Kirsten Alexandria Photography

Kirsten Alexandria Photography is a wedding and elopement photographer based in Asheville, North Carolina. Kirsten works mostly across western North Carolina and also takes on weddings elsewhere in the country. Her approach is candid and unposed. She follows what happens rather than staging it, and her color editing keeps skin tones and greenery looking true to life.

Why she suits LGBTQ+ couples

This suits couples who want photos of how the day really felt, without being steered into stock poses built around a bride and groom. Kirsten openly describes herself as an ally, shares guidance on LGBTQ+ friendly venues, and her enquiry form asks for your pronouns from the start. It is a strong fit if you want a photographer who lets you be yourselves and records the day as it unfolds.

What she offers

• Full wedding day photography
• Elopement coverage for 25 guests or fewer, from two hours to a full day
• Engagement sessions
• 35mm film coverage included with every package
• An online gallery with printing rights
• A custom photo timeline, a planning guidebook and vendor recommendations

How she works

Kirsten keeps direction to a minimum and lets moments play out naturally, so you are not asked to repeat or fake anything for the camera. She shoots on both digital and film, and the two sets of images arrive together in one gallery. Before the wedding she helps you build a photo timeline and shares a planning guide. She carries insurance and can provide a certificate to your venue on request.

Where she covers

Most of her work is in Asheville and western North Carolina, including the Blue Ridge Mountains. Travel packages are available for weddings anywhere in the United States, with travel fees built into destination packages.
