More about me!

I’m your moment capturer, hype girl, moral support, and your Pinterest board’s biggest fan. I take the overwhelm out of wedding and elopement photography by keeping things natural and laidback. At the end of your time with me, I have the honor of gifting you some of your absolute favorite moments to replay for the rest of your lives. Ready to make it happen?

My husband and I have been together for 8 years. He’s truly my biggest supporter! I feel so grateful to have him champion me through running a small business. We enjoy exploring new coffee shops, playing pickleball (he always beats me), singing in the kitchen to the ‘Wicked’ soundtrack, playing board games, traveling, going to Lake Michigan in the summer, and recently we’ve loved camping in our new pop up camper. We’ve been married for 5 years and sometimes talk about what we would change about our wedding day if we could go back.

I wish I was more adventurous for my wedding day…

Don’t get me wrong, I loved our day - surrounded by all our favorite people. But I regret one thing… doing everything traditional. I wish we got coffee together the morning of our wedding, did the first look, had an ice cream bar, did an outfit change, or took photos in an epic location. That fit us. I wasn’t sure how to make it happen and I wish I would’ve had someone to help me along the way. This is why I believe your day should be about what’s important to you!

Alyssa is amazing! She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera. The photos she took look so romantic, natural, and candid. I love how our photos turned out and I couldn't recommend her enough! You will not regret booking with Alyssa. She is a warm, loving presence and captures memories to last forever.

Alyssa is absolutely fabulous! I'm sure any wedding day is pretty busy but we threw Alyssa a curve ball and asked if she'd be up for a helicopter ride with a glacier landing for photos before the ceremony. Thank goodness she said yes; it was amazing and her photos captured it perfectly. I really appreciated having Alyssa's help creating a timeline and recommendation to create a list of group photos we wanted. Having these made the day so much easier and stress free. To top it off, our sneak peak included so many more photos than we expected and we are eagerly awaiting the rest. The day truly felt like a dream and Alyssa's photos reminds me that it was real.

We’d be a good fit, if…

You’re adventurous and excited to share your vision

You’re ready for true, organic, timeless photos

You want someone to support you every step of the way

You trust me and my process
