About

There’s nothing more important to me than my people. Therefore my memories with them are so important. I’ve found that memories are best remembered through stories and my favorite thing is to bring stories to life through photos. You deserve to have your memories captured for you so they are never, ever forgotten. Chances are if you’re reading this, you want that too!

Before we get too deep into this you need to know that each love story is incredibly special, and different and unique. So each film and photo is too. I don’t have a cookie cutter template that I follow. I match the vibe of your day to the vibe of your story. I’ll incorporate your personalities, your love and so much more into your photos or one freaking incredible film that will perfectly represent you two. Anything short of that would be a disservice to your love story. That being said all packages are customized to your wants and needs. I’ll work with you to make sure you get everything you want and need for your love story!

The Most Amazing Individual AND Photographer

Gosh, I don't know where to begin with Arleigh. From the beginning, it felt like we knew Arleigh for the longest time. She made us feel so comfortable from the get-go. Her friendly and full of positivity and love personality made us feel so sure about choosing her as our wedding photographer. She was always just a text away for any question I had. She captured our personalities and love in the most beautiful way. The photos she took truly showed who we were as a couple. In addition, she was a calming force as I was full of anxiety before walking down the aisle in front of a huge crowd. She made sure we were happy and calm the entire day and was always willing to take care of us in any way she could. I know I will be forever recommending Arleigh to others, as well as using her in the future for family portraits.

Friendly & great pics!

I have loved working with Arleigh at AGS. She was so friendly and responsive during the booking process. Our engagement pics turned out exactly how we envisioned them and now I’m so excited to have her take our wedding pics.

Amazing Wedding and Engagement Photography

Arleigh was a dream to work with! I went with her for my engagement and wedding photos and I couldn't be happier! She did such a good job helping us loosen up and get really comfortable when taking our engagement photos. Turn around was so quick and we had so many good options we chose for our save the dates. We just got our wedding day photos back and I'm over the moon! Turn around was about a month. I can tell that she really took the time to select the best and most beautiful shots. It makes me feel like I'm back at my wedding day!! She did a great job keeping the ball rolling on my day and checked in with me often, making sure I had water and even pretzels! LOL. I'm so glad I went with Arleigh and Alivia Gray Studios.

Wedding Coordinator + Photographer

Hello, my name is Amber and I am a planner and photographer behind Alivia Gray Studios. It would be my honor to be of service to you on your big day. We accept all couples, traditions and wedding types.

I am happily married to my husband Tim. I planned our wedding and loved every second of the planning process. I have been in the industry for over a year now. It has been an incredible experience to have met Arleigh and have her to help jump-start my new career! I grew up knowing how to take photos with the help of my step-mom and have found more interest in it over these past few years. I am excited to for our 2021 and 2022 couples despite this tough year we have encountered.

I will be your buddy every step of the way and work together as a team to ensure your day runs smoothly. There will be hiccups in your day and I will do my very best to let those go unnoticed.

Let's chat over the phone, get some coffee or my favorite, anywhere with french fries.

Owner + Lead Photographer

Hey there, I'm Arleigh. ( or Ar, AP, AK). The eyes behind the camera at Alivia Gray Studios. H. Alivia & Gray(son) are my kiddos, They inspire in every way.

My love of love, weddings, raw emotion, and getting to know beautiful people drove me into the field of wedding photography. I get to capture each couple's love story and freeze their celebration memories.The truth is your wedding is a once in a lifetime occasion - The two of you are about to start the most challenging, rewarding, exciting, life-changing experience of your lives together - And choosing someone to capture that day through photography is a big decision.

It's important you find someone whose work you LOVE - But I believe it's just as important you find someone who will bring out the best of who you are in your photos! After all - life is meant to be an amazing celebration - You probably want a photographer who is fun to be around! I'm a lover of adventure, dreamers, artists, and I'm slightly addicted to pizza. Give me a good photo spot and I can get lost for hours.

If you think we'd be a good match please message me and let's chat (maybe over coffee, pizza, or both).
