I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She made us feel so comfortable, casual, beautiful and joyful on our special day. She has an incredible documentarian eye that I'm so grateful for as it helps us relive that day down to the details. Her energy, professionalism, and talent is such a cherry on top of any event! My partner and I are also huge fans of film photography so that was a beautiful bonus that Alyssa was able to take film in addition to digital <3
My husband and I had to pivot our initial wedding plans last minute because of COIVD and move them from Alaska to my hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. We decided this 2 months before our planned wedding date which made for a stressful process of organizing our big day in a short amount of time with COIVID regulations. We knew having a photographer document our day was a must. My husband researched a few photographers and stumbled upon Alyssa. She was the first and only one we reached out to. She agreed to take on our short notice wedding. She was very personable, easy to communicate with, and enjoyable to work with. She listened to what we wanted and did not want. During the planning we were struggling with finding an officiant. We asked Alyssa of any suggestions and she immediately provided us an option who we hired and ended up being equally as superb as Alyssa. The connection was a nice plus from hiring Alyssa. We feel as though her pricing was fair and she was very up front with the costs associated with hiring her. On the day of, she showed up on time and ready to go, and took an incredible number of great photos of us. She was able to fit in a quick session between our ceremony and dinner at a different location. She also joined us for our wedding dinner to both photograph and enjoy herself. We were embarrassed because the restaurant we booked mistakenly miscounted the number of chairs we needed. With a smile on her face Alyssa was willing to squeeze into the head of the table with me. Both my husband and I were surprised at how many great pictures Alyssa was able to take of us, our dog, and our party. We are not the most photogenic bunch, but you could not tell based on the pictures she took. The quick 1-day turnaround with a selection of photos was a nice perk. We were able to enjoy them on our honeymoon and reminisce. We were also able to quickly appease our families by sharing those with them. The quick turnaround on those photos allowed us to utilize the pictures on our Thank You cards without any delay in sending them out. Working with Alyssa was great, and we could not be happier with how the photos turned out. We would recommend her!
Alyssa is one of the most talented photographers in DSM and such a sweet person! At all stages of the process Alyssa was there to answer questions, provide recommendations, and help sure our special day was perfect. We had to change our plans due to covid and Alyssa was so accommodating. Alyssa did an amazing job capturing our special day (and dealing with our two pups) and we are so very thankful we found her! Book her nowβyou definitely wonβt regret it!
My biggest worry when searching for our wedding photographer was that I didn't want our photos to look like every other wedding out there. Alyssa made ART out of our wedding photos and gave us a unique and wonderful experience from our consultation to our wedding day. We ended up booking 3 sessions with her: engagement, couples boudoir (yes it's a thing and yes you should totally do it) and our wedding day. For each session, she ran with our ideas and exceeded what we had planned in our minds. She makes you and your partner feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Something that especially stood out to me on our wedding day was that she took the time to memorize names of our wedding party and family so that she could direct people and make them feel comfortable during group pictures. A small gesture that went such a long way. She was the only one photographing our day, but still somehow managed to capture every special person and moment throughout our wedding. As I'm sure you can tell by now, I can go on forever about how great Alyssa is to work with, but please know that if you're on the hunt for a photographer who will provide you with an awesome experience and photos you'll treasure forever, she's your girl. π€
We were drawn to Alyssa because of her artistic, unique style. We didn't want traditional, posed wedding photos and she delivered with beautiful photos that captured our sweetest moments. Alyssa was very responsive throughout the whole process. It was easy to communicate with her and her online booking process was a breeze. She doubled as a wedding planner helping us create a timeline for our entire day which was very helpful. She had great ideas for photo locations and gave us plenty of options. It was easy and fun working with her. She is sweet, professional, and extremely talented. If you're lucky enough to snag her, we highly recommend it!
If you are looking for an extremely talented photographer who is a blast to work with, look no further. Alyssa was fantastic from the first meeting to the very end and I am ecstatic with how the pictures from our engagement shoot, wedding day, and boudoir session turned out! She captured so many of the little moments that flew past me in the excitement of the day that I know it's cliche to say, but these pictures really do reflect the most amazing moments of my life and the investment to have a pro like her make it so we can treasure the memories forever is 100% worth every penny!
Alyssa went above and beyond for us. We came to her with a unique situation - a cocktail party celebration rather than the big traditional wedding format. We didn't have the regular formula to follow and only knew how to describe what we DIDN'T want rather than what we were looking for (dream client right?!) Alyssa pieced together our rambling conversations and delivered us exactly what we were wanting but could never explain. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed and like an old friend was there celebrating with us. We can not recommend her enough.
Alyssa did my engagement photos & my wedding photos. My husband and I just adore her artsy self! She is so fun to work with. She's an in the moment type of photographer and she captures THE BEST moments ever. We were so pleased to have chosen her to capture our big day! She was super, super organized, especially with my large family. She made taking family photos quick, easy, and fun. Thank you, Alyssa! We appreciate you.
Alyssa is an amazing photographer and an even better person! We had an out of the ordinary idea for our engagement photos and she was all in on trying it out. We appreciated Alyssa's creativity, professionalism, and reasonable pricing.
What I like best about Alyssa is that she captures the small moments without fabricating them - resulting in natural photos that truly reflect the spirit of the day.
Alyssa was an absolute wonder to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos! My husband and I were equally nervous about our engagement session and Alyssa made it as laid back as possible and she made us look like pros after the first few shots! She is extremely patient and also accommodating as far as times, dates, and changes. We got our BEAUTIFUL photos back in a timely manner & honestly, we can't thank her enough for all of her hard work!
Alyssa was wonderful to work with! She made our wedding day run so smoothly and she was very organized. She was so sweet and I felt very comfortable with her taking our photos. We absolutely loved how our photos turned out! She was so great at capturing every small detail and emotion from our wedding. I love being able to relive our wedding day through these photos. They are better than we ever could have imagined and are something we will cherish forever. <3
