  Phenomenal!

  We were married in Pacific City, OR. Ali was incredible to work with and made the whole experience very comfortable. She was open to all of our ideas, but also gave us a direction when we asked for her guidance. We traveled to several locations to make sure we got unique and gorgeous photographs. Even though we only have a dozen or so "sneak peek" photographs right now (which we got after 48 hours), they are absolutely phenomenal. We cannot wait to see the rest in a few weeks!

  Engagement Photos

  Ali truly made this experience perfect and she exceeded all expectations while doing so. As private people Ali was not only able to made us feel completely as at easy during the photos but also was able to share the natural love we cherish through out her art. Ali made it her priority to get to know us and understand what made our love so special. We are so grateful for her work.

  Perfection!

  Ali totally exceeded our expectations! Our experience with Ali was very personal. She went the extra mile to get to know us as a couple, helped us pick out a beautiful location, and even checked out my Pinterest board to understand the vibe we were going for. Her editing is gorgeous and we are so happy with the way our engagement photos turned out!

  Ali is the Best!

  Ali was such a fun photographer to work with! My husband and I had planned to visit the North Cascades National Park on our honeymoon and Ali was not only willing to make the trek out to Washington, but since she had been there before she was able to give us valuable insight as to where we could shoot! We had a phone call ahead of time with Ali which helped us get to know her better (and therefore get more comfortable) and also to help us know what to expect. It ended up raining our whole shoot, but Ali had such a great attitude about it and if anything made the shoot more fun! She hyped up our newfound marriage and got us looking extra cozy for pictures. She also adventured out towards the river with us as we both literally sank in what I can only describe as quicksand! Such a trooper. I'm literally obsessed with all our photos and her editing style matched the landscape so perfectly. I would shoot with her again in a heartbeat! Book Ali and you won't be disappointed.

  Everything we hoped for and more!

  We are so happy we chose Ali for our engagement photos! She caught all the right candid moments, posed us a little but mostly just let us have fun with each other which was awesome. We were nervous because we are usually behind the camera with our videos, but Ali made us laugh and feel so comfortable. She also let us sneak in our little girl for some, and even took some single photos of her which we are SO great full for. As for the photos themselves, they are everything we hoped for and more! She does such beautiful work, and we will be recommending her to all of our friends and family.

  So many beautiful photographs you took of our day. We have had the hardest time picking out favorites!

  Ali you are truly an artist, you captured our elopement perfectly. You highlighted more than what we were hoping for in all the photos; our love, family, and the beautiful Oregon coast. We so appreciate your energy and going with the flow of the day. We can’t thank you enough for the photos and are so grateful to have these special memories captured for years to come.

  Super Pro and Laid Back

  Ali was wonderful to work with! Our wedding was postponed due to covid and she was super flexible with our changed plans. Her photos are beautiful and it was really important to us to have someone match the laid back energy of the wedding but still be super pro and she nailed it! Both my husband and I hate having our picture taken and she made us feel super comfortable and got so many beautiful shot! We will definitely use Ali again!

  High Recommend!

  After seeing some of her work I knew she was going to be the photographer to capture my best moments. She was so much fun to work with and knew the right camera angles, poses and location to take the shots. She has quick turn around rate with complete accuracy. I was taken back because I can be very particularly about my photos. I immediatley uploaded the pictures to my website. High recommend!

  Intimate backyard wedding made magical

  Ali is great and here is why! Our wedding (August 1, 2020) underwent some pretty big changes due to Covid-19: we’d planned on a wedding in a chapel with over 100 people, and ended up getting married with about 10 guests in my parents’ backyard, but partly thanks to Ali, it was no less magical. We also had an engagement session back in March with her on the Oregon coast, and we (and more impressively, my family) were all won over by the photos she captured of us. During the wedding day, she did a great job following the timeline we had talked about, and helping us follow it as well. She even found a place in my parents’ house that I had overlooked that turned out to be a great backdrop for photos. As a bride I felt calmed, rather than stressed by her presence. We got the photos back and they are stunning; everyone was very impressed and even surprised, somehow, that everyone was so “photogenic.” It was a wonderful way to share the experience with those who could not be there, and as a memento for us. I highly recommend hiring Ali for your next photo-worthy event!

  It was so easy and we didn't really know she was getting all these great photos. It was just like magic. It was fantastic.

  
  Ali, we can't thank you enough for how easy you made everything. You were able to create images of us that we didn't think were possible. We love all of the photos, they really captured our special moments. You are a jewel beyond price.

  Excellent!!

  Where do I start? Ali is amazing for so many reasons. I feel honored I get to work with her so often since we live so close. First, Ali is prompt when scheduling shoots which is so refreshing. She is attentive when I tell her what I’m looking for in our photos and has a true desire to make us happy. When my husband and I decided to do a five year anniversary shoot in all our wedding get-up, she jumped at the chance to take the photos. After deciding on a location, we drove the hour out to the Columbia River Gorge near Portland, Oregon together and chatted about what kind of photos we were both hoping to get. It ended up being a dry, clear day but freezing! You would have never known how cold it was from Ali though; she was all smiles the whole time. She really made us feel beautiful while laughing with us and cracking jokes. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and constantly reminded us how stunning we looked. It was an incredible day together where Ian and I got to remember how in love we are. Getting the photos back was breath taking. Ali captured the views of the gorge we were hoping for and got some great moments of Ian and I close up. I love the photos and will cherish them forever.

  Mediocre photos, poor business ethic

  This photographer misquoted me a price and only gave me 24 hours to sign her contract and send deposit after giving me the correct price before she gave my date to someone else. When we had to postpone our wedding a year due to COVID, she was rude and not understanding. She said she would move our date, if we paid a 52% price increase. I told her we couldn't afford this, and she refused to refund our deposit. DO NOT USE THIS PHOTOGRAPHER!
