Hannah and Blake's elopement was a captivating blend of boho chic and mountain charm. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of the mountains, their simple wish to be married on a mountaintop exuded an effortless yet enchanting vibe. From the Chaco footwear to family heirloom hats, each detail was authentic and served a meaningful purpose.

Couples often communicate with me 100% via email, or I am available to chat with you via phone, video, or a combination if you'd like to discuss any details in depth prior to booking. No matter the communication method, we will discuss your coverage needs and desires in great detail. If I have your date available and am a good fit for your needs, I will email you an official booking proposal so you can book asap and cross "find an epic photographer" off your to-do list.

We will chat once more to go over the final timeline together about a week out from your wedding date.

The Investment Details
I can't share enough how awesome Alex is. She was a dream to work with and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer. My husband was so nervous about being in front of the camera but repeatedly told me how comfortable he felt with her. My bridesmaids and I had so much fun with her during getting ready photos as well! If you want someone who will not only get all the classic shots you want on your wedding day, but also blend into the wedding party to capture all the most natural, hidden, candid moments, Alex is your girl. She pays attention to the details and your vision, and lets you lead the theme for the day. Her film photos give you the vintage feel, and capture genuine moments. She even let my flower girl take a few pictures!
Silverbrook Farm | Wedding
We had the absolute best experience with Alex! From booking all the way through our engagement session and wedding day she was nothing short of amazing to work with. We are typically very awkward and don't take the best photos normally but somehow the way she captured us was magic. I was relatively picky with the style of photography/editing I wanted and her portfolios were a great representation. Truly one of the best decisions we made in our wedding planning process and I am so grateful for her artistry. We will cherish our photos forever.
Williamsburg, Virginia | Wedding
YES. Highly recommend Alex and all her greatness. My partner and I really got to enjoy our day without falling into the pressures and stresses of the “photoshoot”. It really was Alex that made us feel comfortable and enjoy the moment, especially in front of the camera. Alex was accommodating to our non-traditional day and we even got to include our pups for a part of our session! Our gallery came back very quickly and we LOVE the photos. The pictures are equally timeless and stylish, definitely not something that will go out of style in five years. My partner and I will have a hard time choosing which photos to print!
Washington DC | Elopement
ALEX! What an amazing, talented, kind, and graceful photographer. I hate having my picture taken and was dreading a day of pictures, but Alex made it such a fun experience. I felt so comfortable working with her and she did such a stunning job capturing the day. She was able to make me and my now husband feel at ease and have fun with the experience. She also got us the final pictures at jaw dropping speed! Based on past experiences with friends and family, I was expecting to wait months for the final results, but here I am writing a review less than a week later and we have already had the pictures for a few days. THANK YOU ALEX! I would recommend you to any person.
Northern Virginia | Wedding
Working with Alex was a wonderful experience. I was lucky to find her online and she captured our proposal and engagement photos. She is extremely helpful and communicates great. She was also early for both sessions and came prepared. She made everything a lot of fun and most importantly the photos came out great. Would recommend her to anyone!
Old Town Alexandria | Engagement Session

Herrington on the bay | wedding
Alex is AMAZING! She is such a sweet soul. You can see her passion throughout the photoshoot! She makes you feel comfortable, and is very creative. Besides, she is SO prompt to send previews, and the pictures are beyond stunning.
The phillips collection | DC
If you're looking for a photographer that goes above and beyond, book Alex! She not only captured stunning photos of us, but she also took the time to visit our engagement shoot location at the exact time of day we would be there to make sure the light was right, was always available for advice, was very flexible with our tight schedules, and was super responsive. Her editing time is lightning fast, and the photos were amazing! Highly recommend!!
MORVEN PARK | Engagement Session
I had been seeing fun bridal shoots on my Tik Tok and had been wanting to throw my wedding dress on again to do one! I’m going to attach a couple photos and let them do all the talking, but the shoot I had with Alex was a once in a lifetime shoot. Not only did she make me feel EXTREMELY comfortable shooting on my own, but she was the type of fun that made me think we could be best friends and to this day, I still go back and look at them once a week. I cannot recommend her enough!!!
colorado springs, CO | Bridals
Alex is amazing! She was very good at directing and made us feel comfortable being in front of a camera, will be recommending her to friends!
RIchmond, VA Engagement Session
ALEX IS INCREDIBLE!!! I was so fortunate to have connected with such a creatively artistic, technically talented and overall lovely person. Alex is the type of lighting in a bottle photographer you want capturing special your moments. Someone with clear vision and a go-with-the-flow attitude is all you can ever hope for in scene setting photoshoots. My fiancé and I felt so at ease walking around Historic Occoquan getting to know Alex while she casually and somehow seamlessly, captured our most candid loving moments. If you are in search of someone who can bring out the best version of you on and off camera, Alex McCormick is your girl. If you want to live out your classic vintage dreams, that is another one of her many specialties. I know my photos and memories of this day will be cherished for many years to come and her services will be recurring and highly recommended!
VINTAGE STYLE ENGAGEMENT SESSION
Alex has done our family photos and our wedding photos. She always makes us feel comfortable which makes our photos turn out so natural, and she’s so much fun to work with! Her turnover time was so fast! She got our sneak peeks back to us within 24 hours! I can’t say enough good things about her and her work!
