I’m Alyssa

to pay attention, this is our endless and proper work — Mary Oliver

I believe each day holds beauty and joy waiting to be discovered. In the gentle rhythms of slow living, I find solace and peace, cherishing each passing second as a precious gift woven into the story of my life. Marrying my husband and beginning our lives together opened my eyes to the beauty of being unified in covenant together. And as much as I relive our magical wedding day in the olive grove, my eyes have been opened to the importance of building a marriage instead of just planning a wedding day. As a follower of Jesus, it is my hope to carry His peace into the sacred moments of your wedding day, and celebrating with the genuine joy He’s given me. Many of my days are spent creating with the lens of my camera, but I also enjoy crafting a peaceful home, playing in the garden with our pups and sipping wine with my girlfriends. If we sound like kindred souls, it would be an honor to connect about telling your story,

Your love isn’t a trend

  • If you value slow and intentional, lots of space to enjoy moments, and don’t want to be restricted to a set timeline, you’ll need at least 10 hours

    If you really value the core part of your day, ceremony, portraits, and dinner, and don’t care for the frills of everything else, then 8 hours is perfect!

  • Technically no, but it you want to feel relaxed in front of the camera, enjoy a beautiful date night where you get to reflect on your love and dream about the future, and build our relationship that in turn makes your wedding photos that much better, then yes ;)

  • No, my craft is dedicated solely to photography. I do have a select few videographers I can recommend with you that work together seamlessly with my style.

  • I like to describe my style as friends first, photographer second. And by that I mean, I’ll never pull you away from a moment just for more photos. Your heart is what I care about most. Your wedding day isn’t about your photos. Don’t get me wrong- I will capture the heck out of your day and make sure you guys look amazing as we go- but I care more about how you feel.

    Want to pray with your girls before your ceremony? Let’s do it, we’ll take your bridal portraits after the ceremony.

    Need a snack and want to sit ? We’ll take a break so you can catch your breath.

    Want to skip sunset photos and just enjoy cocktail hour with your family and friends? More than fine by me!

VALUES OF A.B. PHOTOGRAPHY

Hosting the Moment

O1
YOUR WEDDING DAY WILL BE STUNNING, NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. AND WHILE MY GOAL IS TO CAPTURE THOSE DREAMY, INTENTIONAL MOMENTS, MORE THAN THAT IT IS MY HOPE TO ATTUNE MYSELF TO YOUR NEEDS + PRIVACY THROUGHOUT THE DAY. A MOMENT FOR YOU TO BREATHE IS MORE IMPORTANT TO ME THAN THAT ONE EXTRA SHOT.

Authentic Friendship

I KNOW WELL THE EBBS + FLOWS OF WEDDING PLANNING. THE BEAUTY + EXCITEMENT. THE TEARS. THE WAITING. AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, I WANT TO BE A FRIEND TO HOLD YOUR HAND, TAKING SOME OF THE WEIGHT OFF OF YOUR SHOULDERS SO YOU CAN FULLY ENJOY YOUR SEASON AS A BRIDE.

Documenting what’s Real

THE LAST THING I (OR YOU!) WANT IS FOR YOUR WEDDING DAY TO FEEL LIKE A PHOTOSHOOT. THROUGHOUT THE DAY I MAY GUIDE YOU THROUGH SOME CANDID MOVEMENTS OR ASK YOU TO SHIFT TOWARDS THE LIGHT, BUT MY HEART IS TO SIMPLY BE A QUIET PRESENCE, DOCUMENTING YOUR LOVE IN REAL TIME.
