About

Our motto is relationships first, photos second. We're here to get to know YOU & take photos of your memories. This isn't about what we want to get out of this, it's about documenting your wedding day.

I'm Ali. I do a lot of the 'management' of this here business, but really I'm the photographer. I love taking photos of people, specifically photos that feel real. I don't believe in staging moments or forcing you into a pose, I believe in creating an atmosphere that makes you feel comfortable to express your love. & then I just take photos of it. It's great.

My husband Nate has been showing up on wedding days with me for about 8 years, he used to play the role of my second shooter. This year we're relaunching this whole thing & making it about both photos & video. He's worked in the commercial film world for 10+ years, specializing in documentary work. So take that + many weddings & you get a beautiful story about your wedding day, which is really just about your love.

All that said, we're here for you. We're not just going to meet you on the day of your wedding, we're going to be alongside you for the ride, answering questions & reminding you that it's just a wedding. Your love is for a lifetime. & that's what matters.

Ali Happer's photography has not only helped me relive one of my favorite days, but she has given me images that remind Cody and I how very special and intimate that day was. As a fellow photographer I took this decision very seriously and knew that Ali Happer had the talent to really go above and beyond anything I could have dreamed. If you book her as your photographer expect dreamy images, a relaxing time and lots and lots of smiles!!

Of all the choices my husband and I made in planning our wedding, choosing Ali to capture our moments was FAR AND ABOVE the best choice that we made!! She is not only an incredible photographer who TRULY tells a story with her photos, but she is also an amazing individual that will be your friend and make you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. The emotions that we see in our photos she took could never be captured any other way, and they are the best memories!! We did engagement pictures with Ali, where she followed us to multiple locations around the city, and we also planned our entire wedding day with her, where she spent probably 12 hours with us all in all. She gave us all of our photos in a jump drive once edited, and she's willing to do absolutely anything to ensure you have the best wedding day you imagined. I cannot recommend her enough!!

Ali Happer is the most genuine and fantastic photographer. She is so easy to work with and never gets overwhelmed or flustered, thank God she is able to bring calm and peace to what could be a chaotic day for any bride. My wedding photos are absolutely gorgeous, she has a romantic touch and has a way of making you feel relaxed to capture effortless poses. I would 100% recommend her.

Ali is amazing! She captured our wedding day so beautifully! And our engagement pictures! We love her!!! We reccomend her to anyone that asks! She is so easy to work with and became fast friends! She brings such indivuality to every wedding she shoots! Your pictures are going to be amazing and not look totally posed and unnatural! She truly captures the love between the two of you!

Ali was the biggest blessing on my wedding day! Her down-to-earth spirit, but genuine excitement helped me to relax + soak up every moment! As someone who hates being in front of a camera / is really awkward when taking photos - Ali created an atmosphere that was so natural + fun that I didn't even notice her! Overall 12/10 - if I could have her take photos of my everyday life, trust me I would. You will not be disappointed when booking her!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
