I am a habitat restoration ecologist, working to preserve nature when I am not doing photography! My husband and I live in a super old house, we love to do house projects during the off season. we have two horses, a dog, chickens, and two cats! my favorite thing to do on a weekend is to walk to my favorite local coffee shop. I love to ride my horses, be outside in my flower gardens, or reading a book! My photography business is my side hustle. I do not do it full time because I love my full time career in conservation!! photography started for me as a way to have a creative outlet. I have always been obsessed with capturing the beauty of life around me on camera so that I could capture the moment and how it felt and so I could go back later and look and remember. During Covid, I bought my first nice camera and as a way to support my mental health during that hard time, I would take pictures and I taught myself about lighting, composition, and color theory!

5 Reviews for Alexis Rae
She really takes the time to get to know you as a couple beforehand, study your mood you are going for, and then produce your wedding day into exactly who you and your partner are. You can tell she really enjoys what she does and reads into the details of everything.
Thank you so much Alexis, you are such a talent!
My best advice to anyone else reading this is to book this girl ASAP before she gets too famous ;)
