Weddings by Barlow Media Group
Always remember the best day of your life.
Our Approach:
Your wedding day is all about you and your significant other, and we don’t want to get in the way of that! My team and I strive to make it feel like you’re actually present at your wedding, surrounded by your loved ones, embracing every little moment, and not feeling like you’re a model in a photoshoot. For much of the day, our goal is to make it seem like we aren’t even there.
We aim to capture your ceremony and reception in a way where you feel fully immersed. Your ceremony and reception shouldn’t feel staged. We want to document genuine love and connection.
Of course, we always make time to take photos of your family, friends, wedding party, and you and your spouse. There’s a place for posed shots. And when it’s time, we do our best to make you as comfortable as possible, so you can be your true selves and not feel stiff or awkward.
This is your wedding day. It’s not a photoshoot, and it’s not a video set. You and your significant other should be focused on one another, and we’ll be focused on capturing that love.

“We had Alec do our engagement shoot as well as our wedding video. Throughout the time we worked with him from the engagement to the wedding day, he was always very responsive and accommodated all of our wishes. I ended up using the engagement pictures as our wedding guest book and everyone loved it! On our wedding day, Alec made us feel so comfortable and captured our day so perfectly. We asked for a candid video, and that’s exactly what he delivered!! I highly recommend Barlow Media Group for photography and videography!!”

“Alec and his team made our wedding last forever through their work. They were easy to reach and work with, and their attention to detail ensured that there were no awkward patched of light or weird spots in the backgrounds of my photos! Alec made a list of the pictures that we discussed and not only did we get all of those, the teams lighthearted nature allowed us to take photos that were very natural and playful! Our pictures turned out great and were returned to us in a timely manner. I highly recommend Barlow Media for your special day! ”
