Photography to me is about documenting your love in it's most truest and heartfelt form. I love to blend authenticity and artistry in your galleries capturing all the in between moments and timeless portraits to tell your story. Through balancing intentional direction with space to let your genuine connection unfold. You'll notice the blend of romantic detail, creative artistry, and images that feel as effortless as they do elegant. I want your images to feel authentic, timeless, and filled with emotion that tells your whole story as it was.

Shannon + Nick 

We are so in love with our engagement photos! Alyssa totally nailed our vision and made the whole experience feel natural and fun. We felt instantly comfortable—like we were hanging out with a friend who just happens to be an insanely talented photographer. So easy to communicate with, and truly went above and beyond. Couldn’t recommend her more and can’t wait for our big day!

I can't recommend Alyssa enough! From the moment we met, I just knew we had the same vibe and that she would completely understand the feel we wanted for our wedding day. She's incredibly down to earth and made us feel so comfortable the entire time—which is saying a lot because my husband hates taking photos.
What really stood out was how well she understood my vision. I wanted candid moments—real, emotional, joyful—and she absolutely delivered. She captured everything from the small, personal moments between me and my husband to the genuine interactions with our family and friends—naturally and without feeling staged.
If you're looking for someone who just gets it, who makes you feel comfortable, and who can capture your day in a way that feels authentic and meaningful, Alyssa is 100% that person.

Alyssa was so professional and so easy to communicate! She supported us with multiple recommendations and fixing my hair too, hahaha. She literally saved the day! If you want to feel at home on your wedding day, work with Alyssa. Very good communication and organized! Our day was special and I am grateful we had her by our side.

Based in both Prince Edward Island and Halifax, Nova Scotia. My work is rooted in capturing the moments of your wedding day with honesty and care, so that decades from now you'll hold images that take you back to the soul of it all.
They aren't just photographs but rather the threads that weave together your story, your love, and generations past to present for the ones to come. I love couples who are authentically and unapologetically themselves.
