Alex Faye Media exists to tell love stories exactly as they are—unfiltered, emotional, and alive. I’m not here to stage your day; I’m here to capture the real, messy, beautiful magic of it. From photography and videography to planning, every part of what I do is about creating space for couples to breathe, laugh, and actually enjoy their wedding. I love what I do because I get to turn moments into art, and every story I tell feels like its own kind of forever.

Awarded Best of Zola
Alex and her team was so amazing! She stayed in contact with us up to the date and gave us a play by play of the plan. We had a smaller scale farm wedding and everything turned out amazing. Alex had great ideas and was even open to some of our ideas we really meshed great together. The turn around time to get the photos back was spectacular. I truly cannot say enough about her entire business, etiquette, professionalism, and overall ability to make you feel comfortable!!!

Awarded Best of Zola
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer. She was personable, professional, and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera, including my camera shy family. She kept the day running smoothly while capturing every picture I requested and the meaningful moments behind them beautifully. Even while very pregnant, she absolutely crushed it! She was on her feet all day AND STILL breaking it down on the dance floor all night. Her positivity, organization, and genuine care truly showed in both her work and her presence. We are so grateful she was there. Having her as both our photographer and now our friend made the experience even more special. I would 1000% recommend her to anyone without hesitation!! 3 Also, a shoutout to her husband, Chris! He was great and fun on the dance floor as well!

We had such a great experience with OLAS! Our photographer, Jasmine, was a very calming and helpful presence during the day. She was professional and patient and worked collaboratively with us and our families to adjust to our shot needs and any other minor chances. She also gave clear directions on how to pose! The photos came out really wonderful - we love the warmer tones and Jasmine captured the joy, fun, and touching moments really well.

Maria was professional, warm, and so easy to work with from start to finish. We were blown away by how quickly everything was delivered — we received a sneak peek gallery within a week of the wedding and our full gallery just one month later. Every single photo is absolutely beautiful, and we are genuinely in awe of her work. She captured the emotions, the details, and all the special moments so perfectly. Her second photographer, Jackson, was equally wonderful — incredibly helpful, friendly, and professional throughout the entire weekend.

Hey, I’m Blythe—a wedding photographer with a heart for intimate moments and untamed landscapes. I specialize in capturing the raw, real, and beautifully unposed stories of couples who choose to celebrate their love in meaningful, personal ways—whether it’s a quiet mountaintop elopement or a cozy backyard ceremony with your loved ones. If you’re dreaming of a wedding that feels true to you, I’d be honored to document it in a way that’s timeless, artful, and deeply personal. Let’s chase the light together.

Awarded Best of Zola
Blythe was the most amazing photographer. We booked her wedding package, and since we were getting our engagement photos done while visiting family in Malaysia, we used our engagement shoot for a spicy photoshoot to surprise my husband on our wedding day. For both events, she made me/everyone feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera, which is not an easy thing to do. Everyone who has seen our wedding photos absolutely loves them, and we’ve gotten so many compliments on her unique style. The photos feel emotional and have such a deep, meaningful vibe. She even shot some film photos, which we weren’t expecting but ended up loving so much. Blythe also ran through our family photo list right after the ceremony like a drill sergeant in the best way possible. It was incredibly efficient, and everyone was impressed with how smoothly it went. She captured the energy, emotions, and overall vibe of the dinner and dancing perfectly. We truly could not be happier with our photos and can’t recommend her enough.

Hi! My name is Steve. I do visual storytelling. I’m married with three kids and in my spare time I record music and build things. I've been filming and photographing weddings since 2009. I love travel and getting to know unique couples.

Awarded Best of Zola
We hired Steven and his team to do our wedding photos and videography. I really wanted a photographer that could capture the soul of the event, and Steven did exactly that. His photos are full of life, and I shared so many portraits with guests that actually got printed out or posted online. If you're looking for hundreds of photos of your wedding party that look exactly the same and for every planned second to be documented, Steven is not your person. If you're looking to hit the big moments but focus on capturing raw moments with timeless photos to get framed, I couldn't recommend them more. I never thought I would get a wedding video because it always seemed cheesy to me. But after watching examples of his work I fell absolutely in love with his videos. I've honestly had a hard time watching ours because it evokes so much emotion. Steven was collaborative and willing to go with the flow. We gave him the difficult task of being prepared for 3 different locations with totally differing lighting (indoor/outdoor plus shooting from high sun into the night). He puts an immense amount of care into his work and the photos are truly art that we will cherish forever. If there are specific things you want covered, be sure to share a list. When it comes to capturing the moments that can't be planned, he is on the case!

The KD Hunt experience is rooted in connection, trust, and intentional storytelling. From our first conversation to the final gallery, my goal is to create a space where you feel seen, cared for, and completely at ease. I take time to understand your story — the emotions, the details, the quiet moments in between — so every photograph reflects the truth of who you are. With a balance of editorial direction and effortless authenticity, I capture your day as it unfolds, blending timeless artistry with genuine emotion. More than just beautiful images, this is about preserving the heart behind them — your love, your faith, your legacy.

We found Katie on Instagram and instantly fell in love with her work. She photographed our engagement session, my bridal portraits, and our wedding day — and every single experience with her was incredible. From the very first session, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, like we were just hanging out with a new friend! She went above and beyond, not only capturing the most stunning photos but also helping with our wedding timeline and answering all the (many!) questions I had along the way. Her guidance and support made such a difference in the whole planning process. We are absolutely in LOVE with every single photo she’s taken for us, and we’re still getting endless compliments; not just on the pictures themselves, but from guests and other vendors who raved about how amazing she was to work with. I truly cannot recommend Katie enough. She’s incredibly talented, so much fun to be around, and now has customers for life in us!
