I believe that love, weddings, and commitment are huge aspects of what life is all about. It is my honour to capture these subtle and meaningful exchanges and turn them into your beautiful story!

I understand that your wedding is unique, perhaps the most important event of your life, and I believe every moment is precious.


I take pride in capturing every aspect of the day to be remembered forever. The storyteller’s approach to weddings reminds us of our life's unfolding narrative.


It is more than my job; it is a professional pleasure to see elements of the wedding that others might miss, turning these moments into images that evoke feelings and memories of that singular day.


The joy of seeing the bride, the comedy of the reception toast, and the bouquet toss. Has this been preserved forever?


Photography is universal in this day of smartphones and similar devices - Anybody can take a quick picture.


I take memorable images, art and skill that few have.


The wedding day is about you and your soon-to-be spouse. We are about photos with all the emotions of the most fantastic day of your life.


We have an assortment of wedding photos on the price list for more details.

~ Your Wedding Timeline ~


Creating a timeline for your wedding photography ensures that every special moment is captured without feeling rushed. Here's a suggested timeline that includes between 8 - 10 hours coverage.



1. Getting Ready (1.5 hours - 2 hours)

  • Bride's preparation: Candid shots of the bride getting ready, including makeup, hair, dress, shoes, and accessories. Capture moments with bridesmaids and any emotional moments with family.
  • Groom's preparation: Candid shots of the groom and groomsmen preparing, including suit details, cufflinks, ties, and getting ready with the best man.
  • First Look (optional): If you're doing a first look, this is a great time for intimate photos of the bride and significant people in her life before the ceremony.


2. Details & Couple Portraits (30 minutes - 1 hour)

  • Wedding Details: Close-up shots of rings, bouquets, invitations, decorations, and any special personal touches (like heirloom items or family keepsakes).
  • Pre Cermony Couple Portraits: If you opted for a first look, take this time for some pre-ceremony couple portraits in a scenic location. If not, this time can be scheduled later.


3. Ceremony (30-45 minutes)

  • Guests Arriving: Candid shots of guests arriving and mingling.
  • Processional: Capture the groom’s reaction as the bride walks down the aisle, and the bridal party.
  • Ceremony Moments: Important moments such as vows, ring exchange, and the first kiss. Ensure wide shots of the ceremony and close-ups for intimate moments.
  • Exit: Capture the couple walking down the aisle as newlyweds, often accompanied by confetti, flower petals, or cheers from the guests.


4. Post-Ceremony Family Photos (30-45 minutes)

  • Group Portraits: Capture formal family portraits with both sides of the family. This includes the couple with parents, siblings, and extended family members

Make a list ahead of time to ensure nothing is missed*

  • Bride and Groom Alone: Quick portraits of just the couple in a more relaxed setting or a specific location.


5. Cocktail Hour (1 hour)

  • Reception Details: Photograph the reception venue, table settings, flowers, and decor before guests enter and start the celebration.
  • Bridal Party Portriats: While the couple is away for additional portraits, capture candid moments of the guests enjoying cocktails and mingling.


6. Reception Entrance (15-20 minutes)

  • Couple's Grand Entrance: Capture the couple’s entrance to the reception and their first dance.


7. Formatlities & Dancing (2 - 3 hours)

  • Speeches & Toasts: Photograph the reactions of the couple and guests during speeches or toasts from the best man, maid of honor, or parents.
  • Cake Cutting: The couple cutting the cake, feeding each other a slice, and any fun moments around it.
  • First Dance: The couple's first dance, followed by parent dances (father-daughter, mother-son).
  • Dancing & Reception Fun: Candid shots of guests enjoying the dance floor, partying, and any fun activities like a photo booth, or games.


8. Sunset or Nighttime Couple Portraits (15-30 minutes)

Golden Hour: If time permits, take a moment for beautiful sunset portraits of the couple in a scenic location or with creative lighting.

Nighttime Shots: If your reception continues into the night, consider capturing the venue lit up at night or the couple with sparklers, fireworks, or any unique lighting you have planned.

Photographing your wedding is an important task that requires careful planning and preparation. It is important to find a photographer who has experience in the style of photography you are looking for, and who is able to capture the special moments of your special day. When looking for a photographer, it is important to look at their portfolio and make sure that their style matches your vision for your wedding photos. Once you have found a photographer, it is important to discuss the details of the day and the types of shots you are looking for. It is also important to discuss the timeline of the day and the expectations for the photos. Taking the time to plan and discuss the details of wedding photography will ensure that you get the best images possible to remember your special day.

Elopement



Photographing your elopement is a great way to capture the special moments of your special day. Whether you are eloping in a far-off destination or simply in your hometown, having a photographer to document your elopement is a great way to ensure that you will have photos to look back on and cherish. When choosing a photographer, make sure to ask them about their experience and portfolio, and to discuss the style of photos you are looking for. You should also discuss the cost of the service, as well as any other details such as the number of photos you will receive and the turnaround time for the photos.



Investment - $2000

Ensuring your images are saved!

I back up every wedding I shoot 3 times on 3 different hard drives, which are all kept in 3 other locations. I know it seems like overkill, but these are precious moments you can never get back. You can never have too many backups! That being said - I have had the experience of corrupt images happen to me ONCE, and thankfully, I recovered them with the appropriate software. If this issue ever happens again, I will be transparent with you. However, I do understand the measures it takes to resolve the concern.

Alexandra Zara is one of the most amazing photographers I have ever met. Correction she is the most amazing photographer I have ever met. She did my partners and i engagement photos and made us feel incredibly comfortable and happy. We both hate photos but during this session, we really felt amazing. We highly recommend her.


We will be getting her back for every significant event in our life. Thank you so much again, thank you for making us feel comfortable in front of the camera. It isn’t an easy job but you made it look so easy. 😊 (from engagement photoshoot)


One of the most incredible vendors we used for our wedding was Alexandra Zara Photography! She was so organised and patient in the face of all the nonstop activity that we felt like we had one less thing to worry about.


The guests at our wedding have showered compliments about her, saying how amazing and friendly she was. And believe me, on a day that was already hectic, we needed that relaxed but organised individual! She provided us with incredible sneak photos and a tonne of coverage of our big day. And so quick with the turn around!


Once again, thank you so much. We can't wait for you to see the remainder of our gallery! We really wouldn't want to work with another photographer, therefore we hope to work with you again soon! (From a wedding photo session)

My now husband and I had Lex do our wedding photography in January 2024. It included 10 hours and an engagement photoshoot which was very reasonably priced and surperb quality.


Before our engagement shoot we were nervous but Lex put at us ease and made our nerves disappear! Lex was timely in her responses. It is clearly so much more than a "job" for Lex. She sent me instagram reels of ideas that suit our personality which we incorporated into our day and was so easy to work with. There was never any question that couldn't be answered.


Our bridal party was large with 12 adults and 6 children. Lex handled this like a pro and made everyone feel at ease (including redirecting some soon to be child tantrums). Despite having such a large bridal party I didn't once feel rushed or uneasy.


Lex is the perfect balance of professionalism, gathering people together in a timely manner and outgoing and fun. After our experience with Lex taking photos, I will look no further if we need photos in the years to come. 10/10 service, kindness, quality and fun vibes!
