I knew I wanted Alea at my wedding from the start. I have followed her blog and watched number pus brides get married through her beautiful pictures. With most photographers I'm used to a few awesome pictures and a few that are just so-so. With Alea I started noticing a trend that I literally liked every picture from every wedding she posted. I was so excited when she was open on our wedding day! I never had a chance to meet alea (due to my schedule) before the wedding. But when she walked in the day of my wedding it was like hanging out with an old friend! She was so calm and fun and sweet. Everyone in my wedding party loved her. I felt very at ease. Two days after my wedding I was on a plane to Spain and looked up her blog to see if there were any 'sneak peek' pictures and she had already finished all of the pictures! I could not be happier with my experience. Besides my venue alea was the most expensive thing I paid for wedding wise. But I don't regret it for a minute. Thank you thank you thank you alea for making my big day that much more special and for giving me the gift of beautiful memories long after I've forgotten!!

Not only should this photographer be your first choice, she should be your only choice. Alea is as sweet and amazing in person as the art she creates. She is not just a vendor for your wedding, she becomes your advocate, your visionary and your story teller. It isn't possible to articulate what it is you want until you realize she got it. She was always available to answer my silly questions and when I asked to try something she did, even if it didn't work out, which a few didn't.
Strangers of mine and my husband's parents at work have complimented these photos with things like "I feel like I know this couple!" and "It looks like they are so in love!" My single friend's parents want to book her! To say she is worth every penny, is a disservice to what she does and what you'll get. Hands down.

Alea is a vendor you MUST have on your list for your wedding day. We can't say enough good things about her, not only personally, but as a professional photographer as well. Alea is dedicated, organized and super friendly, however, she is also a photographer who understands timing and lighting, which are two key ingredients in a fantastic wedding photographer. Her compositions are absolutely beautiful. We thoroughly enjoyed how personal Alea was with us and our family and friends... we've made a new friend of our own!
