As Seen in People Magazine

I'm honored to have my work featured in People magazine a true milestone in my journey as a wedding photographer. The feature highlighted one of the most heartfelt weddings I’ve ever captured, and it’s a testament to the kind of love stories I strive to tell through my lens. Being recognized by such an iconic publication reinforces my commitment to creating timeless, authentic imagery that resonates far beyond the wedding day.

We had an AMAZING experience with Alissa. She is truly the sweetest person! From the moment the shoot started, she made everything feel so fun and natural. She gave just the right amount of direction so we always knew what to do, without it ever feeling stiff or forced. She truly has a gift for capturing people as they are—every photo feels like us. We’re beyond happy with how everything turned out and can’t recommend her enough!

Alissa is amazing!! We pulled off a surprise Valentines party/wedding February 10th 2024 and she was a HUGE part of making it happen. It was the absolute best day and also quite chaotic; with a last minute location change and a shifting timeline the day of, she rolled with it all and was a great joy to work with!! She went above and beyond to even help me find some specific wedding plates in her town as I had already sifted through every store in mine. Photos were absolutely stunning and just overall a 11/10 experience 🤍

Alissa made my experience so real, raw, and fun. Her work is absolutely perfection. Not only are the pictures amazing, but she makes you feel amazing when shooting! I can’t recommend her enough! 🤍

We hired Alissa for our wedding in November 2025 and did our engagement session with her at the beginning of September. Alissa was absolutely incredible and we cannot wait to have her shoot our special day. As someone who can be slightly awkward in front of the camera, she made us feel so comfortable. The whole process was easy and so much fun!
