Champaign Urbana Engagement & Wedding Photos

Your wedding goes by in a blur. The big moments, the quiet ones, and everything in between. My approach is simple: capture your big day authentically while helping you feel comfortable in front of the camera so nothing feels forced. Just real moments, beautifully preserved. This is a culmination of some of my engagement and wedding photography work at UIUC and the Champaign Urbana area - reach out to check availability!

“Alex was a huge relief to work with on our wedding day. He was communicative beforehand, asking about expectations I hadn't considered, on time when we needed him for our ceremony, and was constantly busy shooting there and at our reception. He found opportunities for shots I wouldn't have thought of taking, and took plenty of photos to help us remember our special day. The photos were quality and our expressions in every important moment were captured. He's reliable, talented, and a pleasure to work with.”
