A vibeeeeeeee

From start to finish, working with Alaina was an absolute dream. She made us feel so comfortable, was incredibly flexible, and had such an easygoing, personable vibe. Even my husband said it felt like we were hanging out with a close friend—which says it all!

She completely captured the exact vibe I envisioned for both our engagement and wedding photos. Being a fairly creative person, it took a lot of trust letting go for our pictures and I couldn’t be more inspired!!! I shared my Pinterest board with her for inspiration, and she didn’t just match it—she exceeded it. Honestly, the photos she took for us belong on Pinterest for others to use as inspiration!

I’ve already told her she’s going to blow up this year with her creative, gorgeous work. We’re completely obsessed and couldn’t have asked for a better experience!

The Perfect Photographer

When we were looking for a photographer for our wedding we knew we needed someone we could trust. Alaina is the only photographer we interviewed with. After speaking to her on a zoom chat we knew that she would be the perfect person to photograph our wedding. Her photos capture everything that we were feeling and more. Alaina as a person could not be any more professional or sweet. She made the process of hiring a photographer, being photographed, and being completely vulnerable in front of another human being seem like a walk in a park. She answers every question you have in a timely manner which is fabulous for a bride and even put together the entire timeline for all of our vendors/wedding day. We got so many compliments from our guests and how lovely our photographer and photographs are. We would get married 100 times over just to have Alaina be there!

Amazing work and Alaina was so fun!

Alaina did such an amazing job with our photos and was great to work with. My fiancé and I aren’t super comfortable in front of the camera but Alaina was great with her direction. She delivered photos so quickly and was so easy to communicate with!

Engagement photos!!

My fiancé and I had a great experience with Alaina! She always responded in a timely manner which made the planning process so easy. We opted to do a sunrise photo session for our engagement photos which turned out amazing. Alaina made it easy for my fiancé and I to be in front of the camera. We received the photos so quickly and I love them!

Amazing experience

Alaina was great to work with! Very professional, punctual, and overall great personality. My husband and I did a mini session with her and she really captured our love story beautifully. Could not have asked for a better experience

Positive & Comfortable

Alaina exceeded our expectations. We decided to elope days before our dating anniversary and Alaina did not have an issue providing us with her services last minute. She made us feel very comfortable. We explained what we were looking for and she completely rolled with it. We did an hour and a half portrait session and she suggested we split our time due to lighting which allowed for perfect photographs at different times of the day.

Fun photographer who captures amazing candid and intimate photos!

Alaina is full of energy and has great ideas. She made my fiance and I feel so comfortable during our engagement session. She captured great candid moments between us while also capturing intimate moments without anything looking too posed. We couldn't choose a favorite! If your're looking for a photographer with a great personality who will make your experience super fun, Alaina is your girl.

Gates’ engagement shoot

Our experience was amazing from the beginning of this process to the very end. Alaina, is not only very professional, but also very attending to her clients (in this case my fiancé and I). Alaina has an eye for just about everything and for this to be our first experience doing any type of photo shoot, she made it feel natural while doing so. “Say what you had for breakfast in your sexy voice and whisper it into her ear.” Say what!? It definitely worked and it was a candid shot of pure joy and laughter. We had a great time and we may just book another shoot before we actually tie the knot.

Our pictures we’re great and memories were definitely captured. Thanks again.

Engagement photos of my dreams

I am still processing how beautiful the photos Alaina took for my fiancé and I are. Talking sit Alaina prior to the shoot, she was warm and friendly. She helped make suggestions on colors and outfits to wear. She let me sent her my “photo inspo” ideas and was somehow able to absorb them all because we definitely hit them all during our session. She was also great on allowing me to send her pics of what we were thinking of wearing to the shoot, just so I could get her opinion.

During the shoot Alaina was so wonderful and friendly to be around. Though my fiancé and I had never met her in person before, she almost instantly felt like someone we had already known. She made us feel super comfortable and made posing fun and enjoyable. Her enthusiasm for capturing great pictures kept the energy high.

My fiancé and I cannot give Alaina enough praises. We both talked about what a great experience we had for days after the shoot. The icing on the cake is how amazing our pictures look. We were both in shock at how great they are. When we shared them with our families, there were tears of happiness.

Thank you again Alaina!

Couldn’t Be Better

Alaina took my engagement photos two years ago, and they’re wonderful photos that my husband and I still treasure and have featured in our home. She made my husband comfortable (he’s very camera shy) and captured the sweetest genuine moments along with some poses that she knew would be flattering for a Save the Date. Alaina is kind, approachable, and unbelievably talented at making sure all lighting and settings are perfect. She seriously couldn’t be better!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
