Every wedding day is unique, which is why I offer collections ranging from 6, 8, and 10 hours of coverage to best fit the needs of your celebration. Whether you're planning an intimate gathering or a full wedding weekend, I'm committed to creating a seamless experience and documenting your day with care.

"Choosing Alayna as our wedding photographer was absolutely one of the best decisions I made for our big day! Her professionalism and communication were evident throughout the entire process. On top of that, she has an incredible amount of talent, passion, and artistic vision that are shown in her work. I would hire Alayna again and again, and I hope to use her for more sessions in the future!"

"I had the pleasure of working with Alayna for our engagement and wedding photos, and I truly cannot say enough good things about her; her talent, her work ethic, as a person: she’s incredible! I had a pretty quick turn around time for everything as when I first started speaking with her I had just gotten engagement and was planning a quick wedding, but she didn’t skip a beat and provided such detailed information as well as all the photos of my dreams for our wedding. Her work is PHENOMENAL! I tell everyone I can how great she is and I will use her in the future for any other life celebrations that I want captured. You will not regret selecting her as your photographer!"

Yes, absolutely! My style is editorial, so I’ll guide you with natural, flattering poses to create those polished, magazine-style shots. At the same time, I love capturing the in-between moments—the laughs, the glances, the real connection—so you’ll get a beautiful mix of both.
I believe in offering fair and transparent pricing for the value and quality you'll receive. While I don't typically offer discounts, I occasionally offer special promotions or limited-time opportunities. Be sure to follow along on social media to stay updated on upcoming offers. Planning a wedding in one of my bucket-list destinations? Visit my About page to view current travel locations that may qualify for reduced travel fees or special destination pricing.
If the forecast isn’t looking great, we’ll keep in touch leading up to your session. I’m always happy to reschedule if the weather won’t allow us to shoot comfortably or safely. That said, a little wind or overcast skies can actually add a lot of mood and magic to your photos—so if you’re up for it, I am too!
I require a 25% deposit to secure your date, along with any applicable travel fees. The remaining 75% is due one month before your wedding or on the day of your session. I’ll send over reminders and make the process as simple and stress-free as possible!
Booking is easy! Simply reach out through my contact form or email, and we’ll chat about your session or wedding details. Once we confirm availability, I’ll send over a contract and an invoice for a 25% deposit to secure your date. Once that’s complete, you’re all set! I’ll guide you through every step along the way.
