Alyssa Barletter Photography

l phone call with her (thanks, COVID), to our engagement session, to our wedding day, to delivering our wedding photos & beyond, Alyssa has been an absolute dream to work with. Everything she does goes above and beyond what I could have ever expected in my wedding photographer. Alyssa is professional, fun, so easy to be around and work with, timely & quick on responses, and her work as a photographer is amazing. Her personality is contagious - I can't tell you how many of our bridal party members and guests raved about Alyssa, and our second shooter, Sara Reed, after our wedding day! She is so fun to be around and really put everyone at ease that day, which made taking photos a breeze & not to mention, beautiful. In addition to how cool Alyssa is, her photos are 100x!!! We wanted our wedding photos to be timeless, real, in-the-moment, and her shooting and editing style is just that. She captured everything I wanted (and trust me, I had a huge list!), and delivered WAY beyond that - i.e. we had sneak peeks in our inbox by the time we got to our hotel room after our after-party, and our full gallery within 5 weeks! She made our day, and everything leading up to it so easy, stress-free, we cannot thank Alyssa enough! One of the best decisions of our wedding - not to mention gorgeous photos that we will cherish for a lifetime! Now, we can't wait to book one of her mini-shoots for some new family photos! RUN to book Alyssa now, I promise it will be the best decision & you will not regret it!

hen needed but then stepped back and was able to capture amazing candid photos. She is super professional but also really cool and fun at the same time and made the whole process of taking photos as fun and relaxing as they can be. We are so in love with our photos and would absolutely recommend Alyssa to help capture any big moments in your life!

ort period of time, so we didn't feel like our whole day was consumed with picture-taking. She also got our giant gallery back to us in LESS than a month!! We are so excited to hang her beautiful pictures in our home. I would absolutely recommend hiring her-you won't regret it!!!

ends who were married last year. I loved her editing style, but most importantly, I loved the way she brought their personalities through in their photos. I contacted her pretty much immediately! Every aspect of working with her was a dream. My now husband and I are awkward in front of a camera, let’s be honest, and Alyssa made us feel so at-ease and comfortable during our engagement photos, which turned out gorgeous. Originally planned for May 2020, our wedding took an unforeseen detour when we were faced with the pandemic. We weren’t left with many options for the rest of the year, so we had to make a quick decision to reschedule for August. Even though Alyssa herself wasn’t available for the rescheduled date (she would have been there if she could!) she did everything in her power to make sure we were taken care of. Her associate photographers were able to take the photos that day, and she refined them in her style that I knew and loved. HOLY GUACAMOLE we ended up with the dream team. Our photos are gorgeous, I can’t say enough about how much we love them!! As the cherry on top, she had our album finished so quickly I was stunned. I’m telling you this because when you hire Alyssa, you aren’t only getting the best photographer. You’re getting a wedding professional who delivers what she promises, no matter what. During uncertain and stressful times, knowing you can trust the people on your team means everything. I also feel like I gained a friend! This woman is going to be big… Book her while you still can!

us that I didn't even realize she was around for. We look back at our photos now and I'm just in aw of her ability to truly capture every moment. When we worked with her, we never had anything to worry about. It was great. I was a little stressed on the day of the wedding and when ever she came around, she really made it so much easier. I'd recommend her to everyone. She will go above and beyond anything that you could possibly imagine. I'm so thankful we were able to have her there.

e you feel like you’re not being photographed which creates the BEST photos! I never felt overwhelmed with the amount of pictures taken and it was a HOT day in July- and that’s all credited to her! I will forever cherish our photos and the decision to hire her to take them! I would highly recommend her- you will not be disappointed!

y, but the photos will help us remember and treasure that day years later. I wanted natural/candid photos more than photos of us looking posed and stiff, and she definitely delivered! Her effervescent personality helped us feel at ease in front of the camera. Alyssa offered suggestions of how we should pose or walk for good photos, without feeling like a school Picture Day photographer who spends a minute getting your chin pointed just the right way. She was a delight and we loved working with her. We had to reschedule our wedding day because of the pandemic, but Alyssa was incredibly easy to work with during that process. She was still able to photograph our wedding even though she was over 8 months pregnant on our new date. AND she got us 30 sneak peak photos before midnight. I’m pretty sure she’s a superhero.

re this. Alyssa helped me with step 1 to the end. She gave me a highlighted parking map and even the path I needed to take. It was over 100 degrees and Alyssa was hanging out before we got there, lets not to mention shes about to become a Momma. I cannot begin to thank her for going through the heat and capturing the moment for me. Janessa and I are so happy how this all turned out!

ess style that will make your wedding album come alive.

ral behind the lens. Our wedding day was perfect. We had a huge wedding party and Alyssa helped everything run smoothly and made sure everyone was having fun the whole day. She is so talented and puts her heart and soul into her work. We are so in love with each and every one of our wedding photos and love looking at them and reliving all of the special moments of our big day. Thank you for being awesome at what you do, Alyssa!

ifficult ceremony location with lighting and she did great! Her personality will bring a shy person out of their shell and make them feel comfortable taking pictures. She will guide you through taking pictures, which is great if you are camera shy. We did our engagement session and wedding with her and she is very quick to turn around photos, you go girl! I cannot recommend her enough. Book her now for you wedding!

g and speaks for itself but we also knew she would be fun to hangout with all day! She answered all of my questions and was super organized the day to make it stress free for us! She also knows all the best spots to get the best pictures!! We even woke up the next day with multiple pictures already ready! Alyssa is a rockstar!!

having her around on such an important/fast moving day really made our day that much better. Her calming presence and quick wit was exactly what I needed and honestly kept me feeling so relaxed that I was able to genuinely enjoy myself. She was so helpful from the moment we booked her and provided guidance when I asked about other vendors while planning. It rained on our wedding day and she, again, stayed calm, worked around it/watched for small breaks in the rain and we still got all the pictures we wanted. We’ve gotten so many complements on our photos and every time I look through them, I find a new favorite. She perfectly captured our relationship and we really look like “us” rather than just some staged version of ourselves. She got us ALL of our photos so quickly that I think I might have gotten whiplash (seriously so fast it was insane). She is genuine, kind, funny and SO talented. She will support you and be your biggest cheerleader while taking bomb photos and making sure you have a beer when you want one. :) Thank you, Alyssa. We love you! - Jill & Cam

re is why: My wife has an amazing smile, but I'm awkward and we are both very shy. The thought of having just how awkward I am memorialized for the ages caused wild amounts of anxiety. Turns out, it was all for nothing. Alyssa met my wife and I with the perfect energy. She encouraged us to do what we wanted (a brewery with our dog) and never told us an idea was dumb. She put us at ease from the get go, helped me look like a normal person, and got photos that caught my wife's amazing smile. And then through some kind of black magic she went through those pictures and put a sample up the same day. Waking up to those pictures the day after the wedding was special. Working with Alyssa and her team was easy at every point in time. Alyssa said in her blog post that we had a "laid-back" wedding and that's completely true; but she was a big part of making it stress free and that makes it all worth it. I'd recommend Alyssa to anybody. She's an outstanding person to work with and we're hoping we get to cross paths again in the future.

at her instagram, she is hilarious!). She captured every single detail on my wedding day and i am obsessed with every single photo. I highly recommend her and would tell any bride looking for a wedding photographer in the KC area to look no further!!!!! Thanks so so so so much for the beautiful wedding photos Alyssa! we love you!!!! :)

She helped keep us on track and she made sure to get all the pictures we asked for. She's seriously dedicated to capturing you and your day and she will stand in spiderwebs and hang off of railings if it means getting the perfect shot of you. Alyssa is genuinely amazing and we're so happy we booked her when we did!

nd I from the beginning of the whole wedding journey. Ben hired Alyssa for our proposal photos (thank goodness) the night we were engaged. Most photographers will hide in the bushes to take pictures of your proposal. Not Alyssa, she'll go above and beyond to make your engagement perfect. To make a long story short, this girl will act like she's head of marketing for a bank to make sure your proposal still stays a surprise! (while still getting the perfect shot!) We got the most beautiful photos I could have ever asked for that night and STILL get compliments on them today. She even sent us 20+ photos that same night! We couldn't have imagined using anyone else for our wedding after that night. She took our engagement photos, wedding photos and others and all are so incredibly beautiful! She is always quick to get your edited photos back to you, which is amazing for eager brides. So cheesy, but at the end of it all she wasn't just our photographer, she became a friend. Alyssa, thank you so much for everything. You captured our special moments so much better than I could have ever asked for. We feel so lucky to have had you through this whole process. We can't wait to have you shoot us again in the future!

photographer there...but I am so glad my fiance found Alyssa to capture it. During the engagement, I zoned in on my fiance and the promises he was making to me for our future and now have these beautiful photos to bring me back to that mind space. Aside from the pictures, Alyssa is a pro. My fiance wanted the KC skyline to be the backdrop of our engagement, so Alyssa helped guide him by putting an X on the ground where the proposal would capture that scene. She then sat in the bushes for who knows how long waiting for us. When the engagement happened she was so sly running up and getting the shots. I honestly didn't even notice her until it was all over. Its incredible she was able to get all the shots, but not draw attention to her and take away from our moment. If you have an important day you want to capture, you need Alyssa there. Finally, this is how dedicated she is...after the engagement, she pulled up the taped X on the ground in case any other engagements may happen in that spot so future couples don't get confused on their big days. She is a PRO.

xed presence to those around her. We had an engagement shoot a few months into our engagement and we were a little nervous, we aren’t models by any means. Alyssa immediately put us at ease and helped us feel more comfortable in front of the camera and our pics turned out SO cute. She has a magical way of capturing the love between couples. I feel like she captured our personalities so well and it really looked like ‘us’, not stiff or cheesy at all. On our wedding day, she was perfection. She is always professional and helpful and so fun to have around. She captured our day so well and I’m so so thankful to have those precious moments documented forever. She is soo quick with getting photos back to you and her editing skills are on point! I’ve already printed photos from our day and displayed them in our home. I haven’t even posted them on social yet because there’s SO many I love and I don’t want to be ridiculous and bombard peeps with 5000 images lol. Seriously, book Alyssa, she is a dream. I already miss hanging with her. - Kristen & Austin Rickabaugh

talk about her services. Not only did she make me feel at ease but she is one of the most down to earth people ever. We immediately booked her and I even did a boudoir shoot with her as a secret present for my husband! On wedding day it was like one of my besties was shooting for us. She hyped us up to feel our best and kept the day running smooth and on time. She gave us a sneak peek the NIGHT of the wedding that already had me in tears at how beautiful they were. Then within 3 weeks had every photo back to us and cue the tears again. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful and something we will cherish forever. For any future bride, trust her work. Going in to the day I told her I didn’t have any specifics on what I wanted to just do her thing. She far exceeded that, she captured every important moment that I could possibly imagine. We cannot thank you enough Alyssa for capturing our big day. Keep doing what you do, because you have true talent and the personality to match! -The Maloneys

ing pops out in photos that shouldn’t be there, and keeping you excited for the day coming. Also her work speaks for itself. We were blown away with our engagement session (my husband admits he had fun now) and our wedding photos were perfect, just the way we wanted! She goes above and beyond for all her clients and definitely recommend her hands down!

ots you will have framed for years in a matter of a few seconds. She is creative and a visionary that can really make you look your best on your day! We had her for both engagement and wedding pictures and we received so many compliments on her work. She made the whole day feel relaxed. At one point she even gave me her own water bottle because my giant dress was making me very thirsty and hot. She worked seamlessly with my other vendors and really made the day about the two of us. We love her!

s a photographer (an amazing one, at that), a coordinator, a hype girl... I'm pretty sure she would do just about anything you needed to make your day flow smoothly. Alyssa took amazing pictures (which she got back to us within 3 weeks, not to mention a sneak peek the night of the wedding), helped me seamlessly navigate the unavoidable bit of family tension that arose, bustled my dress so my mom could enjoy cocktail hour, pinned my dress when a wild dancer stepped on it and ripped my bustle on the dance floor, helped us feel confident and beautiful and sexy during our pictures, and helped coordinate communication between all involved throughout our day. Alyssa truly felt like a part of the wedding party, and our entire wedding party felt so comfortable and confident around her. Choosing Alyssa to be our photographer was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Thank you, Alyssa!

sed with the photos she posted the night of (yes, the night of the wedding!!!!). We cannot wait to see the rest!

d extremely timely. I was so impressed with how many places we went and the amount of photos she took in our first session with her. Then, for our Wedding Day, same thing. She was so great to work with and really captured so many special moments for us throughout the whole day/night. I was so blown away by all the photos and her editing style is just what I had in mind for the color/lighting, etc for our wedding photos. A plus was how sweet and flexible she was when we had to re-schedule our engagement session multiple times. She was very understanding, responsive, and made us feel so well taken care of. 100% recommend Alyssa to anyone getting married and looking for a totally relaxed, experienced photographer who is also great at making you laugh/look natural to get those candid-looking shots!

t takes to make your day effortless and perfect! We loved working with her. We recommend her to everyone! You will not be disappointed!!

l, personal experience. She creates a relaxed atmosphere that lets you have fun and feel comfortable in front of the camera. She has such a great eye for photography, and I got so many compliments on how our photos looked like they were from a magazine or out of a fairytale. Not only will you have beautiful photos, but you will have so much FUN working with Alyssa! :)

ed out gorgeous! We would definitely recommend her.

ey could dream of. Alyssa kept in constant contact with me to make sure I had everything I needed for the big day. She made everyone feel so at ease throughout the entire day and captured the most incredible pictures and candid moments. There is not a single picture I did not absolutely LOVE! I have not stopped receiving messages about how incredible our pictures turned out because of this girl! I would recommend Alyssa to capture any event. I know you will love her just as much as we do! We will definitely be using her again in the future!

xperience she also seemed like a coordinator. She has an attention to details I never would have thought of. Even my husband (who doesn't always like pictures) said he enjoyed it because Alyssa made it fun for all the guys too and was so easy going. I highly recommend her to capture your big day because the pictures are what you will keep and look back on forever!

os and we were giddy. She captured our relationship perfectly. And, for our wedding day, she made the day perfect. She captured moments we didn't even know were happening and the photos will be treasured forever. Alyssa is fun, energetic, open to anything that makes the bride & groom happy and not to mention, extremely fast! She got our photos done so quick and we were able to relive our big day over & over again.

I did not want to make the ‘wrong’ decision. However, from the moment I met Alyssa, I was at ease. Not only are her photography skills phenomenal, she is so relaxed and laid back, which is exactly what my husband and I were wanting. The day after our wedding as we finally had time to discuss all of the previous day’s events, I told my husband that I loved Alyssa and Sara (our second photographer), and would totally recommend Alyssa Barletter Photography to anyone we knew who was getting married. He responded, “I just want to invite her to hang out the next time we are in Kansas City! She’s so cool.” We are in love with all of our photos and would not hesitate to hire Alyssa again.

nks at a wine bar; she's so down to earth and committed to getting to know her clients. She's very organized and helped us with some of the details we weren't sure about. On the big day, she was the absolute best. She and Sara-Taylor Reed made everything so much fun and easy. They made sure we had drinks if we wanted them and even offered to go grab sunscreen for us because we definitely needed it. Our photos are absolutely stunning. They were exactly what I'd imagined and expected from her but it was still a surprise to actually see them in reality, not just what I'd envisioned. It's such a breath of fresh air when photographers can capture exactly how the day felt, and both Alyssa and ST did that so well. I will forever recommend Alyssa!

was how happy he was that Alyssa was the photographer. She is so calming, and was so helpful with everything, not just photos. I mean she helped me through freak out moments and even put my veil in. But other than being just an incredible person, Alyssa's photos are GORGEOUS! Our wedding night, we were even surprised with like 5 photos on social media already! It was such a cool thing to be back in the hotel looking at photos and just reflecting on our Wedding Day. Obviously, we both adore Alyssa and would recommend her to anyone! Seriously, book her now! :)

nd the pictures turned out even better than I could have imagined! Hire her! She is the bomb.

shot and making sure everyone looks great! She also was very speedy and timely getting our photos back to us! Highly recommend!!!!

fessional photos before and instead of the experience being awkward and forced, she made us laugh and feel comfortable throughout. Alyssa was very easy to work with and the photos turned out great!

how our pictures turned out. The creativity and wide variety of photos we received exceeded my expectations in every way. From the actual photo session to the finished products the whole experience was enjoyable because Alyssa is just so fun to work with. I always recommend her to people who are searching for a photographer for any occasion and we plan on having her take more photos for us in the future!

hat we were looking for on our bid day, worked with us on pricing and was flexible to work with us on our day of timeline. Her and her team are very talented and did an amazing job at our wedding and reception. I'd recommend her to anyone needing a photographer to capture the most special moments.

ll of the various requests and suggestions with true professionalism. We had a wonderful experience and the pictures are fabulous. Thank you Alyssa so very much for everything!

to capture from your day and you will get amazing pictures in return! Thanks Alyssa! xo

ving direction to get the perfect pictures, while still listening to what you want to see in your photos. My fiancé and I, were pretty intimidated by the prospect of professional photos. We needed someone to give us instruction and make the experience fun. Alyssa's easy going attitude and sassy personality immediately put us at ease and we were able to really be ourselves, which translated into our photos. I would recommend her to anyone without hesitation.

Island, Florida. The photos she took radiate warmth and genuine joy. She made it so fun and effortless. Alyssa is especially great for the type-A bride. She is easy-going, provides direction, and makes you laugh and feel comfortable. She is quick to to respond to messages and easy to communicate with. I would most certainly recommend!

I. Alyssa was great to talk to prior to the shoot as we brainstormed how to capture our love in a creative adventure shoot. The day of the shoot I was so nervous. I had never had professional photos taken of myself, let alone in an intimate settings with my boyfriend. She made the shoot so comfortable and allowed us to take our time as we got to know the scenes she selected for us. She was kind as she helped move my hand up or my boyfriends face into the light and capture such incredible photos of us. We are in a long distance relationship and wanted a photo shoot to capture our love at this stage in our lives. Alyssa nailed it. We could not wait to share the photos with families and friends. Alyssa's strength is getting to know her client and ensuring their vision and emotions are captured in the results. Such a great experience, thanks Alyssa!!
