i love

East Texas born and raised, I started my photography journey in the front row of my 12th-grade Government class. When a friend couldn’t find a photographer for her senior photos within her budget, I grabbed my camera—originally meant for capturing my “Tumblr girl aesthetic”—and thought, “why not?”

One shoot led to another, and before I knew it, I was falling in love with the art. Fast forward seven years, and I’m still obsessed with capturing love in its rawest, most intentional forms. What started as a small gesture of compassion turned into the adventure of a lifetime, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

howdy, I’m alexis!!

THE NIGHTINGALE EVENTS

I seek to serve the wildly in love through documenting their elopement day that is driven by intentional activities while leaving room to move intuitively through the day, creating storytelling imagery through mindfulness practices, presence, and empathy-driven documentation.

My heart is that I'm able to capture who you are, as you are. In an industry that is so tied to the things you "should" do, whether to conform to tradition or to please others (or both!), it is so important to me that in everything I do, I am able to encourage you that just because someone else has a wedding a certain way, doesn’t mean you have to. In fact, I urge you to look inward as you plan your dream elopement day, because the less forced your day is, the more authentically and intuitively you will be able to move through a day that is supposed to be ALL. ABOUT. YOU. No one else.

While elopement planning can be stressful, it doesn't have to be. By investing in the experience your heart truly longs for, you create space to be and feel fully on your elopement day, and I can't wait to be the one to foster that for you and your lover.
