I’m so glad that we hired Alyson for our wedding. Where do I begin? First of all, Alyson is the perfect balance of professional (always on time, does quality work) and approachable (laid back, flexible, super friendly). Plus her prices are reasonable for what you get. I knew she would be great to work with when we told her that instead of engagement photos we wanted professional photos of my husband in full armor for his fencing club, and she was totally cool with doing that. We talked to another wedding photographer before Alyson who refused.

My husband and I don’t have a lot of experience with weddings and we were so glad that Alyson guided us through the process so we knew what to expect. We’d be lost without her. She and her assistant really went above and beyond, especially on our wedding day. We had a small wedding so we didn’t hire a day-of planner (big mistake) and Alyson and her assistant stepped up big time. My bridesmaid had a last-minute work emergency and couldn’t help me get ready. Alyson and her assistant helped me get dressed and out the door. I’m eternally grateful! Alyson’s assistant also helped out with music, fixed my hair, plus staged some of my favorite silly photos of the day.

When it was time to review photos I think they took like 600+ throughout the day. Alyson composed a lovely album for us. We ended up splurging on the album because there were so many photos that we loved and we couldn’t decide. Alyson also did a leather cover with a custom symbol on the front. It was so awesome and I’m excited to share this album with our family.

One thing I didn’t consider when I hired a photographer is that you are not just hiring someone for the big day, you are hiring someone for several months (engagement photos, wedding album, edits, etc.) I think we were working with Alyson for about 9 months. You want to hire someone you will enjoy working with over an extended period of time. Alyson is that person. She is responsive, extremely helpful, and a pleasure to work with.

Alyson was so professional and wonderful to work with from start to finish. She is kind, thoughtful, prompt, reliable, and up for anything (including our windy, freezing cold engagement shoot on the sand dunes). I really love how timeless her work is, nothing too trendy with heavy filters and such, just great quality photos. Thank you Alyson!

5 out of 5 stars for Alyson! We were first impressed by Alyson's beautiful portfolio, noting she had experience photographing intimate outdoor ceremonies like we were planning. After our initial get-to-know-you call, we had a really positive feeling about working with Alyson. Right off the bat she was responsive, organized, warm, and collaborative. She answered all of our questions, helped us understand all of the necessary points for consideration regarding capturing our wedding, and made us feel really confident and excited about having her with us on our special day. Alyson even went above and beyond by offering to meet us at our location prior to our wedding date to walk and talk through some photography ideas.

The day of our wedding, Alyson was prompt and professional. She made sure to photograph the meaningful objects and elements we had discussed in advance and had a way of finding the best spots for us to get some really beautiful photos. The final products Alyson delivered to us are just so wonderful - she shared an extensive album and a blog post, exceeding our expectations. We are so pleased with how the images turned out!

Given her kindness, level of engagement, and skill - both on the day and in post-production, we couldn't feel better about recommending Alyson to anyone who wants to have an excellent experience and perfectly-captured photos.

Thank you, Alyson!
