    100% Recommend! Could not have made a better choice!

    For two introverts, Alyssa made us feel at ease and the photography process easy. We met with Alyssa on two separate days; two days prior to the wedding date, to get photos of the bride and groom, and then again on the day of the wedding. From the get go, Alyssa was easy to work with. She took time to listen to how we envisioned our day, and the shots that were important to us. She was very easy to talk to, communicated well, and was on time for both days of the photo shoots. I want to add that for the day of the wedding, Alyssa had a second shooter to help her out so nothing was missed. Ben, the second shooter was just as professional, and easy to get along with. We recently got a preview of a portion of the photographs, and we could not be more pleased with the final product. For two people who really do not like being the center of attention, Alyssa and Ben put us at ease. We would definitely recommend Alyssa to a friend or another family member, because she made the whole process a breeze. Thank you Alyssa! We look forward to seeing the final pictures!

    How do I even put into words how AMAZING working with Alyssa was

    Working with Alyssa (Life Like Ruby’s) was an absolute pleasure - she was responsive throughout the process, was so kind and made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and the finished photos are STUNNING. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience with a photographer, and I hope to keep in contact with her because she is just such a special person. I am beyond happy with the photos from our engagement shoot, our wedding day, and the overall service she provided. 15/10 stars :)

    Alyssa is a pro

    We loved working with Alyssa! She was so kind, warm, and thoughtful. We went with a traditional Korean wedding ceremony, instead of the typical American ceremony where the bride walks down the aisle in white, and she never once made us feel different or strange because of it, and in fact was clearly genuinely interested in it all, which I so appreciated. She was flexible and always responsive, and actually came out to the venue with me as she'd never shot there before. And she handled the crowd, and our respective families, very well. She never made us feel rushed, and went a long way to make us feel comfortable, natural, and like ourselves. She also managed to deliver some sneak peak photos unbelievably quickly, and I love so much how they've turned out that I am counting down the days till we receive the full gallery!! Lastly, I felt very comfortable talking with her about budget and pricing, and I never felt that she was trying to upsell me or pressure me into something that I didn't need, which we were both grateful for! We can’t recommend Alyssa enough :)

    Best wedding photographer of all time!

    Alyssa was truly the greatest wedding photographer we could have ever imagined. She went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable - she even made the trek from PA to NYC to do our engagement photos! One thing that was important to us was to not feel like our wedding photographer was in our faces during the big day and she was like a ninja! We love her photography style and couldn't be happier with the photos we received. Would highly highly recommend her to anyone looking for incredibly high quality photos that will last a lifetime. Work with her - you will not regret it!

    100% recommend for your wedding

    Alyssa was so responsive and helpful throughout the planning process, and having our engagement session with her totally put us at ease for our wedding! She made posing for photos feel so natural and fun. She put together a detailed timeline for our wedding day and guided us through the day seamlessly, and allowed us to add an extra hour to our timeline which we are so happy we were able to do. Not only is she so fun to work with, but her work is incredible. She took the vision that I (probably pretty poorly) articulated, and absolutely nailed it. She is so talented and I could rave about our experience working with her all day! I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!!

    Incredible experience

    Alyssa was fantastic, start to finish. She was nothing but warm, professional, and flexible. She worked with us extensively to make our ideas come to fruition and went above and beyond to make it happen. Her casual, organic style produced beautiful photographs, and we couldn't be happier we used her for our wedding and engagement shoot.

    Highly highly recommend!

    We had an incredible experience with Alyssa! From the moment we spoke on the phone, to the engagement photos when she made us feel so comfortable, to the wedding itself, she and her team were all around wonderful! She is responsive, professional, and fun to work with and we could not recommend her highly enough! We look forward to working with her again in the future!

    Made Magic from a Rainy Day

    Working with Alyssa was one of the best parts of the wedding planning and wedding day experience for us. She is personable and friendly and an incredible artist with a gifted eye. She made us feel completely at ease and was flexible and open to our ideas. She came to our home at sunrise to take photos of us on our deck where we got engaged for our engagement shoot. Her photographs capture the sweetest, silliest, and most heart felt moments and she made us look great to boot! During the planning process she was so organized and efficient and laid out a day-of schedule that helped keep us organized and helped us to understand what to expect. The day of our wedding during our outdoor ceremony it poured rain. We were initially sad about the weather, but Alyssa worked with it and the photos turned out dreamier than we could have hoped for. We are actually glad it rained and can’t picture it any other way now! If you’re looking for a photographer for your special occasion or a special moment, you would be crazy not to work with Alyssa. You will not be disappointed. We and our entire family are still gushing over the photos she took from the wedding and can’t stop looking at the ones we have so far (and we are only talking about the preview!)

    Would recommend to anyone!

    I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa. Not only were the pictures absolutely stunning and everything we hoped for, she was so incredibly kind, responsive and great to have around on the wedding day. As someone who is not comfortable in front of a camera, she made me feel at ease and truly felt like one of the girls that day. There were beautiful candids in addition to the more posed and traditional wedding photos. She definitely over delivers and you would not regret hiring her for your special day!

    Worth Every Penny!

    Alyssa came as a recommendation from a friend/co-worker and she did not disappoint! Over the 2 year planning process she was extremely helpful with designing our vision for our wedding photography. She is creative and very talented at her craft and loves her job which transfers over to her delivered product. She makes you feel like she has known you forever and really cares about making your day special. She captured so many special moments of our wedding day and we will forever be thankful! If I could give her a million stars I would! I cannot recommend her enough!

    You NEED her!

    Alyssa is wonderful! She was able to adjust my timeline and help with last minute details due to some changes in the ceremony needs. Every picture I’ve gotten so far is gorgeous and her sneak peak was so quick. Couldn’t pick anyone better!!

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
    Alyssa and Kyle were absolutely amazing. Their attention to detail and creativity lead to some truly awesome shots. We couldn’t have picked better photographers to capture our special day.

    Absolutely perfect!

    Alyssa was so amazing to work with! Her photos speak for themselves but she is also a wonderful person! She was so responsive and was flexible to our needs. She took the time to address any concerns we had and was so patient as we made decisions.

    Her photos are so beautiful, our preview gallery made me tear up multiple times. She totally understood our vision for the day and my husband and I are so happy to have beautiful photos of not just us but also of our parents. We are so excited to get our full gallery back.

    She was also so wonderful to have with us on such a big day. She felt like a friend, so friendly and enjoyable to be around. She was flexible and happy to run outside with us for a late picture we wanted to take with the moon.

    Basically Alyssa is wonderful! Some of our friends who are getting married next year have already asked for her info. Can’t recommend her enough!

    Best photographer!

    What a daunting task to pick the perfect photographer to document the most important day of your life! Well, I knew from the minute I had my first call with Alyssa that I had struck gold. Alyssa was so incredibly sweet, responsive, and organized - she kept us on track with our timeline the entire day and was such a trooper running around with us in the brutal August heat! All while magically transforming our little golf club venue into a tropical oasis. Alyssa’s style is exactly what I was looking for: natural portraits and fun candids. I’m forever grateful for the beautiful moments she captured that we’ll look back on in the many years to come. Look no further and make Alyssa your wedding photographer today!!

    Fantastic and Fun

    Alyssa has been fantastic to work with - she had helpful advice and was reassuring and positive during the planning process and throughout our wedding day. We live overseas and Alyssa was able to accommodate our 12-hour time difference by meeting with us on Zoom. On our wedding day, Alyssa and her second shooter, Caity, helped us achieve lots of fun, spontaneous shots on the boardwalk and accommodated our requests for family and friend group shots during the reception. Alyssa has a great eye and encouraged us to have fun and be ourselves throughout the day. She also shared our sneak peek just a few days after the wedding! The pictures are beautiful so far and the relaxed, playful atmosphere she helped create comes through in every photo. I would highly recommend hiring Alyssa!

    Dream Wedding Photographer!

    Working with Alyssa was a dream - and we can't recommend her enough!!! From our first interaction, to our engagement session/photos, to our wedding day, Alyssa was there every step of the way. She's so approachable, insanely sweet and down to earth, professional, talented, organized, and and overall pleasure to be around. I felt like she understood what was most important to us and really had our back. She captured our day in the way we always wanted and played such an integral part in actually helping us to enjoy the day (seriously did not want her to leave!!). Our album is absolutely stunning and we just can't get enough.. in both albums we received, it has been impossible to pick a favorite. (The best problem to have and one I personally have never had before! Which speaks volumes.) Her eye and editing style are second to none and we just feel so lucky to have had her as our photographer on our most important day.

    The Best Photographer EVER!

    If you are thinking of hiring Alyssa as your photographer, DO IT! She made us feel so comfortable from our first phone conference. We had an engagement shoot with her first and she was so flexible with finding a date that worked for us and our pictures came out AMAZING! She was so easy to communicate with and was open to anything we wanted to try. Her energy on the wedding day was so fun and she captured our day beautifully! We are OBSESSED with all of the photos we got from her. Could not have asked for a better photographer. 10000/10

    The best wedding planning decision I made

    Booking Alyssa as our wedding photographer was the easiest and best decision I made during the whole wedding planning process. I’m the type of person who needs to evaluate every option, but she was so easy to talk to during our initial call that I decided to book her right after. I was really anxious leading up to our engagement shoot because my partner and I are not photo people, but Alyssa made us feel so comfortable and told us how to pose while making it still feel and look natural. She made sure we hit all the locations I wanted to go to and our engagement photos came out so much better than we could have imagined. We received so many compliments, and I was confident that our wedding photos would be just as great. During the weeks leading up to the wedding, I was stressed about the timeline and indecisive on where to shoot. Alyssa listened to all of my concerns and assured me that she would worry about all of it so I wouldn’t have to. She even visited my venue and came up with 2 routes of nearby photo locations for me to pick from. Throughout this whole process, Alyssa has been super responsive to all my of questions and her excitement over our big day made me even more excited! You can tell she has a creative eye, is passionate about her photography and enjoys being with her couples. Shooting with Alyssa feels like taking photos with a close friend. We just received our sneak peek photos, and I cannot stop looking at them. I’m so excited to see our full gallery. If you are reading this, book her!

    Miraculously beautiful photography and thoughtful beyond belief

    Alyssa is THE BEST. Truly, truly incredible, and she was absolutely integral in making our overall wedding experience fantastic, both in the moment and in her radiant, spectacular photography. As one of the couples whose wedding plans were endlessly postponed due to the pandemic and were somewhat stressed out about if we'd made the right decision on the date/venue/everything (since we were already legally married last year but with less than 10 people attending), we were so lucky that Alyssa was the first non-wedding party member that either of us encountered on our day. Her vibrancy and kindness instantly relieved any and all stress for us both because her energy reminded us of what this day was intended to be - a celebration - and we couldn't be happier. Not only is her photography better than we EVER could have hoped for - ever - but she's incredibly intuitive of people's comfortability, whether they love being photographed or hate being photographed, without having to ask, and she is accommodating in a way that no one really notices because she's really good at it! And wow, I almost cannot describe how great her photography is without using excessive profanity - it's perfect. She has such a keen eye and knows how to find the right location within fifteen feet of where you're standing and the exact angle that will make for the timeless, immaculate pictures you will cherish forever. Trust me - Alyssa provides miraculously beautiful photography and is thoughtful beyond belief!!!

    Can’t come up with the right words

    I’ve started this review two/three times already and stop each time because my words don’t ever seem to give Alyssa enough justice. I’m not a words person so I’ll just start with a short and sweet, hire her. You won’t regret it. She’s the kindest, most genuine and fun loving person. No one else I’d rather have take my pictures on one of the biggest days of my life. She crushed every single part from engagement photos to the wedding photos. The bridal party loved her and so did we. Forever grateful to have had her shoot our wedding,

    Wonderful experience and stunning wedding photos

    Alyssa was friendly, sweat, caring, warm, creative, and easy to work with. From the first time I talked to Alyssa, I was sure that she was the one I would like to work with. She always responded to my emails and text messages fast. She showed her interests in learning about us and our love story, and this made the photos full of our characters. She helped me pick the color palettes for the fall wedding (I used it for my bouquet and the dresses code for my guests), and helped me find some good spots near the courthouse for the first look and the after ceremony photos. On the day, she even went earlier to find the best photo spots for us.
    Because of the pandemic, I only got to have a small courthouse wedding with some close friends. Although I only hired Alyssa for two hours, I was surprised for the amount and quality of photos that she provided me. The photos are so beautiful! I can't thank her enough! I highly recommend her to everyone!

    Absolutely Perfect!

    Working with Alyssa was an absolutely perfect experience from start to finish. She was SO responsive to all of my emails and calls and understood exactly what I wanted. She was punctual, flexible, funny, efficient, and so genuinely warm on the day of my wedding. For someone who hates being center of attention she made me feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. We got a preview album just days after the wedding and I can't stop scrolling through them!! The pictures are the perfect mix of candid and romantic that I wanted. She made a customer for life anytime I need photographs. Don't look any further for photographers. Thank you Alyssa for making my day so special and capturing memories I'll keep forever!

    Working with Alyssa was the best wedding planning decision!

    From the moment I first chatted with Alyssa 6 months before my wedding, I knew she would be perfect! Working with her was super easy - she is flexible, patient, and will not add one drop of stress to the wedding planning experience. The day of the wedding she and her colleague were super relaxed and friendly and put everyone right at ease during the getting ready photos. She got the final products back quickly, and they are gorgeous! She captured the exact style I was hoping for - classy, beautiful, and she didn't miss any of the special little moments. Planning a COVID wedding was stressful - but working with Alyssa was definitely not!! She will make the memories of your wedding beautiful!
