We loved working with Alayna and her team for our engagement photos and wedding day! From the first Zoom call, my husband and I felt comfortable and cared for. We had to reschedule our engagement photoshoot multiple times (thanks Ohio springtime!), and Alayna was incredibly flexible, even reassuring me when I felt like the photos were never going to happen. Alayna was available to help answer any wedding-related questions, not just about photos, throughout our entire wedding planning process. It honestly felt like we were working with a friend even though we had only just met months before. On our wedding day, Alayna and her team helped us stay on schedule while also having a lot of fun. They were a great hype crew!

My husband and I wanted natural, "true color", not overly stylized photos and Alayna delivered! I've found my husband looking through all of the photos multiple times since we got them last week, which is probably the biggest compliment of them all!

I am SO glad that we booked Alayna and her team for our wedding photography, I cannot imagine spending our big day with someone else. She was fun, flexible, helpful and professional from our first zoom call through our wedding day! Small list of examples: she gave advice on our timeline, made us comfortable and hyped us up during our engagement session, walked the venue with me since she had never shot there before, moved us through family photos incredible swiftly, made sure we got photos with all the guests on our list and had photos turned around to us in record time. My favorite thing about working with Alayna, however, was how excited she was about all the little details and special parts of our wedding day, especially including our pup! She even took a bunch of behind the scenes video clips so we can relive our day from her and her team's perspective. I would 100% recommend and work with Alayna again.

I cannot recommend Alayna Parker more strongly as the photographer to entrust to capture your special moments. I genuinely have never had as many people compliment something as I have with my wedding photos, and the people who met her at my wedding all echoed the same sentiment that she is now part of our family. If you are fortunate enough to be given the chance to meet Alayna, none of this will come as a surprise. She is one of the most caring, friendly people I have met and this sentiment is so evident when looking at her photography.

I am very particular about photography/editing style, and I cannot restate enough how great her style is. Her editing is consistent and clean, which was one of the most important things to me when choosing a wedding photographer: I wanted someone with a truly timeless (and not trendy) editing style.

We first connected with Alayna for our engagement party thrown together in a few weeks, and I am so eternally grateful that she was available. She immediately got to work capturing the detail shots (one of her niches for a reason…she’s so good at this y’all!!) while we pulled together the last minute details. She needed absolutely no instruction at all; she’s a professional for a reason and it’s so very clear in how she conducts herself while working. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was so evident in the family photos. Alayna pulled out everyone’s most photogenic side and captured all the true, raw emotions that are innate with the most special events like these. She was so personable, and multiple people unpromptedly reached out to tell me that she was amazing and they wanted her contact information.

We decided to book her for our wedding following the great experience we had at our engagement party. All of the logistics were so seamless with her. Booking, scheduling, payment, and delivery of the galleries were all so easy and professional (and I have had a lot of experience with photographers on both ends of the spectrum). In our planning meetings, she was so detail-oriented and knew all the right questions to ask, which is one of the most important things for anyone planning a wedding. She was constantly assuaging me and is truly the bestfriend who will talk you down a ledge with her vast wealth of experience…and it’s not unheard of for the stress of wedding planning pushes you to one! She easily ranks at the top for making the experience easy.

Our engagement photos were amazing. She took all my crazy ideas and made them happen. My husband and I are the opposite of most couples: although she can make anyone photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera, we are actually quite comfortable and have worked with upwards of 20 photographers for our side hustle. Coming from this unique point of view, I feel so strongly that she is one of the best photographers we have ever worked with. I think it’s imperative to find someone that engages and encourages you as you’re shooting, and has clear direction/a vision for the shoot, no matter how small it is: all of which she has. Even the headshots I had her take for me in a random parking lot were given the same attention to detail which she gave to my wedding photos.

At our wedding, I knew (as did she) that I am a bit of a type A control freak. She immediately flagged this and throughout the entire day she was reassuring me that the timeline was a guideline, and even if we don’t stick to it to the second, everything will get captured. I told her upfront that as we were coming from the unique perspective of having no shortage of photos of my husband and I together, I wanted my main priority to be candid photos of our friends and family. She was so amazing at capturing exactly that, and I will forever cherish the memories that she captured for us. Every single person who commented on our photography not only said that the photos were beautiful, but also qualified the compliment with praise for Alayna and her outstanding professionalism and charismatic demeanor.

Alayna was so great during all of our planning, and stuck through with her professionalism and dedication at the wedding and following up. We received upwards of 150 photos and a beautiful blog post for our sneak peeks within around a week of our wedding, which were a beautiful memory that we were then able to share with our friends and family to relive the day.

I cannot reiterate how strongly I recommend Alayna to capture your wedding. She is the best photographer we have ever worked with, and I will forever cherish the memories that she preserved for us.

Alayna was hands down the best photographer we could have ever asked for! I know everyone always says that about their photographer, but she literally was the best. From the first time we met her, we knew she would be perfect for us. She is down to earth, personable, and ensures she gets to know you and everything you wish/desire to have captured in photos. We are not very serious people and are awkward when it comes to “posing” for photos, so it was important to us to have someone there who could make us laugh and capture the more candid moments and Alayna was absolutely able to do that….with a bluetooth speaker/an awesome playlist!

We are also not very “plan type” people and like to go with the flow…but with weddings it is hard to do that. Alayna went above and beyond and she sent out not only a bride’s guide book to planning and what to think about, but also a Groom’s guide. Alayna has mentioned, if she wansn’t a photographer…she would be a wedding planner. And I hands down believe she could be both if she wanted to. She would send out monthly emails to let us know what we should be doing/booking/thinking about. She truly was a life savior and sends those things to every couple regardless! She is the most organized individual and ensures she captures the “vibe” you are going for.

Garrett and I both had big wedding parties (10 on each side) and she was able to coordinate every one and ensure to get the photos we needed to get in a timely manner. We also both have very large immediate families, so you can imagine that only have 1 hour to get through 60+ family photos would be a nightmare….but Alayna ensured we had a list of every photo/family member that needed to be in the photo and she would call out names of who was in the photo being taken. It was extremely efficient and we were able to get 18 people, 7 kids and 60+ family photos done within the hour along with getting individual photos of us after the ceremony.

Not only that, she is there to be your support woman/someone to lean on when you need to vent/go through hiccups. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly how to handle any moment that may arise. She truly is a photographer that wears many hats and honestly, neither of us have had a photographer before…but we don’t ever plan on changing. We will plan to use her for every life’s moments….that is if she accepts :D

Wow! Where to start?? 1. Alayna is amazing! 2. Alayna's pictures are the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. 3. See 1 and 2. But honestly - Alayna is incredible. She is so easy to work with and so professional. She is creative and saw beauty is spaces I would have walked right by. Some of our best pictures were her saying "let's try this!" and us trusting the process and I'm SO glad we did! From the start, we had a great time. She took our engagement photos a year and a half before the wedding. Back then she was super easy to work with, then when it came time for the wedding day it was like hanging out with an old friend again. Both my husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Alayna made us shine! Our wedding album came back less than two weeks after the wedding and I cried the biggest happy tears seeing how she was able to capture all of the love and joy felt that day. We had some family cancel at the last minute, but Alayna was flexible and helped us to make it work. We had an unconventional photo timeline due to said family complications, but she worked with us and was able to capture all of the pictures that we wanted and more. She was patient with our less-than-sober wedding party and she made sure that she captured everything we wanted before moving on to the next group. I cannot recommend Alayna enough!!!

We cannot rave about Alayna enough, not only did she capture our wedding day beautifully she was such a reliable resource (and hype woman) during the entire wedding process from start to finish!

When the wedding day came Alayna and her sister were the most positive and energetic duo making sure that not only the Groom and I were calm/happy but the entire wedding party.. not to mention they had a fan to keep us cool on a VERY hot summer day, which was a big hit.

To anyone looking for a wedding photographer I highly recommend Alayna Parker, especially if you are looking for someone that goes above and beyond the description of wedding photographer and really steps up to help make the entire wedding process seamless!

Alayna Parker Photography is definitely the business you want to capture your moments. Alayna was a part of my engagement and wedding. She was so organized and had so many ideas about what to do, how to pose, and where to get the best lighting. She really puts time and effort to customize your experience to what’s best for you. She listens to your ideas and makes the environment so fun during your photo shoot. We caught ourselves laughing many times! She does a very thorough job to make sure you get more from the images and experience than you expect. She is very timely and won’t have you waiting as long as other photographers. I would definitely recommend her for any kind of photo session you want, but especially for you wedding, you will not regret it!

Alayna is a phenomenal photographer.
I have reached out to her for my dual ceremony wedding in November of 2021. I have contacted many photographers before her as my wedding is spread out over 4 days , when I first spoke to her she was very interested in taking part in my wedding and I immediately knew that she is the one I am looking for.

It was so easy to work with her She is very personable and made me and my whole family feel comfortable right away .
She is always before time , very patient and professional.

She captured the moments during during ceremonies so well that when we look at them , we feel like we are living it agin .

She is quick and perfect . She never lost her patience during the long ceremonies.
She was able to accommodate all my requests with a smile .

I could not thank her enough for giving us the perfect memories for life .

I would highly recommend her to all my friends and families and she will be our photographer for all the future events until she retires. 🥰

Alayna was suggested to us from another photographer and we are so glad that they did! On initial meeting, she was so keen on getting to know us and learning how we wanted our wedding to be. She asked so many good and important questions to really zero in on what we envisioned.

Due to worries about COVID, we actually cancelled our initial wedding day and opted for something smaller and more remote, not to mention 5 months ahead of schedule!. Alayna was very accommodating and worked with us and thankfully she was available on our wedding day.

The quality of her photos are top notch. She has a great eye for the surrounding and how to fit you in to create the best picture possible and really capture the moment. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family and we will forever be able to look back at the photos and remember our day and the love we have for one another.

We cannot recommend Alayna enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, choose Alayna!

When deciding who to capture your special day there is no one I would recommend more than Alayna. We have had so many compliments on our wedding pictures that they are the best people have seen. The quality of them the way she gets to know her clients so she can capture not only what you want and but how you look best and your true self. She met with me several times to go through details and make sure everything was perfect and she knew what kind of style photos I wanted I’ve known Alayna since I was young she actually took my graduation pictures too. She had never met my fiancé but she met with us together then we did an engagement shoot which I would highly recommend because she really got to know us and find our best poses before the big day. She is so bubbly and so kind she can make everyone have a good time on our wedding day I think she made our ring bearer smile more than anyone for those pictures and she is always open to trying what you want but also she knows the best poses for the best pictures. Normally I feel awkward being photographed but she makes the whole process effortless and fun. I am just in love with all of our pictures her attention to detail her style of photography and personality are really the best for the job. She was honestly like one of our family on the big day helped with whatever we needed when stressed and made sure it was all about us. Would highly highly recommend to anyone wanting amazing photos and a great person taking them!
