsessed star-crossed lovers. People that trust my vision. I capture bold, beautiful and emotive stills that will forever inspire and transport you back to the very place that the two of you became one.
WHEN I'M NOT BEING the most amazing third wheel you've ever had, YOU CAN FIND ME CHASING MY KIDDOS AROUND THE HOUSE, FACETIMING MY SISTER, PLAYING WITH my fur babies: PEPPER & cici, SIPPING On my life-force: STARBUCKS, traveling the world, dancing my ass off at wedding receptions (yes, that includes yours), and spending quality time in nature.

Rob and I are Wedding Videographers in the industry, so when we stumbled across Alexis' work, we knew immediately that we wanted her to photograph our wedding day. We really love the colors and the tones with her editing, and resonated with the candid shots that she creates. We wanted something genuine, not 100% posed and authentic to our personalities.
From the consultation all the way to the day of, she was very communicative and answered any questions that we had. She made us feel comfortable, at ease, and she had so many fun suggestions. Her assistant was amazing too! The both of them even got on the dance floor with us! We highly recommend Alexis to anyone and everyone!
our personalities and vision for our wedding perfectly."
"She REALLY captured
Terrye & Robert
A fun-filled affair The Springs | Dallas, TX
I found Alexis online and Joe and I decided to meet at the Coffee Klatch in Southern California when she was visiting her family. We instantly clicked and was so excited to work with her.
Then the pandemic happened and we had to reschedule our wedding TWICE. Alexis was so understanding and made the process easy. We did our engagement session in Yosemite. We got there before the sun rose and ventured around in nature, just talking and laughing and having fun. I was a little nervous about the both of us posing and looking relaxed, but she reassured us and made us just feel so damn good.
Our wedding day was nothing short of a dream. Alexis really impressed our guests and our families with her outgoing personality, and quick thinking on the wedding day. We seriously are obsessed with our pictures. She and her team are AMAZING!
BEAUTIFUL &
PHOTOGENIC!"
"I'm never felt more
Amanda & Joe
A gorgeous destination wedding in los angeles, california
As a bride, finding a photographer can be an overwhelming choice. When we discovered Alexis and her team, we knew immediately that she was the one! Our personalities just meshed so well. Our package included an engagement session as well as wedding coverage... so by the time our wedding arrived, we were just so close. I completely trusted her direction and guidance. She made me feel beautiful and made my husband (who absolutely hates getting his picture taken) confident and relaxed.
I worked so hard to bring my vision to life. A lot of my wedding decor was DIY and I created a lot of things myself. She captured it perfectly and I will forever be so happy that we chose her! We truly consider her a forever friend.
and made our special day Incredible."
"She really had our back
Taylor + Chris
The Nest at ruth Farms | Ponder, TX
My sister who is also a wedding photographer recommended Alexis to me. The connection was instant and when we spoke it felt like we had known each other for years.
She made the process so incredibly easy. She answered all of our questions, helped us with finding an engagement session location and gave us guidance with what was best to wear. We really wanted a more relaxed sort of session. We were both really nervous before and she just made us feel like a million bucks. We couldn't stop laughing and she captured us so well.
Alexis really exceeded our expectations and we're even more excited for her to be a part of our wedding day!
We couldn't stop smiling."
"She just made us feel so good.
Ashley & Jacob
Engagement Session at Arbor HilLs | Plano, TX
From the moment we had our consult, Alexis made the booking and planning process so simple.
We booked an engagement session and coverage for our destination wedding in Cancun, Quintana Roo for July of 2022!
Alexis truly has such an easy going way about her. She was so pleasant to work with, made us laugh like crazy, gave us so much guidance, and OUR ENGAGEMENT PHOTOS LOOK LIKE THEY'RE STRAIGHT OUT OF A MAGAZINE!
I highly recommend her to anyone who needs a little bit of help breaking out of their shell and letting loose.
We are so happy to have crossed paths with her and we know that our wedding in Mexico is going to be the experience of a lifetime!
Confident and comfortable!"
"She made us feel so
Arianna & Jordan
Engagement Session at Rockledge Park | Grapevine, TX
First of all, I really have to say how impressed I was with the ability Alexis has to make someone completely forget that they have a camera in their face. My fiance Mark has always been nervous when it came to taking pictures. Genuine smiles were hard to come by, let alone a legitimate laugh. BUT LOOK AT HIM HERE! LOOK AT BOTH OF US. The way Alexis captured us is nothing like we have ever experienced before. I look at our engagement gallery in such awe because we we were just so genuinely happy and the joy and emotion just really shines through. We are having a fall wedding this year and we know without a doubt Alexis will make our day so fun and memorable. She has been so amazing to work with on this journey. I seriously recommend her to everyone I know!
with our journey to be married!"
"I'm so glad we chose Alexis and trusted her
