YOUR MEMORY KEEPERS, storytellers, husband and wife photo and video team.
Hi, friends.
We're Alex & Haley.
Alex and I met when I did an internship at his home church in Wisconsin. We were mostly acquaintances, but reconnected several years later when we both ended up working at the same church in Indiana. While everyone else was convinced that we were meant for each other we remained skeptical.

After a few months of denial I finally told Alex that I liked him and he responded, "I've been waiting a really long time to hear you say that." Years later we are married, bought and renovated our first home, and have two pups...our Airedale Terrier, River and Bertie, our Bernedoodle.

We are the classic opposites attract scenario. Alex is analytical, quiet and observant, and careful with his words. I am more outgoing, feely, and a total open book. While we are very different, we find a common ground in our easy going nature, creativity, and desire to serve others.
When we aren’t documenting families and weddings, you can find us enjoying a night at home watching movies on the couch, hanging with friends on the back patio, or dreaming up our next vacation.

Our Story
Before I got the chance to know them, three of my grandparents passed away. I have only been able to know more about them through the stories that are told. As I get older I am increasingly grateful for the family members that have preserved family photos and home videos so that I could have a glimpse into the lives of my grandparents.
Why we do what we do.
GENERATIONS LATER, I AM ABLE TO KNOW MORE ABOUT MY FAMILY HISTORY BECAUSE SOMEONE MADE THE DECISION TO TAKE A PHOTO.
This is why we do what we do. We believe that as photographers, we are documenters, storytellers, history preservers. This is why we believe that your honest, messy, normal lives are beautiful and worth documenting.

(She/Her) I have always felt a deep connection with items that have history and would frequent thrift stores and antique malls as soon as I was able to drive. I am a lover of all things aesthetically pleasing, and am inquisitive by nature.
As a middle child I’ve noticed I am a strong mediator and find myself being a listening ear to friends. I feel most connected to others when they allow me into their story.
All these things give me a unique perspective as a photographer. I have learned that I am able to serve our clients best when I really invest in the relationship. Once I understand your passions and values, I'm able to create images that are meaningful and emotional specifically for you!
(He/Him) The first thing you should know about me is that I am from Wisconsin, and proud of it. I love cheese and brats and frozen custard and the Green Bay Packers.
After spending nearly a decade pursing a career in education, I said, “to heck with that,” and became a videographer. I started making videos while working at a church, then took things seriously when Haley and I got married.
I enjoy using videography to tell a story, create a mood, and draw people into an experience. I think that video is the most emotional medium. You can see more, hear more, express more, and experience more through videography than other forms of art.
Actually Chandler Rose isn't even a real person. We put our middle names together to form a brand that is a little bit of both of us!

Who the heck is Chandler Rose?
At our core, we are true homebodies. We love having a place to call home, to curl up on the couch, and to welcome friends for building relationships and community. Our home is a place where anyone is welcome. When people come over, we want them to feel at ease, and free to kick their shoes off and make themselves at home. This is exactly how we want our couples and families to feel when they have an experience with our business!
You can sit with us!
There is no need for stress or insecurity...just a cozy, warm, inviting feeling allowing you to be exactly who you are!
