Guided by Faith, Grounded in His Love

Meet Alexia Garcia Ferreira

My path for creating Sacred Design Studios was not born out of a trend, but rather, written by God's design in His own perfect timing.


Long before picking up a camera, my love for history had me convinced I would become an archaeologist—driven by a deep fascination with unearthing and preserving human stories. That same passion carried into my photography journey when it truly began 11 years ago in New York City, focused on capturing authentic human connection through portraits and weddings.



During those formative years, I spearheaded Breastfeeding World-a global photography project & movement created to honor, empower, and document the raw beauty of motherhood. It was through this experience that I learned that photography is never just about aesthetics; it is an act of advocacy and honoring the most sacred bonds.

Leadership & Stewardship

 

Life eventually brought me back to Martha's Vineyard as a full-time resident and single mother. To navigate the constant rollercoaster of life at that time, I set aside my photography business and stepped fully into healthcare. This transition required complete focus calling me to channel my creativity into an entirely new, untapped field.


Without realizing it, I was being refined in leadership skills I didn't yet know I possessed. For ten full years, I devoted myself to our local hospital and community, rising to become an Operations Manager in primary care at Martha's Vineyard Hospital.


This journey refined my ability to remain steady, decisive, and deeply calm under high-stakes pressure; a skill I bring directly to managing the fast-paced flow of your wedding day. But, it also taught me a truth I carry into everything I build: precision and excellence are the highest form of care.

 

 

Timeless Storytelling

Captured with Authentic Grace

Our Covenant - an Answered Prayer



In 2025, God rewrote my story when I was united in Holy Matrimony to my best friend and biggest supporter, Marcus. Stepping into a Sacramental Marriage transformed our lives, inspiring us to align our work and family entirely with the Kingdom. It was Marcus's steadfast encouragement and dedication to our family that finally reopened the door for me to return fully to my creative gift.


Stepping into the role of creative director of our own multi-day wedding on Martha's Vineyard, designing and executing every detail in just five months, gave me a deep, firsthand appreciation for what my couples experience. It cemented my desire to guiding you with total clarity, care, organizational ease and intentional art.


Our faith continues to be our pillar and everything we build across our home and businesses is offered up under our family motto: Totus Tuus.
