The AJP Wedding Experience
Welcome to
Authentic and Story-Driven Photography for Weddings and Elopements
You want natural and authentic wedding photos
you know, the photos that aren’t too overly posed (but oh so pretty!)
You want to feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera. You might be lighthearted and fun, but you for sure know you don't want cheesy photos (There is 100% a fine line if you know you know). You also want to work with someone you like! (Who doesn't?!)
Here's the good news, I can help you get what you want!
Tell me how!
Here's how I give you an awesome wedding experience!
1) By guiding you through posing
2) By Helping you come up with the perfect timeline
3) By capturing alllll the candids
I’ll guide you through shooting and help make you feel relaxed and natural in front of the camera! No need to be a pro model! We aren't going for cheesy or overly serious around here, this is a fun experience and I want to capture you and your fiancé's personality!
I’ve found that when couples are relaxed and comfortable, the photos turn out like nothing else! You can’t fake emotion y'all.
All of these gorgeous photos don't just happen on their own!! Almost every gorgeous photo no matter how fun and spontaneous still requires a bit of planning! (Couples don't just happen to end up in the most perfect field for sunset photos 😉)
I make sure to help you stay organized and on time with your photos so we can capture all those moments you want!
I'm NOT here to just push for pretty portraits and not worry about the rest of the day. No, I'm here to capture the hugs, the laughter, the crazy dancing, and the quiet beautiful moments.
Your wedding is more than just portraits and pretty decor! It's a celebration and it deserves to be captured in an authentic way!
Real quick, whose in charge here?
That'd be me! Alyssa!
I'm based in NC but I travel world wide! I'm always on the lookout for real laughs, meaningful glances, and real tears (don't worry only the good kind!)
I photograph both large weddings and intimate elopements. My goal is to tell your wedding story no matter how you chose to celebrate!
I want to tell that story in a natural and authentic way. (While having a lot of fun too! 😊)

The best way to have an amazing wedding experience is to make sure everyone is on the same page. So before anything is made official I always make sure to have a conversation with you.
I love hearing how you met, what your dreams are for your wedding, and what you are most excited about on your wedding day!
I also want to get to know you (and let you get to know me!) because I'm the vendor who is with you most of the day. (Which means we better like each other just a bit 😉)
This whole process let's us know if we'll be the right fit for eachother.

I'm here to help you know what to wear for your engagement session, throw out some vendor referrals, and help you make sure your timeline is photography friendly!
Even if you have a wedding planner I'm here to make sure the photography side is taken care of.
Being in this industry means I've learned a lot about weddings (and been to a lot of weddings) so I'm happy to share everything I know.
If you are eloping then I want to give any advice on locations, time of day, and timeline suggestions!

Wedding Advice

I believe engagement sessions are so important! Why? Because they are an amazing way to practice being in-front of the camera and it's the first time we get to work together!
Engagement sessions can done anytime before the wedding. Whether that's right after the proposal or right before the wedding is up to you!
I help you plan the session based on the "look" you are after. That could be a preppy city session, a causal country look, or a cozy home session. The possibilities are endless!

Before your wedding we'll start talking wedding day timeline, family formal groups, and any other wedding details you want me to know.
Details can be discussed at any point in the planning process, just reach out and let me know!

Your photos will be delivered three weeks after your wedding via an online gallery.
If the collection you've chosen comes with an album that will be delivered as well. If you have not chosen to create an album, we can send information on how to get that process started.
The Process
Photo Delivery
"I'm only sad our time together is done!"
"Alyssa and her team were my favorite vendor I had at my wedding! She was so easy to work with, made my camera shy husband feel very comfortable, was totally on board with my desire to include my cats in my day. It was cold and POURING rain on my wedding day and she still managed to make my wedding pictures look like it was beautiful and sunny!"
"We had a blast with Alyssa! Would recommend to anyone (even if they didn’t ask!)"
"Alyssa is great! We had so much fun during our engagement session and she did such a great job directing us on what to do and editing the pictures! We absolutely love our photos! She even helped us choose our location since we we coming from out of state and she chose such beautiful locations!"
"She helped us brainstorm ideas on where to do our photos and gave us a list of ideas"
"We were able to just show up that day and she coached us on poses; she delivered our photos on-time (they were beautiful and we got dozens of them); and she even sent a sweet bridal care package to me after all was said and done! If you want a photographer who really cares about your special day and is just a genuinely great person to work with, choose Alyssa. :)"

FAQ
How many photos are typically delivered and can we print photos ourselves?
I typically deliver between 500-900 photos for weddings starting at 6 hours (the general rule is the more hours I am there and shooting the more photos you get).
And yes! You have a print release that allows you to print wherever you'd like. However I do offer high quality printing options right from your gallery if you would like to use that.
