If I could give Alyssa Bain Photography 10 stars, I would! While our wedding photographs were absolutely gorgeous, the total experience Alyssa provided, from start to finish, far e...xceeded expectations. Alyssa was communicative, and tailored the experience to make my vision better than I could imagine! Our wedding was held at a generous relative’s house in Paradise Valley- with Camelback Mountain and Mummy Mountain as the backdrop. Two days before the nuptials, the neighbors decided to bulldoze their yard, and put up an ugly fence right behind where we were to say “I do!” Me and my husband pondered moving the entire 160 guests to another location on the property- but we were worried the direct and intense Arizona sun would make for an uncomfortable experience for us and our guests. Alyssa surveyed the yard, and assured us that she would be able to photoshop out the construction, so that we could use our original desired spot! She is a problem solver! Coincidentally, this area had the best lighting…Alyssa knew this because she swung by at the exact time of the ceremony (but in advance) so she could map out all of the shots.
One thing that was important to me and my husband, was that we could spend time with our guests during the cocktail hour. Alyssa’s time management was on point, she managed to get in all of the shots that were important for us to have captured in record time, so we could spend time with our guests. Alyssa is a master of capturing the staged family photos that you want when you get married, but also the fun/candid pics of the guests dancing, smiling, and having a blast.
Friends and family I spoke with after the wedding were so impressed not only by Alyssa’s professionalism, but also by her warmth.
Alyssa gave clear direction, was open to feedback and ideas, and always made us feel comfortable. Side bar, I was having issues with my bustle, and she took the time to fix it- which was no easy task, as the dress was crocheted, and those darn buttons were a pain to find! They posed a problem for my mom and friends- but Alyssa seamlessly stepped up to help, and fixed that bustle in record time.
At the end of the day, I have lovely photos, but I felt like I made a new friend. Hire her for all of your events!
