Southern California Wedding Photographer - About Alex

Alexandria Monette 

is my fancy name—

you can call me Alex. 

As an enneagram 1w2, it’s in my blood to be a prepared perfectionist & a people-pleaser. No, seriously. My goal is to get to know who you are together so I can capture the heart of your relationship, the intricacies and carefully selected details, and your VIPs with the love and care I would for my own family. Trust. I’m going to take GOOD care of you.

In front of my lens you’ll feel as natural as a typical date night, but with a quirky third wheel screaming, “holy wow oh my god are you even real?!” And the best part? When you open up your gallery, you’ll feel like you’ve opened up the most recent issue of Vogue.

Alex Monette About Bio

I’m a photographer

who has been there, done that (over 200 times), and can offer the education, support, and resources to help you slide into your wedding day feeling stoked on marriage, not stressed about the little details. On your wedding day, you can find me on the dance floor with grandma while she’s busting moves, sneaking in shots of your uncles smoking cigars, capturing the tears dripping from your mama’s eyes during your vows, and all the big belly laughs during the epic speech by your best friend. I’m an expert stylist who isn’t afraid to pause and fix that loose strand of hair or dust makeup off your outfit. For you, I pay attention to it all and feel all the feels. Coming from a big family and being the oldest of 8, I know the importance of those you’ve invited into your celebration and I can handle a lot of personalities.

mama & ñeca are
my other names. 

A new mom of little guy named Leo, and wife to Jaime, my partner of over 11 years, and dog-mom to two yorkies, family means everything. When I’m not drooling over your wedding plans (or being drooled all over by Leo), I love traveling, camping with family, tackling home design projects (Spanish-inspired everything), and trying to cook new *fancy* meals (though Jaime has me beat at that)! I’m a big advocate for mental health and self-care… so yes, I’m the girl who does yoga and journals and goes to therapy in between running a biz, taking care of a baby, and entertaining myself with mounds of books and true-crime comedy podcasts (#SSDGM, iykyk).
