We are a husband + wife photo/video duo from a small town in Western Pennsylvania called Oil City. We're passionate about providing a fun, easy, relaxing experience for our couples and documenting the best moments in your life. We are humans to 2 spoiled cats named Simone + Arya, love music, antiquing, and most importantly; shoving our faces with pizza and Cheez-its. (Seriously...ask Wes about the time he tried every flavor of Cheez-its.)
A little more about us...
-We are total Netflix/Hulu addicts. We love binging shows like The Office, Outlander, Friends, Chuck, + Stranger Things.
-In addition to doing video, Wes also teaches high school social studies.
- We are always listening to music + are big fans of bands like Lord Huron, The Dangerous Summer, + Death Cab for Cutie. Alexa also loves music from the 40's and instrumental stuff.
- We both love Jesus a whole bunch.
- Alexa plays baritone + soprano ukulele and piano. Wes was not gifted with the talent of keeping a beat, but has some sweet dance moves he likes to bust out from time to time.

"WE ARE SO GRATEFUL TO HAVE FOUND WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS LIKE ALEXA AND WES – ORGANIZED, PROFESSIONAL, RELAXED AND FUN TO WORK WITH, AND ABSOLUTELY SOME OF THE MOST TALENTED PEOPLE WE HAVE EVER MET. WE PLANNED OUR WEDDING FROM OUT OF STATE, BUT NEVER ONCE FELT UNPREPARED WHEN WORKING WITH ALEXA."
Taylor + Jimmy
"They were so friendly and helpful, especially with my Husband and I that aren't super photogenic! They made getting our pictures taken comfortable and fun. The way they edit their photos matches exactly what I was looking for. Also, finding a team that is able to work together with photos and videos is great!"
You're getting married and that is pretty freaking cool. Weddings are a blast and we love getting to work with so many rad couples. We describe our style of photography & videography as organic, emotive, whimsical, & romantic and our goal is to document your real emotions of the day and tell your story through our art. We really enjoy working with couples that aren't afraid to explore a little on their wedding day, get the dress a little dirty, slow dance in a forest, run around in fields, and make some awesome memories. If this sounds like your kind of adventure, let's chat!

Working with couples is one of our favorite things to do. Engagement sessions are great opportunity for us to connect & get to know each other in a more relaxed setting so we can create beautiful images showcasing your love - free of a busy wedding day timeline or anxious (and probably hungry) guests. Engagement sessions also give us time to work out any "Chandler Bing smiles" before the big day. We will work together to plan out the perfect location and your outfits (if you need my help...i'm no fashion guru but i'm always willing to help to the best of my ability!) Let's do this!

First off, I am so excited to get to document this exciting time in your life! I try to make senior sessions personalized, fun & relaxed. We will work together to plan out the perfect outfits & locations so your personality can shine through in your photos. I want to make you feel confident & see how beautiful you are! I always encourage bringing along a fun playlist filled with your favorite tunes and your best friend!
