Now let's talk about the nitty gritty details. I am all about transparency! It is so important to me that you know exactly what to expect before you decide on a photographer. Once you inquire, you will receive a full pricing guide jam-packed with even more information!
We really can't say enough about how much we enjoyed working with Alyssa but for the sake of brevity, we will highlight just a few of the things that we particularly loved about working with her. We loved how Alyssa worked so closely with us to ensure that we all had a shared vision. We loved how Alyssa was incredibly thorough and professional. We loved how somehow she managed to capture nearly every wonderful memory and vibe of our big day while seemingly blending right into the scene. She provided us with incredibly gorgeous sneak peek photos and videos so quickly after our wedding. We cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She is truly blessed as a photographer and is such a lovely human. - Amy & Noah
Alyssa was an absolute dream to work with! She is so organized and thorough in everything she does. I really can't rave about the photos she took for our wedding enough. I've never felt so confident and beautiful when looking at photos of myself before. I think it takes a truly talented photographer to capture someone so elegantly that they have no choice but to see their own beauty. If I were to get married again, choosing Alyssa as my photographer would be the second-easiest decision to make (after the groom, of course)! - Bryn & Zac
Alyssa is a dream to work with. She will follow your vision and make it work, no matter the challenge. She did our engagement session and wedding pictures and we could not have been any more pleased with the results. From start to finish, Alyssa becomes a friend who wants the best for you. She was incredibly easy to hire for our grooms dinner as well and really will go above and beyond for you as a client. We cannot recommend her enough! - LeaRae & Colin
Alyssa is so kind and talented. We chose her as our photographer for our wedding day and it was the best decision! We had meetings leading up to the wedding to discuss our vision, 'must have' shots, and timeline for the day. I planned my wedding from afar so her organized approach to mapping the day was a lifesaver! On the day of, she arrived early and helped move everything along in the right direction and according to our timeline. The day-of was easy and stress-free. We just received our full gallery back this week and she captured our day perfectly!! We couldn't be happier with the results, our wedding looked as magical as it felt. We can't recommend her enough! - Cianna & Anthony
Alyssa did a fabulous job capturing our engagement and wedding photos, and I highly recommend her. She is prompt in her communications and organized in her work. She listened attentively to our wishes and made it a point to fulfill them on our big day. She is kind, personable, and fun to have around. It rained HARD the day of our wedding, and we had to make many changes to our photography timeline in order to avoid getting drenched. Alyssa was extremely flexible and helped us adjust the schedule while still getting the shots we wanted. We recently got our pictures back, and we absolutely LOVE them! - Amy & Caleb
Alyssa is incredibly thoughtful and goes above and beyond as a photographer. Alyssa was proactive in setting up times to meet via Zoom or chat about the details from the moment we contacted her. She was so organized and even set up a wedding timeline - which actually ended up helping us figure out how we wanted our wedding to go! She was friendly with everyone at our wedding, and made them feel comfortable getting their picture taken. She even sent us sneak peeks right after the wedding and stayed in contact with us afterwards. The quality of her pictures are astounding! Her ideas, the lighting, everything was perfection! We would definitely have our pictures taken by her again! - Alyssa & Soren
Alyssa was just incredible! She was great with communication and very organized. She did both our wedding and engagement photos and we couldn't be more pleased. Not only did Alyssa reach out over various parts of the planning phase to make sure we were good and find out what we were wanting from her services, she also basically became our day-of wedding planner. Alyssa helped make sure everything ran as smoothly as it could and when we did have issues that pushed our schedule, she was very understanding and accommodating. I would highly recommend her for your wedding or any other photography you are needing! - Rachel & Phillip

Your edited, high resolution images will be delivered to you in a private online gallery where you will be able to save, download, and print any photos you'd like. You will have access to this online link for one year.
Absolutely! Feel free to fill out my inquiry form and provide me with some information on what you are looking for. I would LOVE to hop on a video call and give you a custom quote. This is especially important for elopements and intimate weddings.
This mostly depends on how many hours of wedding day coverage you need. I never put a cap or limit on the number of photos I deliver, but a general rule of thumb is about 80 photos per hour (with a mixture of color and black + white images).
I am based out of north central Minnesota, in a small town called Park Rapids. :) I am also available for travel. Near or far, I am always excited to explore new places! Mileage or travel fees may apply.
Trust me, it is completely normal to feel a little uncomfortable or awkward in front of the camera. :) That's why it is so important to me that we build a foundation of trust and friendship. During your session/wedding I will provide you with constant encouragement! I will also share prompts that invite you to interact with your hunny and stir up raw emotions and real laughter.
I usually shoot wedding days by myself, but couples do have the option to add-on a second shooter to their wedding day collection. Price may vary depending on the second shooters experience level, length of the wedding, etc.
Nope! I found that some couples are unable to have an engagement session due to distance, time restraints, etc. However, I still HIGHLY encourage you to book an engagement session if possible. It is the perfect opportunity for us to get to know each other before we spend an entire wedding day together. ;) All of my couples get 50% off of their engagement session!
10000% yes! It is so important to me that I do everything in my power to keep your images safe. This is why I not only shoot on a dual-slot camera with two SD cards, but I also save your photos onto two separate hard drives (one that is extra secure in my fireproof safe)!
