    Alayna made my wedding feel special!

    I am SO glad that we booked Alayna and her team for our wedding photography, I cannot imagine spending our big day with someone else. She was fun, flexible, helpful and professional from our first zoom call through our wedding day! Small list of examples: she gave advice on our timeline, made us comfortable and hyped us up during our engagement session, walked the venue with me since she had never shot there before, moved us through family photos incredible swiftly, made sure we got photos with all the guests on our list and had photos turned around to us in record time. My favorite thing about working with Alayna, however, was how excited she was about all the little details and special parts of our wedding day, especially including our pup! She even took a bunch of behind the scenes video clips so we can relive our day from her and her team's perspective. I would 100% recommend and work with Alayna again.

    You found your photographer

    I cannot recommend Alayna Parker more strongly as the photographer to entrust to capture your special moments. I genuinely have never had as many people compliment something as I have with my wedding photos, and the people who met her at my wedding all echoed the same sentiment that she is now part of our family. If you are fortunate enough to be given the chance to meet Alayna, none of this will come as a surprise. She is one of the most caring, friendly people I have met and this sentiment is so evident when looking at her photography.

    I am very particular about photography/editing style, and I cannot restate enough how great her style is. Her editing is consistent and clean, which was one of the most important things to me when choosing a wedding photographer: I wanted someone with a truly timeless (and not trendy) editing style.

    We first connected with Alayna for our engagement party thrown together in a few weeks, and I am so eternally grateful that she was available. She immediately got to work capturing the detail shots (one of her niches for a reason…she’s so good at this y’all!!) while we pulled together the last minute details. She needed absolutely no instruction at all; she’s a professional for a reason and it’s so very clear in how she conducts herself while working. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, which was so evident in the family photos. Alayna pulled out everyone’s most photogenic side and captured all the true, raw emotions that are innate with the most special events like these. She was so personable, and multiple people unpromptedly reached out to tell me that she was amazing and they wanted her contact information.

    We decided to book her for our wedding following the great experience we had at our engagement party. All of the logistics were so seamless with her. Booking, scheduling, payment, and delivery of the galleries were all so easy and professional (and I have had a lot of experience with photographers on both ends of the spectrum). In our planning meetings, she was so detail-oriented and knew all the right questions to ask, which is one of the most important things for anyone planning a wedding. She was constantly assuaging me and is truly the bestfriend who will talk you down a ledge with her vast wealth of experience…and it’s not unheard of for the stress of wedding planning pushes you to one! She easily ranks at the top for making the experience easy.

    Our engagement photos were amazing. She took all my crazy ideas and made them happen. My husband and I are the opposite of most couples: although she can make anyone photogenic and comfortable in front of the camera, we are actually quite comfortable and have worked with upwards of 20 photographers for our side hustle. Coming from this unique point of view, I feel so strongly that she is one of the best photographers we have ever worked with. I think it’s imperative to find someone that engages and encourages you as you’re shooting, and has clear direction/a vision for the shoot, no matter how small it is: all of which she has. Even the headshots I had her take for me in a random parking lot were given the same attention to detail which she gave to my wedding photos.

    At our wedding, I knew (as did she) that I am a bit of a type A control freak. She immediately flagged this and throughout the entire day she was reassuring me that the timeline was a guideline, and even if we don’t stick to it to the second, everything will get captured. I told her upfront that as we were coming from the unique perspective of having no shortage of photos of my husband and I together, I wanted my main priority to be candid photos of our friends and family. She was so amazing at capturing exactly that, and I will forever cherish the memories that she captured for us. Every single person who commented on our photography not only said that the photos were beautiful, but also qualified the compliment with praise for Alayna and her outstanding professionalism and charismatic demeanor.

    Alayna was so great during all of our planning, and stuck through with her professionalism and dedication at the wedding and following up. We received upwards of 150 photos and a beautiful blog post for our sneak peeks within around a week of our wedding, which were a beautiful memory that we were then able to share with our friends and family to relive the day.

    I cannot reiterate how strongly I recommend Alayna to capture your wedding. She is the best photographer we have ever worked with, and I will forever cherish the memories that she preserved for us.

    The Photographer with Many Hats!

    Alayna was hands down the best photographer we could have ever asked for! I know everyone always says that about their photographer, but she literally was the best. From the first time we met her, we knew she would be perfect for us. She is down to earth, personable, and ensures she gets to know you and everything you wish/desire to have captured in photos. We are not very serious people and are awkward when it comes to “posing” for photos, so it was important to us to have someone there who could make us laugh and capture the more candid moments and Alayna was absolutely able to do that….with a bluetooth speaker/an awesome playlist!

    We are also not very “plan type” people and like to go with the flow…but with weddings it is hard to do that. Alayna went above and beyond and she sent out not only a bride’s guide book to planning and what to think about, but also a Groom’s guide. Alayna has mentioned, if she wansn’t a photographer…she would be a wedding planner. And I hands down believe she could be both if she wanted to. She would send out monthly emails to let us know what we should be doing/booking/thinking about. She truly was a life savior and sends those things to every couple regardless! She is the most organized individual and ensures she captures the “vibe” you are going for.

    Garrett and I both had big wedding parties (10 on each side) and she was able to coordinate every one and ensure to get the photos we needed to get in a timely manner. We also both have very large immediate families, so you can imagine that only have 1 hour to get through 60+ family photos would be a nightmare….but Alayna ensured we had a list of every photo/family member that needed to be in the photo and she would call out names of who was in the photo being taken. It was extremely efficient and we were able to get 18 people, 7 kids and 60+ family photos done within the hour along with getting individual photos of us after the ceremony.

    Not only that, she is there to be your support woman/someone to lean on when you need to vent/go through hiccups. She is extremely knowledgeable and knows exactly how to handle any moment that may arise. She truly is a photographer that wears many hats and honestly, neither of us have had a photographer before…but we don’t ever plan on changing. We will plan to use her for every life’s moments….that is if she accepts :D

    Alayna Parker Photography's reply:

    Love you guys so much and I'm so happy I could help your day go as smoothly as possible! I accept your offer to be your photographer for life 😍

    The most beautiful pictures I've ever seen

    Wow! Where to start?? 1. Alayna is amazing! 2. Alayna's pictures are the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. 3. See 1 and 2. But honestly - Alayna is incredible. She is so easy to work with and so professional. She is creative and saw beauty is spaces I would have walked right by. Some of our best pictures were her saying "let's try this!" and us trusting the process and I'm SO glad we did! From the start, we had a great time. She took our engagement photos a year and a half before the wedding. Back then she was super easy to work with, then when it came time for the wedding day it was like hanging out with an old friend again. Both my husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Alayna made us shine! Our wedding album came back less than two weeks after the wedding and I cried the biggest happy tears seeing how she was able to capture all of the love and joy felt that day. We had some family cancel at the last minute, but Alayna was flexible and helped us to make it work. We had an unconventional photo timeline due to said family complications, but she worked with us and was able to capture all of the pictures that we wanted and more. She was patient with our less-than-sober wedding party and she made sure that she captured everything we wanted before moving on to the next group. I cannot recommend Alayna enough!!!

    The best there is!

    We cannot rave about Alayna enough, not only did she capture our wedding day beautifully she was such a reliable resource (and hype woman) during the entire wedding process from start to finish!

    When the wedding day came Alayna and her sister were the most positive and energetic duo making sure that not only the Groom and I were calm/happy but the entire wedding party.. not to mention they had a fan to keep us cool on a VERY hot summer day, which was a big hit.

    To anyone looking for a wedding photographer I highly recommend Alayna Parker, especially if you are looking for someone that goes above and beyond the description of wedding photographer and really steps up to help make the entire wedding process seamless!

    Alayna is the best

    Alayna Parker Photography is definitely the business you want to capture your moments. Alayna was a part of my engagement and wedding. She was so organized and had so many ideas about what to do, how to pose, and where to get the best lighting. She really puts time and effort to customize your experience to what’s best for you. She listens to your ideas and makes the environment so fun during your photo shoot. We caught ourselves laughing many times! She does a very thorough job to make sure you get more from the images and experience than you expect. She is very timely and won’t have you waiting as long as other photographers. I would definitely recommend her for any kind of photo session you want, but especially for you wedding, you will not regret it!

    Perfect wedding pictures

    Alayna is a phenomenal photographer.
    I have reached out to her for my dual ceremony wedding in November of 2021. I have contacted many photographers before her as my wedding is spread out over 4 days , when I first spoke to her she was very interested in taking part in my wedding and I immediately knew that she is the one I am looking for.

    It was so easy to work with her She is very personable and made me and my whole family feel comfortable right away .
    She is always before time , very patient and professional.

    She captured the moments during during ceremonies so well that when we look at them , we feel like we are living it agin .

    She is quick and perfect . She never lost her patience during the long ceremonies.
    She was able to accommodate all my requests with a smile .

    I could not thank her enough for giving us the perfect memories for life .

    I would highly recommend her to all my friends and families and she will be our photographer for all the future events until she retires. 🥰

    So easy to work with and takes beautiful pictures!

    Alayna was suggested to us from another photographer and we are so glad that they did! On initial meeting, she was so keen on getting to know us and learning how we wanted our wedding to be. She asked so many good and important questions to really zero in on what we envisioned.

    Due to worries about COVID, we actually cancelled our initial wedding day and opted for something smaller and more remote, not to mention 5 months ahead of schedule!. Alayna was very accommodating and worked with us and thankfully she was available on our wedding day.

    The quality of her photos are top notch. She has a great eye for the surrounding and how to fit you in to create the best picture possible and really capture the moment. We've gotten so many compliments from friends and family and we will forever be able to look back at the photos and remember our day and the love we have for one another.

    We cannot recommend Alayna enough. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, choose Alayna!

    Perfect experience

    When deciding who to capture your special day there is no one I would recommend more than Alayna. We have had so many compliments on our wedding pictures that they are the best people have seen. The quality of them the way she gets to know her clients so she can capture not only what you want and but how you look best and your true self. She met with me several times to go through details and make sure everything was perfect and she knew what kind of style photos I wanted I’ve known Alayna since I was young she actually took my graduation pictures too. She had never met my fiancé but she met with us together then we did an engagement shoot which I would highly recommend because she really got to know us and find our best poses before the big day. She is so bubbly and so kind she can make everyone have a good time on our wedding day I think she made our ring bearer smile more than anyone for those pictures and she is always open to trying what you want but also she knows the best poses for the best pictures. Normally I feel awkward being photographed but she makes the whole process effortless and fun. I am just in love with all of our pictures her attention to detail her style of photography and personality are really the best for the job. She was honestly like one of our family on the big day helped with whatever we needed when stressed and made sure it was all about us. Would highly highly recommend to anyone wanting amazing photos and a great person taking them!

    Amazing photographs and wonderful service

    Alayna was amazing throughout the entire process! She was flexible, professional, supportive, and put us both at ease. She retuned high quality engagement photos within days. My family adored her and she made our wedding day so much fun.

    Picture perfect memories

    Alayna was amazing to work with and it truly shows in all of our photos (which she got to us 4 days after the wedding!) I felt so comfortable with her the entire day and I believe our pictures are better because of it! She caught so many beautiful candid moments and we are so lucky to be able to look at our photos and relive our perfect wedding day for years to come.

    Absolutely amazing!!

    Alayna is absolutely amazing to work with! She not only is a fantastic photographer, but she also helps with wedding coordination through all of her planning tools. Her style is laid-back, but direct which was great for both our engagement session and wedding day when we were nervous and excited. Not only did she send us a date night package and flowers the week before our wedding, but she also sent us our photos only 6 days after our wedding! And to make things special for us at our wedding she provided us with a sneak peak of some of the best photos from the day! I cannot say enough wonderful things about our experience with Alayna. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, I would highly recommend Alayna for your special day!

    Worth every penny! Amazing work!

    What an amazing, talented, and wonderful young woman (and photographer) Alayna Parker is! Alayna came recommended by our wedding planner, Jennifer Drew with "Something to Remember", and her photography is worth absolutely every penny. She shot an engagement session with my fiancé and I to get to know us, and shot our wedding ceremony and reception with her sister. The photos are nothing short of perfection. She is so talented in how she composes each shot, and always catches the most gorgeous lighting. She captured our special day perfectly. And to boot, she was so much fun to work with and had us laughing and enjoying the process. I would absolutely recommend her to family and friends, and will hire her in the future for events!

    Exceeded Our Expectations!

    Alayna photographed our engagement session in January and our wedding in July, and blew us away with all of the images from both sessions! Pictures were our top priority and we'r so glad they were because her pictures of our wedding day still bring a smile to our faces and memories to our minds. She was flexible with the timing of things, but also so organized and helpful with planning the photography schedule, as well as willingly giving advice for any other wedding/marriage questions we had. We would recommend her to any engaged couple we know, hands down.

    P.S.: We were AHEAD of schedule on pictures after the ceremony, so she was able to capture more family portraits and bridal party pictures! (What wedding is ever AHEAD of schedule on pictures?!?!?)

    Alayna was amazing. I first met Alayna when she shot my best friends wedding just over a year ago, and when my husband proposed i new I wanted her to be my photographer. I reached right out to her and no one else. It was her or no one in my opinion. Alayna is so easy to get along with and made my wedding day so easy. I absolutely love my photos! There are so many it's hard to chose my favorite. I cannot wait until our 1 year anniversary shoot.

    Alayna is the best. From the first time I met her I knew she would make me feel so comfortable and be able to snap some incredible pictures. From my engagement session to my wedding, everything was flawless. She is so personable, goofy, entertaining, and sweet and it was such a pleasure working with her. Thank you thank you!

    Alayna and her sister captured the most special day of our lives in such a magical way. She is not only professional in her demeanor, but professional in her work. She knew from our engagement pictures that my husband is a bit of a squinter so she used a shutter feature and not a single one of our pictures has him with his eyes closed! She also knew exactly which spots at the places we stopped for pictures would give us great lighting and compliment the wedding colors best. She was organized and had an online planning form for us to think about exactly what kind of shots we want from our day, and who would be in them! This made after church pictures incredibly efficient! Alayna was subtle enough in the background, but didn't miss a beat of my crazy family and documented such special memories!! We have the most amazing pictures for what we thought was an incredibly fair price. The best part about her was that we got her and her sister for the entire day! Many photographers were 8-10 hours only!

    Alayna is a dream to work with. From the moment I emailed her to the day of, she was exceedingly helpful – from driving out of state to take our engagement pictures to her blog posts, which helped prepare me for the little things I would have certainly otherwise forgot to remember on the wedding day. The wedding day, she was incredibly relaxed and easy-going – which sounds like an odd thing to compliment, but on a day where people can be high-strung, having a calm presence around is an excellent thing! Her wedding day forms that she has you fill out a few weeks before the wedding makes the formal pictures incredibly efficient. She knows what she is doing!

    I had no doubt that the wedding pictures would be beautiful and when I saw them, I happy cried. What I love about my pictures is that they look personal, intimate, and not overly-contrived at all. The pictures of myself and my husband look so natural and beautiful! I could not be happier with how they turned out. Alayna captured the love and joy I felt that day perfectly.

    I am so glad and grateful that I was able to work with Alayna and highly recommend her as wedding photographer.

    Goodness. Where do I start? Alayna is thee absolute BEST! Alayna shot a wedding my husband was in during the fall of 2015 and his friends couldn't speak higher of her. When it was our turn, we met with Alayna and a few other photographers in the area. We ultimately decided we wouldn't find anyone better than Alayna. Not to mention, we'd seen her work, had never heard anything but high praise, and she was within our budget (and as those planning a wedding know, this is key).

    Not only is Alayna professional, accommodating, talented, and timely, she's so thoughtful. She'd send me monthly emails to see if there's anything she could help with. Not to mention she sent us the most darling (pun intended) little "thank you" gift when we booked her.

    We recommended Alayna to friends of ours who are getting married this July and they've gone on to recommend her to others; yes, before their actual wedding day. She's really that good!

    We got married in April 2017 and it went off, relatively, without a hitch. And that's all thanks to Alayna and her assistant, and how they worked with our other vendors to assure everything went as planned. Truly, I couldn't have actually relaxed and enjoyed the day without her.

    Thanks for capturing our wedding so perfectly, Alayna. xx

    A wedding photographer who genuinely cares about you!

    Alayna is an amazing photographer! She has a bubbly personality that will make you feel comfortable in front of her camera. I usually do not enjoy getting photos of myself, but Alayna made me feel beautiful and confident. She provided my husband and I with enough direction to get awesome photos, but she also allowed us to be ourselves in the moment. Alayna captured our wedding day so perfectly and we love reliving our day through the photos.
    Booking was very easy and Alayna is very accommodating. She was very responsive to questions and communicated effectively in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, she wrangled our large family for photos like a pro. Alayna made us feel like she genuinely cared about us as a couple and it was clear to us that she was committed to making sure our day wen smoothly. We are so grateful we found her and HIGHLY recommend her for any of your photography needs!!

    Feeling regretful

    I don’t think Alayna and I have the same style, one of the main examples of this is she is more of a natural photographer, meaning she did not give direction during shooting or posing suggestions. I would have liked more suggestions. I think I should have booked an engagement shoot with her to test our vibes.

    On a separate note I feel that the services were under whelming. Out of 190 photos she only provided me with 3 including my mother. She also did not have any photos of our rings in detail. My biggest issue is the memories missed because she did not include the photos. I had asked for photos of the guests seating before the ceremony and when I addressed this with her she said that she had to focus on us during the ceremony and she could only focus on one thing at a time.

    Just not overwhelmingly happy with my wedding photos. When I went to address some issues she stated that she would have been able to get more photos if I had a second photographer, but my wedding was very intimate, only 28 guests and no wedding party, I don’t think a second photographer would have been necessary to get the shots we discussed prior to the day.
