Visual Storyteller, Producer & Digital Strategist
Hi, I’m Alex
I’ve been telling stories through a lens for as long as I can remember—literally. My great-grandmother put a disposable film camera in my hands when I was just 18 months old, and I haven't put one down since. By 14, I had officially launched my photography & videography business, starting a lifelong journey in visual media production.
My path in the music industry fully ignited at my first MISSIO show at House of Blues Dallas. From that moment on, I dove headfirst into live music—shooting shows, traveling on the road, and learning every inch of the industry, from tour management and merch to lighting, publicity, and content creation. By 16, I was working as a venue photographer, contributing to music publications, and traveling the country filming music videos and capturing concerts. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with thousands of artists, including directing an official music video for MISSIO and creating a benefit campaign with Prophets and Outlaws that raised over $10,000 for the North Texas Food Bank.
Expanding beyond the stage, I spent several years in Austin, Texas, running social strategy, video content, and marketing for a clothing brand rooted in supporting the local music scene. During my time there, I helped produce a major benefit concert following the Uvalde tragedy—combining community action, live music, and storytelling to make a real impact.
Driven by a deep love for community and industry wellness, I founded Neon Noise—a publication dedicated to celebrating not just musicians, but the essential tour crews, audio engineers, and technical staff who make live production happen. I also created Life With, an interview and documentary series focused on mental health and artist wellness.
Today, my work spans three worlds that all share the same heartbeat: authentic storytelling.
Whether I’m in the photo pit capturing the high-octane energy of a sold-out concert, helping bands build high-impact media and content strategies, or documenting real connections for weddings, elopements, couples, and families, my goal is always the same: to make you look extraordinary, keep the energy grounded, and capture life as it actually happens.
Years spent in fast-moving concert venues mean I don't rely on stiff, fake-looking poses. I bring that same speed, adaptability, and eye for unscripted emotion directly to your wedding day or portrait session—keeping communication direct, pricing transparent, and the whole process completely stress-free.
When I'm not behind a camera or editing galleries, you’ll usually find me hiking Pacific Northwest forest trails with my two German Shepherds, trying to make friends with wild animals in the woods, or hunting for rocks along the coast.
If you’re a couple planning your wedding, a musician needing press photos or video, or someone looking for real, unscripted portraits, I’d love to connect and build something great together.

The Husband & Wife Dream Team: Alex & Travis
Alex and Travis first crossed paths in December 2024 while working behind the scenes at a Drowning Pool concert in Dallas, Texas. Travis was working as the venue’s backline tech and stagehand, while Alex was on the road as the opener’s tour photographer.
Looking for the other band’s tour manager, Alex spotted Travis unloading their van. He looked completely dialed in (plus, she thought he was cute) so she walked right up to introduce herself. Two hours deep into an effortless conversation, Alex realized he wasn't the tour manager at all, but neither of them minded. Before the night ended, Travis mentioned his idea of moving to the Pacific Northwest. Alex, who had always felt drawn to the PNW, didn't hesitate: "Not to be too forward, but if you want a roommate, I've always wanted to live there."
A week later, Alex moved into his place in Dallas. Just one month after that initial conversation, they packed up and moved across the country to start a brand-new chapter together in Kitsap County, Washington.
How We Work
Falling in love from the very start transformed not just their lives, but their creative work. Today, documenting other couples' love stories brings them closer together with every proposal, elopement, and wedding they capture.
As a husband-and-wife team, their dynamic is seamless. Alex leads the business, creative direction, and photography, capturing candid, authentic moments as they unfold. Travis steps up on event day with client communication, posing, directing, and audio & video production. Their deep trust, clear communication, and shared passion ensure you get a completely unified experience without feeling crowded or staged.
Creating alongside their soulmate is the greatest honor of their lives. When they’re not capturing weddings or hiking deep into the mountains for an elopement or proposal, you can usually find them at home with their two German Shepherds, playing fetch, watching Beavis and Butt-Head, or setting off on their next local adventure.
