Wedding Photography at Iris Aisle

by Alyssa Leicht

Photographer of love and people and moments in time.

Alyssa Leicht is an internationally published wedding and couples photographer with over 15 years of experience and a documentary-meets-editorial approach to wedding days. Her priority is to document your wedding day as it actually unfolds, in a non-intrusive way, to make sure you get to spend it with your people instead of turning it into an all-day production of staged moments.

Iris Aisle is one of her favorite venues in Iowa. Owned and built by her friends Raelyn and Earl Ramey, Alyssa has watched this magical place grow from a dream into what it is today, and has been photographing weddings and sessions there since it opened in 2021. She knows the property, the light, and all the best photo spots inside and out.

“Alyssa made ART out of our wedding photos”

I didn't want our photos to look like every other wedding out there. Alyssa made ART out of our wedding photos and gave us a unique and wonderful experience from our consultation to our wedding day.

She makes you and your partner feel so comfortable in front of the camera. She was the only one photographing our day, but still somehow managed to capture every special person and moment throughout our wedding.

If you're on the hunt for a photographer who will provide you with an awesome experience and photos you'll treasure forever, she's your girl. 🖤

Alyssa was amazing to work with for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. She has an amazing eye for shots, great attention to detail, and was always pleasant and professional.

– Garrett P.

It was so special to work with someone as kind and talented as Alyssa. She brought a beautiful, genuine, unique quality to all of the engagement and wedding day pictures she took of us and our guests. We couldn't be happier that we chose Alyssa to document our special day. Thanks so much Alyssa for pictures we will cherish for a lifetime!

– Kelsey S.

Alyssa was everything we could’ve hoped for and more! She made us feel at ease with her great vibes, which helped us relax and get the best photos of both me and my husband that I’ve ever seen. She helped answer all of our questions, provided way more emotional support than I ever could’ve expected day of and delivered photos quickly. I knew finding a photographer who we felt comfortable with was so important because you spend so much time with your photographer on your wedding day. Alyssa was exactly who we needed - not only made us feel comfortable but the photos were truly incredible. She worked great with our guests and can pivot like nobody’s business if needed. Payment, the photo gallery and ordering prints has been super simple as well. She’s a true professional. Most of all, she provides a warm, welcoming, safe and inclusive space for her clients to be themselves. If you’re considering booking Alyssa, DO IT. I would book her a thousand times over without hesitation.

– Rachel H.

Alyssa is an AMAZING photographer. We had a very non-traditional wedding and she was so helpful in making our wedding pictures be exactly what we wanted. We have 2 wild Boston Terriers and she was able to capture them perfectly. Her laid back personality definitely helped us feel comfortable and make everything stress free.

– Angel O.

Alyssa, you have completely amazed us with your phenomenal work!! Jessica and I are beyond in love with your work and are so happy we chose you to document the happiest day of our lives. You were awesome to work with and we really are so grateful for you. Thanks!!

– Josh H.

Alyssa went above and beyond for us. We came to her with a unique situation - a cocktail party celebration weeks after a private ceremony. We didn’t have the regular wedding formula to follow and only knew how to describe what we DIDN’T want rather than what we were looking for (dream client right?!) Alyssa pieced together our rambling conversations and delivered us exactly what we were wanting (better in fact) that we could never explain just right. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed and like an old friend was there celebrating with us. We can not recommend her enough!

– Maggie O.

Alyssa was super chill and just the person to be around on our special day. Her photos are unique and fun, not to mention stunning and able to capture one's personality. I fully recommend her as a wedding photographer and human being.

– Irene D.

Alyssa flew all the way out to San Diego to shoot our wedding. She did such an amazing job and was so fun to work with. Not to mention her professionalism. She handled everything she needed to without having to ask me a million questions the day of our wedding. You never realize how important that is till the day of! A photographer is a MUST for a wedding, why not make it a good one and invest?! Seriously, we loved our photos and we’ll cherish them forever! Amazing!!
