I'm the photographer who sees you. I'm based in Dayton, Ohio, though I answer the call from anywhere.
At Velvet Hour, I'm all about capturing the magic in the in-between moments — the quiet glances, the soft laughs, the messy, beautiful realness of your story. I believe that photography should feel like you: intentional, warm, and a little cinematic. Whether we're dancing barefoot in the woods, chasing foggy golden light, or leaning into the quiet intimacy of a rainy-day elopement — I'm there to document your love as it truly is.
If you're drawn to rich, moody tones, authentic connection, and storytelling that feels like a warm cup of coffee on a rainy morning — you're in the right place. Let's create something timeless together.
Velvet Hour photos offers breathtaking wedding photography in Fairborn, OH.

Working with Alysa was so fantastic! If I could give more than 5 stars, I absolutely would.
From the very beginning of the planning process, Alysa was helpful, organized, and res...
ponsive. She helped us with the day-of schedule and I'm so thankful that she encouraged us to choose to do a first look. Her guidance made us feel completely comfortable and confident on our wedding day.
On the wedding day, she went above and beyond the call. She knew exactly when to step in and confidently direct my rambunctious family and friends for group photos. She was also playful, fun, and creative which made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She captured not only beautiful portraits, but also so many genuine candid moments throughout the day and into the night. Looking through our photos, we get to relive the wonderful moments that made the day so special.
We received our sneak peek gallery before the end of the week, and we were blown away. The photos were stunning and I might never be able to stop sharing them with friends, family, aquiantances, and any stranger who will let me.
Out of all our wedding vendors, she was truly my favorite to work with. If you're looking for a photographer who is talented, creative, professional, and genuinely invested in making your wedding day special, I cannot recommend her enough. Hiring her was one of the best decisions we made, and I hope this review helps another bride choose her with complete confidence.

Alysa is THE BEST!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She is the kind of photographer that you feel like you can completely be yourself with and makes taking pictures...
fun! Throughout the whole process she was so professional and so easy to communicate with. She made taking pictures feel so comfortable and natural and truly captured the most beautiful moments from our engagement session to our wedding day. I was absolutely in love with all of our pictures and she got our pictures back in a timely manner and I was absolutely in awe when I saw them all! She also did amazing helping us plan out a timeline for our wedding day and made the day go so smoothly and was right there when I needed her for something! She is truly the best!!!

Alysa was literally all we could have ever hoped for in a wedding photographer! From the first meeting with her she was personable and professional. She always wanted to make sure ...
we were on the same page with style and what kind of photos we wanted. On our wedding day she acted almost as another coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed, and she also made sure we were always having fun.
I've gotten so many compliments from our wedding guests and friends who have seen our photos. The photos she took were absolutely perfect, they were exactly what we were looking for and I feel like she captured the mood of the day and our love for each other beautifully!!!
About 3 days after the wedding Alysa calls me to say she's finished our ENTIRE gallery, when I wasn't expecting anything until 8-10 weeks after our wedding date, which I think is what our contract said! I was hoping for a few sneak peeks within a week but she worked overtime because she was proud of her work and wanted to share it with us. Her artistry and drive to share her art was so admirable and we couldn't be more grateful!! I've booked another small photo shoot with her for some more professional photos because I trust her and the way she views things through her lens.
I would hire Alysa time and time again for our wedding photos, as well as literally any other photography work we would need. She's a true artist and an absolute joy to work with!

Alysa has been our photographer from the very beginning — she did our engagement photos, our wedding photos, and we still use her for all of our event photography. She is truly ama...
zing at what she does. Alysa has an incredible eye for capturing genuine, beautiful moments while also making the entire experience feel effortless and fun.
She immediately puts you at ease, which makes such a difference in how natural the photos turn out. On top of her talent, she is absolutely hilarious and will have you laughing from start to finish. Every session feels less like a photoshoot and more like spending time with a friend. We couldn’t imagine trusting our memories with anyone else and recommend her without hesitation.
