Hi!
I’m Alexandra.
I trained as a journalist and an anthropologist before I trained as a photographer. After three years of doctoral research on how communities remember and pass things on, I decided I’d rather observe people through a camera than through citations — so I turned the viewfinder on the one celebration where families still gather around the same tables, tell the same stories, and pass the same rings. Seventeen years and more than two hundred and fifty weddings later, I photograph in France and across Europe for couples who want their wedding to feel like theirs, not like a template. My approach is gentle, quiet, and almost entirely unposed. I work well with wedding planners and with the kind of couples who have a vision and need someone to read the day without interrupting it. I speak French, English, Romanian, and a little Spanish. I live just outside Lyon, and I travel readily to Provence and the French Riviera most often, Burgundy, the Alps, Paris. Beyond France, I’ve photographed in Italy, Switzerland, and a handful of elopements further out.
“We felt at ease from start to finish.”
“Alexandra understood our couple without us needing to explain a thing.”
“The images truly look like us. Like, really.”
“We never felt directed or posed, it’s like she just held our hand through the whole thing.”
My philosophy is simple: in life as in photography, I choose to observe without judging, to tell a story without embellishing, to preserve without freezing.
If you feel that resonates with you, let’s connect.
