Alisa was amazing! She made us feel so comfortable and she knew our venue better than anyone. She was a joy to work with!

n front of her camera. She was silly and fun, but also very professional, detail-oriented, and organized. I also appreciated Alisa's honesty around logistics and pricing. She never made us feel like we had to pay extra for unnecessary services. She did not give us an hour limit and stayed with us all day until all the important moments were captured. She is authentic, talented, and so so easy to work with!
I need more than 5 stars to rate this wonderful, and talented photographer. I was lucky enough to watch her work at my sister’s wedding and knew when planning my wedding that Alisa...
had to shoot mine. She is organized, efficient, and energetic. She makes you feel like the most beautiful couple when taking engagement and wedding pictures. Additionally, we had our sneak peek photos 3 days after our wedding!! Not sure of another wedding photographer who does that. I promise, you will not be disappointed when you hire Alisa Garin as a photographer. You are hiring the absolute best!
OMG, where do I even begin? Alisa is the absolute BEST at what she does!!! She made us completely at ease and there was tons of laughing and fun throughout our time with her! This ...
was especially important for my husband because he is not a huge fan of taking pictures.
Our wedding was on 11/11 and she already sent us over 45 STUNNING preview images! Our engagement shoot with her was also a blast! She is such an amazing human being too!
Alisa is an instant friend! She is amazing at what she does and is so easy going that we felt instantly at ease during our engagement pics and our weddings pics. We didn’t have a l...

Alisa was incredible! Absolutely worth the investment. She was so friendly and helpful on wedding day. We love every photo.

On our wedding day, she seamlessly blended into the background, allowing us to be fully present and enjoy the day. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and helped us pose while making it feel so natural.
We wholeheartedly recommend Alisa to anyone seeking a wedding photographer who can capture the magic of their special day.
Thank you, Alisa for being a part of our wedding journey and for providing us with lifelong memories that we will treasure forever!

s fun and makes the process so easy! You only get your wedding day once and she captured every moment! We ended up with over 800 pictures! We had so many people come up to us to ask how we found her cause she was great! I will 100% hire her again to do pictures in the future when we have kids!
Alisa was the best to work with!! She did both our engagement photos and wedding, and we are so happy with how the photos turned out! She got our full album to us quicker than expe...
cted, and even had a few sneaky peaks for us the day after our wedding. She even surprised us with a picture from earlier in the day at our dinner table on the wedding night. Her communication throughout the whole process was great and we are so happy we chose her as our photographer!
I cannot recommend Alisa enough!! She is so kind, professional, thorough, and organized! She is so fun and took all of the stress away on my wedding day! She captured our wedding d...

She captured every single little detail of our day! She truly is one in a million and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone! We love you Alisa! Thank you for making our day absolutely perfect!
Alisa did an absolutely amazing job with our engagement photos so we asked her to do our wedding pictures. She is communicative and a wonderful combination of professional and fun!...
It was easy to capture natural pictures when your photographer is making it a good time. Aside from the experience, the outcome and pictures are absolutely breathtaking. I highly recommend Alisa for any professional photograph needs you have! I look forward to working with Alisa on family pictures one day.
Alisa was wonderful to work with, and the pictures turned out better than I could have ever imagined. I told Alisa prior to my wedding day what I did and did not want in the photo...
s, and she executed my wishes perfectly! Importantly, she stuck to our incredibly tight timeline, which involved taking photos at several locations throughout the Pittsburgh area and capturing two different ceremonies. And she wasn't pushy--she balanced efficiency with kindness, and made everyone feel comfortable and relaxed. Alisa provided very clear direction and was professional and responsive throughout the entire process. I am not sure how we will pick which photos to print because we truly love them all!
Working with Alisa made my wedding so stress free and AMAZING!!! She took the most incredible pictures, was fun to work with and genuinely cared about my family and I. Every single...
person I talk to from my wedding mentions how wonderful the photographer was.
Not to mention all the amazing photos she took. Looking through our album I laughed, cried and was able to relive my entire day all over again. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you Alisa!!! ❤️❤️

Oh my gosh I wish I could give her more than 5 stars!!! Alisa is such a sweet person through a through. She's uplifting, patient, funny, just everything you could want and more in ...
your photographer! She's done my engagement and wedding pictures thus far! She made the whole experience more than amazing! She was extremely accommodating when it came to my large family. She made my husband and I feel like models even! And we just had the best time with her! We are both very awkward people and aren't fans of attention on ourselves but she made the whole experience fun and the pictures turned out phenomenally! I couldn't be happier with our time with her and the result! She's a true artist! I seriously can't recommend her enough!!
There are too many amazing things to say about Alisa and too many reasons why I would recommend her to any couple looking to document their special day to list in a short paragraph...
but here are a few!
1. How personable she is- my husband and I are NOT the photo-type people but we couldn’t believe how Alisa’s warm and happy demeanor put ourselves at ease and allowed us to enjoy every picture! She made everyone in our wedding party laugh!
2. Creative instinct/attention to detail- she made our vision come to life and had so many personalized recommendations for our venue from her experience working there before! Even more importantly- the photos turned out better than I ever could have imagined! everyone who has seen the photos so far have nothing but amazing things to say about them. She captured every part and moment of the day that I would want to remember!
3. Amazing communication- whether it was by text, email or phone call, Alisa always kept us in the loop very early on, throughout the entire planning process and up til the AM of our wedding. She responded quickly and promptly to every one of her emails.
Alisa was absolutely amazing to work with. She is extremely bubbly and welcoming – the perfect personality for a wedding photographer. She made us feel so comfortable in front of t...
he camera, and captured AMAZING shots. We had a large shot list, and she was not at all intimidated. Her second shooter, Hannah, was also amazing. Such great people to work with. Alisa was extremely responsive to my questions as well, which I appreciated. She includes an engagement session in your package, so we got to work with her for a whole year. I am absolutely obsessed with our pictures. Highly recommend!
Alisa is hands down the BEST photographer for all your wedding needs! We first met Alisa for our engagement photos and she was nothing short of amazing! My husband does not like to...
be in front of the camera…ever. Alisa immediately made him feel comfortable and now he LOVES to have his photo taken! I definitely recommend having Alisa take your engagement photos prior to your wedding day photos. It was a great opportunity to get to know each other and get comfortable with posing. Throughout the entire planning process, Alisa was extremely helpful and so detail oriented and took the stress off my plate. Alisa truly was like having family with us on our wedding day. Our photos are absolutely amazing and something we will cherish forever, thanks to Alisa. Her professionalism, obvious talent and true love for what she does clearly shows and I couldn’t have picked a better person to capture so many beautiful moments that we will cherish forever. Look no further, Weddings by Alisa will be the best decision you make!
My husband and I got married in May 2022 and are so grateful that Alisa was a part of our day. I had been following Alisa on social media for sometime and when we got engaged, I kn...
ew I had to contact her! Alisa was the one and only photographer we contacted about our wedding day. After our initial phone call with her, we both looked at each other and said we couldn’t contact anyone else! Alisa made us feel so comfortable and captured our relationship and wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. Our pictures are so beautiful and we cannot thank her enough for the gift of memories to pass along through our family. Alisa’s happy and outgoing energy is contagious and she makes you feel so relaxed in front of the camera. My husband hates getting his picture taken but was SO excited to work with Alisa for our engagement and wedding pictures. We have received so many compliments on our photos and I honestly cannot stop looking through them! I highly recommend Alisa to anyone who wants light and airy wedding photos with a photographer who makes you genuinely laugh while taking pictures!
I cannot even find the words to express how amazing Alisa was! My fiance and I love to keep things light and fun and that's exactly Alisa's style! Not only is she talented and fun,...
but she immediately put everyone at ease, and was patient with our boisterous extended family. She was incredibly professional throughout not only with us, but with the other vendors and our venue. Alisa was very clear throughout the process of her services, plans for our day, and setting expectations. I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone who needs photography services. In short, Alisa is simply a delight!
Alisa is an absolutely amazing photographer! Alisa photographed our rehearsal dinner and wedding day. Not only are the photos beautiful, but Alisa goes above and beyond for her cli...
ents. Our wedding day was hot and Alisa literally dried the sweat off of my body throughout the day! (Sorry about that)! And, I truly felt like she fit right in with my family and friends. Thank you, Alisa!!
Alisa is fantastic! We hired her for our engagement photos and to be our wedding day photographer and loved her work! She and her assistant kept us smiling, laughing, and relaxed t...
hroughout everything and helped to capture one of the best days of our lives. She was also great in dealing with two unforeseen venue changes during the planning process, and made everything happen on our wedding without issue. Personable and professional, we would definitely recommend her to anyone in need of a photographer!
Alisa was phenomenal. Our wedding day she made us so comfortable in front of the camera and gave us a sneak peek literally a day after the wedding. We can't wait to see more and HI...
GHLY recommend Alisa! Her assistant was amazing as well.
Highly recommend Alisa! She did an amazing job with both our engagement and wedding photos. The engagement session was included with our wedding contract as she felt that we should...
get acquainted with each other and used to the process. I was worried about being uncomfortable posing for photos as I usually feel awkward doing so. Alisa made us feel so at ease and made taking engagement pictures fun! She was also extremely flexible and accommodating. We were married at the end of June and the bridal party’s “hair and makeup” had to be moved from the hotel to the salon due to newly implemented COVID restrictions. Alisa went with this change, as well as others required, and made these changes seamlessly. She is so sweet, kind, and funny! She took every combination of pictures we wanted! She also took amazing candid photos throughout the night. She has an amazing eye and the pictures came out more beautiful than I could have even imagined. I highly recommend her to anyone!
I cannot say enough good things about Alisa Innocenti!! She has been fantastic to work with since the first time we met her! We knew after talking to her a few minutes that we want...
ed her to be our wedding photographer. She is super personable and made us feel comfortable both during our engagement session and our wedding day! She also made me feel stress free during the wedding day! She is very professional and easy to get ahold of. We also love her candid style of capturing moments! All of her photos have been absolutely amazing. I cannot recommend Alisa enough!!
Seriously no words to describe how amazing and incredible Alisa is. Quickest easiest most wonderful decision to hire her. Look no further for the greatest photographer...
I can’t say enough good things about Alisa! From our first meeting to our wedding day, Alisa made the entire process so effortless and fun! My husband and I loved her from the mome...
nt we met and just knew we had to work with her. We’re not used to being in front of the camera, like most couples, but she made us feel so comfortable and confident. Alisa’s personality is reason alone to hire her. She’s so warm and welcoming that we felt like we’d known her for years! Her work speaks for itself and we were absolutely thrilled with how our engagement and wedding photos turned out! Not only does she take amazing photos, her turnaround time is insane. I’m talking hundreds of wedding photos within 2 weeks! Her process is incredibly user friendly and you can access everything through an app or website. You can even order your favorites directly from the link she sends. Bonus, your photos are available for 10 years! Alisa is also a wealth of knowledge when it comes to other vendors. Thanks to her, we got connected with our DJ and videographer! If you’re looking for high quality photos from the best photographer (with an even better personality), please look no further. Be sure to contact Alisa soon because she’s definitely in high demand! Thank you again for making our day that much more perfect!
It's been 6 months since my wedding....but I wanted to make sure to leave Weddings by Alisa a nice review because my experience with her was fantastic!
I originally spoke to Alisa...
on the phone approximately 9 months before our wedding. I wasn't sure what we would talk about given that I didn't really have any specific ideas of what I was looking for...but we ended up speaking for about 1 hour. In that time, I described how we were having trouble finding our ceremony venue since we were planning from out of town. Alisa took the liberty of emailing me an extensive list of Catholic churches and the distance they were from our reception venue (which was already booked). All this before I even officially hired her! I also liked that she didn't place a time limit on her services. Many of the other photographers I spoke to offered packages by the number of hours and that made me nervous....how would I know how many hours it would take for us to get all of the photos we wanted?
Otherwise, the experience leading up to the wedding was very easy. Alisa was there for questions when I needed her and was there for suggestions on photo locations given that she was more familiar with our wedding location than I was.
The day of the wedding, Alisa and her second shooter Kristin made the photo process as fun and as non-awkward as possible. During both the ceremony and reception, they managed to blend into the crowd while still capturing some amazing photos...I had forgotten they were even there! Once we got our photos back approximately 1 month after the wedding, my husband and I spent about 2 hours going through them all. 6 months later I've yet to make an album because the photos are all so fantastic I'm having a hard time choosing which ones I want!
If I had to go back and start all over, I wouldn't hesitate to choose Weddings by Alisa for my wedding photographer again.
Alisa’s shots speak for themselves in terms of quality/composition and you can easily find hundreds of beautiful examples of her work online. Take a look. Let’s talk about things y...
ou can only witness in person, such her amazing work ethic.
I have never seen a photographer work as hard as Alisa, with such a focused dedication to get every single shot we wanted from our wedding, from start to finish. Her flexibility allowed to her accommodate any and all changes in plans on the day of. She cares deeply about customer satisfaction. She’s also smart about coordinating with other vendors and venue staff as the day flies by. She will keep you on track while somehow managing to be everywhere at once.
Then there’s her personality which is, in a word, delightful. Your photographer is going to be with you for most of your wedding day so it’s worth choosing someone whose company is enjoyable.
We hired a wedding photographer and ended up with a good friend. I hope you will be able to say the same after your big day.
I cannot say enough great things about Alisa! From the first meeting we had with her, she was extremely excited and on point with everything. She is very organized and great at wha...
t she does! From the planning process to the day of the wedding, she was always there to answer all of our questions and was such a calming presence on such a busy day. It rained all morning on the day of our wedding, but Alisa reassured me that everything would be fine and her calm and positive attitude put me at ease. Thanks to her expertise and suggestions, we were still able to take amazing pictures outside! Alisa was so fun and energetic to be around on the wedding day and also during our engagement session. She made us feel very comfortable and had us laughing the whole time. We are thrilled with how the photos came out! She captured our day perfectly and we are so happy to have the photos to look back on for years to come!
I cant even begin to describe how happy we are to have chosen Alisa as our wedding photographer. One thing most people don't take into account is that your photographer will be wit...
h you from start to finish on your big day. Make sure it is someone you are comfortable being with all day! Alisa was soo much fun to not only work with, but just to be with the whole day. She was fun, bubbly, goofy while still remaining professional and doing an awesome job capturing every (and I mean EVERY) moment of our wedding. I never felt awkward with her telling us how to pose or to smile or "act like you like each other"! lol The quality and quantity of photos we received were above and beyond my expectations. I loved each and every photo. She really captured key moments for us. She was a saving grace dealing with some of my concerns with our bridal party (getting 18 people to focus is a lot harder than it sounds). I can literally go on for hours about how much I love her. If I could have another wedding just to work with her again I totally would :)
amazing photographer and wonderful person to have around on a special day. The pictures of our daughter's wedding were breathtaking!!!!!!
Alisa did a fabulous job on our engagement pics and was great to work with for the wedding. Worth the money!
From our first meeting we knew that Alisa was the right photographer for us. Her upbeat, kind, and positive personality really helps to ease any stress or anxieties you may have. S...
he could sense in the week or so leading up to my wedding that I was basically a ball of stress, and she really did whatever she could to help me relax - even if that meant running little errands like finding and delivering the bouquets. She really went above and beyond for us and even though we don't have all of our wedding pictures yet, the few previews we have seen are amazing and we couldn't be happier!
I can't believe I'm just getting around to writing this! I chose Alisa because of how real/authentic her photos were. Her style matched our style. We wanted to remember the day ...
exactly as it was and Alisa's photography delivered! She captured all our requests and then some. Once the dancing got started we lost track of her but she didn't lose track of us or our Guests! There were awesome photos to capture all the moments through the end of the night. It you want a natural, in the moment snap shot of your day, she will deliver! Along with all the posed photos you need./want. :)
Alisa was the perfect photographer. She is creative behind the lens and makes sure the timeline is laid out, gets every picture you requested and makes things work. She was absolut...
ely wonderful, and I couldn't even imagine having a better photographer. She was also a calm presence on a day so filled with action--she helped calm my nerves and made sure I was happy every minute.
My husband hates taking pictures. HATES TAKING PICTURES. Won't smile, turns his head, closes his eyes - I'm sure some of you feel my pain. Have no fear, Alisa is here. I presen...
ted her with a laundry list of requests: Original locations, nothing cheesy, fun candid pics & oh yeah, good luck photographing my husband...Not only did she accept the challenge - she nailed it!! Somehow Alisa managed to capture the most tender, beautiful and loving candid photos of us...And even a smile or two! Our pictures turned out absolutely gorgeous - even he loves them. Let me repeat that, even Mr. "No Pictures" loves them. On a serious note, I cannot recommend Weddings by Alisa enough. Our albums beyond exceed everything I have dreamed of and we are so fortunate to have shared our Wedding Day with her - I wouldn't trust our memories with anyone else. Congratulations and best wishes to you on your upcoming nuptials! xxoo
Alisa was incredible to work with from day 1. She is so fun and easy going and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Not to mention, her work is beautiful. We love Al...

I feel very comfortable in front of the camera! She was great in answering all of my questions leading up to the big day! I would absolutely recommend Alisa to all of my friends!
From our first meeting with Alisa my husband and I knew she was right for us. Thank goodness we started planning our wedding 2 years in advance because she is in high demand! I fel...
l in love with Alisa’s work while browsing through her wedding blog-go check it out, no doubt you will too! The week before the wedding Alisa met with me to discuss the last minute details and really got me excited for our big day she was also always available via email. On our wedding day she was on time and felt like part of the wedding party. She is very active on social media so she was already familiar with my bridal party; that made for a very warm and comforting feeling rather than feeling like a stranger. Her second shooter, Tristan, spent the morning with my husband and his family to capture moments I would have otherwise never seen. Alisa played a very special role on my wedding day. Yes, she was my photographer, but she also got me to my ceremony on time. There was a mix-up with the bus company and long story short: she paid for the taxi that got THE ENTIRE bridal party (maids, flower girl, BRIDE) to the wedding on time, she saved our day! As I enjoyed my wedding day Alisa and Tristan made sure that the very long list of “must have photos” were taken care of. They stayed at the reception the entire evening, our DJ quit playing music and our vendor was clearing the tables and Alisa and Tristan were still there with us making sure to capture every last detail. Alisa and Tristan were not intrusive and didn’t make me feel like I was on a photo shoot, they simply captured our wedding and every detail while I enjoyed the day with my husband, family and friends. Browse through her blog, there is no doubt that you will be happy with the investment. My family loved them as mush as we did!
