Fleeting, Real, Unrehearsed

Somewhere between the portraits and the party, the real day takes on a life of its own. And I’ve done this long enough to know how to find it, navigate what’s happening around it, and leave you free to take it all in.


Here’s what that actually looks like on a wedding day.

Natural Connection Without Performance



With me, you'll never feel like you're on a stage. I show up as a real person. Pay attention to what the moment actually needs. Guide when it helps, and step back when it doesn't. Connection unfolds naturally, and so do the photos.

Notice Everything Energy



The best moments aren't scripted, they're already happening. I'm not glued to the main event. I'm drifting, listening, catching what's happening off to the side because that's where the good stuff lives.

Shape Shifting In A Good Way



The day never has to bend around me. I read the room and adjust in real time. I blend into moments, step in when things stall, and match the energy when it helps the day keep moving.

Honest, Refined Artistry



Your gallery will reflect your vision, not mine. I don't rearrange the room or chase a look. Instead, I shoot what's already beautiful about it, then refine just enough to amplify what mattered.

Steady Is My Default



You won't have to wonder if everything is under control. I respond quickly, know your timeline before I arrive, work closely with your planner, and deliver your gallery on time every time.

Alaynna is everything we could have ever wanted in a photographer and more! She is so, so talented, and our photos turned out absolutely incredible. Everyone we spoke to throughout the day commented on how amazing she was. She made the entire day flow so easily and was there to pick up the pieces when things didn’t exactly go according to plan. RIP Cannoli Cake LOL. We’re so thankful for everything she did to make sure our day felt special. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better photographer or experience!

FAQ

 

What is your photographic style?

For the most part I would say my shooting style has roots in photojournalism - I like to capture moments in time that feel organic and natural. Not everyone feels comfortable in front of a camera, so even when I pose people I like to lend a helping hand in direction by leading with prompts, not forced posing.

My editing style is bounces back and forth from film simulation to bold, colorful, and moody. Ultimately though, it will depend on how my subject makes me feel in the moment. I like to think my editing reflects back on what my clients and I felt during our session!

I'm awkward and not photogenic. Help!

I hear this at the start of almost every shoot I do.

The short response is - no you're not! You just haven't met the right photographer. That's where I come in.

We'll work together to break down your walls and ensure that you get the best possible images of your natural self. If you're insecure and timid, talk to me! I want to get to know you and make you feel comfortable. By the end of your shoot it should feel like you were simply hanging out with a friend for an hour or two - and by then we will be!.

How long does it take to receive our images? How many do we get?

For all lifestyle sessions your images take about 2-3 weeks to process. You can expect between 50-80 images, depending on the length of our session.

Wedding galleries are generally delivered within 6-8 weeks in the slower months, and 8-10 weeks during peak season (July-November). You'll also receive a sneak peek within a few days of your big day!

Do you photograph newborns?

I only photograph in-home newborn sessions for past wedding clients. If I shot your wedding, I'll be there for the next great adventure!

Can I make additional editing requests after I receive my images?

Images in your gallery include light retouching and color/tone editing. Tone and color editing is indicative of my particular preference as an artist, and cannot be altered after they are delivered as it would not be an accurate reflection of my published work. Additional fine retouching requests can be made for hair, skin, background, and other alterations for an additional $20 per image.

What kind of gear do you use?

I shoot with two Canon R6 mirrorless bodies with dual memory card slots.

Additionally I am equipped with the following lenses & lighting equipment:

  • Canon RF 35mm f/1.8
  • Sigma Art 50mm f/1.4
  • Canon 135mm f/1.8
  • Tamron 70mm-200mm f/2.8
  • Canon L Series 28mm-70mm f/2
  • 3 Godox V860II Speedlights
  • Magmod Magnetic Flash System
Do you travel?

Absolutely! I love destination weddings. I’ve had the opportunity to photograph weddings across the country, including locations like New York City, Tennessee, Kentucky, Georgia, and Chicago.

If you’re planning a destination wedding, I’d love to hear all about it. When you inquire, be sure to include your location and travel details, and I’ll let you know my availability. I’m always excited to document celebrations in new and meaningful places.

Are you LGBTQ+ Friendly?

Absolutely. Love is love, and all couples are welcome here.

I proudly photograph weddings for couples of all backgrounds, identities, and beliefs, including LGBTQ+ couples, and have extensive experience documenting same-sex weddings. My approach is rooted in inclusivity, respect, and creating a space where every couple feels comfortable, celebrated, and fully themselves.

No matter who you are or how you love, you deserve to have your story documented authentically.
