Would highly recommend! They did amazing with the family photos, did great with the kids, allowing breaks if we needed. Very professional communication, very helpful in creating timelines, helping us organize the day to make sure we got the photos we wanted and great in finding some amazing places to take photos at our venues. Photos were absolutely breath taking and beautiful. We got almost 1000 photos back that captured every part of our 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.
