documentary wedding photography
FOR COUPLES WHO VALUE AUTHENTICITY, BEAUTY, AND BEING IN THE MOMENT
“I've been looking for an intimate, documentary style that could capture the day as it unfolds.”
“We want to remember our wedding how it actually happens.”
“amongst all of the typical wedding day craziness I want to be able to be present and take the time to appreciate the moment.”
“I am a bit awkward with a camera facing me and appreciate someone who is comfortable going with the flow.”
“I want the day to feel effortless and fun.”
“I want to look back at my wedding photos and feel like I am back there!”
“We want photos that remind us how we felt rather than worrying about getting perfectly-posed photos.”
“WHEN I LOOK BACK AT MY WEDDING PHOTOS I WANT TO REMEMBER IT AS A CONTINUOUS STORY OF MEMORIES AND NOT AS STAGED AND FRAGMENTED PHOTOS.”
“we always wonder what people do with all their old stiff wedding photos. we love that you are more there to capture the day itself.”
“Our hope is to focus on candid photos and truly capture the day - ugly cries, cheeky grins, wrinkles and all.”
Hi! My name is Alyssa, and I am a documentary wedding photographer.
All of the above quotes were taken directly from what my couples have told me about how they want to experience their wedding day. I’m not there to pose you, to ask you to perform for the camera, or to take a thousand photos of your flowers. I am there to capture the feelings and real moments of your day so you can feel it all again, every time you look through your photos.
If any of those sentiments resonate with you, I’d love to chat.
and yes, i will take any posed/group photos you want! :) but we keep it simple so you can keep enjoying your day.
