I believe we aren’t meant to go through life alone and that Embrace Grace is more than a business name for me but a way of life. I am a hugger, over sharer, spontaneous but a planner and great at winging life and being flexible, also good at educating and prepping! Whatever curve balls come our way, we can handle it!
I’m you’re biggest cheerleader, I believe in true love and I love finding that silver lining and the brighter side of life but I am not afraid to get into the muck with you and sit until you’re ready to dust yourself off.
Hi, hi Friends! I’m Alex!
I'm so excited to get the opportunity to make your dreams come true!
TIME
I don’t charge over for time. Let me clarify by saying I value time, but I value connection more. I am careful with making sure we chase the pretty light but If we are enjoying the day and our conversations run long and we are hiking later than we thought etc, I am not going to add on a cost for that. To me it’s part of the experience and I love spending time with my amazing couples. I believe in slowing down and being intentional with capturing every moment.
GALLERIES
I include all digital images in my price. I do not do in person sales or soft proofs you have to pick a limited amount through and then I edit. I cull and edit as many great ones as we take and give you them! I do offer canvases and prints as well through a pro lab if you’d like quality prints but it isn’t required you go through me!
Travel fees
I don’t add on extra fees. What you see is what you get.
CONSISTENCY
My insta feed isn’t as perfect as others, and that’s because I let go of stressing to be “consistent” and edit true to life for every location. Landscape, time of day, seasons, and weather vastly changes a sessions coloring and I strive to help you remember YOUR day. Your memories made. I can do the same location on different days and time and the light will be different. I don’t want to waste time stressing on a perfect instagram feed but be true to my clients and honor their memories.
PLANNING
I offer planning and I always strive to see the location and scout for you beforehand. I don’t want my couples to arrive and be surprised by things that could have been prevented. You will know what visas and permits, rental cars companies you can trust, safe hotels or bnbs you can use, excursions and vendor recommendations. I love supporting local and respecting the land, their cultures and practice Leave No Trace.
ENGAGMENT SESSIONS
They are complimentary! If you are in one state and eloping in another that’s okay! We will plan accordingly and make it happen. I think it is so important to include them and get to meet in person so we can get you comfortable in front of my lens so the day of you’re not even thinking about it!
LOCATION & STYLE GUIDES
I have so many locations for all sorts of preferences and abilities. I love customizing elopements and offer excursions reccomendations such as helicopter rides and things to do if you want more adventure than just saying your vows and a picnic/pop champagne kind of thing. Styling, I have a client closet for adventure sessions and next day sessions and I have a handful of styles and sizes of wedding dresses that can get dirty! If you want to do something fun like getting in the water, we can make that happen too!
Planning an elopement can be hard and overwhelming if you don’t know where to start.. I am here to relieve some pressure and be your cheerleader.. guide you to the safe countries and locations and the do’s and dont’s. Traveling is my passion and I have some experience to help you decide where to go if you have too many places on your bucket list to choose from. I am your idea sound board. I have flat lays and the pretty details and elopement signs to go on backpacks already to try and help you have the little details ready so you don’t have to stress them. I love when couples add letters from family along with custom calligraphy written vows. All the little touches can bring a taste of home with you.
I am here to help with timelines, permits, planning, vendors, and making sure your day goes smoothly.
WHEN SEARCHING FOR A PHOTOGRAPHER
"Embrace Grace Photography is absolutely amazing! Alexis made us feel comfortable and confident while we were with her. She is great with kids and does what makes them feel comfortable. She not only got to our location early but she also had our entire session edited and to us in less than 12 hours! I 100% recommend choosing Embrace Grace Photography for your next family, engagement, wedding, or just because pictures!"
"This was our first time modeling in a styled shoot, she helped position us, kept us laughing, gave us the most positive verbal feedback and at no point were we ever self conscious or nervous. She even took the time to show us pictures which boosted our confidence! Working with Alexis was SOOO much fun, we will treasure this entire experience and these stunning photos forever!"
"I taught Alex in 5th Grade, and when I saw she became a photographer I could not be prouder! Her work is incredible to look at, and then I went to her as a client! WOW! I was blown away! Not only were her ideas fresh, she was personable, made myself and my husband feel very comfortable, and had an artistic way of looking at each picture! I can't wait to print my pictures to show off!"
