Hey ya'll!

We are Alexandra & Paul - A husband and wife photography and videography team.

I am a luxury wedding and boudoir photographer based in Denver, Colorado. I strive to capture the best parts of forever, all while making your day effortless. - Alexandra

Joining my wife with videography I am capturing memories, one video at a time. I strive to catch all those timeless and priceless moments for you to look back on forever. - Paul


why behind the smiles?

This is our daughter, Avie Mae. When she was 15 months old, we finally received her diagnosis of Angelman Syndrome. It’s a rare neurogenetic disorder and one of the characteristics of this syndrome is smiling.

If you know Avie Mae, you know her smile and her laugh! it is rare not to see her smiling, and that’s where the name Behind the Smiles comes to play. While she went through endless doctor appointments, therapies, genetic testing, EEGs, etc I would always document those and called it “Behind the Smiles” and that is where the name comes from.

Behind the smiles was a dream to work with!! Alex blew us away starting with the engagement session making us feel so comfortable from the beginning. She understood exactly the style I wanted for our photos and was so so sweet day of even for a couple who is a little camera-awkward. I can't thank Alex and Paul enough for capturing so many precious memories and for being so sweet and helpful. I had no worries with them as my photography team and they covered everything I wanted and more. You will not regret hiring them for any life event!

Alex has been a blast to work with! From our very first session with her, I felt like we had known each other all along! She makes you feel confident and the pictures come at ease! On our wedding day, she captured all the pictures we wanted and more without making us feel rushed or anything! Her timeline was perfect! I also can’t forget her sweet assistant who became more like my personal assistant, lol! They were such a fun group to work with!

Working with Alexandria on my maternity photos was the best experience. She had so many beautiful dresses for me to choose from and truly made me feel beautiful. She is so easy to work with and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. If you need photos, I highly recommend Alexandra! AND if you are a photographer looking for BEAUTIFUL dresses, check out her rentals!
