About this vendor
Your wedding is the most beautiful and one of the biggest days of your life, so why not have the photographs to prove it. I capture images throughout the day of things you may not even see. Images that will make you smile; remember the emotions from the day and ones you will want to share them with friends and family forever. As a photographer, my job is to capture your wedding day as best as possible. However, I go above and beyond and form a real connection with my clients as I am part of one of the best days of your life. I simplify the process and give you beautiful memories that you will cherish and pass onto generations.

Stop! You've found your photographer! Alyssa was everything you'd want in a professional. She was friendly, kind and considerate. She kept the mood light and made the entire weddin...
g day an easy experience but more importantly, a memorable one. And not only were her personal skills amazing, but the photos she was able to take without being intrusive were incredible! You really couldn't ask for more in a person, she was the whole package. I'd recommend her to anyone looking for a true professional to capture their once in a lifetime memories.
Speechless... Absolutely speechless! Alyssa captured our sunrise surprise engagement in Lake Tahoe and there were truly no words to describe the pictures! I could cry right now jus...
t thinking about them!! Alyssa was beyond amazing; her sense of humor, professionalism and personality made the two of us (very unexperienced "models") so comfortable in front of the camera! Alyssa captured so many candid shots of my now fiancé and I, as she made us laugh and enjoy our very special morning together. We literally can not thank her enough for her beautiful work and are eager to work with her again in the near future!
Alyssa is incredible. I will forever cherish the moments that she captured throughout our wedding day. Even in the middle of a blizzard, she stayed so positive and cheerful, handl...

Alyssa photographed my engagement photos and my wedding and she was so wonderful! She was so informative and helpful throughout the whole process. She gives you these really hel...
pful booklets that have so much information in them,. They help you decide what to wear in your engagement photos and there's a timeline in there. It was seriously so helpful! She really helped to answer any questions I had and was always really responsive, which was so nice! When it came down to my wedding day she helped me put together my timeline and it honestly was the reason why my wedding was so easy and stress free! It rained on my wedding day but Alyssa and her partner in crime (who alyssa had flown in to help photograph my wedding day) were out there in the rain and our photos turned out so great! I love every single one of my photos and I really can't say enough great things about Alyssa, She made everything so easy and stress free and my photos are photos I will love forever!
One word. WONDERFUL. Alyssa is outstanding. She goes to to great lengths to make sure that the shoot is perfect. She taught us sooooo much when it came to standing posing etc . She...

Words cannot describe how amazing Alyssa Poland is. She was everything I could have hoped for in a photographer on my wedding day. She showed up ready to go and provided amazing gu...
idance, flexibility, and above all else patience when it came to prepare for my wedding, the actual wedding day, and the days following the wedding. I had a couple different consultations with her (over the phone since I lived farther away from Tahoe) and it was like talking to an old friend. We clicked instantly, and I could see that her vision for my wedding photos was the same as mine. I had found her on The Knot and she was also recommended by my venue. Her photography skills blew me away when I checked out her website/Instagram/Facebook. So when I spoke with her on the phone, I knew that she was the right person to capture such a special day.
She was incredibly professional and also amazed my wedding guests with her hot pink drone. My friends and family still talk about her. She captures so many memorable moments on that special day, that when I look at my photos I still have as big of a smile on my face as on my wedding day. My wedding was the best day of my life (so far) and Alyssa was able to forever capture those memories that I hold so close to my heart. Thank you, Alyssa.
Alyssa is amazing. We took a trip to Lake Tahoe and we couldn’t be more happy and satisfied with her service. Even thought it started to rain she didn’t mind getting wet or canceli...
ng our shoot. At the time I was 7 months pregnant and she was so patient with me. If you are looking for a photographer, you have to book her. She’s the best. Btw she has the best locations for you and your family.
Alyssa was so much fun to work with! She has a bubbly personality that makes you smile & captures moments beautifully.

ne feel comfortable. She’s not just a photographer, she’s an extension of the bridal party. She goes above & beyond!!! I live in FL, my wedding was in Tahoe were she is based. If I ever need a photographer in FL or anywhere, I would fly her in!!! Thanks Alyssa!
Alyssa was AWESOME to work with. She was prepared for everything and got the best pictures. Alyssa had my husband and I laughing and enjoying each other while taking pictures. She ...
made it seem like she was part of my family and as if we knew each other for a long time. Between all the photos Alyssa helped the groomsmen do their boutonniere and bustled my dress. Alyssa was insanely creative and created such cool images. She did a really cool photo of our rings, details and our wedding party. I will always love my images and will hire her for future shoots!
I'm a DJ so also being in the wedding industry, I work with a lot of photographers. However, Alyssa is best one I have worked with. Prior to the wedding day, she reached out to all...
the vendors included in the day to introduce her self and send the timeline. She also emailed all of the vendors the day after the wedding with a sneak peek gallery.
The bride and groom were having such a blast the entire day along with the guests, and Alyssa definitely captured that in her images. She went right in the middle of the dance floor with all the guests dancing and got some awesome photos. Alyssa is extremely professional, and I would love to work her every wedding.
There is no better photographer than Alyssa. The entire process was so easy because of her. She helped make a timeline for our day and sent it to all of the vendors included. On to...
p of that, she helped keep the day on schedule and in place. Alyssa captured all the best moments of our wedding day, and they are irreplaceable.
HIRE ALYSSA! I love, love, love, my photos. She was so much fun to have at my wedding. Her energy is continuously bubbly, energetic and was making everyone smile during the picture...
s.
I was concerned with my large list of family formal photo list, but she got through them so fast, it was unbelievable. The day wouldn't have been the same without her part of it.
Besides being my photographer, she was also like a coordinator, planner and a close friend. Alyssa walked into my getting ready room and already knew everyone's names. During the g...
etting ready, she kept checking in on how I was feeling, got me water and even had peppermint oil with her. This was extremely helpful when I said I was starting to get a headache.
The entire day Alyssa was so great, I recommend her to anyone getting married!
We were lucky enough to have our engagement shoot done by Alyssa and her close friend Danielle (@daniellestonephotograghy).
Alyssa made us laugh and really brought her personality ...
through in her work. It was such a pleasure to work with the two photographers. I would happily use them for any event I could and would recommend them to anyone, especially if you can have them together. They worked so well playing off one another and feeding each other's creativity. It was a pleasure to work with them and never seemed dull for a moment.
Now for the pictures. I don't have words for how wonderful the pictures turned out! There was no way I could narrow down the list to even twenty favorites. The shots were varied in nature, all very crisp and extremely well framed. The natural lighting and our smiles could not have been better captured.
My fiance and I were referred into Alyssa for our Wedding this summer in South Lake Tahoe. She was phenomenal and made our big day that much better! She made the whole wedding pa...
rty feel extremely comfortable, and was able to get my groomsmen to relax, which resulted in great/memorable photos. She had a fantastic personality, and has extreme attention to detail! We quickly received our photos back, and were blown away by the pictures she took. I highly recommend Alyssa, you will not be sorry!
Alyssa was sweet, fun and so easy to work with! She took such beautiful photos of our wedding. She was creative with the use of the background and scenery and was flexible with cra...
zy last minute picture requests. She captured such sweet moments and many times, I forgot she was even there taking pictures because she put us all at ease. She was very artistic and creative with some of her shots, especially with our rings. She was such a joy to work with and was always responsive to my many questions - I highly recommend her!
I can't speak more highly of Alyssa Poland Photography. From the very start, she was fantastic. She replied right away to my inquiry and was always easy to reach. Alyssa worked wit...
h us before the wedding to make sure that everything up to our day would be perfect, from giving us recommendations for other vendors to work with, giving us tricks and tips and everything in between. She also worked with us and created the perfect timeline, assuring we would receive the best photos possible. The entire day she made it seem like she was just another one of our close friend that was there to celebrate us. From the moment that Alyssa arrived, she made things so easy, and photos were so much fun with her making our nerves go away. Alyssa was extremely prepared for everything, including a few things that didn't fall into place. She went above and beyond with everything. We received our photos quickly and couldn't be more happy with them. She captured all the details of our day, the moments that I did and didn't see, and did an overall excellent job summarizing our wedding day. We will cherish our photos forever. We will definitely be recommending her to everyone and will be using her for any photos in the future. THANK YOU!!!
My husband and I are beyond thrilled and thankful that we chose Alyssa to capture our wedding day in Lake Tahoe. From the moment we began communicating with Alyssa it was clear to ...
us that she was very professional, friendly and knowledgeable.
We had an engagement session with her which was our best decision since it made us love working with her even more. She was able to make us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and we had so much fun without the stress of our wedding day timeline.
If you're looking for an incredible upbeat photographer who will capture intimate, candid, and heartfelt moments of your wedding, look no further! She is the real deal, I promise you! We can't thank Alyssa enough! Literally, the BEST decision we made!
