Alayah Joy Forever!!!

Alayah was absolutely amazing! We are so happy we went with her as our photographer for our wedding! She is very professional but also super fun and real! She makes sure you get all of the photos you really want plus some! She meets with you to help set up a timeline and a game plan before hand and is super flexible! We were doing photos of me getting into my dress and the zipper would not zip because of the fabric and she actually helped to zip it up for me when my bridal party couldn’t! So after about 30 or so minutes of that we were a little behind but she didn’t make us feel stressed at all and made it super fun but quick and efficient! Not only did she get all of the typical traditional photos and amazing photos of all my family and I (which is no small task)  but she got amazing detail photos of the venue and decorations! I barley got to see them as I was so busy so it was fun to be able to see them after in her photos! She does amazing with editing everything so you can see it and it is flattering and she gets them to you in a reasonable time after your event! I highly recommend Alayah for any of your photographer needs!

Excellent Photographer

We used Alayah for our November wedding and our engagement photos. We both were unsure on how we wanted our photos to look and she was very patient with us. She did a great job capturing all of the day from our getting ready photos to the very end of our reception. She's very professional and gets your photos back to you quick. She does high quality work and is easy to work with. She is also very patient and understanding when taking photos of toddlers and elders. I highly recommended her for your photography needs.

The best around

Booking with Alayah was one of the best choices we made for our wedding. Her photography and editing skills are amazing. She is personable, funny and knows how to get you into the right poses. Her attention to detail and commitment to deliver quality work shines through. You can tell she is passionate about what she does. I would highly recommend.

Alayah Joy

Alayah did an amazing job photographing our wedding and engagement pictures . She was organized and professional from the beginning, and was very helpful in helping us figure out some of the details when it came to pictures and timeline. She made sure she was getting the photos that were important to us. She was flexible enough to do some fun poses we wanted to do but also gave us clear directions and made the photo shoots easy and relaxed! I will be recommending Alayah to anyone that needs a photographer!

Just absolutely splendid!

She was kind, caring, and in charge. When I started to get anxious she helped keep my head on my shoulders and still made me feel like a princess! I would highly recommend her if you are an anxious bride because she helped my nerves tremendously!
