    Alissa- what can I say!??! Not only is she a wedding photographer and a fabulous one...she is a wedding therapist!!! I was crazy stressed the 5 days prior to my wedding due to the forecast. Everything we had planned was outside and I was obsessed with locations we picked for pictures. She did all she could to ease my fears and everything worked out perfectly. She makes a checklist to ensure all pics you requested are taken. She double and triple checks with you before she leaves for the evening. She was on time and hysterical! Eased my husband and his nerves with having his pictures taken. After the wedding she is in touch with you promptly with proofs and my pics are AMAZING!!!! I cannot stop hanging them everywhere in my house. Wedding pictures are the ONE thing you get when the whole day is said and done, it is your memory of the flowers, your hair, how you felt even (yes she captures that too), so PICK Alissa, best money you will spend on your day!

    I know 5 out of 5 stars might seem unreasonable, but Alissa deserves all of them plus more! From the first time I spoke with her and my husband and I met with her, she was 110% prepared. We met with her at her home studio and she had taken the time to find out when the sunset was going to be on the day of our wedding so that she could take her famous night pictures. One of the main reasons I chose her was this one photo that I saw of hers over and over again of the bride & groom in front of the Fox Hill Inn just after the sunset with the lights on and I fell in love. She took that photo of my husband & I and I can't wait to order it as a big canvas print and hang it on my wall!
    On the day of the wedding, Alissa and her assistant Cherry became members of the family. Cherry helped my sister lace up my dress and fixed my hair when everyone else's hands were full. They were so happy to see me in my dress and kept complimenting our wedding party on how awesome they were. Alissa and Cherry took every photo that I or a friend/family member threw at them without a blink of an eye. Words cannot describe how amazing Alissa is. She has an eye for the perfect photo, every time. Not to mention that I had previews of my photos within 48 hours of my wedding, and the full blog post and photos shortly after. I would recommend Alissa to everyone, she is absolutely worth every penny!

    Alissa Alissa! Where do I start this review? I hired Alissa for my wedding over an year ago. At that time I have been looking at many photographers on the internet, met and spoke to many but and when I saw her work, I knew she is the one as I kept going to her blog over and over again. I fell in love with her beautiful, creative pictures. When I met her in person, I liked her work and her personality even better. She followed up with me on everything and was so patient when I didn't get back on time. Fast forward many months later, Alissa worked so hard on my wedding day. She was always on time and was so prompt in capturing all the moments, she would run, climb, roll on the floor to get that perfect picture for you. She has Incredible amounts of energy, I could never see her slowing down on my wedding day! Even my friends commented on prompt she is. I absolutely love her bubbly, friendly and energetic personality. She makes you feel at ease, is not in your way, never says "No" and is very realistic and candid on what can be achieved within that day. With that said, keep in mind that the amount of images and moments she will capture within your wedding day is far more than you can imagine and plan for. She is really nice, flexible, funny and so easy to work work with. Looking just at my wedding previews, I am so glad I chose her as my photographer. I cannot wait to see the rest of my wedding pictures and am looking forward to working with her again soon.

    I may cry as I write this, as I love Alissa that much. Alissa is incredibly, incredibly talented. On top of her talent, she is professional, caring, funny, sweet, and so patient. Of all my vendors, I worked with Alissa the longest, and I already miss her - that's how much I enjoy working with her (although, she's not done with me yet, as we have to eventually pick albums). I am a very organized (slightly type-A) person, and Alissa puts me to shame. Her organization skills are remarkable! I seriously felt like I didn't need a wedding planner, as Alissa's organization allowed me to plan my entire day around her schedule. I knew she was the one when my then finance, now husband, really enjoyed our engagement session - she put him at ease, and he doesn't love taking pictures (now he does :). On the day of our wedding, Alissa sent me the sweetest/most touching email with some "last minute suggestions," that I definitely incorporated into our wedding day. She worked beautifully with our families, rather rowdy wedding party, and all of our guests. She accommodated every single request with a smile. I loved the way she worked with our videographer, Tom (Vantage Point Films). Last but not least, after our engagement session and right after our wedding (within 24 hours), Alissa posts a "preview" on Facebook and her blog, and I just loved that touch - it means so much that she takes the time to publish pictures so soon thereafter. Alissa is remarkable - you must hire her as your photographer! Her talent, personality, and precision are unbeatable :)

    I moved to Connecticut about a year ago and shortly after became engaged. Alissa had been recommened by a family friend and although I was new to the process I could not have been happier. Because I am not familiar with this area, Alissa showed me popoular places for our session and after much discussion we decided on Wickham Park. But the weather did not agree with us! The October snow storm had postponed our shoot but Alissa assured me that everything would work out. She was absolutely right...although we decided on a park we actually had our shoot on a near by golf course and the scenery was exactly what we were looking for. The sun was out and the mood was playful and comfortable. Even my fiance had a great time! She was very professional and made the most out of the time we had. I think the best moment was receiving our pictures and seeing those details captured. Without Alissa, I really would not have known were to start and for that I am grateful. I am just sad that we are getting married in Florida and I won't be able to have her there!!!!

    Alissa is an INCREDIBLE photographer. Our engagement and wedding photos were truly spectacular. She was a pleasure to work with and made taking pictures fun.

    She is a bit on the expensive side but she gives you a disc of every photo she takes and is totally worth the extra cost.

    I would use her again in a heartbeat.

    Our wedding day took place on the day of a freak October snowstorm in Carmel, NY. While we were anticipating beautiful Autumn photos on Lake Mahopac, we took photos in what turned out to be blizzard conditions - yet Alissa managed to capture shots more beautiful than we could have ever imagined. Anyone wanting winter wonderland photos on their wedding day would be truly envious. Weather conditions were so poor that roads were being closed; but Alissa toughed it out above and beyond what would be expected of a true professional.

    We took "first look" photos before the wedding. Alissa somehow managed to calm our stresses during our photos and played a large part in turning what some could have considered a disaster into our perfect wedding.

    I could not recommend Alissa more highly. Our photos are beautiful, Alissa is a dedicated professional, and I cannot imagine having had anyone else photograph our wedding. I cannot thank Alissa enough.

    Alissa was wonderful throughout this process, from the engagement photos a year ahead of the wedding to the wedding photos. She was always positive, smiling and relaxed which helped everyone else relax. With me (the mother of the bride) out of state, I especially appreciated Alissa's quick responses to my inquiries as we got closer to the wedding date.
    I had a son get married in another state just 2 months after my daughter and there really was no comparison with the service and exceptional quality of the pictures that Alissa did for my daughter's wedding compared to the services and photographs (done by a very experienced professional in the area) for my son's wedding.

    Of all of the vendors I used for my wedding, I was probably the most happy with Alissa - she is an amazing photographer, and I couldn't be happier with the way all of my wedding pictures came out. In addition to being a great photographer, she's also very friendly and really great to work with. I planned my wedding from out of town, and she was extremely flexible as far as when she could meet and was always quick to respond to my emails, which was a huge help. On the day of the wedding, she was professional, gave great direction and was able to coordinate all of our family and wedding party pictures with amazing efficiency (which can be more of a challenge than one would think!) After the wedding, she was quick in getting the digital negatives processed and was more than patient when working with me on my album (which I also LOVE!) Overall, I would highly recommend Alissa to anyone looking for a great wedding photographer.

    I could write a small novel, but bottom line: Hire Alissa Dinneen Photography - you will be overwhelmed by what a good decision you made. Alissa and Cherry not only captured all the wonderful moments of our wedding, but also all the wonderful elements of the place where the wedding was held - which they knew was so special to us. They were easy going while providing instruction (if you aren't a model, their tips and tricks will make you look/feel like one!); they were all about exploring rocky, sandy, dusty yet totally gorgeous places - inspiring us with their creativity; they made us laugh, celebrated our happy tears, and felt like a part of the wedding... like friends. We know that over the years they will be the photographer to capture the special moments of our lives. 5 stars are not enough stars, really. They should get a whole sky full.

    I really can't say enough great things about Alissa. She's very professional and organized, providing timely responses to emails or phone calls. She was very easy to work with on our wedding day and made for a fun and stress-free experience. She went above and beyond to capture our day perfectly. It seemed to go by so fast, but the photos helped bring everything back. She's very talented and does amazing work, our pictures were stunning! Our friends and family are beyond impressed with our photos. We had such a fantastic experience working with her from engagement photos to our wedding day and now with help picking out an album. I would recommend her services to any bride without a doubt!

    Alissa-

    I just wanted to write a quick thank you email sharing with you how awesome I think the photos came out. Between your direction, professionalism, and creativity, I am thoroughly impressed.

    When we started the search for a photographer, we met with a few before you. Looking back at some of the work they have done, and what you just did for us, the difference is night and day. Not just the work itself but the entire way you handle your business from start to finish (website, blog, followthrough). Thank you for that.

    I look back at all the wedding expenses, and realize that it was a lot. While I would have loved to have save a few bucks on photography, in this case we definitely got what we paid for and I don't regret our decision one bit! Rest assured we will recommend your work any chance as get!!

    Thanks again, Jason & Jodi

    We planned our wedding in Connecticut from Virginia and we were so fortunate to have found Alissa Dinneen Photography. In addition to making the process so easy and being a joy to work with Alissa captured our wedding better than we imagined. When we saw the photos from our wedding we were speechless. The day went by so fast and when we look back at the photos all of the memories from the day come back. Every moment was captured so beautifully and the photos were taken in such an unobtrusive way. We were also impressed with the time and care that was spent on our album to make it absolutely perfect. Alissa truly has a gift and we could not have found a better photographer. I can't emphasize that enough!

    Absolutely amazing!!!!!! The two words that can be used to describe the quality of her pictures, patients and ability to address any situation that may arise. When we thought it was going to rain on our day Alissa immediately emailed me letting me know she already had umbrellas in our color scheme ready to go!! I also love the fact that Alissa made the picture taking process painless especially for our bridal party and family. Our bridal party couldn't believe how quickly it went by yet every picture she took was perfect. I highly recommend her and if you do choose her I also recommend the engagement photo session.

    I have never seen such beautiful, talented, amazing pictures. Alissa was so wonderful and so accomodating throughout our entire engagement and throughout the entire wedding :) Our wedding album is so amazing, and we have received so many compliments on all of her services. I highly recommend Alissa Dinneen photography everyone because I know she will provide such amazing work. She has such talent to capture the pictures at the perfect amount of sunlight, including at sunset! Thank you Alissa for a perfect wedding day!!

    My husband and I used Alissa for our winter wedding in 2009. We planned our wedding only a few months before being married and Alissa was able to accomodate all of our requests. Our wedding was the day after a modest snow fall and there wasn't much in the way of snow cover. Nevertheless, we took photos outside after the ceremony and despite the rather dismal conditions outside Alissa managed to make the photos beautiful. My husband and I are not the 'center of attention' types and often shy away from any picture requests. We knew we wouldn't be able to do that on our wedding day but Alissa made us so comfortable and really captured our personalities. She even managed to fulfill our request for family pictures which was a lofty task as between the two of us we had about 60 family members attend. I would recommend Alissa to any bride. She will make your day as special as you deserve it to be and the pictures will be amazing. We even call Alissa now when we want photos of our two beautiful sons. She's unbelievable.

    Alissa did such an amazing job with our pictures, she was truly an amazing photographer to work with. The day goes by so fast and to have someone be able to capture all of the amazing moments and details that we weren't able to see is truly invaluable. Our wedding album is a sheer wonder to everyone who sees it, Alissa put together a creative fairytale of our day it is spectacular. I would recommend her to anyone who wants a WOW moment when you see your amazing photos.

    I absolutely loved having Alissa as my wedding photographer. She was extremely flexible with when and where she would meet, which was great since my mom was in Georgia and my fiance in Massachusetts during our wedding planning. After our engagement photo shoot she asked for feedback about which photos, poses, etc. we liked or did not like, and she really listened to that feedback and incorporated it into our wedding pictures. Alissa also really made an effort to get great pictures of us; she actually pretended to trip comically a few times just to get big smiles out of us. We have had a hard time deciding which photos to have printed because there are so many great options! Alissa gives you digital copies of all of your photos; that alone would make her services a great bargain. I've seen other photographers charge up to $10 for a single 4x6" photo.
    We decided to order an album from Alissa after our wedding, and we are in the process of finalizing the layout. She has done a great job with incorporating specific pictures or types of pictures that we requested into the layout. I'm looking forward to finalizing then receiving my album!

    Alissa was wonderful to work with. Her photography is beautiful, and she managed to work with our sometimes unruly families in a way that made everyone happy. Having the digital photos has allowed us to use them in multiple ways that would not have been possible with a photographer who keeps the photos under lock and key. Her design of our wedding album was absolutely beautiful as well!
