WOW!! Where do I even begin…..Talented, Brilliant, Creative doesn’t even scratch the service. Aly is so much more than just your average photographer, and above all things, she is ...
an amazing and humbling person.
I first discovered Aly through Instagram when I was searching for a photographer for my wedding, and we quickly connected thereafter. I not only fell in love with Aly’s amazing photography skills but I loved watching her instagram stories, which showed more of her personality. Her energy is contagious, her professionalism is unmatched, and she is simply an incredible person. She makes you feel like a friend and not just a client!!!! Aly did my Bridal portraits and absolutely killed it and made the overall experience feel so special and enjoyable. She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and told me exactly where to place my hands and flowers. I was in absolute shock when I got the photos back because they were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She truly knows how to make your vision come to life and capture you in a way you never thought was possible. Very recently I worked with Aly again doing a photoshoot for my pregnancy announcement and general reveal photos. She captured every little detail so perfectly and I cried when I saw the photos!!!!!!!!!
I cannot recommend Aly enough!!!! She is my go to photographer for everything now! If I have any excuse to do a photoshoot, I’m calling Aly!!!! I am already looking forward to working with her again!
Skillfully mastered at her craft and simply an incredible person. Aly is so communicative, guides you through every step, every pose every moment to capture those little details th...
at take a photograph to personal levels you just don’t see every day. I was given a list of preferred photographers from my wedding planner, Maria at Barr Event Co and checked out each photog’s Instagram. The thing that stood out to me about Aly is that each wedding was different, there were different poses and lighting styles but each one was so complimentary and intimate to the subjects. Aly doesn’t go by just one set of rules, she has perfected her craft in a way that showcases each event and couple at their best. Aly is so encouraging, understanding and has the ability to give you confidence in front of the camera from the first shot to the last. Her energy is contagious, her professionalism is unmatched and I could not imagine a more perfect match for us than Aly. We have been on the edge of our seats for the final photos and look forward to printing the ever living you know what out of them all just as we’ve done with the engagement session.
Thank you, Aly, for being you.
Aly was one of the first vendors I booked for my wedding, because she was recommended to me, and I am so thankful to have had her throughout our whole wedding photography experienc...
e! Not only are her pictures absolutely beautiful, she is the most reliable and trustworthy vendor/person ever! She delivers her gallery’s fast and you can see the heart and hard work she puts into them. My bridal portraits were literally given to me the day of our session! Not only does she give you a timeline of when you will receive your gallery’s, all of those timelines were met faster than the original date she gave. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable during our engagement session, and she was such an asset on our wedding day. She kept things running smoothly and made sure the timeline was followed exactly. Not to mention she did an amazing job corralling my massive family and made the family portraits so quick and easy, we didn’t feel like we missed any part of our day. She is so good at capturing authentic pictures that aren’t forced or staged, especially during the reception. I am so in love with every photograph I have captured by Aly! I could go on and on about how amazing Aly is, but if you want a photographer you can trust and you know will deliver an amazing gallery, and deliver it timely, she is your girl!
My fiancé and I just worked with Aly for our engagement session. She is an artist. Her genuine heart shines as she snaps away and her sincere sense of humor melts away any nervous...
feelings you may have. Aside from marrying the love of my life, Aly is the best decision I've made in the wedding planning process. Her dedication to her craft and clients truly cannot be matched. She gave us a sneak peek before we left the shoot and we received our engagement session gallery before we got our clothes back from the dry cleaners! These photographs are a gift that I can't wait to hang in our home forever. Make the investment. You won't regret it.
10/10 would book a million times over. Words cannot describe how much Aly contributed to the success our day. From the second you book with Aly, she is thinking about what SHE can ...
do to make YOUR day the best it can possibly be. She is always available for questions & suggestions throughout wedding planning, & was a HUGE lifesaver when it came to timeline and delivery. My now husband & I were able to have a stress-free engagement & wedding knowing that Aly was our photographer. Some highlights from working with Aly include her quickly learning our bridal party member’s names, her running through the quickest and most seamless family portrait session, & knowing that she was right behind us every step of the process from the start.
Aly was single handedly the greatest vendor I booked for our wedding day, yeah I said it. She blurred the line of wedding coordinator for a hot minute but dang was she prepared for...
literally everything. We did our engagement session, bridals, and of course wedding day with Aly.
We truly got to know any over the course of a year leading up to our wedding day and she truly is such a special person. She takes great care and pride in her work and in her clients. We were introduced to Aly by not one but two friends who booked her for their wedding. So I thankfully had a lot of first hand knowledge of this super fun loving person rather than just seeing her amazing work.
Aly is so chill and organized that her energy just rubs off on you the day of. She is not afraid to take charge and make sure things go how you envisioned them at YOUR wedding. She will stay in contact with you prior to the wedding to make sure y’all are on the same page with everything day of. I didn’t realize how much the questionnaires made day of go so much smoother. It also made me realize things I had not done yet for the wedding lol. When we got our gallery back I was not only super hyped that it was so organized but that it was linked to all our previous sessions with Aly. It was also so easy to share with friends and family so that was a plus as well.
Do you want someone who will be your biggest hype man, have a solution for pretty much any problem, and teach you how to not be awkward all while taking amazing photos? Then Aly is your girl!!
What can I say about aly,
After our first conversation( which lasted three hours btw!) I felt completely at ease with her being my photographer and know I had found “the one.” Havi...
ng a connection with my photographer was super important to me and my now husband as we knew we really wanted the photos to translate who we are as a couple. Other than her being an incredibly talented photographer I feel like a gained a friend! I know that sounds cheesy but she really invested herself into our love story! She was so easy to work with and even helped me with things not related to her job at all. She helped me with a lot of other aspects of the wedding and went about and beyond in all aspects even when I just needed someone to talk to! I could go on and on and on but just schedule a consultation call and I promise you will fall in love! I am so grateful for Aly and her team. She has taken photos of me on three occasions now and I already want to get in front of the camera again! Makes you feel at ease and so beautiful.
Aly was amazing! From planning the big day with her to the the actual day itself, she made everything so easy (especially with all of the COVID craziness)! On our wedding day she m...
ade us and our guests feel so comfortable. We are in LOVE with our photos and are so grateful for her services on our big day.
Aly was the first big decision I made for my wedding...and I am so thankful that was the case! I don't know how my wedding would've panned out if I hadn't decided so early on that ...
she needed to be a part of the day. She became a helpful consultant and a true partner in bringing my event to life. She stuck with me through three different versions of my wedding (thanks for the cancellations, covid!) and then became the BEST resource when my now husband and I decided we wanted to throw an intimate surprise wedding totally from scratch in four weeks. I cannot stress enough how this wouldn't have been possible without Aly - she was my life raft through it all. Aly is so much more than a photographer - she was by my side during some of my best moments in 2020 and documented them all so well.
If you're considering hiring Aly - stop thinking and just do it. She is the best decision you can make for yourself and your wedding. She is insanely talented, she is a pro at herding family members through photos quickly, and she is just bubbly and makes you feel comfortable in front of the camera. Her work speaks for itself in its sheer beauty, but even more than that...you will want her around.
We are so thankful we hired Aly! I used Instagram so much to find my micro-wedding vendors and when I came across her profile I knew she would be able to capture the essence of our...
day. We planned our intimate wedding in under 60 days and I knew photography was the one thing I did not want to cut corners on. I was so relieved when she was available for my date, it was a happiness I cannot begin to describe. She was punctual, professional, so kind and sweet! I felt so calm on my wedding day because I knew she was going to capture it so perfectly. Wrangling in our large family was not easy and she did it with no hesitation and got it done! I love looking back at my images and reliving the moments. Thank you so much, Aly! I look forward to following your journey.
I don’t know where to start. I couldn’t even imagine the planning process nonetheless my wedding day without Aly a part of it. Aly is a true gem! She can get down on the dance floo...
r, handle massive family pictures (I’m telling you she got 50+ people to all come together to make my dream come true), and bustle a wedding dress with the best of them. Oh and did I mention her work behind the camera!? Absolutely BREATHTAKING!! I have never felt more beautiful or confident than I did when Aly took my engagements, bridals and wedding photos...let me tell you this girl is a HYPE WOMAN! She makes you feel so comfortable and at ease through out the entire process. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer to capture the best day of my life! And with Aly you not only get a kick butt wedding photographer but a new gal pal for life! Thank you for everything, Aly!
Aly did our engagement pictures and our wedding and WOW WHAT A BLESSING!! First, the engagement session was so fun and it's the best to get to know her sweet heart. She is always u...
p for anything, and always wants to make sure you get what you want. The wedding...words can't describe how amazing she was!! She wrote out our timeline, was laid back when we weren't on time, kept everything running smoothly and most of all took absolutely amazing pictures. Y'all, you want her!!! Not only was she an amazing photographer, but also became such a sweet friend. We love you Aly!!! Xoxo The Ducoffs
Aly did a bridal session for me and she is incredible! She was very timely and professional with the spunkiest- fun personality that made being photographed so much easier than I t...
hought it would be. Whenever I was thinking "what the heck do I do with my hands?!" Aly would graciously guide me in posing and it helped so much! Her turn around time with delivering my photo gallery was super fast and I loved every single photo in my gallery. I would highly recommend Aly Hester Photography
