"I 100% recommend Alyssa Michel Photography! She was very communicative prior to the appointment, was willing to travel for the shoot, and was incredibly professional yet fun! She has a real eye for what looks good, and goes for all of the shots (even candid ones)! She was so patient with our 8 year old, who sometimes had her own ideas, and Alyssa went with some of her ideas. We loved working with her and will definitely work with her in the future!"

— Katrina & Brandon

"Alyssa really knocked it out of the park!!! Her creative eye and attention to detail really took our forever wedding memories to a whole new level. From the very start Alyssa was a big part of our wedding day, offering great suggestions, guidance and connections to venders if needed (greatly appreciated!).❤️ I could not recommend a more loving, caring, hilarious, passionate person to capture our big day and I can not wait for our future shoot’s together!

— Linda & Justin

"I cannot recommend Alyssa highly enough for motherhood and family photos. After a difficult birthing experience prevented us from getting early pictures, Alyssa captured our family when our daughter was 2 months old. Newborns are unpredictable, but she was incredibly patient—giving us breaks and soothing our baby with her calming presence. This shoot meant the world to me. The photos came out beautifully, and she made me feel gorgeous during a vulnerable postpartum time. I can't thank Alyssa enough and am already itching to book again!"

"From my first email to the delivery of our beautiful pictures, working with Alyssa was absolutely amazing. Her communication was seamless, but she went far beyond just photographing our wedding. She helped create the perfect timeline for sunset lighting, kept everyone organized, and even helped with hair pins and boutonnieres! She delivered the most stunning photos and kept us updated every step of the way. She’s incredibly talented and the sweetest person to work with."

"When we started looking into a photographer for our wedding Alyssa came highly recommended. We met up to go over what we were looking for and hit it off instantly. She did our engagement session to start and got the most incredible shots of us as well as our daughter. It was very important to us to find somebody who was patient with our daughter as she’s special needs and can take a bit of time to adjust to things. Not only was Alyssa patient but she went above and beyond to make our daughter feel comfortable, included and excited for the entire shoot. For the entire year leading up to the wedding she kept constant contact with us, bouncing ideas off one another, dealing with our never ending venue search and even helped us get in contact with the venue we wound up choosing for our reception."
