love notes

  • A bride and groom standing close together on a rocky shoreline during autumn, looking at each other lovingly. The bride is holding a bouquet and wearing a flowing white wedding dress, while the groom is dressed in a dark suit.

    Alyssa made us feel so comfortable with her warm and friendly personality! She really pays attention to every detail not only on the day of but also during the planning process. We started the day with her doing my hair which turned out just how I envisioned it! Then when she picked up the camera we went right into the timeline we put together. We were blessed with the perfect fall day and sunset right on Lake Superior and her photos did not disappoint which we received weeks earlier than expected! Alyssa’s work is amazing, you can tell she not only loves what she does but genuinely cares about YOU!

    I did my senior portraits with Alyssa and I'm beyond ecstatic. Not only is she a kind person to work through the creative process with, she helps make you comfortable and happy during the shoot. The entire duration of our time was a wonderful and exciting experience. I can't thank Alyssa enough for listening to my vision and capturing it in her beautiful photographs.

    My boyfriend had planned a simple photo shoot for us and our dogs. I had no idea that it was actually a proposal! My favorite shots are the candid ones. Being able to look at those photos and relive one of the happiest moments of my life is something I’ll treasure forever. Alyssa was lovely to work with, and is very talented at photographing such unforgettable moments. She also took wonderful photos of our two dogs and captured their personalities perfectly! After the shoot, she even printed out some keepsake photos on-site for us to take home. It was the sweetest gift. I’m so glad to have had the chance to work with her!
