Everything we hoped a photographer would be

Alyson has a special talent for vividly capturing human emotion with honesty and beauty. In Alyson’s photos of our wedding it is so easy to see joy and personality shining through in the faces of our family and friends as they come together in celebration and love, and that is a priceless gift.

Alyson was always where she needed to be to get the right shot, like magic, which I think inspired our videographer to do his best shooting as well. Initially my husband was self-conscious about posing for photos, but Alyson was able to put him at ease and get flattering, gorgeous posed photos too.

Not only was Alyson’s presence comfortable and unobtrusive, but she was kind, professional, and conscientious about honoring the type of people we are, the celebration we wanted to have, and the way we wanted it documented. She was communicative, easy to work with, accommodating, and when our family was scrambling with some last-minute decorations, she even helped set up! Overall a wonderful addition to our wedding day.

We couldn’t be happier that we chose Alyson as our wedding photographer and recommend her without hesitation.
