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
Our story began in December 2024 behind the scenes at a Drowning Pool concert in Dallas, Texas. We quickly bonded over a shared obsession with live events, storytelling, and high-energy production. Now based in the Pacific Northwest, we’ve combined our strengths to give couples a complete, cohesive photo and video experience.
Alex leads the visual narrative—focusing on candid, documentary-style photography, creative direction, and capturing authentic, unscripted emotions as they naturally happen. Travis powers the video and technical production—leveraging his background as a live production technician and video operator to manage audio setup, lighting dynamics, and multi-camera logistics so not a single detail is missed.
Working together seamlessly, we handle both photography and videography without getting in each other's way or crowding your space. You get the ultimate creative team focused entirely on telling your love story, effortlessly and without the stiff, forced posing.
