I couldn’t recommend Alix more! You spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day. I’m grateful that time was spent with her! She took the most beautiful photos. Better than I could have dreamed. We had a two day event & she was incredibly flexible and went above and beyond! She helped my husband and I nail down our timeline ahead of the event, which we didn’t realize how much we needed that. Weddings bring a lot of stress and Alix never added to that, rather she retracted from it. I couldn’t recommend her more. She captured our special day exactly the way I’d like to remember it.

We had the joy of having Alixandra photograph us for both our engagement session and our wedding at the Book Tower in Downtown Detroit in May 2026. Alix was very communicative prior to our engagement session. There was a lot of indecisiveness on my end on where we would take the photos and she was so helpful and knowledgable in coming up with a location. Upon meeting her for the first time, she made us feel so comfortable and at ease (as someone who can feel very awkward in front of the camera), and it was a great experience for her to get to know us as a couple. The photos turned out AMAZING and I am still posting them to this day! On our actual wedding day, Alix and her second shooter Meghan came in on time and ready to work! With it raining (sad), we were able to pivot the locations we had planned for our first look and got to take amazing portraits up in Kamper's. Additionally, Alix and Meghan made me feel so comfortable and beautiful for my bridal portraits. An intimate moment had me so at ease and I am so excited to get these photos back. On top of it all, Alix was set to get married the week after our wedding! The professionalism and dedication to ensure our day was captured beautifully despite all the stress leading up to your own wedding is something I will be forever thankful for. I cannot recommend Alix enough to other couples looking to tie the knot soon! Her packages are fantastic and she is incredible at her craft. Thank you, again, Alix!

Hi, I’m Alix! My style blends a documentary approach with lifestyle portraiture, capturing the real, unscripted moments while also creating beautifully composed images that feel like you. I believe the best photos come from genuine connection. That’s why I take the time to truly get to know my couples, so you feel comfortable, seen, and fully yourselves in front of the camera. My heart is in preserving the honest, emotional, joy-filled moments that tell the story of your day from beginning to end. If you’re looking for someone who will be more than just a vendor, someone who will laugh with you, cry with you, and celebrate every little in-between moment, I’d be honored to be part of your journey. Take a peek at my recent reviews on Google or head over to my website to explore more of my work. I can’t wait to connect and hear all about your dream day!

erfect energy. Not only did she keep the day running smoothly, but she also captured every single moment with the most care. Alix was so amazing at capturing not only us, but all the small details from our wedding day that made the day unique to us. She answered all our questions, gave great recommendations for locations for our engagement and first look locations, and truly worked so hard to help bring our vision to life. We will be forever grateful that she was apart of our day!

Capturing your story in a way that truly felt like you was my biggest goal, and I’m so glad it came through in the photos. You two were such a joy to work with and I’ll forever be grateful I got to be a part of it all 💛

photograph both your engagement session and wedding day at the Book Tower. You both were an absolute joy to work with from start to finish, and I’m so happy you felt comfortable, cared for, and fully yourselves throughout the process. Even with the rain, your day was unbelievably beautiful, and I’m obsessed with the portraits we captured at Kamper’s! Your trust in me, especially during such a busy season in my own life as well, means more than I can express. Thank you again for your kindness, support, and for allowing me to capture such an important chapter of your story. <3

otographer. Alix did an amazing job at making us feel confident and comfortable in front of the camera. She truly captured “us” without it feeling forced or fake. During our engagement photos she was prompt, professional and helped us navigate the “posing” aspect of our photos. During the planning process Alix was attentive and was patient with any questions we had. She went above and beyond to help us with our timeline. She made it possible for us to enjoy our day and be fully present. We are so grateful to have had her and Megan on our day and wouldn’t have changed a thing!

vered on our wedding day was beyond anything we could have ever imagined. The day went by in such a blur, but the moments she captured feel timeless. Every photograph tells a story—our laughter, our love, the joy of our families and friends, the intimate glances, the funny little moments we never even saw unfold. The way they captured the light, the emotions, and the essence of our day was nothing short of magical. What really stood out was how she made us feel so at ease throughout the entire day. There was no pressure, no stiff posing—just a sense of calm and genuine connection. She allowed us to be ourselves, which shines through in every shot. It’s clear that Alix has a gift for blending artistry with authenticity, and they made us feel like we were the stars of the most beautiful love story. The attention to detail and the care put into editing the photos was incredible—every shot felt like a work of art. We’ve already received so many compliments from our friends and family, and even other vendors, about how stunning the photos are, and we couldn't agree more. These photos will forever be our most cherished keepsakes. Thank you so much, Alix, for capturing the heart and soul of our wedding day. We will treasure these memories forever. You didn’t just take our photos; you gave us a gift that will last a lifetime. All our love, Sarah and Ryan

ept me sane throughout the day and I genuinely felt like I've known her forever. Most notably, my husband and I had a sick family member who was soon to pass shortly after our wedding. Just a few days after the event, we reached out to Alex hoping we could get a few moments from the ceremony to show our family member before it was too late. Within a day, Alex had gotten us a bunch of shots for us to show her and they were just what we needed. Alex was so caring and so accommodating to our emergency. I don't know that anyone else would've done what she did for us. We also just got some sneak peeks back, and they were PERFECT. They were everything I had hoped for in my wedding photos. She is truly a pro at what she does and I would choose her again and again for important life moments.

an honor!! I’m so glad I could help bring a sense of calm and joy to the day and be there for you through every moving part! Getting those images to you quickly for your loved one was the least I could do, and I’m so thankful they were able to see and feel the love from your day. So happy you’re loving your sneak peeks, and I can’t wait for you to see the full gallery! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for trusting me with such precious memories! I’d happily capture your life moments again and again. ❤️

Alix was always very timely and all the photos we've seen so far have been beautiful, we can't wait to see the rest of them. Alix provided a second photographer during the wedding, Ashley, who was also fantastic who helped in anyway she could (Helped bustle the dress and fold pocket squares for the groomsman). Ashley was also able to capture additional angles during the ceremony and other candid photos while Alix took care of the formal photos. We would highly Alix for any wedding or occasion and have already referred her to friends and family.

Thank you again for trusting us, and for already sending others our way — that’s the highest compliment I could receive. <3

h how it came through in our wedding and engagement photos. As soon as we saw our beautiful engagement photos, we knew that the wedding ones would turn out amazingly, and that we had definitely made the right choice. She was so great to work with, and made sure to create a plan with us so that we would get all the shots we wanted, and helped us stay on schedule. Her second shooter Adam also did a fantastic job, and we loved that together they were able to get multiple angles of the same moments, as well as get photos of both sides of the wedding party at the same time. We love that Alix captured our personalities, our best angles, and all the candid moments of the day. She gave us a huge gallery of photos, and was quick to get them back especially considering how many there were! It’s going to be very hard to pick our favorites to print, there’s just so many good ones! We cannot thank Alix enough for creating such beautiful artwork that will allow us to relive our wedding day forever.

She was so fun to work with and made us (two people who don't particularly love being photographed) so relaxed and comfortable on our big day.

I can't possibly recommend Alix more to any future brides.

Alix is amazing! Starting from our first zoom meeting she was friendly and helpful, but also excited. She worked with us to create an option that fit our budget and captured ever...

ything we wanted to capture. She was always available for questions and was happy to help us plan out our day in the best way to include her and our videographer. She definitely knows her stuff! We chose to skip engagement photos, and I was a little worried that we wouldn't vibe on the day of the wedding because we hadn't met in person before, but when she showed up the morning of and started shooting it was like meeting up with a long time friend, who happened to bring a camera. My husband (yay!) does not like taking photos, but Alix was able to get us set up for shots easily and made it all feel natural. Every single photo is amazing, not only because we look comfortable and happy, but also because of her skill behind the lens (and there are SO MANY photos!). When our day ran longer than anticipated she stayed to catch everything we wanted, even though she had traveled to get to our wedding. I highly recommend Alix to everyone I know that needs a photographer. We can't wait to fill our home with the photos she took!

Not only is she such a talented photographer, but she also is a great timekeeper (I kept looking at my phone to make sure we were on time and she ensured me she would watch the clock rather than have me stress on my big day), she's the Best hype gal, and her eye for the details is out of this world. We opted to not have a videographer and put all of our trust in her with our photos and I have never been happier with such a huge decision. Trust me, you won't be disappointed when you choose Alix!

She provided us with a great timeline and stuck to it to make the day run smoothly. She arrived on time and ready to go to capture images from the day. We are not naturals in front of the camera, but Alix gives excellent guidance and makes you feel amazing. She found any extra time we had through the day to sneak us off for additional pictures. She put us first and sought out every opportunity to make us happy. I would highly recommend Alix to anyone looking for a photographer. However, know that she will be your best friend, veil-fixer, and cheerleader as well!
