LET’S DITCH TRADITIONAL
and do whatever the heck you want to do on your wedding day!
There are no rules for your day. It’s easy to get swept up in the traditions and expectations! You deserve jaw-dropping photos that reflect the real you, with no pressure to fit into any mold. Whether you prefer something bold and adventurous or subtle and intimate, your day should feel like your day.
Planning a wedding can feel like a nonstop stream of opinions, Pinterest boards, and “but you have to do this” advice. It’s a lot. Somewhere between the spreadsheets and the timelines, it’s easy to lose sight of what actually matters. My role goes way beyond showing up with a camera — I’m here to help you slow down, tune out the noise, and focus on what feels right for you two. The messy, emotional, wildly joyful moments? Those are the ones worth remembering and documenting.
calm in the chaos
Permission to break the rules
If you find yourself questioning certain traditions or holding onto the ones that genuinely matter to you — good. That means you’re doing this intentionally. Whether you’re dreaming up an intimate elopement or a big wedding with all your favorite people in one room, you deserve an experience that feels honest and unforced. I’m here for the couples who want photos that feel like memories, not poses — the kind you can feel when you look back on them. I’m intentional to make the experience memorable, laidback, easy, and joyful that your worries melt away and you feel FREE to be yourself—without thinking, without trying.

The connection.
The people.
The celebration.
The love.

Alyssa is amazing! She has such a passion for photography and it’s so evident when you’re working with her that she loves what she does! She makes you feel so comfortable and confident during your session. She comes ready with so many ideas on how to make your vision come true. I’ve done my college graduation pictures, my engagement pictures, and now my wedding pictures with Alyssa and I can’t wait to book her for all of my other big life events! She does amazing work and puts her heart and soul into it. Can’t recommend Alyssa enough!!

We couldn’t recommend Alyssa more. From start to finish, she made the entire day feel calm and seamless, which was such a gift on a day that can feel overwhelming. Her peaceful presence kept everything running smoothly, and we always felt at ease in front of the camera. We’re absolutely in love with how our photos turned out—she captured our day so beautifully and authentically. We’ll cherish these photos forever!

During the wedding planning process, Alyssa is very organized, professional, responds quickly, and helpful! She listened and focused on what was important to us so we got exactly what we wanted for our day. She asks all the right questions ahead of time. On the day of the wedding, she followed the schedule and helped everyone stay on time! Her photo prompts were perfect to capture the true love and happiness of the day! She made the picture taking time and special moment for my husband and I to have by ourselves. The photo gallery she created was the perfect, beautiful summary of our day

Working with Alyssa was the best experience I could've imagined! From engagement pictures, to wedding planning, the actual day, all the follow up, and the delivery- it all went flawlessly. She was a HUGE help with setting my whole wedding day timeline and a great help in making it all flow together just as planned. She helped pull together the whole day and captured every aspect of it so amazingly. We couldn't be more thrilled with the pictures we got back. We can truly relive the whole day through them. The quick return on sneak peaks were so fun to get right as we were heading out on our honeymoon, and the final delivery of all the photos along with a beautifully put together book and polaroids was a perfect way to wrap up the experience! Would highly recommend!!

"I cannot even put into words how wonderful it was to work with Alyssa. To start, her personality is so warm and welcoming. My husband and I are not fond of getting our photos taken but Alyssa did a great job of making us feel comfortable during the process. The perfect balance of creativity and professionalism! When we got our wedding photos back we were in LOVE. They were absolutely beautiful; filled with romance, love, and fun!"
