I paid $2,550 for my wedding photography and genuinely regret choosing this photographer. After…read moreposting an honest negative review, she even threatened legal action--despite having no grounds for it. It made me wonder how many couples before me have been pressured into silence. The online gallery she uses is extremely outdated and unreliable. It took me EIGHT attempts to download my own wedding photos--and I'm a software engineer on gigabit fiber. The issue was not on my end; her server repeatedly failed. Earlier in October, her gallery also included at least one photo that appeared to be warped by AI (two versions of the same image, one with my face oddly altered and facing the wrong direction). She said the final edits would be uploaded later, so I planned to re-download everything once those were ready. But by November, the gallery kept failing and I couldn't reliably access the finalized version at all. I wish I could upload the AI-warped photo here so others could see what I mean, but her contract prevents clients from sharing images in "unauthorized" ways--and based on her legal threats, I'm afraid she'd try to sue. The bigger problem: the USB drive included in my package--the backup in case the gallery failed--never arrived. She mailed it through USPS with no insurance or protection. When it went missing, USPS couldn't help, and the tracking number went nowhere. When I told her plainly that the USB never arrived and the gallery was repeatedly failing, her response was essentially: "Too bad. Pay again." She wanted $68.95 for a replacement and offered no assistance with the gallery issues. Refusing to replace a missing deliverable that represents a tiny fraction of the $2,550 I already paid felt shockingly stingy and unprofessional. She could have replaced it--she simply chose not to. And here's what should concern any bride: If the gallery had completely failed and the USB was lost, we would have had no access to our final edited wedding photos at all, despite paying thousands of dollars. No reputable photographer should ever leave clients in that position. Update: Only after I warned her that I would be leaving a negative review--and then actually posted it--did she finally offer to send a replacement USB. A few days later, USPS unexpectedly located the original package at a different facility, over a month after it had been marked "delivered." I picked it up and told her a replacement was no longer needed. Her reaction? She took that opportunity to double down and blame ME for USPS' mistakes, implying I hadn't done my "due diligence," even though we had visited the post office multiple times and called in, visited the tracking site, and in all attempts was told there was nothing they could do. A professional vendor insures important shipments, ensures deliverability, and advocates for their clients--not points fingers. To make matters worse, I later learned from my wedding venue who recommended her that -- independent of my complaint -- that they already happened to have removed her from their preferred vendor list prior to any outreach from me due to other unrelated, but repeated, issues they had with her independently which they had already given her feedback for, and which she was unable to improve on. Therefore, it appears that the concerns I experienced were not an isolated case. Apparently my wedding was the last wedding she would be photographing at my venue because she was already discontinued by the time I mentioned my problem to them. In my experience, when something goes wrong, she does not take responsibility and instead blames the client. With a once-in-a-lifetime event like a wedding, that is not a risk I would ever take again. Update #2: She later responded to my review claiming that I had already downloaded my photos in October. Sure okay -- I downloaded what was available back then after multiple attempts as well, but those files included the warped AI-looking image, which obviously meant they weren't the finalized edits. Who realistically would settle for that instead of asking that the final versions of the photos of their wedding they paid thousands for be provided? In her response she says, "This matter has been resolved and the client has received everything included in the contract." Sure, technically the gallery photos and USB eventually made it here, but during that whole process, it was pretty awful having to deal with her constant assumptions & blame, dismissiveness, repeated evasions of responsibility, and threats of legal action being taken against me for complaining.

Her package was great, she was reliable and flexible when I asked her about a possible transfer of dates due to corona. Alyssa and my videographer ran the photos well together. (Although they ran very late- but I do not fault her, the timeline could have used some adjusting-non bridal party members should get hair and make up done LAST) Her photos aren't over edited, very natural looking and won't fad out. She worked with my Pinterest photos, letting me pick a handful of them although most them weren't my favorite out of them all. One of my favorite things about working with her was the turn about time. A handful of photos within a few days of the wedding. The blog - a summary of the day (about ~150 photos) within 2 weeks. Then the full gallery within 8 weeks. And my package gave me the rights to print in whatever way. And didn't have an insane up charge like many photographers do for printing but gave me the option if I wanted her to do it. My only critiques was that my ring was very off center in the close ups of my ring, (I should have got it resized) but I wish it had been centered before photographed. And while we were doing our family photos my family noticed a bit of impatience which could have been due to the heat, masks, running behind on photos, the chaos etc. I highly recommend talking to whoever is helping run the day (coordinators, family friend, etc) to help with the flow of photos, or the first look having vow books etc. The family side of the photos could have used an extra set of hands getting the order down (this might not be the case if you included a second shooter I did not) Ex. Smith family photo Ex. Jones family etc. up next. Etc. checking off those must have photos. All in all, my experience with Alyssa was great. She captured everything perfectly. Her turn around time was great and was follow as outlined in the contract. She did a great job of getting all the shots in of the day. She was great with communication, she always replied in a timely manner. I recommend anyone to her looking for a wedding photographer.
