Alexandra Mandato

I'm Alexandra Mandato, a wedding and portrait photographer based in Maryland who helps families document significant life events. Love, in my opinion, should be honored as much as possible. Your first child, their first weeks, their first steps, and countless other milestones should all be documented and treasured for years to come. Marriage is just the beginning of your family's legacy. Let's establish a fantastic friendship that will endure for many years and be there for all of your family's life's most significant events. My clients receive more than just a photographer when they work with me. They receive a network of supporters, a lifelong companion, a dress fluffer, a scheduler, a resource, and an ally. Good day! My name is Alex, and I'm a wife, mother of two adorable little boys, dog mom to two Frenchies, and a cheerful and colorful wedding & motherhood photographer! We both grew up in the same little Maryland town and attended the same high school there! If I love something, I do all in my power to make it happen. I have the largest sweet tooth ever, could eat sushi for every meal, and time spent with my family is everything. I also adore bright colors and am Lilly Pulitzer + Disney obsessive. Disney World, Charleston, and Oak Island, NC—the small beach my family has visited every year since I was born—are some of my favorite destinations. Since I was a little child, I have always been compelled to use a camera to record fleeting moments in time. One of my many favorite aspects of my business is preserving a family's heritage by capturing the most priceless moments that will have an impact on a family for many generations to come.
