Alexandra Meseke ~ Your #1 Hype Girl

Going into wedding planning, Taylor and I wanted to make sure we had an exceptional photographer as these pictures would physically represent our special day for the rest of our lives and hopefully to be passed down to our children and their families. I found a few people during my search but after visiting our venue and seeing Alexandra’s business card on their vendor shelf I knew I had to look into her work. We were married at Crispin Hill on 8/1/20 and if you have the privilege to know the owners they have the best vendor recommendations because they strive for excellence for their couples.

Immediately through emailing her I knew I would love this woman behind the camera. I kept telling Taylor how excited I was to meet her and how awesome I knew she would be. We visited her adorable studio in the Village Gate and in talking with her about our vision and overall feel of our wedding aesthetic I felt like we just clicked. We left the meeting and Taylor told me “You made the right choice Katie”. Honestly in my eyes it felt like the StepBrothers movie moment where Dale and Brennan just realized they became best friends.

Fast forward to engagement session— Alexandra was extremely helpful in giving us suggestions for places based on our interests and personal story. When we arrived at George Eastman museum Taylor and I were certainly nervous. Neither of us have been in front of a camera like this before and we weren’t sure how “posed” this would be and made bets on how awkward we would act. Let me tell you- I know it is their job to make you feel comfortable, relaxed and guide you through the session- but this amazing woman’s energy was so positive, so encouraging and SO MUCH FUN that Taylor and I felt completely at ease.

Our wedding day was nothing short of the same upbeat, laughter filled energy. We had the absolute pleasure to have her husband, Michael be our 2nd photographer. These two are the cutest together and work so well as a team. She truly was the best hype girl for our whole party & family. I felt confident and beautiful in front of her camera. I remember telling them at the end of the night that I can’t wait to have a family so Alexandra can be my photographer for life. The creative talent she has is simply amazing and she produces the most beautiful pictures. One of my favorite things about her is that she uses film instead of digital and I love the rawness of her technique. I can’t express my gratitude enough for the overall amazing experience she provides as your photographer.

Alexandra is truly a gem!! She and her husband, Michael, are not only incredible photographers but also just wonderful people we feel so lucky to have gotten to know. They are extremely talented, hardworking, dedicated to their craft, and so much fun to work with. They were an absolute joy to have around on our wedding day — we honestly felt like they were two of our close friends, there to share all the important moments with us. We loved how laid back and casual they made the whole process feel — exactly the fun, stress-free vibe we wanted — while at the same time incredibly professional and making us feel 100% confident they were getting every shot we could ever want. The photos are stunning, and we just can't believe how they perfectly captured our personalities, our happiness, and every emotion we felt on that day.

When we had to postpone our wedding twice due to the pandemic, Alexandra was so kind, so understanding, and even helped us coordinate and reschedule to make sure we were finally able to have the day we imagined. We decided we didn't want to wait until our big wedding celebration to actually get married, so when we had a small family ceremony on our original date, Alexandra and Michael drove a whole hour to be there for us so we could have the ceremony photographed. We were so touched by their kindness and their willingness to go above and beyond. We're so so grateful to Alexandra and Michael, and we're so thrilled to have perfect photos from both of our wedding days. Choosing the right wedding photographer was one of our top priorities, and we couldn't possibly be happier with the choice we made. We love these two and could not more highly recommend them!

Alexandra and her team are LEGENDS! Helped make our NYE wedding the best day of our lives - love them so much!
