From the start, she was so warm and friendly, making us feel at ease and comfortable in front of the camera. She took the time to understand our vision and captured every moment perfectly.

The photos turned out absolutely stunning. Alyssa’s attention to detail and her ability to capture genuine moments truly shine through in every image. She made sure we were completely satisfied before she wrapped up for the day, and it was clear she genuinely cared about making our experience perfect. If you’re looking for a photographer who is professional, personable, and exceptionally talented, Alyssa is the one!"

Shooting with Alyssa for our wedding and our engagement was a blast. She made our wedding day stress free, handled my crazy Italian family and got every shot I could’ve hoped for AND MORE. Alyssa made both me and my husband feel so beautiful at each shoot. She is your the #1 hype woman and has a talent for getting true candid shots and capturing special moments you might even miss on your day."

"We met Alyssa a few years ago and has been taking our photos ever since! She has done our anniversary photos, business branding photos, and now our engagement photos! We are constantly in awe with her work and the moments she captures so perfectly. Alyssa is not only an incredible photographer, but such an amazing person! She is a literal ray of sunshine! She is able to make you feel so comfortable and confident and always helps direct to make sure you’re looking your best! I have worked with a lot of photographers and one thing that stands out is she makes sure every detail is perfect! If you have a strand of hair out of place, she helps move it for you. That’s just one small example of her making sure the shot is the best it can be! We will forever be using Alyssa for our photos and future milestones in our life. We are so so grateful for all of the photos she has taken for us and always fall more in love with her work every time!"

"I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about Alyssa and her work. Truly she is a gem of a human and her work is stunning. I have done 5 different shoots with her and all of them have been beyond dreamy and truly better than I ever could have imagined!
I found Alyssa when looking for a wedding photographer and she blew us away with our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She captured such special candid moments like I had hoped for, and the vibe of her edits are soooo good!! Since our wedding shoot I have hired for her my business branding shoots, more couples shoots, and to be honest I will be using her for every shoot for ever because she is just so special! 💓
She really took the time to ask me what I wanted and to check that I was happy with the shots she was getting and the vibe! Not many people do that! She not only takes the time to make sure you are happy but she is so kind and positive during your shoot, you can’t help but feel comfortable ! Alyssa is the best!"

"We hired Alyssa to shoot our reception in September. Alyssa was so incredible to work with- She was extremely responsive throughout our planning process and made sure to note exactly what kind of photos we wanted and what our overall vision was. Upon receiving the gallery, we were truly blown away and our expectations exceeded. She did an amazing job at capturing truly in-the-moment photos of us and our guests. Our friends and family have been raving about them, saying they belong in a magazine and we couldn't agree more. We also added film, which added a great touch to our gallery!"

"Having Alyssa as our photographer was one of the best choices and investments we could have made during our wedding planning process. We do not consider ourselves photogenic people, however Alyssa made us so comfortable in front of the camera. We were completely amazed at how great both our engagement and wedding photos turned out. She was so organized, detailed, calm, friendly, and funny from the jump. All these things were important as the wedding process can be a wild one. Her turnaround time was also so quick! We really appreciate all the hard work she put into our photos!"
