Ali is not only an incredibly talented photographer, but she is also the nicest and most comforting person to work with! She made our wedding day so relaxing and fun because she came prepared and even knew the names of our family members we wanted to have in the photographs. We appreciated Ali's attention to detail, fast communication, professionalism and welcoming smile! Our family and friends still talk about how amazing she was at the wedding. You will have the best memories of your life captured beautifully! We would highly recommend and encourage you to have Ali photograph your event.

Synopsis: Ali was such an amazing partner and advisor throughout our entire wedding process, and an even better leader and cheerleader the day of. She was always very fast and thorough in her responses (throughout the 12 months we worked together) and helped us make many key decisions (which was especially important for an indecisive bride like myself). I trusted her completely the day of because in the months leading up to our wedding, she often kept me organized. And most importantly, her pictures came out amazing and beautiful.

Detailed review: After picking out our venue and setting a date, the first vendor we researched was our photographer given our belief that the memories coming out of wedding were going to be the most valuable and important to us. We reached out to Ali ~12 months before our wedding date (along with a dozen or so other photographers) and after jumping on a Zoom to get to know her and looking through some full albums, we decided to move forward with the full day package with a second photographer. Our biggest deciding factors (in order of evaluation) were: 1) Her level of professionalism, responsiveness, experience and organization, 2) How beautiful her albums were (we evaluated her for style, how she captured key moments / emotions, how genuine and vivacious the photos were), 3) Her reviews and 4) How she fit with our personality.

We kept in touch with Ali for the next few weeks but got a true taste of working with her in the weeks leading up to our engagement photo shoot and during the day of. She helped us decide what outfits would work well, where in Boston to do our engagement shoot and gave us tips on how to get ready. I highly recommend doing an engagement shoot (which was part of our package) with her as it gave us an opportunity to become comfortable with having a camera aimed at us (we are both camera shy) and we really got to know her (so that by the day of the wedding, it was like having a close friend photograph us). We were able to do an outfit change midway through the shoot (Ali even helped cover me while I changed in the parking lot) which also allowed multiple backdrops / styles for our wedding website.

As we planned our wedding, Ali continued to be a very important factor in a lot of the decisions we made while wedding planning – from our wedding palette to where we would do our first look to our wedding timeline. She was always very thoughtful in her responses, and I completely trusted her opinion.
On the day of our wedding, Ali and her assistant (Tara) showed up early and got right to work. As we got ready, they were able to capture a lot of moments without us even realizing they were there. And when it came time to doing more formal pictures, they were able to guide us on how to pose so that the pictures looked natural. They brought a light, fun and calming feel to the day and made everyone in our wedding party (and us in particular!) super comfortable, while staying super organized and on time without sacrificing any pictures or moments (we may be one of the few wedding parties ever to be punctual / early). (Key tip: outside of each other, you probably spend the most time with your photographer so it is so important they make you feel comfortable and work well with your personality! Ali absolutely did that!) It is also important to note that we had a separate videographer and I had read reviews that sometimes the photographer and videographer clash and fight over key moments. From the start, Ali built a relationship and partnership with our videographer so they were able to both capture key moments without sacrificing either output.

Despite a busy wedding season over the summer, Ali delivered a sneak peek just days after our wedding. In the sneak peak, she shared some very beautiful moments that we were able to share on social media and that allowed us to continue the high / momentum of positive emotions coming out of our wedding weekend. They also were such a great teaser for all the wonderful pictures that were to come just weeks later and got us really excited about the release of the album. Just as the memories and magic of our wedding weekend were starting to wane, Ali then delivered our entire wedding album which allowed us to relive our wedding once again (they came at such a high quality, especially in the surprising short turnaround time). We absolutely loved the pictures. There was an ample and great mix of portraits (self, first look and couple, group and family) and all were wonderful. She captured a lot of details (décor, floral arrangements, cocktail hour, food) that as a busy couple, we missed / were not able appreciate the day of. Most importantly, Ali and her assistant were able to capture genuine, emotional and very candid pictures of our parents and of us as we shared our vows – which helped bring us back to that exact moment in time. They also managed to get photos of every single guest (we had a wedding of ~150 guests) and because the album release came so early, we were able to print out pictures of every single guest and include individual prints in our thank you cards. It is so nice to now visit friends’ homes and see pictures from our wedding on their fridges or in frames. We were so happy with the outcome of our photo albums – both in the quality and the diverse and comprehensive mix of photos.

Words can truly not express how happy we were with working with Ali and the outcome of our photos. I highly recommend her!

We first came across Ali as she was a preferred vendor for Pierce farm. After speaking with various photographers before deciding on Ali, we felt that she matched exactly what we were looking for in a photographer and after seeing her previous work, we were set. We aren’t particularly confident in front of a camera so doing an engagement photoshoot seemed a good way to go, not only to build some confidence but also to meet Ali whilst we were visiting the US (we normally reside in the UK) and to get an early experience of what the person responsible for capturing our big day was like. This was one of the best things we did in the lead up to the wedding as Ali was great, so personable and professional at the same time. After our engagement shoot was done, a short couple of weeks later we received those pictures back and were so happy with them! Great pictures which captured real moments and really helped build our excitement for what our wedding photos would look like after the big day. 

When the wedding came around, Ali arrived on the day to capture myself and my bridesmaids getting ready. We also opted to have a second photographer whom was downstairs with the guys and capture various detail shots before guests arrived a few hours later on. For the most part, our main photos were taken before our ceremony took place which was great as it left us able to enjoy the day and not take us away from when the party started! After working with us to collate a list of the photos that we wanted captured, we can honestly say since receiving our photos that there isn’t one picture that we feel we missed out on from the day. The photos were uploaded to Ali’s website in around three weeks after the ceremony, which was so much quicker than we expected!

There’s so much more we could say about Ali but the importance of good photos on your wedding day is paramount. When the day is done and you’re reminiscing about it shortly afterwards, the inevitable “I wish we could do it all again” conversations begin and whilst that obviously isn’t going to happen, we’ve both found Ali’s pictures really do bring it back to life and we now have those to look back upon fondly for the rest of our lives. We give the highest of recommendations to Ali!

Ali is AMAZING! She is so sweet and so talented the second we met her we knew she would be out wedding photographer! She is very quick to respond and answer any questions and so helpful with day of details and schedule! You won't be disappointed!

From the day we met Ali we knew that she would be the perfect photographer for us. You could tell from the beginning that she shows dedication to her work and has a true passion for photography! My husband and I were both very nervous at the beginning of our engagement photo session. Ali quickly knew just what to do to get us to loosen up and feel much more comfortable in front of the camera. When seeing our engagement photos, we were overjoyed with the results. We knew we had made the right decision by choosing Alicia Petitti Photography. For our wedding, she made the planning process so easy and was always available to answer any of our questions. Ali made sure to photograph every aspect of the wedding from the small details to all the beautiful moments that happened on our big day. We have so many amazing pictures to look back on for years to come. We can truly relive our wedding day by looking through them all!! We highly recommend Alicia Petitti Photography and we look forward to working with her again in the future!!

My husband and I worked with Ali for our Fall 2021 wedding, and we feel that it was the best decision we could have made for our wedding day. From the engagement shoot, to the planning process, to the wedding day itself, Ali was a tremendous pleasure to work with. The quality of her work speaks for itself, and she captured beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. What really sets Ali apart from others in the industry is that she goes way above and beyond the scope of her role. Ali was early for every meeting we had with her, she delivered far more photos than we expected her to deliver, she calmed our nerves when the stress of the wedding day became overwhelming, and she felt like mentor to us throughout the planning process because she was always there with recommendations when we needed them. Ali was such an important part of our wedding, and we highly recommend working with her if you get the chance. We can't get enough of her photos, and we look forward to working with her to capture other important milestones in the future.

Ali is the absolute BEST. Ali has a unique ability to capture the little moments and genuine emotion through her photography in a way that I have never seen by any other photographer. She captures the real emotion of your special day that makes you want to look at your photos time and time again.

We first got engaged in August 2019 and from the start Ali was so easy to work with and so organized. When the pandemic hit, Ali was so accommodating and willing to postpone our engagement shoot and wedding day shoots. Ali also comes extremely prepared. Before our engagement shoot, she scoped out locations and lighting for the best shots. On wedding day she also arrived early to make sure we got our full day's worth of shooting on time.

Ali takes feedback very graciously. If there was a pose or shot we didn't feel comfortable doing, Ali immediately pivoted - no sweat. Ali was also absolutely critical on our day of - our trolley down and so we had to quickly rearrange the order and timing of shots. Ali and her second photographer Jen (who was also amazing!) were all over it and were able to fit in all our shots in the original time allotted.

Ali quickly got us sneak peaks of both our engagement photos and wedding shots so we were quickly able to enjoy them. We have also gotten SO many compliments on how gorgeous the shots are. Ali's filtering is very natural, and she really is able to capture the candid moments perfectly (while also making you look flattering).

I absolutely cannot recommend Ali enough. If you have the opportunity to book Ali, DO IT!!!!

I wish I could give Alicia more than 5 stars, she really was that good! My husband and I both really wanted to find the perfect photographer to match our energy, style, and overall feel for our day and Alicia did that and more. Not only are her photos gorgeous, she was an absolutely amazing person to work with. She was always available when we needed her, literally created our entire wedding day timeline for us, constantly gave us advice and was an overall extremely positive presence throughout our wedding planning process (she was the second vendor we hired, after our venue). The day of the wedding, Alicia took control of directing us all to get the perfect shots, and her efficient decision making was so reassuring on a day when you're so stressed about everything going right. I could go on and on, but I will end with saying that if you are up in the air about who to hire for your wedding photographer and you are looking for any of the things I described above, hire Alicia. I'm sure she will exceed your expectations just like she did ours!

My husband and I had a great experience working with Ali! In general neither of us are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but with Ali's direction throughout the process that was not the case on our wedding day. Her photos of us turned out absolutely beautiful!

We appreciated Ali's professionalism from our first emails with her through our wedding day: she answered all the questions we asked, and she got in touch with us prior to the wedding to discuss the details for the day and to make sure she had a list of all the photos we wanted. When Covid-19 interrupted our plans for our original wedding date and reception, Ali was flexible and willing to work with us when we needed to reschedule. On our wedding day, Ali guided us through a smooth and streamlined (but not rushed) photo-taking experience. And to top it all off, when the flash drive she mailed us with our wedding photos had a defect that rendered it unusable after opening it for the second time, she promptly mailed us a new one!

Ali's service and photos were top-notch, and we're looking forward to working with her again for our reception next summer!

Having Ali as our photographer was one of the best parts of our wedding experience! Covid cancellations and out of state regulations resulted in us having to replan everything in just 6 weeks, finding all new vendors including photographer. BUT luckily we were able to have Ali be our new photographer, and she did an amazing job! Since it was a small wedding, she was the only shooter and i was just amazed at the ground she covered. She perfectly captured our entire day and the photos are beautiful. But the best part about Ali is her amazing personality, she is a delight to work with. She is so organized and thought of everything ahead of time, down to what hanger I was going to hang my dress on! She wrote out the most amazing detailed schedule and stuck to it on the day of, causing the day to run so smoothly. I felt entirely relaxed with Ali in control. When we did our first look and photos together, Ali kept as laughing and smiling the whole time and erased any nerves we might have had. During the ceremony and reception, she was unobtrusive but managed to capture every guest and all the most important moments. She delivered our final gallery very quickly and we are completely happy with the final product. Definitely hire Ali to be your photographer!
