I’m a goofy, cheese curd loving, Badger alumni at heart and found my home in the mountains of WA. But I'm also your Washington Elopement Photographer, based near Seattle! I'm always exploring so I have in years of built up knowledge about my state - from weather patterns to hikes to location accessibility etc so you don't miss a beat. Currently my favorite park is Olympic National Park!
Like you, I’m a person who thrives better in smaller groups and values the little moments through life. I am so fulfilled when I can disconnect, getaway in nature, and spend time with the ones I love most.
Have you also found yourself loving small, fulfilling experiences? And want to incorporate this into your wedding day?

PHOTOS ARE TANGIBLE THINGs THAT HELP US RELIVE SPECIAL MOMENTS IN LIFE
Intentional wedding choices usually mean your day is going to reflect you and your partner in the best way possible, like:
Who you choose to invite
The venue of your Dreams
A Whiskey tasting for your guests
that food truck that had rave reviews
any activity you add to elevate your day
Photos can remind you of how you felt in those moments, not just what you looked like.
Pull out your phone and scroll to a random image from a year ago. How did that photo make you feel? What else did it make you remember?
Will you remember how your abs hurt after you busted out laughing because of a joke your Dad made during a speech? Or do you remember the rush of excitement the first time you saw your partner in your wedding attire? Or maybe how cool and salty the air you breathed in felt as you sat and watched the sunset from your ocean venue?
As a photographer, I want you to be able to live in those authentic moments and then be able to relive them whenever you look at the photos. I intentionally shoot more candidly to accomplish this, rather than posing you all day. I will help direct portraits and activities for best light and location or fun photo opportunities I have in my head, but ultimately I want you to be able to look back on your final gallery and remember how you felt in the moment for many years to come.
Yes, I want to relive my day for many years to come!
This is what it's like working with me!
Micro Wedding
She captured EVERY moment, emotion, smile, tear, laugh (literally every single one -- I don't know how she does it). I usually hate my pictures, but there were so many to choose from and we all still gush over our wedding photos. Alexandria has a very unique way about her, where she carries herself so professionally, but can make you feel like you've known each other for years at the same time. She has such an ease about her, yet she is very intentional about what she does. She is SO insanely talented, and is as good a person as she is a photographer. She is a unicorn; we would not have been able to have half the wedding we did without her. This is one easy decision you'll never regret if you book her. Wishing you all the best, safe, and happy wedding planning!

Olympic National Park Elopement
Alexandria was great to work with both prior-to and on the day of the wedding - really happy with the service she offers.
She's accumulated an abundance of knowledge of where the perfect elopement locations around WA state are. Plus, she has important contextual info about these spots that's often missed and we really appreciate her attention to these often overlooked details as it saves us the stress of dealing with such issues on the wedding day.
Working with her on the day of our wedding felt really easy. She's was on time, thoughtful, and somehow got us to relax and enjoy the day and the shoot.
As for the pictures taken, we were able to get a sneak peek of our wedding photos just a few days after the shoot and they turned out waaaay better than what I'd expected. Looking forward to seeing the full set!
She's clearly a talented photographer as shown by her work. Could not recommend Alexandria enough!

Orcas Island Elopement
Our experience with Sage Trails was incredible! Alexandria surpassed all expectations. She was thoughtful, organized, and easy to work with when planning our day and taking photos. We didn't feel stressed when our initial location turned out to be closed due to weather; she had multiple back-ups, and recommended another location that was better than our initial ideas. Her cheery attitude and energy made our day so special. We love how her photography captured our day and tells our story.

Mount Rainier National PArk Elopement
Alexandria was absolutely amazing, from our first video meeting to the day of. Before we had even had our first meeting she was already looking into what permits we needed and how to get them in order to have our small ceremony at Mt Rainier National Park. We didn't have a ton of time to plan, but she was with us all along the way, making suggestions, continuously looking up road updates (some roads in the park can be closed at the time we wanted to get married), and listening to our suggestions as well. She also took into consideration some of our guests' limitations when making suggestions. The day she was so encouraging and laughed along with us. She made things very comfortable, and helped me with my last bit of changing. She helped make the day fun and I felt very at ease with her. And so far, the sneek peek pictures are amazing! I cannot recommend her enough!
