I'm Alyssa, a NC based wedding and senior photographer who is crazy about storytelling (and my cat). Grab a snack and get comfy! It's time to check out my past work, photography education, and travel adventures!

Welcome to the Blog!

Hey there!

Welcome to the 1st post in my venue Spotlight Series! This 1st post will be on The Barn of Chapel Hill. As a wedding photographer, I visit a lot of wedding venues! Between actually shooting there, or going for events, it’s a lot of venues. So I figured I would start a series about different […]

Venue Spotlight: The Barn of Chapel Hill

This Southern Pines engagement session is one of my favorites so far! I’m a little biased though because this session was with my college roomie and her now fiance! Tyler and Carolina met in college and after watching them together we (the other roomies) thought that they would be really cute together.  It took the […]

Ok everyone just a heads up I am TERRIBLE at posting travel content. So this adventure actually took place back in March and I did post a little bit about this trip (which you can see here) BUT I never did go through and show all the pictures! Which there are quite a few of […]

NYC Adventure: The Full Story

Who would have thought that rain on a wedding day would actually make a wedding feel more cozy and wonderful than not? Rebecca and Tony’s wedding at The Parlour at Manns Chapel was a wonderful way to end my wedding season. It was beautiful, cozy, and just completely full of their personalities.  You might remember […]

Rebecca + Tony Cozy Fall Wedding

Salena and Mike’s lovely fall farm wedding was an absolute dream! Salena told me during their engagement session (which you can find here) that she wanted beautiful clean colors and a cozy fall feel. And I really think that’s what she got! Their wedding was at The Catlett Farm and it was amazing to see […]

The background Ok, so this is a session I’ve been looking forward to posting basically since we finished it! I want to go into a little background for how it came to be!  So a few months ago I got an Instagram message from Meg introducing herself and her fiance Suyong. She explained that they […]

Ebony and Bendrick’s wedding was an absolute dream! When I first arrived at the Carolina Barn, I was just blown away by how pretty everything was. Her planner Debbie (of Debbie Bender Design) did an absolutely amazing job with all the decor.  The day was filled with so much love and so many cute moments. […]

So if you remember Michelle and Kenzie’s engagement session (click here to see it) Then you know they were one of the sweetest and most adorable couples I’ve had. I’m so glad that I was able to shoot their wedding! It was 10 times more heartfelt and cute (if you can believe that!) then their […]

Michelle + Kenzie An Early Fall Outdoor Wedding

Ok, so I have never laughed so much and had so much fun during an engagement session ever. Tony and Rebecca were the absolute cutest and funniest together! I’ve been excited about this NC engagement session for a while! Why? because when I first met Rebecca she said she wanted to have her cats featured […]

Rebecca + Tony NC Engagement Session

This beautiful church wedding was the kick-off to my fall 2019 wedding season and it was such a great way to start off! Josh and Oriana are two of the sweetest people! They are kind, understanding, and full of love for both their friends and family. During their wedding, I saw so many people come […]
