ABOUT ALEXANDRA

BEHIND THE LENS

meet Alexandra

Hi, I’m Alexandra. I am a wedding and lifestyle photographer from Somerset West, just outside Cape Town. I have been a photographer for 10 years, and a lover of beautiful things my entire life. I believe your wedding or photoshoot should be unapologetically you – honest, joyful and unforgettable. My goal is to not only capture the day for you, but create an experience you’ll enjoy from start to finish.

My style of photography is bright, light and airy. I opt for some moodiness when the moment strikes, but I steer strongly towards happy, joyful portraits with a good dash of romance thrown in. I use a mix of candid storytelling and gentle and natural posing when the need calls for it. I won’t be stopping your ceremony mid-first kiss because I want to pose you, but I will give you guidance during your couple shoot or portraits.

 

I am detail oriented and very hands on. I am happy to step in and tie your shoe laces, hold your cousins baby or get grandma her walking stick. I like to be more than a fly on the wall – a presence that helps your wedding day move from a dream to a reality.

When I'm not taking photos...

–     Teaching a dance class (I teach 3 times a week!)

–     Hunting down vintage treasures and thrift shopping

–     Working with an animal rescue

–    Crafting, sewing or DIYing something in the house

–    Spending time with my family and my sisters

it’s all about stories…

I have always been drawn to stories – love stories, novels, poems and movies. Weddings are the epitome of storytelling – all the big emotions, joy-filled and honest. It’s a huge honour to be asked to capture this and I don’t take it lightly.

 

If any of this resonates with you, I’d love for you to reach out and tell me your story. Lets chat, set up a video call or coffee date and make your dream shoot happen.
