I’ll help you create the wedding day you’ve always dreamed of, while making sure you feel comfortable, confident, and genuinely you in front of the camera.

Alissa and Mike are the most perfect husband-wife duo, and they truly helped make our day flow so seamlessly! Even though it was 100 degrees and 25 mph winds - you wouldn't know it...
from the absolutely gorgeous photos. Alissa was cheerful, upbeat, and organized - making everything go so smoothly. She is all about capturing the essence of your day and who you are as a couple - without hokey, contrived poses - so your love for each other shines through in each image. We would absolutely recommend booking Honey Lens Photography to capture your special day!

Alissa was great to work with. She was flexible with time/place and also took on our unique ideas and rolled with it. She had visions of her own, but took guidance from us as well....
She accomplished capturing our unique wedding in addition to some of the typical moments as well. She provided guidance, suggestions, feedback, and was very responsive. We (actually me) are not photogenic folk, but I looked great in so many more photos than I expected. My only friendly constructive feedback is to ask Alissa to build upon her direction skills in helping poses look good by telling her subjects to "turn this way" "both look at me" "both look away" type of skills. I have no doubt that will come with more experience.
