Charleston based, ready to travel.
about aly
Even after 13 years in the industry, I still truly love weddings. There are very few times in your life where all the people that are important to you are all in the same place, and that celebration deserves to be documented well. Having over a decade of experience I have honed the skills of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera, anticipating moments before they happen, and building a trusting relationship with both clients and vendors alike.
Frequently, my couples share that not only did they love their photos, but they loved the way I made them feel on their wedding day. I’ve been described by clients as kind, calming, fun, organized, friendly and attentive. Many of my couples have become good friends, and I treasure the relationships we have built over the years. In order to truly know and serve my clients well, I only accept between 12-14 weddings a year.
On weekends I am not working, you can find me with my family headed out for a day on the boat, working on a house project, or baking with my daughter with our two dogs at our feet. One of our core family values is hospitality, and we love hosting friends for dinner and throwing an epic Christmas party every year.
I grew up in a military family, so traveling is in my blood. While I primarily photograph weddings in Charleston, we travel for 1-2 destination weddings a year. My passport is ready to go for any location you choose.
My faith in Jesus guides the way I love and serve my clients, how I work as an artist, and the value I place on beauty and creativity. However, I photograph weddings of all religious and non-religious backgrounds.
I can’t wait to hear about your celebration!
PHILOSOPHY
I want to take photos that will be on display at your grandCHILD’s wedding.
photographs are one of the best ways to remember a day you never want to forget
I have dealt with fainting bridesmaids, ripped dresses, rainy days, melting cakes, bee stings, and power outages. We can handle it all.
My family is happiest on, in or near the water. On my days off we are often at the beach or on our boat.
I’ve used Photoshop for over 20 years. When I first started, I had to develop film, scan it onto the computer (a 90’s blue iMac G3) and *then* edit the photo.
