Today we’d like to introduce you to Alexis Metoyer.
Hi Alexis, so excited to have you with us today. What can you tell us about your story?
Growing up, I was always the friend who recorded everything. Coming over meant making some kind of weird or funny video (literally ask any of my friends). As I got older, I really started falling in love with the idea of becoming a movie director one day. After graduating high school, I went to college to pursue this dream. A few years later in 2020, an old friend reached out to me about recording her wedding. I had never done a wedding before but instantly fell in love with capturing such an important day in someone’s life. And that’s what started Lexshoot.
Recording videos is more than just pressing a button on a camera, it’s a way to actually re-live your favorite memories with your favorite people. As a kid whose dad passed away early in my life, I was so thankful being able to grow up with videos of him- I was able to see his personality, hear his voice. That is truly what I think, unconsciously, ignited my passion for filming.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
I think the biggest challenge I faced was myself. It took a long time for me to gain confidence in my work. But, I finally came to understand that God gave me this gift to serve others and that’s what I get to do. I love knowing I can give people something so special that they get to look back on for the rest of their lives.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know about your work?
I specialize in wedding filmmaking. What makes my films stand out is they aren’t your generic, cookie cutter wedding films. They’re fun, a little messy/chaotic, and showcase how the day actually happened. I tailor each film to the couple, everything from music to editing style, to ensure it feels like them.
What matters most to you?
Honestly my couple’s happiness. I’m not here to make films for other people to fall in love with or praise. I’m here to create something that my couples fall in love with. Its easy, as a creative, to feel the pressure of making something that everyone loves- but at the end of the day its not about everyone else, its about the two people promising forever to each other.
