i’m alyssa.
your ARTISTIC DOCUMENTARY wedding PHOTOGRAPHER
I’M SO GLAD YOU’RE HERE.
i am based in utah but my work has me documenting stories around the country.
i launched my business in 2015 and graduated with my BFA in photography in 2016.
photography is my passion, and telling human stories through honest photographs is what i’m best at.
i’d be honored to tell your story.
HERE’S WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT ME:
as a photographer…
my sensitivity draws me to connect with you and see what others miss. my intuition allows me to document real moments in a meaningful way. my desire for realness keeps my images feeling true to how moments felt. and my passion for beauty ensures that aesthetics will not be sacrificed in the name of authenticity.
the two are not mutually exclusive!
as a HUMAN…
i like to make people laugh, i like to make things beautiful, and i enjoy depth. scratching the surface of things just doesn’t do it for me. i want to learn everything and feel everything. i see life as an incredibly strange, mesmerizing, heart-wrenching experience that i try to find beauty and humor in. i mean, we are literally hanging out on a planet in outer space. might as well let it all wash over us.
