Want me to document your wedding or elopement?

A woman in a white dress and a man in a suit lying on a bed, gazing at each other. There is a large bouquet of pink roses on the bed. The background shows a bedroom with a purple headboard, a nightstand with a lamp, and a wallpaper with floral patterns.

I’d love to meet you and hear about your plans.

I take a limited number of weddings and elopements each year to best serve my couples (usually fewer than 10). Most clients book with me 6-12 months in advance, with a maximum of 18 months, but last-minute bookings are always welcome.

Detailed pricing and options are shared after you inquire and tell me more about your celebration. Every wedding is different, and coverage is customized around your plans, locations, and events.

I’m looking forward to connecting! Fill out my contact form and I’ll get back to you in a couple of days to set up a call!

“Alyssa is one of the most talented photographers in DSM and such a sweet person!

At all stages of the process Alyssa was there to answer questions, provide recommendations, and help make sure our special day was perfect. She did an amazing job capturing our special day (and dealing with our two pups) and we are so very thankful we found her!

Book her now—you definitely won’t regret it!”
