About

My name is Alyss, rhyming with felice, and I'm here to drink all the coffee and take your photograph. I collect colored tights, encourage jumping on the bed, and prefer reading over sleeping.

I have a love of uncommon words that honor the common things in life. Balter: to dance clumsily with much enjoyment. Pareidolia: the instinct to seek familiar images in clouds or constellations. Hoppipolia: the act of jumping in puddles. Cafune: running your fingers through the hair of one you love. Strikhedonia: the pleasure of being able to say, "to hell with it." Psithsurism: the sound of wind in the trees.

And my favorite; Videnda: things that should be observed because they mark the character of a person or place.

If I photograph you, I will encourage you to play, even in your pretty photo shoot clothes. I will ask the real questions and listen for your story in the answers. I will search for that thing in you that creates that spark in your eye. I want to capture who you really are... when you are just yourself relaxing in your sweats, flaunting your videnda.

THE best wedding photographer!

We had such an amazing time with Alyss. We were able to also do our engagement photos with her and she truly captured the day of our wedding with such style and grace. She is so fun to be around and her team was so professional. I would highly recommend her for many reasons. She makes you feel comfortable. She had us laughing and smiling all day. She also knows how to keep couples and all moving parts on the timeline. Sometimes we forgot we were having pictures taken, and I think that's when the true beauty of the day shined. We interviewed so many photographers and Alyss truly felt like a professional that we could trust with our wedding. Not to mention, she delivered our sneak peeks right away to get us through the few weeks before our gallery. We were able to reminisce during the honeymoon. I know I will be looking at these photos and sharing them for years to come.

Seriously, just hire Honey already.

I can't remember now how we found Honey, but I am so so so glad that we did. Immediately after we contacted Alyss, she scheduled a meet-and-greet with us, and we had what felt like a catch-up chat over Zoom (we were planning our wedding from out of town) even though it was the first time we'd ever seen each other. I started following Alyss on Instagram, and by the time we met for real on the day of the wedding, it felt like we were old friends. Alyss is a genuine, open, friendly, goofy, delightful human; an incredible photographer; and a super professional vendor. I am AWKWARD in front of the camera, but she helped me feel comfortable. I do not usually love pictures of me, but I swoon over our wedding pictures daily. (No joke. They play on our Google Home, and I fall in love every time I see one.) Alyss and the Honey team will make you feel good, make you look good, and radiate love and joy on your wedding day. You can't put a price on that. (But if you could, it would be more than they charge, which is insanely fair and reasonable for what you're getting.) We joke that Alyss is now our lifetime photographer. I hope she is okay with showing up to every birthday party, new pet adoption, etc. for the next few decades...

Absolutely Incredible

I truly cannot say enough amazing things about Alyss and her team.
I mean REALLY incredible team who enhance everything about your wedding!! We worked with Alyss and Cate who kept us laughing and feeling comfortable throughout the entire process; engagement photos and the whole wedding day. It was so much fun to work with them and the photos are stunning. Our friends and family all commented on how much they enjoyed them - especially the bridesmaids who felt like they made the getting ready even more fun. My sister already told me she wants to work with them when it's her turn! Thank you Alyss and Cate for the gorgeous photos, all of the laughs and making us feel so comfortable (not to mention we miss working with you guys!). You will for sure be our go-to for any future photo shoot needs!!!
