Alyssa from Studio Phrene was everything you want in a photographer, and even more. Alyssa was kind, understanding, passionate, directive, professional, creative, adaptive, and a most of all - a pleasure to work with. Alyssa was able to return both our engagement and wedding photos to us faster than ever imagined. Jessica and I, along with our daughter, Brooklynn, are forever thankful for Alyssa and Studio Phrene.

Alyssa has been such a joy to work with since day one. She is an absolute sweetheart and it so obvious that she absolutely loves what she does! She instantly made my husband and I feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We still can't get enough of our engagement photos and CANNOT WAIT to see the photos from our wedding day! An absolute professional and the sweetest person you'll ever meet. I would recommend her over and over again! So glad we chose her to capture such an important time in our lives!

I can't say enough wonderful things about Phrené! She took our engagement photos and wedding photos, and was so fun, personable, hilarious, and easy to work with. Our engagement session was seriously hot, and our photos turned out so well in spite of the heat. She kept our wedding day running even when a couple things slowed us down (as something always does!) I love her style and knowledge of photography so much and know that paying well for a photographer is SO worth it if you want to remember how beautiful your wedding was. I would absolutely recommend her over and over.

We loved Alyssa! She went out of her way to personalize our photographs. She made everything feel so natural, and she was so comfortable to be around. She was able to maintain control of a very large wedding party (18 people) all with remaining calm and polite, but would also get everyone to pay attention when need be. A photographer really helps direct the day and timeline, and let me tell you, with Alyssa.. This was a stress free day. We look forward to other occasions that we can use her as our photographer!

I highly recommend Studio Phrené! Alyssa made living in Colorado and getting married in Michigan easier then I could have ever imagined. She was extremely helpful and great to work with. Her pricing was perfect for our small budget. I feel so lucky I was able to book her on such short notice. Alyssa's photojournalistic approach to her photography was exactly what I had dreamed of. She did a phenomenal job and got our final photos to us no later then she had promised. I am so happy to have these captured moments to cherish forever!

We chose Alyssa with Studio Phrene because her pricing was by far the most reasonable we came across for such a high quality photographer. She did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures and she did an AMAZING job! Prior to the wedding she walked me through the timeline for wedding day to determine when all of the pictures would get taken and she took my input on specific shots that I really wanted. We paid a little extra to have a second shooter there with her on wedding day which I thought was totally worth it. We got several hundreds of pictures of the big day, and they all look great! These are pictures that we will cherish for decades so I am very thankful that we met Alyssa.

Alyssa was our photographer for our wedding and she has been FANTASTIC to work with. From the very beginning with our engagement pictures, she has been so helpful, friendly and professional. Her prices are extremely reasonable. I looked at several who were way to expensive, but Alyssa's pricing was around what I was looking for. We continue to get compliments on our engagement and wedding photos and everyone says what a great job she has done. We got our wedding pictures about a month after our wedding which was very nice! She is awesome!
