Alora Rachelle Photography

Alora photographed our small, intimate backyard wedding in August 2020 after several change of plans due to COVID-19. This is obviously very stressful for a bride but Alora was completely down for whatever changes we needed to make and added no additional stress whatsoever. She has a very calm, relaxed, go with the flow demeanor which is SO helpful on your wedding day. But most of all our wedding photos are absolutely amazing. Almost a year later and my husband and I still talk about how one of the best parts of our wedding is the beautiful photos we have to cherish. Thank you Alora!

The best thing we did for our wedding day was have Alora there to capture our special moments. Not only is her work amazing, but she is a sweet soul with a genuine compassion for others. We cannot express how grateful we are to have had Alora as a part of our day. We feel truly blessed. We also cannot get over how beautifully she captured our special day. Moments we would’ve never known had happened — just as we had originally discussed. We are over the moon over everything to do with Alora + our wedding photos!!

She did an amazing job taking stunning photographs for my brothers' wedding! Highly recommend, she is one of the BEST out there!!

Working with Alora was absolutely amazing! Not only were our pictures perfect, but we got SOOO many sneak peaks almost instantly after our wedding! I went into our wedding day without a real plan of where I wanted pictures, and she MADE IT HAPPEN. She is easy to communicate with, so talented, and really made us feel at ease both on our wedding day and during engagement pictures. I could not recommend her enough!!

Sorry for rambling, I just have so many wonderful things to say about Alora! I happened to stumble across Alora's Instagram, and instantly fell in love. After receiving 5+ declines from other photographers I requested, I was heartbroken... But Alora was a bright light in a dark hole, and I am SOOOO LUCKY the others didn't work out. This woman, is the BEST! She came through like a rockstar! She's easy to get along with, fun, cheerful, and down for whatever you want to do, while being professional. Alora had my back during the wedding process, and I can honestly say she was more like a friend than just a vendor looking to get paid. She HONESTLY cares about her clients, and went above and beyond to help me. When my florist fell through a month before my wedding, this girl got out her little black book of wedding vendors and got me in touch with an amazing Florist who was another God send. She teams up with the right people in the industry and strives to help make sure your wedding day is perfect. Alora, took beautiful engagement photos at our home, those included making cocktails, hanging with our pup, and cuddles on the couch. Followed by a quick drive up to a park and a tree lined street. We had so much fun with her. She made being photographed feel so natural. Her laugh is seriously contagious! <3 Fast forward to our wedding day and she was on top of everything, making sure the right people stuck around for the family photos, riding in the limo with us, getting those group shots come together, being in the right spot for all of the important moments... but what I LOVED the most were the unposed in the moment shots she got throughout the day. We look so natural, happy and in love. At the end of the night, she was still rolling with the punches because I forgot to mention to her how exactly our exit was going to go, and sure as heck this lady comes through and despite not knowing what to expect, captured amazing photos of us with smoke-bombs going off around us! If I have one piece of advice, it's to hire a photographer you can trust, and Alora is a photographer you can trust! The moments she will capture come to life when you look through all of the photos, and you'll get all of the same day feels all over again, each time you look through them.... And isn't that exactly what you want to feel when looking back on that special day? Hire Alora, you won't regret it! :)

From the moment that we met Alora we were sold. She completely embodies the energy that we want to have at our wedding: joyous and positive without taking yourself to seriously. She has been an absolute pleasure to work with and has been super accommodating to our schedule and work-style. Engagement shoots can be a very intimate experience, but can also sometimes feel awkward. Alora approached our photoshoot with professionalism and ease - helping us feel comfortable being ourselves and relaxing. We started off not knowing where to stand or where to look to ending the day forgetting about the cameras. Not only was the experience amazing, but the results have been beyond our expectations. After our engagement shoot, we not only feel comfortable with Alora, but we know that she will deliver nothing but perfection on our wedding day.

If you need an engagement, wedding, or elopement photographer, look no further! We had the pleasure of having Alora for our wedding and engagement photos. She was professional, helpful, and open to anything. She made us feel comfortable during our engagement photos and helped wrangle my insane bridal party during our wedding. The best part? HER PHOTOS ARE BEAUTIFUL! I cried when I first saw them. I highly recommend Alora for all your wedding needs!

If you want to feel like having your best friend capture one of the most special days of your life, hire Alora! Alora and her second shooter were so easy to work with and so chill throughout the busy-ness of the day. Having her by our side made the day feel 'easy' and fun. Looking at the sneak peaks we received it felt like I was scrolling through pinterest or instagram looking at my 'wedspiration' photos. She captured the true emotions we were feeling. Looking at them makes it feel like we just got married yesterday, these memories were captured so beautifully! Alora also worked so well with our other vendors and with our family and friends. Everybody still tells us how great she is and how cool she is. We cannot wait to see the rest of the photos. This day was perfect. And so was Alora! Having Alora capture this special day is a MUST!

Alora was absolutely amazing to work with! She has such great ideas to make photos unique and interesting. We just had our engagement session and she made the whole process so much fun! She posted a couple previews from our shoot and we are absolutely thrilled with how they came out! I would definitely reccomend hiring her for your wedding, I am so happy I did!

If you’re anything like me you have spent countless hours scowering every social media outlet to find the perfect photographer for your big day. If that’s where you currently are at in your wedding planning process, look no further, Alora is your girl! So far we’ve only had the opportunity to work with her for our engagement session but we can’t wait to spend the day with her during our December wedding!

Alora is wonderful to work with. She is so easy to get along with, very fast with responses to any and all questions you may have, she is funny and just all around lovely - imagine working with one of your best friends... that's her! We recently had our engagement photos done and my fiance and I were both pretty nervous, but within seconds we were laughing and having a great time. Our pictures turned out better than I could have hoped for too! I cannot wait for our wedding and I am so happy we will have Alora there with us! She is a blessing!

Alora his AHHMAZING. She is so kind, so fun, so down to earth and literally made my wedding day so special. Wedding days can be so stressful and she made it so much more relaxed for us. Alroa is an incredible photographer finding the perfect moments and shots that will leave you breathless and making everyone feel comfortable while doing it. I was thrilled to get our photos back and to have such a variety of shots and memories. Get this woman to make your day special. I’m telling you, you won’t regret it!

Alora was the highlight of our day!! She did such an amazing job capturing the special moments of the day in a very real, candid fashion! We can’t say enough good things about her warm personality and level of professionalism she brought to our wedding day! All of of guests keep raving about what an incredible job she did. So grateful for the moments she was able to capture that we will now get to treasure for a lifetime!!

I. Cannot. Say. Enough! Brides, look no further. Alora is the most down to earth, genuine, comfortable, photographer I have ever had the pleasure of shooting with. She made the process so easy and fun, on all shoots I hired her for, and she truly evolved into a friend by the end of the process. I cannot speak more highly of the work she does and the quality you receive from her! She books out quickly so BOOK NOW!

Alora—my goodness! She is absolutely incredible! She took my engagement photos and we had so much fun together! Let’s start with the location—my fiancé and I agreed to do a carnival theme, because we’re a young couple who enjoys a good time and loves to eat, so the carnival was everything perfect! I almost forgot we were having an engagement session, because Alora was so natural in her skill. I felt like I was on a date with my fiancé and we had this gorgeous woman taking our pictures for memories to cherish. When we got our pictures back, we were so pleased and she was so prompt in getting them to us swiftly. I’ve never heard my fiancé tell me he loved our pictures so much! But I was not surprised, because hello, Alora was our photographer!! If Alora is not your wedding/engagement photographer, then what are you doing? Seriously.

Working with Alora was an absolute pleasure. She was professional, timely and brought positivity to our elopement. She provided us with high quality images the same day (seriously!!!) and delivered the rest of the album within a few days. Alora exceeded all of our expectations and we would recommend her in a heartbeat.

BEST EVER! Where do I even begin? I was thrilled when I was able to book Alora because I knew that I was getting the absolute best, not only in quality of the photographer, but in the best quality of person. She made the whole day and experience so fun and I can not recommend her enough to brides! Your wedding day goes by so fast and there is just so much typically going on. Her natural friendliness mixed with her professionalism helped so very much in being able to relax and take in the day. She's authentically looking out for the bride. Do yourself a favor and book her!

Finding a wedding photographer was such a hard decision for me. I wanted timeless, romantic, authentic photos, that showed the raw and real love between my husband and I, and our little family. Photos we could pull out years from now to show our grand kids and still be amazed and relive all our memories! I stumbled across Alora while searching The Knot, then found her Instagram and was instantly blown away. I messaged her immediately, set up a coffee date to meet her, and it was love at first site! She's so down to earth and relatable in so many ways, it felt like she was just a good friend of mine. I have a 4 year old son who's always full of energy, and she was so great and patient with him too, which was really important to me. I was so in love when I got our engagement photos back, they were just so DREAMY. I'm constantly being asked who took our photos because they're just so beautiful. I can't wait to see our wedding photos! Alora, you truly are gifted with such talent and grace. I couldn't be happier that I chose you for our big day. I'll always be grateful for you capturing moments from one of the most important days in my life.

Alora has been absolutely incredible to work with! After we got engaged, choosing our photographer was the first and easiest decision we made, because I new from the start that it had to be Alora. I fell in love with her photography style on Instagram, and I couldn't be happier that she will be documenting our wedding for us. Neither my fiancé nor myself are very at home being the center of attention, but Alora made our engagement session so much fun that we were able to just relax and enjoy it. We got our engagement photos back today, and it's impossible to choose a favorite because every single one is perfect. We can't wait to see our wedding photos next year!

Alora has been amazing to work with. She has such an artistic eye and does a great job directing you and making you feel comfortable, but still welcomes your input and encourages you to do what feels natural. People always say to find wedding vendors that you could be friends with since you're stuck with them all day, and that's exactly what you get with Alora. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

Alora was amazing. Plain and simple. She made my wedding photography dreams come true. We couldn’t be happier with the quality or the content of our wedding photos. My husband and I had been together 7 years prior to getting engaged and married and were both the “What do I do with my hands?” type when it comes to posing for photos and she guided us gently in our engagement photos as well as on our wedding day and made us look like we knew what we were doing! It was such a pleasure working with her and I’m elated over my photos....and so is anyone who has seen them. There was a review a few before mine about “breaking the internet” it’s not a joke. All the wonderful things I could ever possibly say. Love her.

Alora is such a blessing! My husband and I had never taken professional photos, so this meant a lot for us. I honestly could not have chosen someone better than Alora. She definitely exceeded all of our expectations!! Alora made us feel comfortable and all of the sessions were so much fun. Alora's passion and love for photography was felt with every moment she helped us capture. Keep blessing us with your wonderful skills and talent!

Alora was amazing she rolled with punches and the lack of planning that was my tiny basically elopement. I contacted her 2 weeks before my wedding she had the day open and she said she would do it!! And She was quick to respond to all my emails She is relaxed and wonderful to work with. The photos she took are beautiful I am so happy that she was my photographer.

So far we have just had our engagement session with Alora & I cannot wait for her to capture our big day!! She is the sweetest and goes above and beyond to capture the special moments that love be brings! Before I was even engaged I know I wanted Alora to be our photographer. Her style is so classic and makes any picture look like it is from a magazine. These pictures are truly something I will cherish forever! I cannnot wait to see what she does on our wedding day! Xoxo

I am so glad Alora Rachelle took our wedding pictures. She made us so at ease the whole time, even when the rain came and changed our plans. for pictures. She quickly came up with a new game plan and I didn't have to worry about anything. She was so kind throughout the whole process, whether it be through email or in person, and I really appreciate that. The pictures I have received from her are gorgeous. She truly captured our happiness.

Alora is simply the best ever!! We hired her for engagement photos and our wedding day. She truly captures the moment in a way that I've never seen before. If you're into candid shots she's your photographer. Kinda funny but I have a photo of me holding a mimosa and it made the cut to the wedding album. She's a pleasure to work with and would recommend her to every bride. Hands down the best!! xoxo

There are several talented photographers in the area but Alora Rachelle is the absolute best. I found her IG page through a #hashtag search and was instantly in love. Her work is soft and romantic, yet bold enough to give professional, classic and editorial vibes. Each image tells a story and captures raw emotion. From our engagement shoot to the actual wedding day, Alora delivered and totally exceeded our expectations. On the other side, she is also very organized and was patient with me while finalizing day of details. I even had a moment of panic and requested to meet with her a few weeks before the big day and she totally eased my nerves. I completely loved her questionnaire form that has a space for slightly dysfunctional families like mine- asking for details on who can and cannot stand in pictures together. I am forever a fan to my newest local celebrity and cannot wait to hire her for all photo needs in the future. Thank you for capturing our special moments in the most perfect way!

To be a ARB was a dream come true! Alora is so personal and hilarious to work with! She made our favorite day come to life through her lens. My bridal party LOVED her. She made this part of my wedding planning a breeze. Our day was so thought out and worked with our ideas which was so cool! I could ( & do) sit and look through our wedding pictures and get the biggest smile ever. Thank you, Alora!!

Sitting here thinking about how amazing my wedding day was, I owe a huge thank you to my vendors for making it so perfect!! One of my most important vendors to choose was photographer, and I am so thankful I found Alora! She was just incredible to work with. I am so impressed with her talent and skills, she takes her work seriously but is so much fun to work with. Alora really went above and beyond on delivering us perfect photos. The engagement shoot we just really had a blast and the photos turned out even better than I expected. Leading up to our wedding day, Alora was on point with her organization, which I so appreciate! Alora stayed late on our wedding day to edit some sneak peek photos, which turned out BEAUTIFUL, she’s at the right place at the right time. I’m itching for the rest of the album! I wish I had another upcoming event for Alora to shoot!

Our wedding is this upcoming June. We took our engagement photos with Alora in September and received our photos back last week AND let me say, if you want to shut down the internet, Kim K style, book Alora! We posted a few of our favorite shots on Facebook and I couldn't keep my phone battery charged the day we posted. The likes, comments, and shares just kept rolling in and my fiancé and I couldn't help but smile the whole day! Alora is a magician with capturing light. The photos were romantic and interesting. There was the seamless mix of posed photos and candids. Both of our personalities came through perfectly. We just absolutely loved them and CANNOT wait to take more shots with her in June. We plan on working with her beyond our wedding , as other special moments in the future come up need to be captured. Not only is Alora a beyond talented photographer, she's sweet as pie. Your photographer spends almost your entire wedding day with you, so it was important to me that I not only like the photographs but that I also like the photographer. I'm looking forward to spending the day with Alora in June. She's kind, funny, and in general just a pleasure to be around. And lastly, if you are a Master of None fan like my fiancé and myself, her name is just plain awesome! ;)

Alora did both our engagement and wedding pictures and they turned out beautiful! Our wedding was very simplistic and outdoor themed, and she made sure to capture that in our wedding pictures. I still love looking at how they all turned out because she was able to capture not only the most important moments, but the small overlooked ones too.

This past month we had an awesome opportunity to work on a session with Alora! She is absolutely amazing when it comes to her style, attitude & way she works. We had a blast working with her and she kept the mood super fun and enjoyable! The aesthetic to her photos is so real and raw. Couple sessions I feel should have that quality and she hits the mark entirely. We are beyond excited to do more with Alora! Thank you again for legit rocking it out with our session girl!

Alora was great! We did an anniversary shoot with her. She was so fun and positive, we had such a great time during our shoot. My husband was nervous beforehand but she put us at ease and we had SO much fun. I wanted the shoot to go on forever. And of course the pictures were amazing!! Her prices were fair and the pictures were jaw-dropping. Thanks Alora!

We had the pleasure of having Alora fly out and shoot our wedding at the beautiful Pointe Dume beach in Malibu California . Although they say it never rains in Southern California that's not the truth. It rained pretty much all day but Alora did not let that ruin anything. She did an absolute amazing job and actually saved the day with her photography!. We would definitely recommend Alora Rachelle Photography to anyone, we love her!

Having Alora was one of my best decisions for the Wedding day success! Sassy, classy, and so much fun! She is incredible at capturing what YOU (the bride) want, and bringing her style and awesome ideas to match up with that. I didn't have to worry, but placed complete confidence in her skill and experience. I was not disappointed, in fact, she delightfully exceeded my expectations.

I cannot say enough good things about Alora and her wonderful photography skills! We are so in love with our engagement pictures and we cannot wait for our wedding 5/27/17! Alora is very professional but so fun to work with. Makes you feel super comfortable, like your best friend is taking your pictures. I have received continued compliments on our engagement pictures. I recommend her to everyone! Thank you Alora!

First, read all of the amazing comments here...then, go to her website! By now, you should be blown away! Alora is, by far, one of the best photographers we've seen. She traveled to our location in Georgia, from Michigan, and she was professional from start to finish. She was practically invisible and very discrete. Her patience gets her just the right shot! Our pictures have been an ongoing topic of discussion since our April 2016 wedding! We have never seen such beautiful pictures! Thank you Alora!!!!

Alora is more than just amazing, she is a visionary with heart, soul, and passion. She somehow takes these abilities and pours them into each image she captures. She has crafted the art of photography to highlight the importance of a moment, not just the aesthetics surrounding it. Alora gets those in-between shots that you forgot had ever happened and they make you laugh, or sob, as you scroll through the film! I've never felt more at ease, and yet so stinking excited to have my picture taken. When you are confident in your photographer it shows in your pictures. You're happier, you're at ease, and you have one less thing to worry about which is a tremendous gift on a day as busy as your wedding! She captures each image with precision and care. They don't look "obligatory," they look happy and rich with love. These are the kinds of photos you want your grandchildren to see. They show you laughing and surrounded by the people most valuable to you and they are edited with such care that you're more than delighted to have them in your possession, you just can't wait to show them off! When I say she has changed the way that I look at photography, I mean it. I can't help but refer her to my friends and family because she really is that GOOD. I want other people to be able to experience her charm and craftsmanship like I was able to because it really is such a gift. Thank you, Queen, for being absolutely wonderful at your job and making my day not only a fond memory, but a treasure to relive with each and every picture.

Alora is such a pleasure to work with! We are so pleased with how our pictures turned out! Everyone that has seen our beautiful pictures cannot stop raving about how great of a job Alora did! Alora is also such a fun, creative, and caring person! This made it very easy to feel comfortable on a very important day! We are so blessed we had Alora as our photographer and we cannot wait to use her again!!!

Alora is amazing! I got married in June 2014 and my pictures turned out beautiful. I would recommend her to everyone! She made taking pictures fun:) Cant wait to use her again

I am truly thankful for Alora and her wonderful skills! She not only took amazing pictures, but she her turnaround time was astounding! She made everyone very comfortable, many times I didn't even realize she was there! I would recommend her to anyone that wants breathtaking pictures and quick turnaround time. You won't be sorry!

Alora was simply the best! She took my ideas and thoughts and incorporated them into our photos for our special day. She was so personable and had amazing assistants along with her. She caught so many moments throughout the reception and ceremony that I am so thankful to look back on. I have the most amazing wedding wall in our hallway! I highly recommend Alora. She is a hard worker and has so many great ideas for your special day!

Words can not express how thankful I am for Alora! It POURED on my wedding day, yet Alora was able to take absolutely breathtaking photos. She went above and beyond to get the perfect shot! I will definitely be using her for any future photography needs and I have already recommended her to many close friends and family to do the same!

Alora was truly a calming force on the day of my wedding! Her aesthetic is amazing and she knew exactly the look I wanted for this day. She is willing to go the extra mile to get the shots and was in constant communication with me (the bride). Our families were impressed by her professionalism and courteousness. She is extremely patient, which is a key component often overlooked of a good photographer. She is decisive and innovative with her shots and I am very pleased with both my wedding and engagement photos. In fact, I used my engagement photos as decoration for my wedding. July 11, 2015 was an exciting day that she captured for us forever.

I love this photographer. The pictures were everything I wanted and more. Her style is more photojournalistic but we definitely got some traditional pictures too. She was very professional and discrete. There were some pictures that I didnt even realize she took until I saw the pictures. The price is unbeatable and you get the rights to your pictures. I HIGHLY recommend you use Alora Rachelle photography!
