ALEX McLAUGHLIN
associate photographer
 

 

~ A Mystical Ceremony ~   welcomes its newest associate!
Arizona native Alex McLaughlin has had a passion for photography since as far back as she can remember. She attended school for photography part time while still in high school, earning a certificate of completion in the program. Part of the course included an internship with a well known Arizona fashion photographer. Since then, she worked for some time for a local portrait studio and soon began doing freelance photography in her off hours.

Alexandra loves to help couples feel truly special on their 'big day' and keeps her photo sessions fun and relaxed with her engaging and easy-going manner. Her deep understanding of how important it is to capture their most cherished moments in an authentic way results in truly beautiful and unique images for every event she photographs.

Working regularly with   ~ A Mystical Ceremony ~  , Alexandra is rapidly expanding her wedding portfolio by providing professional level photographic services at a remarkably low cost. She works solely with two digital cameras and produces CDs of original, as well as edited images that clients may have printed wherever they wish. She is based in central Arizona and serves mainly the Southwest. For post-ceremony pictures, she is often joined by Rev. Krawarik, who shares her passion for outstanding photography and assists her {usually by scurrying about and moving people... and things} with insuring that couples obtain the finest possible result in the time available.

Engagement & Elopement sessions start at only $200, full wedding packages begin at $850, and listed rates are discounted upon booking a ceremony. To engage photography services, just inquire at your preliminary interview - or email: photography@mystical-rites.com
If Alexandra has an opening, she will be delighted to assist you in preserving your fondest memories!
