Working with her

Alexandra has a bubbly personality and creates an environment where clients feel celebrated and at ease. Meet or video call before booking, and check that her energy matches yours. Ask how she plans portraits and group photos, and how she handles a tight schedule. Share a list of the people you want pictured together, and say if there are family dynamics she should know about. A boudoir session is a separate booking, so ask how to schedule it well before the wedding if you want it.

Planning in Los Angeles

Los Angeles weddings often involve travel between locations, so allow generous time for traffic. Ask about permits for public places, since some parks and beaches require them for professional photography. For destination weddings, ask about travel terms, accommodation and extra coverage. Check passport and visa needs for the photographer too, and plan a longer timeline if a ceremony on a beach or a hillside depends on sunset.

Questions couples ask

Does she travel?

Yes. She is available for destination weddings.

Can we book portraits as well?

Yes. Engagement sessions and portraiture are part of the work, so a session before the wedding is an option.
