I believe wedding photography should feel like you. Honest, joy-filled, and beautifully nostalgic. My role is part calming presence, part hype-girl, and always a storyteller who documents the big emotions and the quiet moments in between. I’m often getting asked at weddings “how long have you known the bride and groom?” - because when I show up to document your wedding day, it really does feel like we’ve been friends forever.  That’s the secret - no awkward posing. No rushing through your day. No missing half your wedding because you were being forced to pose a certain way. Truly just a friend documenting your moments in a way that feels like you -in a way that documents all the little moments and emotions that you value.

"If Alecca isn’t available for your wedding date… change your date. That’s how strongly I feel about her and the work she does..."

Alecca was the epitome of professionalism — prompt, prepared, and so easy to communicate with. she always went above and beyond. Her turnaround time was honestly unreal, and the quality of her work speaks for itself — it’s unmatched.

Alecca captured every single important detail & every single important person. Her eye is extraordinary. I still find new favorite photos in our gallery. She handled tricky lighting situations like a total pro — no weird color casts, no harsh edits, just clean, cohesive, authentic images that tell the story of our day exactly as it felt.

Weddings are stressful — things go wrong. But nothing went wrong with Alecca. She was truly a highlight of the entire experience. She made us feel seen, taken care of, and so genuinely celebrated.

"Alecca has a talent for capturing the raw emotions of the day."

Our families tearing up during the ceremony and the laughter we shared with friends during the reception - these are the moments we'll cherish forever, thanks to her. our family and friends were also very impressed and raved about her for months following. Alecca's professionalism, artistic talent, and genuine warmth made her an integral part of our wedding day. We can't thank her enough for preserving these precious memories, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to any couple seeking a photographer who will capture the essence of their love story!

"If you’re looking for an honorary family member to witness your most important moments, you’ve found her!"

As if her photography didn’t already speak for itself, Alecca brings a professionalism and personal touch to everything she does. In between documenting the most intimate details of your day, she’ll put a drink in your hand, answer all of your grandpa’s questions about her cameras, and be your emergency DJ. There’s truly no limit to what her heart of service can accomplish! We feel so blessed to have had her photograph our wedding day and engagement session, and we are so grateful to know her. Cheers to you, Alecca, and all the love stories you will capture in the years to come!

" cannot say enough wonderful things about Alecca– she was truly my saving grace on the most important day of my life. Alecca has an incredible ability to anticipate every moment"

From the moment she arrived, she wasn’t just there to take pictures – she became my go-to person, my calm in the chaos, and someone who knew exactly what I needed, often before I even said a word.

She had this incredible ability to anticipate every moment – whether it was fixing my hair before a photo, grabbing us a drink during our quiet hour to ourselves, making sure I had a moment to breathe, or gently guiding us through the day when emotions were running high. Her presence was warm, grounding, and absolutely invaluable.

And of course, the photos— Absolutely stunning. She captured not just images, but feelings – all the joy, love, and quiet in-between moments that made our day so special. I’ll treasure them forever. Also, the sneak peeks back within 48 hours were amazing! It was so fun to relive the day while we were on our honeymoon!

If you're lucky enough to book her, know you're not just getting a talented photographer, you're getting someone who will be there for you in every sense. I’m endlessly grateful for her!

"Alecca went above and beyond to make our day absolutely perfect. By the end of the night, she didn’t just feel like our photographer—she felt like our best friend.

Alecca has an incredible way of making you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Her energy and enthusiasm were contagious, and she somehow managed to capture every magical moment while also making sure we were taken care of throughout the night. She even made sure we always had a drink in hand—who does that?!

Her attention to detail and willingness to step in and help out in ways I never expected truly set her apart. Whether it was adjusting my dress, fixing my hair, or helping us navigate the chaos, Alecca was there every step of the way.

The photos she captured are breathtaking, and we can’t stop looking at them. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only give you stunning photos but also feel like a part of your family, Alecca is your girl. I can’t recommend her enough!
