Telling stories through timeless planning & unforgettable imagery
Hey I'm Alexis Hightower, born and raised in California. Now living in North Carolina with my husband, two pups and a baby on the way! I've been obsessed with photography and weddings since I was in high school. I've been into photography since 2008 & fell in love with wedding photography when I lived in Cabo San Lucas in 2014, I love capturing those special moments between each couple and capturing those candid moments with your loved ones.
I became a wedding planner when I moved back to California in 2016 with Karen Marie Events and my whole vision changed when I got to see the behind the scenes of what goes in to planning "your big day". It made me fall in love with the more intimate weddings which I went for when planning my own wedding back in October 2020. All of that inspired me to help brides envision, plan and capture their special moment.
we are creatives.
just like you.
about us
it all started with my camera & a creative mind in designing the perfect and intimate wedding day.

-Maddy G
“Thank you so much especially to Alexis! My husband and I used their services for our wedding on 10/11/19. I opted for the month of coordination. Alexis was beyond our expectations and took care of all our vendors, made the venue look beautiful and made us feel special on our day. There was not a single moment we were stressed or worried about anything on our day or leading up to. Alexis and her team turned our space into a magical fall evening and I am so thankful. She gave a special touch and the day went perfectly because of you! I highly recommend them for your wedding, you will be so happy!!!”
Kind Words
-Negar
“Alexis was a delight to work with. Although I only asked for a month-of coordinator, she was full of helpful suggestions and solutions during the months leading up to the wedding. I was so impressed when the month of the wedding came and Alexis fully took the reins on all coordinating and vendor communication. She made my wedding month truly relaxing and enjoyable for me.
Alexis is easy-going, gentle and kind. She managed to wrangle all of the vendors which is a bit like herding cats, and she did it with grace. Everything was clearly communicated to me and I felt so at ease. I appreciate how seamless everything went on the day and my husband and I had so much fun on our own wedding! This is a testament to Alexis's smooth and relaxed approach to wedding coordinating.
Lastly, Alexis is genuine. Some of the experiences I had with meeting coordinators before selecting Alexis left me feeling overwhelmed. I had coordinators trying to force a friendship that felt generic and awkward. Like 'Hey girl!!." Alexis was herself; confident, kind and professional without being overbearing. I love that about her - authentic.”
