About the Brand
ABOUT THE BRAND
Founded by Alexandra + Matthew, Modern Archivists exists at the intersection of light and living memory. We are obsessed with the ordinary — the moments that don't announce themselves, the ones that linger long after the day is gone. Every wedding we photograph is an act of preservation. A testament to the beauty that was always already there.
AS A CHRISTIAN COUPLE, WE truly believe MATTHEW AND ALEXANDRA MADE perfect sense.
— Stephanie + Nick | 2026 couple
I’m Alexandra. Entrepreneur turned photographer. Traveler. Perpetually found with a camera in one hand and my bible in the other. I search for beauty and meaning, in every moment and everywhere I go.
My background in fashion and creative design shapes everything I create—I’m drawn to clean lines, timeless composition, and the subtle choreography that turns candid moments into something cinematic. My work is recognized for its balance of sophistication and the warmth of genuine emotion.
For me, photography is less about staging perfection and more about celebrating truth with style. I believe capturing love authentically requires an intimate understanding of it. I've had the honor of experiencing real love, real loss and the power of human connection. My style was born from these experiences to be truthful and beautiful. These are the moments I live to capture—the ones that prove style is eternal, emotion is universal, and love, in all its glamour and grit, is the most beautiful subject of all.

I'm Matthew. Designer, filmmaker, son of God. I have spent my whole life noticing things other people walk past — and I built a career out of making sure those moments don't disappear.
With a background in graphic design, I am drawn to the story living inside a frame and the composition that makes you stop. Growing up, I spent a lot of time as a guest in other people's homes. I noticed things. The glances across the dinner table, the quiet adoration, the way families move around each other when no one is performing. That is where this started.
For me, photography is less about what a moment looks like and more about what it means. I came to this work having witnessed love from the outside long before I understood it from the inside — and that vantage point never left me. It is why I am drawn to the truth of a photograph over the perfection of one. These are the moments I was built to capture — the ones that prove emotion is the most powerful design element of all, and that love, seen clearly and held carefully, is the most cinematic subject there is.
