investment guide
I believe in documenting your story as it naturally unfolds so when you look back you can feel every tear, hear every laugh, and soak up every quiet, in-between moment all over again.
m e e t a l y s s a
i discovered my love for documentary photography while earning my bachelor of fine arts degree. at the time, wedding photography felt very traditional and rooted in posing and staging. i loved the general idea of weddings, but i wanted none of that. i knew i could tell true stories of real wedding days in a way that would preserve moments for a lifetime. that has been my north star for the last 10 years.
on your wedding day, i will quietly observe and document the moments unfolding before me. i believe it is your job to enjoy and experience your day to the fullest, and it’s my job to honor and document that story. it really is that simple.
you can forever find me chasing the moments, the emotions, the humor, the beauty, the light, and the little details all throughout your wedding day so that you can re-live it over and over again.

“Alyssa’s work really outshines the field in terms of integrity, authenticity, and artistry. She cares about documenting emotion and the fleeting, beautiful moments that fill your wedding day, but that can be so difficult to capture if you don’t have her careful, attentive eye. She finds unique and surprising perspectives to tell stories that would otherwise be unheard, and she also has a knack for being in the perfect place at the right time to capture the tear or smile that sums up a lifetime of loving someone. Yes, she’s that good.

Lovely! We will start by putting together an agreement with your chosen collection. A signed contract + 50% retainer officially reserves your date!
-
I capture weddings as they naturally unfold, focusing on genuine moments, emotions, and the quiet in-between. My documentary approach creates a timeless, artful story that lets you relive the day exactly as you experienced it.
-
While every wedding varies, you can expect a minimum of 50 beautiful images per hour of coverage. More hours + more shooters = more final photos, but I don’t put a limit on it, and I would never hold back a photo I think you would love.
-
Absolutely! I am very flexible if your needs change as your wedding approaches.
-
Of course! No two weddings are the same, and I am more than happy to put together a collection that fills all of your requirements. Please let me know if I can put together a custom proposal for you!
-
Final galleries will be delivered within 8 weeks of your wedding, and sometimes sooner depending on current season and backlog. But you will receive preview images within 1 week of your wedding!
“Alyssa made us and our love feel so special! She is so insanely talented and we are in love with her work. We are so glad it was Alyssa that got to capture all these amazing moments for us. I don’t think I’d trust anyone else with such a huge and important project. She captured exactly what we wanted: the essence of the whole evening. Love, family, friends, and the tiniest bit of debauchery. ”
“I was looking for someone who was going to capture the day as it happened, and not have our photos feel staged. Alyssa did just that but exceeded expectations. I’ve noticed after going to other weddings that sometimes wedding photos can feel hectic and stressful. Not once did Alyssa pull us away from a conversation just to get a photo. In turn it just made the whole day feel smooth and laid back. ”
