DOCUMENTING REAL PEOPLE, REAL MOMENTS, AND REAL LOVE.
I believe in creating an intentional experience from our very first call to the final delivery of your photos. I blend an editorial feel with candid captures, creating a perfect mix of polished and spontaneous moments. And when it comes to editing, I'm not chasing the latest Instagram filters or trendy effects. Instead, I craft timeless images that you'll love just as much in 20 years as you do today.

The Experience
I believe that the best wedding photos come from a place of genuine connection. That's why I prioritize getting to know my couples – their personalities, their love story, and their vision for their wedding day. I want you to feel completely comfortable and at ease with me, like you're hanging out with a friend who also happens to be an awesome photographer. From our first meeting to the final delivery of your photos, I'll be there to support you, encourage you, and make sure your experience is nothing short of amazing.

frequently asked questions
Yes absolutely! I'm based in Virginia and primarily serve couples here, but I love to travel! I'm thrilled to join you wherever your wedding takes place. For locations more than an hour from my base, travel fees will apply. These are calculated based on the specific location and will be clearly outlined in your custom quote. Just let me know your wedding location, and we can discuss the details!
Yes! While weddings are my passion, I also enjoy photographing seniors, families, maternity sessions, branding content, and of course, couples! While these sessions might not always be featured prominently on my website, I welcome inquiries. Contact me, and let's chat about your specific photography needs!
My editing style focuses on natural, warm tones that enhance the golden light without looking overly orange. I aim to create timeless images that capture the true essence of your day. My shooting style is a blend of documentary and editorial approaches. This means I'll capture all the candid, unscripted moments as they unfold, as well as guide you through some beautifully posed shots that feel natural and authentic to you. The result is a diverse gallery that tells the complete story of your wedding day.
It's completely normal to feel a little nervous in front of the camera! Don't worry, I've got you covered! I use a mix of prompt-based posing (which encourages natural movement and interaction) and some gently guided editorial posing. My goal is to create a relaxed and fun experience where you can truly be yourselves. I'll offer direction and encouragement every step of the way, so you can focus on enjoying your special day!
Yes! I'm excited to offer film as an add-on to my wedding packages. I'm currently expanding my film photography skills, and as a special offer for 2025 and 2026 weddings, I'm offering rolls of film (36 images per roll) at a discounted rate.
For regular sessions, you can expect your full gallery within 2-3 weeks. For weddings, I provide a large sneak peek gallery within 3 days so you can quickly share some special moments with family and friends. The full wedding gallery, meticulously edited and perfected, will be delivered within 6-10 weeks. I dedicate the time needed to ensure every image reflects the beauty and emotion of your day.
My most popular package, the 8-Hour Collection, includes:

Yes! A complimentary engagement session is included in my 8 and 10 hour packages. I love getting to hang out and get to know my couples better before their wedding while also grabbing some stunning photos!
If you have already had an engagement session I don't offer a discount as it is a complimentary service, but I do offer an additional hour of coverage on your wedding day in place of the session if you would like to opt out.
From day one, she made us feel more like a friend and so much more comfortable with the whole process. From engagement photos, to assisting with planning, right up to the big day…Alyssa was honestly perfect to work with. The wedding day came with some weather issues, but Alyssa helped me stay calm all morning & somehow captured the most beautiful photos even with a tropical storm/wind trying to ruin our day. She kept our entire wedding party on track & is just the sweetest soul. Her work continues to look more amazing with each post she shares online. I have been looking at our photos everyday since! Forever grateful to have Alyssa by our side on our favorite day!
