i'm Alyssa ruby,
your
capturing all love stories
I'm so happy you're here! My name's Alyssa, and I'm based in Sacramento California, serving all of Northern CA and beyond. Over 6 years ago, I photographed my first ever wedding for my cousin in the Bay Area. From that moment on, I knew this was my calling. Nearly 200 weddings later, I'm so grateful to call this my dream career! I enjoy documenting experiences, moments, and memories to the fullest extent. I also just started offering videography services to my packages as well!
I'm a lover of film photography, super 8, reality tv, romcoms, sunsets, roadtrips to the beach, and my 5 year old corgi, Georgie.

Values
authenticity
Capturing moments as they happen is my specialty. The raw emotions of your day is what makes the photos come to life.
Inclusivity
LOVE IS LOVE! All love & all humans are welcome. Your love story is always accepted here.
nostalgia
I'm a hopeful romantic at heart, and I love looking back at old photos and feeling that sense of nostalgia and the emotions all over again.
If you love film, movement, black and white photos, candid moments, & a documentary style, then we'll get along! When it comes to my shooting style, nothing is too posed or staged. I will give you direction of course, as I never expect people to know how to pose. I’m constantly shooting to capture those in-between moments, which often times ends up being my favorite photos because they are the most genuine. I love capturing who you authentically are so you and your loved ones can look back at these photos for generations to come.
I value an amazing client experience. I'm not just going to show up to your wedding or session knowing nothing about you, take some photos, and then go home. I will be with you every step of the way from start to finish. I enjoy the entire process of planning your engagement session, helping to create your wedding timeline, setting up phone calls & sending you questionnaires to get to know you more as a couple, so you feel super comfy with me even before stepping in front of the camera.
Inclusivity is a core value at Alyssa Ruby Photography. All love & all humans are welcome here.

Her talent speaks for itself, but seeing her vision align with ours on our wedding day (sprinkled in with a great attitude!) was something I will always remember and be grateful for.

"Run, don’t walk, to book Alyssa. I can’t say enough positive things about Alyssa!! She is kind, communicative, she edits photos at the speed of light, and she’s just downright incredibly talented. My wife and I felt so comfortable in front of Alyssa’s camera. She knew exactly how to direct us to get natural portraits, and she caught such amazing and beautiful candids on the wedding day. If what you’re looking for is a talented, responsible professional, who can guarantee you gorgeous, high quality wedding photos, book Alyssa!!"

"Alyssa is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but was there to support my husband and I on our day and added so much to our celebration—she was even out on the dance floor enjoying with us as she was taking shots which we absolutely loved. Alyssa is so professional, kind, and flexible. She made us feel heard and captured all the perfect moments of our day and was so on top of everything. She also got our pictures back SO quickly and everyone was raving about them!! If you are looking for a photographer, I can’t recommend Alyssa enough!!!"

"If you are considering booking Alyssa for your event DO IT. She truly the best in the business. Alyssa was so wonderful to work with. She is organized, thoughtful, and so talented. 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."
