Alexis Sweet Photography bio picture
  • Serving Savannah, Chicago, Hilton Head, Charleston, and Jacksonville areas. 330-815-0214 alexis.l.sweet@gmail.com

  • My name is Alexis Sweet and I am a Savannah based Wedding and Lifestyle Photographer. After studying photography at Columbia College Chicago I migrated South to enjoy the warm weather and beaches. I couldn't be happier with my decision. I have found a wonderful niche in photography and have enjoyed every second of exploring it.

    My style is honest and candid. It is the moments that make the photograph, not the other way around. I also throw in a dash of editorial polish because who doesn't want to feel like a supermodel. I don't weigh down my images with crazy textures and colors. I believe that it is the subject (you) that should shine, not my editing abilities.

    As for the stuff that no one cares about? I love a good Chicago hot dog. My dog, Molly, makes me smile at least a dozen times a day. I love when the wind catches a bride's veil in just the right way. I want to see the entire world, and can't decide between India and Thailand for my next excursion. Mostly I enjoy laughing. That's what I do.

A Note to Clients and Friends

Hey Everyone-

Truth bomb!

I just want to start this out with an apology. I’m really sorry, because I know I haven’t been on my A game.

So, my mom is fighting an end stage disease. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know I hold hope. There are a lot of gory details that I will keep to myself, but it’s been mentally and physically exhausting for all involved. It has also meant that I’ve allowed my relationships, home, and business fall by the wayside. I have not paid you all the attention you deserve and I apologize. I have felt a bit like an zombie for the last few months (like, an airhead, valley-girl zombie). Information enters my brain and seems to exit it just as quickly. Sleep tends to come at random and inconvenient hours and my contact with the outside world has been spotty at best.

I have some very very patient clients and vendors out there waiting on projects. Well I’m here to tell you that I am going to do my best to get them to you as quickly as possible. If you are waiting on something, please don’t hesitate to contact me with a friendly reminder. As I said, information hasn’t been sticking too well and I have run out of string to tie around my fingers. I’ve had a bit of a wake up call this week and have realized that I need to get back to offering the quality of service I once did, or I will lose a business that I love dearly.

I cannot thank my clients enough for hanging in there with me. I want to offer the absolute best in customer service and recognize that for the last year I haven’t. I’m sorry. But the good news is this is a fresh start. I’m going to bust my way through the projects I have left unfinished, and I will deliver spectacular results. Just you wait! Again, I appreciate your support and I look forward to years and years of doing what I love. Making pretty pictures of you.

Love,

Alexis

Amanda and Claye – Savannah Trash The Dress Photographer

Here is Amanda and Claye’s beautiful trash the dress session. I love this couple! They are so kind and adventurous. The Mackey House was gracious enough to let us use their property and what an amazing back drop it was. I’m so happy for Amanda and Claye and wish them all the best in the world!

Marquita and Jaime – St Simon’s Engagement Photographer

This aviation themed engagement session was a blast. Meet Marquita and Jaime. They spend a lot of time in the air just trying to see one another. Marquita lives in Michigan and Jaime lives in Louisiana. They wanted an engagement session that emulated this time and dedication to love. Not to mention Jaime proposed after they both jumped out of a plane. Whaaaaat? That’s crazy! Crazy awesome. The folks down at Gruber Aviation in St Simon’s Island were fabulous and offered amazing access to their hanger. It was a really neat experience and I was so inspired by all of the planes. Marquita and Jaime rocked it and I hope you all enjoy!
