What started as a dream with no camera and a lot of determination has grown into one of the greatest passions of my life. I founded Elizabeth Alice Photography with a love for storytelling, human connection, and preserving meaningful moments.

I love capturing everyday moments and preserving memories that might otherwise go unnoticed. To me, photographs are more than images, they hold emotion, connection, and stories we can revisit for years to come.

I have a dirty little secret… I never wanted to be a wedding planner. It was never something that was on my radar. The series of events that led me to this industry is, to be honest, not very exciting, inspiring, or important, really, so I’ll skip that part. (Feel free to ask me later.) What is important is that my heart is in help and service. Born and raised in St. Louis, I’ve gained a lot of knowledge about local wedding vendors, traditions, and styles. But after working 12+ years in the industry, I’m down for anything and love working with a couple that has a unique style and vision for their day.
