Your wedding

should be

about the people,

not the pictures.

That’s why I like to focus on getting the images of your friends and family celebrating with you.

I’ll still capture plenty of beautiful, timeless, portraits – but I don’t want your day to feel like an elaborate photo shoot.

I’ll help you focus on the actual moments as they happen, instead of smiling at the camera every minute of your day.

- Kaitlin & Aleq

“We had almost worked with another wedding photographer that didn’t feel quite like 'us,' but when we met with Alyssa, it immediately felt like we were meeting with an old friend.”

- Jackie & Alex

“When we first met Alyssa, both my husband and I were nervous and felt a little awkward. She was a dream to work with! From our engagement pictures to the actual wedding, it was like we were hanging out with a friend and her camera."

- Laura

“I can sometimes get camera shy, but Alyssa totally guided us through the shoot and by the end of it my husband and I felt like we had made a friend! When we received the photos, we were completely blown away — the pictures were amazing; she perfectly captured our relationship.”

- Jascha & Angela

“Our experience with her didn’t feel so much like we hired her, but more so like she was a close friend, which definitely reduced our nerves at the wedding. We recommend Alyssa to anyone who is looking for a professional with an enormous amount of experience, and someone you’d feel comfortable with. You definitely won’t regret it!”

- Meredith & John

“My husband and I felt a bit awkward going into our engagement photo shoot, but she gave us lots of direction and made us feel great. The wedding was even better! She was totally behind the scenes, did a great job managing her team, and most importantly got beautiful photos of every aspect of the day and night.”

WHAT clients ARE SAYING

WEDDING ALBUMS

forever memories, forever preserved

The truth is, you can’t pass down your Instagram feed to your kids.

This is why in addition to your online gallery with all your photos in digital form, I include a custom heirloom wedding album in every package I offer.

It’s important to me that you’re able to enjoy your favorite wedding photos in a tangible way – not only on a screen.

Your wedding memories will always be right there in one place for you to physically flip through, touch, and share.

I WANT THIS!

But your wedding album will stand the test of time.

Frequently asked Q's

Next Question

How many hours of coverage do I need?

So many factors go into this – this is something we’ll start talking about on our first call, and time can always be added later, too. I want your day to feel relaxed and unhurried, so I always err on the side of more time than less. Most of my clients book packages with 9-10 hours of coverage for typical weddings, but I do offer packages with less time for smaller weddings or elopements.

Will we receive sneak peek photos?

Yes, I’ll send you a preview gallery from your wedding day within 2 weeks of your wedding date.

When will I receive all my photos?

Typically between 8-12 weeks after your wedding date. I take my time editing your photos making sure they’re the best they can be! And I also shoot a good amount of film photos, which take several weeks to get developed.

How many photos will we get?

This varies depending on every wedding, but typically anywhere from 50-100 photos per hour of coverage. I tend to overshoot though, wanting to make sure to get everything – so you’ll usually get the higher end of that! (For example, a 10-hour wedding day includes around 1000 final photos).

Are engagement sessions included in your packages?

Engagement sessions are not included in every package, but they are always an option to add on. Many of my clients are from out of town so it doesn't always make sense to include them!

Do you bring a second photographer with you?

If your wedding has more than 50 guests, I require a second photographer. I will hire a fellow experienced, professional, talented wedding photographer to shoot your day alongside me. It helps make the most of the day (we can be in two places at once and make the most of our time that day) and allows us to get more photos of you and your guests! I also bring a non-shooting assistant along to most weddings – the assistant is there to help with gear, keep us on schedule, gather people for group photos, capture behind-the-scenes footage (which we’ll happily share with you), etc.

Do you offer videography?

No, I don’t – still photos are my thing! But I do know several great videographers to recommend. Check out my Nova Scotia Wedding Vendor Guide to see those!

Do you travel for weddings/engagement sessions?

Yes! I’m based in Halifax, and serve all of Atlantic Canada. I don’t typically take on destination weddings outside of Canada, but make exceptions for clients that seem like the perfect fit. I include 100km of travel for every shoot/wedding, and after that I charge for travel based on the current CRA Mileage Rate. Accommodations are something we work out together – usually the best option is for me to stay wherever you’re having your guests stay for the weekend.

Can we meet before the wedding day?

YES - this is something I suggest anyway! The more we can connect and hang out before your wedding, the more comfortable you’ll be around me – and this results in even better photos in the end!

So let’s meet for coffee or cocktails, check out your venue together, do an engagement shoot, or even just have a few video calls before the wedding to chat through the details.

Can I send you a shot list of photos I want? Or a Pinterest board??

I don’t need a shot list of every single photo you want – it’s my job to capture your day thoroughly and creatively! But I welcome and encourage you to share with me any specific types of photos you like, especially anything that might be out of the norm.

Pinterest boards or inspiration photos are always welcome! We won’t copy any photos directly, but it can be really helpful to know what kinds of photos stop you in your tracks and the general vibe you love.

I can't wait to hear about your wedding plans. Tell me all the things!
