First off, I want to start by saying that Alyssa has not shot our wedding yet. We are going to get married April 2015. So far, this review is only in regards to our correspondences up till now as well as our recent engagement shoot this past Sunday. So I did a ton of research before I hired Alyssa. Among thirty other photographers from Ventura county as well as Orange County, I decided she was the best suited for my fiancé and me. She will try her best to work with you to create a customized package you are happy with. Her prices are reasonable and competitive. Plus, my wedding will be in Fullerton, CA and she agreed to travel there to shoot it. Alyssa's also great at corresponding to emails and will usually reply to your emails within 24 hrs, give or take. Her vision is very modern, candid, and artsy. She's great with lighting and has a very unique vision. She literally can turn brick walls and plain grassy patch into a vision of art and beauty. I would say her style is very nature based. Her turn around time seems pretty fast as well. I believe it's 4 weeks (or shorter!) for engagements and 8 weeks (or shorter hopefully!) for weddings. I asked for my pup to be in a couple of the pictures with us and Alyssa was happy to do so. She was patient with my dog who took some time to settle down and was happy to hold treats in her hand if she needed to. Either way, I'm happy with her work so far. I will keep you guys posted after the wedding although I'm sure my rating will remain the same. read more

Alyssa Armstrong Photography - Grant Park, Ventura - Event Photography Near Me

Alyssa photographed my wedding in December of last year, and although she is the only wedding photographer I've ever had, I can't imagine anyone else doing a better job. She and her assistant were sweet, friendly, and exceedingly accommodating to my husband and me despite our busy schedule and hectic wedding day. She was in touch with me early on in the process and was eager and excited to get to know my husband and me. She makes it her priority to get to know each couple in order to provide photos with a unique and personal touch. The photos she took are among the most beautiful I've seen, and definitely the best photos that have ever been taken of me. They are stylish and modern, and suit my husband and me perfectly. I have seen a lot of wedding photos recently, planning a wedding and all, and most of them are boring, generic, and un-artful. Alyssa's photos are each unique and beautifully composed. She had top-notch equipment and took lovely photos in all different types of lighting. She was on time, professional, and helped me through my camera shyness. I really can't recommend her enough! Just look at the photos for proof of her talent! read more

Alyssa is an outstanding wedding photographer! She photographed our wedding at a park in the Pacific Palisades in September 2017. We are so grateful for her beautiful talent, her professionalism and attention to detail and our requests, and her kindness. From our initial meeting to our engagement photo session to the wedding day itself, her work was fantastic. Our wedding photos turned out so incredibly beautiful; it's hard to put into words how much they mean to us. The entire process of working with Alyssa was a pleasant one, including her flexibility, thoughtful client gifts, and interactions with people on our wedding day. So many family members told us how lovely our photographer was! Alyssa's photos are stunning, and she is a wonderful person. read more

Where do I start!? Alyssa is absolutely amazing to work with. So amazing, that my fiance and I signed the contract at our first meeting with her- as we knew we wouldn't be meeting with any other photographers. She shot my fiance and I's engagement photos in March, and they were breathtaking. My fiance is very camera shy, and I was so pleasantly surprised with how natural he looked in all of the photos. Alyssa took time to scout locations, and didn't rush anything on the day of the shoot. She made us feel as comfortable as possible, and I feel she really went above and beyond that day. We are so excited to have her shoot our wedding in September, and can't wait to see the shots she will come up with! If you are looking to work with an easy going, fun, creative, budget friendly, and last but not least, AMAZING photographer- Alyssa is your girl! As a coordinator in the wedding and event industry, she will definitely be on my recommended vendor list! read more

Alyssa was our lead photographer at our July 27, 2013 wedding in Santa Barbara and we can say without any reservations, she was amazing. She took the time in the months before the wedding to get to know us, our story, and how we wanted our special day to be captured so we can relive it again and again. What resulted was nothing short of perfection - she not only made us and our guests look as beautiful and happy as we remember, but also the vivid colors and depth of her perspective captured the gorgeous venues. Her photographs confirmed exactly why we picked where and when, but also why we picked her to be such an important part of our wedding team. She was on point every step of the way, never leading us to wonder, ask, or wait. If you are considering a Santa Barbara wedding and like getting to know someone who truly cares about capturing your big day in the way you dream, consider Alyssa Armstrong. --- Here's a sneak peak as to how she capture our big day: http://www.weddingchicks.com/2014/03/12/santa-barbara-yellow-and-gray-wedding/ read more

Alyssa Armstrong photographed our wedding and we couldn't be happier! Alyssa was with us throughout the entire day. She was very positive and friendly to everyone and you can tell that she really enjoys what she does. The photos beautifully tell a story of the entire day. I am BEYOND happy with them. They are so bright and cheerful, full of such vivid colors, and you can see so many genuine reactions on everyone's faces. She captured so many perfect moments - especially at the ceremony. Honestly, I was completely unaware that there was even a photographer there during the whole thing. Of course I was caught up in the moment staring at my groom, but she's so good at not distracting anyone! I am super impressed with her creativity. For example - I got ready at a house in the middle of the desert. I wanted photos of my dress hanging but there was no greenery or pretty areas around what-so-ever. I am so impressed how she hung the dress in a doorway and photographed it through the view of curtains on each side. I thought it would be impossible but she made the photos look amazing! Overall, Alyssa is really creative when it comes to making anything/anybody look amazing. Her personality shines and she just makes everyone feel comfortable. I also really love what she does with lighting. Her photos are just plain magical. I 100% recommend her to everyone. read more

We worked with Alyssa for our June 20, 2015 wedding and met her prior to that day in our engagement shoot - she is incredible! The broad views of nature and close-ups, use of light, and overall feeling of the photographs from both events are breathtaking. She selected incredibly beautiful sites for our wedding party and "first look" shots at our wedding ceremony venue (SBCC), including massive trees and bridgeways to shoot that worked with how bright the day was. More importantly, when she's shooting she made us - two people who are not photographed often (we're not especially shy, just not used to being in front of cameras and not big selfie/picture takers) - feel really relaxed and comfortable. read more

Where do I start! Alyssa is THE BEST. She is so easy going, personable, comfortable to be around and so so sweet! We met her out in Joshua Tree for a couples shoot and had so much fun. We got the photos back yesterday and we are IN.LOVE. They are gorgeous and perfectly capture us. Love her and would recommend her to anyone for a wedding, engagement, couples shoot etc. Can't say enough - she has a gift! - Carling + Kit read more

Alyssa is AH-MAZING. She is so fun to work with her and she produces BEAUTIFUL photos. We are obsessed with her work and can't wait to continue working with her. read more

Alyssa did my engagement photos a few months ago. My fiancé and I are in the film/television world, so we are very comfortable behind the camera but never in front of the lens. Alyssa immediately made us comfortable and caught beautiful pictures of us just being us. She is a true professional with an amazing eye. Her frame composition and use of natural light is so impressive. I highly recommend her! read more

I was referred to Alyssa from another photographer who was booked on our wedding day, they say things happen for a reason, and I am glad this happened. Just from her emails, I liked her. When we met I knew she was the perfect fit. She was very professional and polite. She also worked with us in our price range. After the meet she continued to stay in touch and got to know me and my wedding party. The day of the wedding, where do I start? The venue we got married at didn't have a place for me to get ready. I didn't want her to go out of her way to where I was getting ready but she insisted she come, and she didn't charge me extra. She took awesome, creative shots of me getting ready, the dress, the shoes, every little detail. After looking at the photos I am glad she came to me. At the wedding, she fit it great. She had another photographer with her who fit in great as well. They were both polite, professional and fun. She had great photo ideas. As we all know there can be a little family drama at weddings, and there was some during the wedding party photo session. She made sure I was okay, and was calm and handled the situation great. She took several pictures, as did her partner. She had top of the line photo equipment and great photo ideas, I couldn't wait to see the pictures. Everyone at the wedding fell in love with Alyssa, from my family to friends. They thought she was great, and very professional, they loved her ideas and how she just fit in. When we got the photos we were in LOVE. She is extremely talented. She took SEVERAL photos, and not one single bad one. I looked at the pictures, and she did not miss a thing, she captured every moment of our special day. I would recommend Alyssa Armstrong Photography to anyone getting married. So many great things all around about her and her photography skills. read more

Alyssa is not only one of the most talented photographers I know, she cares so sincerely about her clients, other wedding vendors, and everyone she works with. I have worked with Alyssa countless times and she is professional, conscientious, genuine, and accommodating. She is passionate about weddings and about photography, and is always prepared and ready to ensure a positive experience however she possibly can. I can't recommend Alyssa Armstrong Photography enough! read more

Alyssa was a fun person to work with and is an amazing photographer. She really has a great eye for capturing light and color. For two people that do not love being on stage, she made us feel very comfortable in front of the camera. We were provided all of the 600+ wedding photos digitally and they were well worth the money paid. We couldn't be happier with the whole experience! read more

Alyssa Armstrong Photography - Beachfront Wedding - Event Photography Near Me

If I could give 10 stars I would!!! My husband and I were looking for a wedding photographer and found Alyssa through a good friend. We did not get engagement photos and took a chance and man did we score with her! Not only did she and her co-photographer Catrina make us feel extremely comfortable throughout the whole wedding photography process but her photos are incredible!!! We were married in the redwoods and she was able to capture the huge trees, the light, and us in such a romantic and magical way. Her photos capture all of the love and emotion that we felt that day. Alyssa is also the most lovely, friendly, and fun person...I can't recommend her enough! read more
