Alyssa is INCREDIBLE and so wonderful to work with throughout the wedding planning process in Washington, DC! My husband and I were thrilled with our decision to have her photograph our wedding day and our engagement! Alyssa’s style of just enough direction to make sure the photos look good but otherwise capturing us how we are and how we naturally interact is perfect. On the wedding day, she expertly supported family photos with folks with mobility issues in ways that were easy for them to navigate but still resulted in seamless photos. Alyssa’s photos are really the perfect mix of the small moments that made our wedding day so special, the candid laughter and jokes between the two of us and our loved ones, naturally posed family, friend, and wedding party photos, and all the decor and things in between that made the day feel like OUR wedding. Importantly, Alyssa responds quickly to all emails, is extremely organized, and delivered all our photos quickly. Her superpower is capturing the essence of you as a couple and making it look so good!

We booked Alyssa for our wedding at the recommendation of a friend, and we are so happy we did! Alyssa is professional, organized, friendly, and an incredibly talented photographer. We did an engagement shoot with her about a year before our wedding, and she eased all of our nerves about being in front of a camera.. and the photos were perfect. She is a great communicator, which really put us at ease leading up to our wedding. Her payment/invoice system is easy and clear, and she was always super quick to respond to emails. On our wedding day, she was amazing... friendly & fun while still giving us & our families the direction we needed. The second shooter she brought along was great, as well. We got lots of previews back (like 50!) the very next day and absolutely LOVE them all. I can't recommend her enough!

We had the pleasure of having Alyssa capture our engagement photos and wedding. She is nothing short of amazing. From start to finish, she was quick to respond and gave me honest advice. She is so personal and it felt like hanging out with a friend all day! She is patient and is dedicated to what she does - getting GREAT candid and real photos. She captured our special day exactly how we imagined. Everyone keeps raving out how amazing her shots and editing are. The previews she provided us are just amazing and I know for a fact the rest of our photos will be nothing short of amazing. Thank you alyssa for being there for me and Matt from the start. I will definitely be using you again in the future!

Alyssa and her second shooter Tia were fantastic! Alyssa’s pricing was reasonable and she listened to our individual wants/needs. Her questionnaire was thorough and it made sure she captured what was meaningful to US. She was on time, non-intrusive, direct with friends and family for portraits, and she gave us a sneak peek the night of our wedding! Her shooting style is real and meaningful to the couple. Thank you Alyssa!! We truly love our pictures.

Alyssa shot our engagement photos and wedding and it was easily one of the best decisions we ever made. We could not be happier with our photos (especially the ones she got with our dog which are the cutest). They're beautiful, intimate, and timeless. Alyssa is organized, responsive, flexible, professional, friendly and just a dream to work with. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone!

Let me just start by saying that Alyssa is a magic maker. She is able to capture the beauty in every moment no matter what is thrown at her. Alyssa will be a great addition to anyone’s wedding team and we couldn’t recommend her more. We were drawn to Alyssa’s shooting and editing style after she was recommended to us by our wedding planner, The Otherside Creatives. Alyssa was warm and welcoming during our first call together and we knew she would be a perfect fit for us. As she splits her time between NYC and Baltimore (and we are a NYC/Baltimore couple) we were able to do our engagement photos in Brooklyn and our wedding in Baltimore, which was a huge perk. Alyssa managed to make our engagement photos look so ethereal and dreamy despite bad weather. She was also so encouraging and made us feel comfortable as first time photo shoot participants! Alyssa accommodated a date change for us due to the pandemic and was in constant communication leading up to our wedding. The day of our wedding Alyssa continued to cheer us on and make sure that we got all of the shots (and more!) that we were looking for. She wrangled guests and bridal party members like the best of them! Alyssa provided us with sneak peek photos less than 24 hours after our ceremony which were beyond our expectations. The photos are so gorgeous and we can’t wait to relive our wedding from Alyssa’s perspective when we receive our full album. Alyssa even surprised us with a video reel on her Instagram which was such a treat to watch a bit of our big day in action. Without a doubt Alyssa was a huge asset to our wedding day and we highly recommend booking with her.

WOW. I have no words for just how amazing Alyssa is! Alyssa was recommended to us by my sister’s wedding photographer, and we couldn’t be happier. Alyssa initially met us for drinks and appetizers in the city, and it immediately felt like we were friends. She’s so easy to get along with and really seemed to understand my husband and I as a couple. When it came time to plan our engagement shoot, Alyssa was on-board to brave the cold in November and help us recreate our first date - a picnic in the park. Alyssa was so great about including our two dogs in the photos as well. Her turn-around time for the engagement photos was less than what was promised in the contract, and we couldn’t wait to see her again for our wedding! Once COVID happened, we were unsure of what was going to happen with our wedding. Alyssa was not only flexible with our lack of new plan, but she was there to listen to us vent about our concerns with everything happening in the world. Ultimately, we decided to have a small backyard, immediate family only ceremony and push our big celebration with extended family and friends to 2021. Unfortunately, Alyssa is unavailable for our new 2021 date (her new couple is EXTREMELY lucky to have her!), but she was willing to make the trek out to my parents’ home in New Jersey for our elopement/micro-wedding. Alyssa arrived prepared with her mask and followed all social-distancing protocols. She made us feel safe, but we also felt like we were getting the exact same Alyssa from our engagement shoot. When my mom asked if she could receive a family photo prior to receiving the full file of photos, Alyssa didn’t hesitate to share an additional photo with her. Alyssa delivered our final pictures in well under the 6-8 weeks as stated in our contract, and there are too many amazing ones to choose from for an album! We’re so incredibly thankful that we found Alyssa!

Planning a wedding during the COVID-19 pandemic has been stressful for brides. However, I appreciate that Captured by Alyssa reached out to me to while planning for the uncertain to alleviate some of that stress. She was detailed and provided us options. When planning a wedding, you want to know that your vendors actually care about their clients. I would definitely recommend her, especially during an already stressful time of wedding planning. Also, her pictures are gorgeous!

My husband and I could not be happier with how our wedding pictures turned out. We received so many compliments from family and friends. These pictures captured our wedding day perfectly! Alyssa executed each shot I had requested for the day and truly captured them exactly how I had imagined. From getting ready with my bridesmaids, walking down the aisle with my Dad, pictures down by the water, and AMAZING lighting at sunset with my new hubby, she gave us everything we hoped for and more! Hands down will be recommending Alyssa to family and friends in the near future.

I don’t recall exactly how I stumbled upon Alyssa’s Instagram, but I am so glad I did! I loved her style and reached out to inquire about our wedding date immediately. Alyssa was a pleasure to work with from start to finish. She respected our decision to not do an engagement shoot, was flexible with pricing, and even met my fiancé and I for a drink a few months before the wedding so we could meet in person prior to the big day. Alyssa was so easy to communicate with during planning and on our wedding day she managed to check off everything on our shot list all while being professional, friendly and a calming presence.
AND HER PHOTOS. I knew from looking through her blog that her photos would be beautiful and real – exactly what I wanted for our wedding photographer. It was such a treat to get a quick preview of photos before we left for our honeymoon, and all her pictures from the day blew us away! We will cherish them always! Thank you, Alyssa!
