You might see me as Sasha, Alexa, or Oleksandra, and it’s all me. Sasha is the Ukrainian nickname for Oleksandra, and Alexa is the name I use for my work. Whichever name you choose, it comes from the same heart.

I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer based in Minnesota. Recently, I married my best friend, and that experience changed the way I see weddings completely. Going through the planning process myself, I’ve felt every emotion my couples do: the excitement, the anticipation, the joy, and even the tiny details that make the day feel like you. When I photograph a wedding, I don’t just see a timeline or a checklist. I see a story I’ve lived, and I put my whole heart into capturing it for you.

I’m also a mama to a little boy who’s changed the way I see the world. Motherhood has made me slower in the best way, more present, more aware of how fleeting and precious every moment is.

I’ve spent over 11 years behind the camera, capturing love in all its beautiful forms: the magic of a wedding day, the quiet connection between new parents, the joy and chaos of family life. My style is simple and heartfelt, with timeless images, soft light, and honest emotion. I love photographs that feel effortless but speak deeply, the kind you’ll want to hold onto for years.

If you’re planning a wedding, waiting for a baby, or just wanting to freeze this season of life, I’d love to be there. To witness, to feel it with you, and to turn it into something lasting — whether it’s an engagement session filled with excitement, a cozy family shoot full of laughter, or a solo portrait to celebrate where you are right now. I’m here to help you tell your story with warmth, honesty, and heart.
