Alexandria French Photography
Alexandria photographs weddings for the nostalgic romantics. Cult cinema, 90s Vogue and raw documentary, shot on digital, 35mm and camcorder. Her brief asked for a website that didn't look like a website. We built it from scratch, with her own editor behind it, so every word and photo is hers to change.

Thechallenge.
Most wedding photography sites are the same template. A slideshow, a gallery grid, a contact form. Her couples choose her because she isn't the same, so the site couldn't be either.
Her brief was ten pages of mood boards: scrapbooks, film stills, letterpress type, paintings. It all had to feel like her without tipping into a gimmick.
She wanted to change things herself. Her photos, her words, even her colours and fonts, without waiting on anyone and without breaking the look.
Her old site already had a journal of blog posts and its own place on Google. All of it had to come across without losing a visitor.
Ourapproach.
Built from scratch, not on a theme. A pale paper ground, her own palette of olive and oxblood with a lime pop, wide-set capitals and handwritten notes in the margins.
The site moves like a film. Full-screen photographs with type laid over them, columns of images drifting past each other as you scroll, a reel of frames that pans sideways, and maroon breather pages between chapters.
The portfolio is a book you turn the pages of.
Every page ends on one soft question: would you like to begin? Enquiries land in her inbox and in her own dashboard, with one tap to call, WhatsApp or email back.
Behind it sits her own editor. She clicks any word or photo on the live page to change it, moves photos around her boards, uploads her own fonts and logo, and sets her colours from one settings page. Within weeks of launch she'd swapped photos all over the site herself.
Her journal came across post by post, every old address points to its new page, and each page has its own titles, descriptions and structured data for Google, plus a summary written for AI search.
Every photo is served at three sizes, so a couple scrolling on their phone gets the right one and the page doesn't drag.

Every page,its own chapter.
About, weddings, the journal, investment and enquiries, each one paced like a chapter rather than stacked like a template.
Made to befelt.
Boards of photographs, a film still with her notes over it, a diary of where she's travelling next, and a portfolio you turn the pages of.
