Thanks to recommendations from couples on The Knot
I believe that photography should revolve around the wedding-- not the other way around. I believe in telling stories as they are. I see beauty in the unexpected. To me, photography is a celebration of humanity. You don't need to be anyone but yourself on your wedding day, and I believe you deserve a photographer who celebrates authenticity.
Does this mean every photo will be taken without consideration for lighting, composition, or beauty? Absolutely not! I've been obsessed with beauty my whole life. I take great care that my photos aren't bland documentations, they are photos of real moments that are beautiful enough to hang on your walls. I decided a long time ago I didn't have to choose between beauty and reality-- to me, they go hand in hand.
So yes, I will be taking pictures of the flowers in boxes before taking the pretty detail shots. I'm gonna document the messy tables of half-eaten cake as the night winds down. I will be on the lookout for little moments in between all the big ones. I don't bring shot lists with me to weddings. I bring an open heart and open eyes. Your wedding doesn't need to be anything other than what it is, in all its perfect imperfection. It is the people and their stories that matter to me. Everything else is just a bonus.

Hi! I'm Alyssa. I've lived in Utah all my life and the mountain views still take my breath away. I love meeting new people and witnessing the best moments of their lives. Every wedding I attend makes me feel like the luckiest person alive to get to do what I love. I launched my business in 2015 and since then I've shot weddings around the country for people who know that the moments and the people are what matter most. I document real life in a beautiful way. I don't need anything fancy or expensive to make good photos, you and your people are more than enough. Let me tell your story, yeah?

As a wedding DJ, I’ve worked with countless photographers. I believe that the most important team is your DJ and your photographer because your DJ creates moments and your photographer captures them. Working with Alyssa is flawless, she captured moments so well that when you see the photos, you can feel the excitement in them. It was truly a pleasure to work with her.

We hired Alyssa over a year before our wedding in July 2023, and were drawn to her photography style and the way she captured the energy of the wedding, the couples, and the guests. We met with Alyssa to discuss everything via video and met her the day of the wedding, where she made us feel at ease and also gave us simple directions to capture wonderful photos throughout the evening. I hope to continue to hire Alyssa for family photos in the future since working with her was such a great experience!
Any questions?

Alyssa is wonderful and now that we’ve experienced the joy of working with her I am counting on her to take our all our photos, for as long as we all shall live. In addition to her obvious artistic talent she is a deeply kind human who puts everyone at ease and makes you feel (and look) like yourself.

Alyssa is the best! We had such an amazing experience working with her, she was warm, easy to coordinate with, an uplifting presence on our wedding day, and of course, created the most beautiful works of art commemorating our wedding that we could have asked for. Alyssa's eye for picking out candid moments and use of framing to lead the viewer's eye throughout the scene she has composed displays true mastery of her craft, especially when you consider how fast she has to react to capture everything. Working with her was a breeze too, from our initial meetings with her all the way to the day of. Our guests all gushed over how beautiful the final album of photos turned out, our only issue was in narrowing down our favorites to print!

We can’t recommend Alyssa more. We found her on The Knot having really no idea what we wanted in a photographer. As soon as we saw her work, a light bulb clicked.
Looking through the photos of our wedding was such a wonderful nostalgic moment. Alyssa truly captures everything as it unfolds. She has an eye for grabbing those special moments. We also loved her absolute love of pure photography - the film, the documentary style.
Alyssa is communicative, straight forward and so easy to work with. She rolled into our day like a fly on the wall with four cameras and produced the most memorable photos we will cherish for a lifetime.

It’s already been said before but Alyssa is amazing!!! I knew I was looking for someone who was going to capture the day as it happened, and not have our photos feel staged. Alyssa did just that but exceeded expectations. We got amazing family photos, couple photos but not just that, there were some candid photos that were absolutely pieces of art. Alyssa truly has an amazing eye for photography.
Another thing I’ve noticed after going to other weddings is that sometimes wedding photos can feel hectic and stressful. Not once did Alyssa pull us away from a conversation just to get a photo. In turn it just made the whole day feel smooth and laid back. If you’re looking for an editorial style photographer for your wedding, please BOOK ALYSSA!

I found Alyssa through a deep search on instagram and as soon as I reached out to her, I was blown away with her quick response, and genuine interest in the kind of photos I envisioned for my wedding to make sure she was a good fit. Her photos are timeless, artful, and intentional. The whole process from start to finish was seamless. I was especially impressed with the questionnaire I received from her prior to the wedding to make sure we were on the same page and she knew what to expect that day. I've had many people tell me my wedding photos are the best they've ever seen - and I agree! Alyssa is calm, cool, collected, and fun to be with. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and I feel like hiring Alyssa as our photographer was the best decision we made during our wedding planning. You'll probably miss her and want to hang out after your wedding.

Choosing Alyssa as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! Her manners, quality of work, organization, and overall interaction was top notch. She has an eye for detail and captures all the great moments and tells a story through her pictures.
Her photography style is unique. She spends time knowing the subject but also understanding the key people in the event, and ensuring they are captured as well. We have over a thousand pictures and ALL of them are unique and beautiful.
If you are looking for a true photographer artist, Alyssa is it!

From our first exchange with Alyssa, we knew she was the one. She is a gem! Alyssa has an eye for capturing the unpolished beauty of life's biggest moments. Scrolling through our wedding photos brought us right back to the day. We couldn't help by shed a few tears (again).

I cannot recommend Alyssa enough. If you want your wedding pictures to look like they are straight out of Vogue while also having a wonderful experience, Alyssa is your photographer. There are a million photographers out there, but Alyssa definitely has the eye to capture the real and tender moments of your wedding day. I have never felt so beautiful in candid photos as I did in Alyssa's. Absolutely worth every cent.

I happened upon Alyssa when googling "documentary style wedding photography" for our somewhat last minute, intimate wedding. From the beginning, her warmth shone through her email exchanges (which were VERY prompt). We were very happy that she happened to be available for our day. On the day of the wedding, it felt like an old friend just popped by to take some photos-- she was so personable and made me very at ease when my nerves were a little frazzled from the mild chaos of herding family members, putting together floral arrangements, and handling all the last minute DIY wedding details. My husband and I can both count on one hand the amount of photos we've had taken of ourselves in the last 5 years, so suffice to say we are somewhat uncomfortable being in front of a lens. You'd never know it from the amazing photos that resulted from our wedding. We are so so happy with the results of our wedding photos and wouldn't change anything about the whole experience. Here are some things that Alyssa excels at:
-Prompt communication
-Clearly laying out what options would work best for our particular wedding (we ended up doing a 2 hour session since our elopement style wedding was so small)
-Blending in easily as a part of our family celebrations
-Providing just enough direction to us to have nice backgrounds, body positioning, and moments captured without overly posing or creating artificial poses
-An excellent combination of traditional wedding moments and unique spontaneity
-A clear and reasonable contract (I like having a good contract to set clear expectations on both ends)
-A very easy, professional, and visually pleasing format for displaying all the final photos
-A super sweet slideshow that I will watch every day with happy tears in eyes
-Everyone wants to know pricing-- I have no real frame of reference for cost of wedding photography because I only got one other quote for photography before finding Alyssa and realizing she was exactly what we wanted. I feel her prices were absolutely reasonable and competitive given both the skill she has in interacting with people, and the quality product she provides.

Emma,
I cannot tell you how happy I was reading your review but more importantly I’m just...
so happy you had such a good experience with me! I knew you must have enjoyed working with me as I know you were online recommending me to your friends before you had even got your photos back. (Thank you for the referral by the way!). Now that you have your photos I am so glad it was a good experience from start to finish. Clients like you are the reason I choose to keep doing weddings— because doing them for good people who appreciate my work makes me feel so fulfilled. Thank you for allowing me to be your photographer and for sharing your experience with others. You’re the best!

Alyssa is incredible. If you want artistic, stunning, one-of-a-kind wedding photos, then she's your girl! Alyssa's work struck me immediately. Her photos tell a story, both as individual pictures and as a whole set. Alyssa herself is wonderful and easy to talk to. Everyone who interacted with her on the wedding day loved her!
Post-wedding, I was stunned when she turned around ALL of our photos only 4 weeks after the wedding! The bonus slideshow is such a nice touch, and the photos are sent via Pic-Time, which allows you to purchase prints, frames, etc directly from the portal.
I almost don't have words for how stunning our photos are. Looking through them made me feel so grateful for all the wonderful people in our lives, and helped me remember how lovely our wedding day really was. It's so true when people say your wedding day rushes past; there are so many details I missed or moments that I let myself feel stressed, and I am so thankful that Alyssa captured everything with so much beauty and detail.
Some of the things I loved about our photos:
- Alyssa absolutely captured our personalities; goofiness and all!
- Collectively, the pics captured the setting so well; the entire collection feels like a story
- The dancing pics are possibly the best wedding dance pics I've ever seen?!!!!
Alyssa has given us such a gift with her beautiful work. We'll treasure these photos for a lifetime! I absolutely recommend her!

I don’t know if I can write a review as glowing as I feel after working with Alyssa, but I’m going to try in a few sentences. On an artistic level, she has the ability to unearth beauty and truth hidden beneath the surface. On a professional level, she’s quick to respond, transparent, supportive and decisive. And she’s all around a good, empathetic human being. Be prepared to be seen and love what she sees in you.

Alyssa was the perfect wedding photographer. She was a delight to collaborate with leading up to the wedding and a dream on the day. She somehow was everywhere at the same time, snapping pictures of every special moment of the day. She made me feel comfortable and was great at directing everyone around. We just got our photos back from the day and they took our breath away. She has much an artistic eye and is so creative. I'm over the moon!

Alright, I'm going to be honest here; our wedding was 1 year ago and I'm only just getting around to writing this review, but that also means that we've had an entire year to look back at all our amazing engagement and wedding photos Alyssa took for us and appreciate what an incredible job she did. As someone who is super camera-shy, I didn't feel at all uncomfortable with Alyssa. She gave us just enough direction without forcing an unnatural pose, and listened to all our feedback and requests. One of the things that stood out to me was how interesting and meaningful the photos in Alyssa's portfolio were; she has such a unique way of telling a story through her art, and I'm so happy she was able to capture our story too. By far our favorite vendor, and we can't speak highly enough of Alyssa, her professionalism, and her skill. Thank you so much !

Alyssa was everything we could ever have hoped for in a photographer. I found Alyssa on Instagram and fell in love with her style and esthetic. Check out her photos! What I love most is how her pictures feel like real life: not cookie-cutter, not squared-up and centered, not tripod-captured smiles. She has a way of getting candid moments that really bring out the actual emotion and joy we were feeling in the moment without feeling over-posed or uncomfortable. Alyssa made us feel relaxed and the whole experience was very easy. She was punctual, was easy to communicate with, flexible. All of the things! To give you a background, we did a couples session with our 2 dogs by taking a walk around our neighborhood.

Alyssa has to be the most talent photographer in Utah! She captured our wedding perfectly. She was so great to work with and to get everything set up. We had a lot of back and forth because we were stressed with possible weather issues. She handled it with such grace. She actually mentioned that rain was one of her favorite settings. We were drawn to Alyssa because she offers a style that is unique and off the beaten path of typical wedding photos. The result was stunning. It literally looked like a photo essay featured in a high end New York City gallery. We could not have been more pleased with the result. We had so many shots where we were just left saying, ”how did she get that shot?!” We honestly don’t even remember seeing her during the wedding or the reception. But, she captured up close and personal shots that we cannot get over!! Thank you Alyssa! We also just wanted to say we appreciate how inclusive she is and we appreciate that she was willing to work with us as members of the LGBTQ+ community! If we could get married again just to have an excuse to have her do more photographs—we would! She is a MUST if you are considering her for your wedding!

We LOVE Alyssa! She did such an amazing job on our engagement photos that we are booking her for all future life events! She made us feel comfortable then snapped away. I was really nervous getting our photos taken because I am a perfectionist and I was extremely worried I wasn't going to like any photos of me BUT Alyssa delivered; we loved every single photo she gave us. Can't recommend her enough. If you are thinking about booking her, BOOK NOW! She is amazing and you will love your photos.

I've been admiring Alyssa's work for quite a while now, and was so happy that she was able to take our family pictures! She is so friendly, and worked really well with my 2 kids (3 and 1).
She gave us good directions for your typical family photos, but also caught everything in between. I didn't realize how many pictures that she was taking until I got almost 200 pictures back! I now have pictures of us walking, holding hands, laughing, picking up kids, the baby crying, the nature around us, and so much more.
Alyssa has a way of capturing real people and real emotions in a way that I haven't seen before.It's like magic! When I was looking at my pictures for the first time, I became teary eyed by the 3rd picture because they are that amazing. I am so happy to have these memories saved in such a beautiful format.
If you need an amazing photographer (trust me, you do) who tells a story more than just taking pictures, Alyssa is your girl!

When we were planning our wedding, we had lots of questions, like "Is it worth it to hire a photographer?" Turns out, YES, 1,000,000%, totally worth it, probably one of the most important things you can spend money on. And "who should we hire?" If you are also asking yourself this question, we can help you: Alyssa Sorenson.
Alyssa is amazing. We can't do her justice in words and encourage you to look at her stunning photos on her website/instagram. We reviewed the portfolios of dozens of wedding photographers, and she really stood out from everyone else. Her work really outshines the field in terms of integrity, authenticity, and artistry. Alyssa cares about documenting emotion and the fleeting, beautiful moments that fill your wedding day, but that can be so difficult to capture if you don't have her careful, attentive eye. She finds unique and surprising perspectives to tell stories that would otherwise be unheard, and she also has a knack for being in the perfect place at the right time to capture the tear or smile that sums up a lifetime of loving someone. Yes, she's that good.
In addition to being the most creative and skilled photographer you can find, she is such a lovely, calm, genuine person who will elevate your wedding day just with her presence. She was somehow constantly present, but in a humble, quiet way that felt so integrated into the wedding. She truly went above and beyond. In the flurry of activity right before the ceremony she was helping us with tasks like a sister (she buttoned my mom's dress!), and then she stayed more than an hour after we had initially planned in order to capture the dancing. I loved watching her move through the day with her quiet power to notice and capture beauty. She is incredibly focused and yet somehow manages to be open to all of the spontaneous moments that you later can't imagine having missed. She's an absolute goddess among mortals. I promise you that you will thank yourself for making such a spectacular decision if you work with her.
We LOVED having her be a part of the wedding--we just wish we could have spent more time just hanging out. When we think of our wedding day, we think of a day infused with Alyssa's kindness, patience, and warmth. Alyssa combines grace and unparalleled artistic skill. In the words of one of our best friends, "I know I was at your wedding and it was beautiful, but these pictures feel like something out of Hollywood and I sort of have to double check that I was there," and my brother, "WOW, that photographer NAILED IT!"
Alyssa was also beyond generous in working with us to ensure that every moment and person we hoped to capture was part of the wedding gallery. We really cannot imagine a more accommodating and kind approach to sharing her work. She also adorably encouraged us to record us watching our wedding slideshow, which is also something we're so grateful to have.
We look at her photos every day. They are definitely the antidote to a sad day, and bring us back to the overwhelming joy of being surrounded by our loved ones on the happiest day of our lives. We know we will treasure them as long as we live. We really don't know how to thank her. We would be extremely grateful to have Alyssa be a part of any important occasion in the future, and feel SO lucky that we were able to work with her on our wedding. Please do yourself one of the biggest, best lifetime favors you can, and have her be a part of your wedding. We love you, Alyssa! Thank you!

tely respond! You have left me speechless, my dear. Seriously, every time I try to write a response I just end up shaking my head. How can I sufficiently thank someone who not only entrusted me to photograph their wedding day, but totally "gets" everything I'm about?
Being a part of your wedding was truly one of the highlights of my year as a wedding photographer. I didn't feel like just another vendor, I felt included; I felt like an active participant. Your wedding vows were some of the most beautiful I've heard, and simply watching you enjoy your day and the happiness of everyone there was enough to make me talk about it to my mom and husband for days afterward. The way you noticed everyone there, even the littlest and youngest of wedding guests. You two are an inspiration, and I am so lucky you picked me! Thank you for that, and thank you for seeing me for who I am. It means more than you know. <3

Alyssa is the most amazing photographer and human being! I was so nervous because I feel really shy and unphotogenic and obviously for your engagement pictures you want to look happy and not like you are the most uncomfortable person! The second I met Alyssa I was 100% calmer. She was so kind and personable and made me feel completely at ease. The shoot felt like it went so quick and I never once felt like I was uncomfortable or hating it! I felt like we were just talking and getting to know each other and she was snapping a few pics while doing it! Long story short, she is incredible. When we got the pictures back (SO QUICKLY) my fiance and I were both sobbing at how amazing they were and how they completely captured our love! Do yourself a favor and book Alyssa! These are just the engagements and I could not be more thrilled to have her shoot our wedding!

We are so glad we had Alyssa photograph our bridals and wedding! She did/does such a beautiful job, (Like I'd totally hang up her photos of other people's weddings because they are all so gorgeous!)
When searching for a photographer I fell in love with her unique documentary style. She is able to capture honest moments in creative ways. Bringing out the beauty of seemingly little things.
Another thing that made her stand out to me was she isn't afraid to edit photos in black and white. Thoughtfully choosing photos to do so that greater emphasize the love and other emotions felt.
Not only is the work Alyssa makes amazing, but working with her was too. She was both a professional and a friend.
She was dependable, kept in contact with us, quickly answering any questions we had up to and during our bridal shoot and wedding day, and gently directed us on what to do when taking formal photos. Alyssa's loving and fun personality helped us feel relaxed and like ourselves. We had such a fun time during our shoot!
We are so happy with our wedding photos and loved our experience working with Alyssa!

Allysa’s work is AH-mazing. Sure she gets all the basic pictures you want—but then she goes so far beyond that. Through her lense, the ordinary (and even sometimes stressful) moments of your wedding day become beautiful. As I scrolled through the hundreds of pictures she gave us (yes, hundreds because we had her do everything: engagements, formals, wedding ceremony, and reception), I laughed or teared up at almost every single one. Her pictures captured the magic of the day perfectly. They’re everything I could have hoped for and then some.
As for Alyssa herself, she was a dream to work with too. She is warm, funny, stylish, and observant. When we showed up for our engagments, we were fast friends. She gave the directions us noobs to photography needed to get good pictures. I dreaded that it would be awkward, but of course, it wasn’t. She made it fun.
She’s also incridly professional. I definitely had a few bridal freak out/indecisive moments, and she didn’t take it personally and she simply helped me come to a decision I (and my husband) would be happy with.
Now that the wedding has come and gone, I find myself fantasizing about excuses to get dressed up in fabulous clothes and taking dramatic photos on a windy mountain side, and of course, Alyssa is the photographer I imagine there 💛

Madie, OMG. Waking up to these words today was the best possible way to start my day. Plus...
I’m doing another wedding today so now Imma go into it feeling like wonder woman :) :). I remember you and Drew’s wedding like it was yesterday, and I too have many fond moments and find myself reminiscing as I look back through the photos. I love that the photos become personal to me too, because it’s equal parts me and you guys. It’s like our little baby! Haha, anyway, thank you for trusting me to do all those photos for you. Always an incredible honor.

Alyssa is beyond amazing! I searched for weeks for a photographer for my wedding, and as soon as I saw Alyssa's work I knew she was exactly what had been searching for. And despite me being someone who gets awkward as soon as I see a camera, she knew exactly how to make everything look stunning. Our photos turned out more beautiful than I could have imagined. I only wish she could follow me around and photograph my entire life. She's one of the greats. <3

I just received my wedding photos from Alyssa and to say I am blown away would be an understatement. In my mom's words, "it was worth having a destination wedding in Utah just to work with the best photographer in the country!" I knew from the minute I came across her work that her talent was truly special, but to see the photos from our wedding only served to emphasize that further. Alyssa is kind, funny, genuine, responsive, and very easy to work with. I was worried the day after the wedding that I hadn't spent enough time doing planned photos and that I hadn't given her enough material, but I shouldn't have worried for it for a second. She managed to capture our day in the most complete and magical way that is beyond what I could have hoped for and we will cherish these pictures forever. The only regret I have is that she wasn't also able to be our guest. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Alyssa, I cannot wait to have you document events in our lives for years to come.

Alyssa is beyond dedicated to her craft. We have loved working with her from our engagement photos, when we were literally awkward in front of a camera and it was raining, to our wedding that was across the country where Alyssa showed up with a brand new baby in tow, having just given birth within the past few weeks. See what I mean when I say dedicated? Not only did our engagement shots turn out well, somehow we didn't look awkward at all. She made us extremely comfortable, got us both laughing, even got me to forget that I forgot to wear half my makeup and our photos turned out raw and so beautiful, I still adore them. My husband, who dreads photos, had a good time, he didn't realize how long we were there, and he looked SO handsome in our pictures! A year later we got married across the country and though it cost a bit more to afford for Alyssa to come with us (think flight, hotel, transportation), we have zero regrets. She is a unique photographer through and through and we got one of a kind shots from our big city wedding, which was at a very old museum but a museum with funk and class, and she was a sport! 9 hours with a brand new baby, breastfeeding, not missing a moment of our magic or weirdness, we have shots we love and will get to look back on forever. We, to this day, get complimented on our color palette, the individuality in each of our photos, and the people we chose to be in our wedding party (how different, kind, beautiful in so many different ways they were, how cool it was they were from all over (yes, we're even talking different countries, not just states and cities), and everyone got along like they knew each other for years), and all of that wouldn't be half as apparent if it weren't for Alyssa and her artistic eye, the way she captures movement and especially interaction. I sense feeling in our photos. Some of my east coast friends even say they want her to come photograph their weddings when it is their time and I don't blame them, I fully encourage it. She is one of a kind, worth every penny and then some. After our wedding we wanted to take some raw photos back home in our great mountain state, my hubs dresses down and I chose to wear a more bohemian dress among the incredible rockfaces and stunning fall trees in one of our great canyons. We wanted to show some contrast between who we are and can be as a couple. We did the fancy, the big city, and now we wanted the rugged, raw, jagged, dirty, and the real mountains that we call home as a contrast. I'm so glad we shot our formal photos that way and that Alyssa agreed to let us do them differently. I didn't climb back into my Jenny Packham dress and drag it through the dirt, my husband wasn't back in a tux. We were us in the mountain weather. Best of all, we shot some photos announcing our honeymoon surprise...we had gotten pregnant on our honeymoon and are due in May! You bet your bums we will be looking to hire Alyssa to shoot that too, as we will be welcoming our first baby girl together into this world. I could not say better things about this photographer or the company she works for. I am beyond excited for her to document all parts and phases of our life, as it truly feels like she has been there from the beginning of our amazing journey together and I can't wait to see what unfolds for us and what that looks like through the ends of her mysterious, artsy, and always one-of-a-kind lens. I honestly cannot. So much love and appreciation to Alyssa!

Alyssa is amazing at what she does. She has a great style and was able to capture our personalities perfectly. My favorite pictures are the candid ones she took. She makes everything look like it's out of a magazine. She is also willing to travel out of state which is great for people like me who don't live in Utah. I am looking forward to using her again in the future. She really is amazing!

Where to begin...Alyssa is the best hands down. She did my entire wedding, and it was BEAUTIFUL. Since my wedding she has done all my family photos including newborn photo shoots and my birth story. Alyssa has always made me feel comfortable and beautiful. You will not be disappointed going with Alyssa Sorenson Photography!

Alyssa helped pick a location that fit what we wanted. She was always on time and well prepared. She was very kind. She makes you feel so good that you are confident in the way you look.
The edited shots came back in a timely manner. I was so impressed with how they looked. She was able to truly capture our personalities and who we are, but made it look amazing. Every time someone goes on my social media pages they comment to me how amazing my wedding pictures are.
I love the pictures and loved my experience with Alyssa!
