ABOUT ALEX & CHRIS PHOTOGRAPHY

Alex & Chris Photography Logo

Life is a tapestry of beautiful moments – life’s greatest luxury. A light kiss on the shoulder. A nervous groom, eager to embrace his wife for the first time. A moment of tenderness shared beneath the veil. Three generations of hands, holding onto time. A dad and his two boys, playing barefoot in the stream. These are the moments that give expression to the inner peace of our lives, and the moments I love to capture.

Alex & Chris Photography is founded on the meaningful symbolism of the number three, and the three stripes in the logo represent my twin boys and I – “just the three of us” – and my connection to God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit. The leaning lines also speak to moving forward, and the role I play in capturing important phases of growth and movement in my clients’ lives – whether it’s marrying the person they love, celebrating the birth of a child, or raising a glass to a new business venture. All of this, together, form the foundation of everything that I do, and it inspires my honest and authentic approach to photography.

MY PHOTOGRAPHIC APPROACH

As a seasoned wedding and lifestyle photographer, I believe in letting the moment speak for itself. Through my raw, unpretentious documentary-style approach, I capture the drama, the magic, the energy, and the real people that give meaning to your story. When I stand behind the camera, my heart and soul are completely committed to capturing not just your image, but your story, your essence, your brand. It's not just about what you see, but what you feel when you look back at that moment. 

LET'S CREATE
