The 'Why' behind ACT Photo
I appreciate you wanting to learn more about me, my team and how we strive to make you feel taken care of and beautiful along this season of celebration. I always feel a special connection to my clients, which after all, is really what this comes down to. That and a little bit of trust and art. In the end, we’re all just a collection of imperfect stories that deserve to be told. When you hand down your legacy, you’ll reach for the images when you find that the words aren’t quite enough.
At ACT Photo, all people are seen and welcomed with open arms and hearts. In this family we believe that Love is Love, Black Lives Matter, Science is real, no human is illegal and kindness is everything. Be yourselves, we’ll take care of the rest. We’ve got you, boo. xoxo
If you feel a connection to our work, please say hello. We would consider it a privilege to witness your day and document your story.

‘On the Wedding Day, we’ll move deliberately without imposing ourselves. Always directing you to beautiful light and only stepping in to fix a stray hair or a crooked boutonniere but never interrupting a special moment or the flow of the event.
We understand that you ‘Don’t like having your photograph taken’ and honestly, who does? A part of the curation of your experience with us is taking you out of your head and into your day. We’ll create a laid back environment, make you laugh and help you to relax and focus on your partner and the promises you just made to each other.
It’s an intimate thing to step into your world and experience your family, friends and how you all love and take care of one another. To watch how you love your partner is a privilege we don’t take lightly.
Please know that you are in thoughtful and professional hands when trusting us with such a momentous honor.

Meet Alex
I use my ‘outside’ voice a lot and have a propensity for brash laughter and bold choices (fashion, lifestyle, lipstick colors). My work evokes the same ‘Love Out Loud’ sentiment. I find that my clients are drawn to how I see the world and in turn how I see them. Your wedding day is a reflection of your style, personalities and how you love one another, the things that make you unique. These are things I notice and appreciate wholeheartedly.
I have an adventurous spirit and find that traveling to cross borders is my favorite indulgence, outside of any and all dessert (which includes a piece of your wedding cake) This makes your destination wedding a breeze as navigating new places has become a forte.
Throw in a bit of Southern Charm and a dash of extroverted enthusiasm and you’ve got the perfect recipe for a thoughtful and fun interaction with your family and friends.
This little business has grown to something I never could have imagined and my truest measure of success has been from the reactions and responses of my clients. I’ll be by your side not just to document your story, but to serve you in any way I can.
