About

1. I just LOVE shooting weddings! It is my passion in life, it brings me such joy to be a part of each unique wedding!! 2. I'm not interested in "perfect" wedding photos, I like to find the beauty in the imperfect moments. 3. I have a special talent for shooting with shy people, who might not naturally be "photo"people. 4. I'm an artist at heart, I will deliver a mix of some traditional shots, but I will also give you some surprising, beautiful and unexpected images. 5. I offer BIG discounts to Thumbtack clients. Because most of my weddings book 1-2 years in advance, Thumbtack allows me to offer 50% off my regular pricing, if you are booking less than a year in advance. And the more "last-minute" the wedding, the deeper the discounts (whoo-hoo!)!! 6. I've won lots of awards and been published in lots of beautiful places (Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Marie-Claire, Elle, Green Wedding Shoes, Grey Likes Weddings). 7. I'm told that I'm a "stealthy, photo-ninja", you won't even know I'm there. I don't want to be intrusive or interrupt the flow of the day. And apparently, I bring good vibes!!

My fiancé and I are both very shy people when it comes to being in the limelight, also didn't want to take engagement photos because of our awkwardness. During our hunt, for our photographer, we wanted someone to capture moments as opposed to the cheesy smile and pose. So glad we found Alexa! Her work is beyond amazing! From the minute she stepped into the bridal lair, she handled the wedding chaos of missing bridesmaids, demanding mothers, with patience and kindness. We are a Filipino couple, and with our huge wedding entourage, Alexa respected all the photo requests from our entourage. Sorry by the way! When it finally came down to taking our newlyweds shots, she made us feel so comfortable, and directed us on how to feel at ease! Thank you Bright Bird Photography, for the love and energy in capturing our big day!Your craft is truly "on point." We are looking forward to the photos!

This review is looong overdue! My husband and I did an elopement at the Santa Barbara Courthouse, and chose Alexa for her beautiful journalistic style of photography. Alexa was very familiar with the building and grounds—as well as other locations in the area—so she had some great insight for the best places to take photos. She was able to make us feel totally comfortable right away. Posing for photos is not one of my favorite things, however, Alexa’s warm and professional nature made it easy work and the time went by smoothly. She is pretty creative, and, if you are up for it, she can give you some really cool ideas for more unique, yet still natural looking poses. Overall, it was a great experience and we ended up with some amazing photos.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My pricing is SUPER discounted thanks to Thumbtack!! So I can offer anywhere from 40-60% off my regular pricing, because I can book weddings last-minute! So if your wedding is within 2-4 months, I can offer 60-70% off. If your wedding is within 4-6 months, I offer 50% off, and if your wedding is 6-8 months away, I offer 40% off. Just email me if you have any questions!
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
We start with a phone call, so we can get to know each other, and go over all the details and questions. This is also a great time to talk about wardrobe, location and any other important details. If you decide you'd like to book me for your project, then I collect a little more info, put together a contract and take a 50% deposit to hold the date.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I graduated with honors from Art Center College of Design, with a major in photography. I have shot film and digital for nearly 10 years.
