If you couldn’t tell, we're pretty silly people but we're also equally very sentimental. Having gone through our own weddings, the births of our own children (Alicia has 2 kids and Rachel has 3 kids), as well as experiencing profound loss of loved ones, it's apparent that throughout life's ups and downs the one thing we always come back to is pictures.

It’s really easy to dismiss just how important photography is.  Our memories, even in their prime aren't exact. and especially, in times of heightened stress or anxiety (like I don’t know, let’s say…a wedding or something) you may not even remember certain details at all (Alicia definitely blacked out for a few seconds when she walked down the aisle at her wedding).  Photos are the most reliable way to lock in your memories and keep them forever.

When you initially start thinking of your wedding photos you think ‘Oh yeah, someone will come and they will just like, take pictures? That’s easy.’ But then you start to do your research and you see the price differences and the different styles and your head probably starts to spin. Like how do you know who to pick? You start to realize maybe it's actually really heavy to pick the person who will come and take all these really important images of you and your family and your friends and your spouse and then…at the end of the night…they just LEAVE with them!? OMG.

  


All these extraordinary moments unfold in front of us when we're documenting and we think about how lucky we are to be able to observe and process them from our perspective and then provide these images to our couples. Then, anyone that means something to them will look at them. Down the line their families will look at them and be able to say ‘I remember that’, or ‘tell me about this’ and these photos, our photos will help keep the memories alive of these most important moments. To us, that’s what it’s all about and why we take this all so seriously. It’s not just a click of a button.  

While the way we photograph is mostly candid, there’s something really important about making time for posed pictures on your wedding day. They may not be everyone’s favorite, but they serve the purpose of saying 'Hey, on this day, I was here with the people who love and support me. I made time to honor them and the bond I have with them'. All too often, we hear stories of people (not photographed by us) not getting a photo with the ones they wanted to, which is why we always make sure to have a hand in timeline creation so we can be sure to get everything you really want.

to lock in the date!

Secure your
date ASAP!

Add me on facebook, follow me on instagram, save my number in your phone and text me baby! If you have a question, I have an answer. If it's about your wedding day, I probably have an opinion so hit me with your best shot! Even if you want to just text me your random thoughts, I'm down. It's super important to me that you feel as comfortable as possible with me since I will be by your side on your wedding day!

We become
besties

04/09

An Engagement session is the only guaranteed way to meet face to face before your wedding day.  It is also a fantastic way to get to know one another, and let's be real,  how many actually nice pictures do you two have together? Chances are, not a lot.

Adding an engagement session is also possible at any time after contract signing!

Engagement pictures

05/09

I know a thing or two about how much time Rachel and I need for each part of your day.  I would love to help guide you on what should happen when! 

I also send out an exclusive wedding guide to all of our booked couples filled with tips, suggestions, vendor recommendations because we want the planning process to be as easy as possible for you!

Timeline creation + planning help 

06/09

We'll laugh, we'll cry, you'll say I do and we'll have a damn good time capturing your memories.  It will fly by in the blink of an eye, so make sure to stop and really take it in as many times as you can on your day.

We keep it mostly documentary, because we know that the images that will really tell the story of your day will be taken when you're not paying attention, however during your portraits, I will give you the right guidance to result in pictures that feel comfortable and never forced. We have a ton of experience working with people who've never taken photos like this before, so don't be worried if you feel a little camera shy. We got you.

the wedding day

07/09

You'll laugh again, you'll cry again and you'll get to relive all the moments you remember, and some you didn't even know happened.
Don't worry though.  You will receive a sneak peek of your day within a week of your wedding to hold you over while you wait.


The images are delivered digitally 3 months after the wedding.

08/09

Adding a wedding album is the best way to display your memories.  You will pick a hand full of images for me to lay out in to a beautiful heirloom piece that you will be able to look at forever.

An album can be added at any point before or after the wedding.

Wedding album creation

09/09

In addition to weddings, I also love everything that comes after the wedding day is done.  Got a new puppy? Let's do a session.  Bought a new house?  Let's do a session.  Pregnancy? Headshots? Christmas pictures?Whatever comes next for you two, I'm in!

Investing in us gets you more than just wedding photography. We always joke that we are also secretly hair stylists, florists, or seamstresses (the list goes on) because after being a part of so many weddings, we have picked up the essential skills needed to really keep your day on track. From pinning a Boutonnière, to securing a fly away veil, or even sewing a bride's ripped dress (yes, this has happened many times), we have seen it all, and have guided countless couples through whatever challenges they have been met with. 

We are also often praised for bringing in something that most weddings usually NEED at some point- a calming outsiders voice of reason. Emotions may run high on your wedding day and we know how to help you get through it. We strive to silently run the wedding day, however we are not afraid to speak up if need be or advocate for you if any situation arrises.

"I cannot speak highly enough of Alicia and Rachel!!! I tell you how wonderful, professional, and comfortable they made me and my husband feel on our wedding day. We did not have the pleasure of meeting them until our wedding day and I was a little worried if we were going to be too shy but Alicia is a pro!! She controlled the flow and realllly made me trust her guidance and lean into her throughout the day. Our family couldn't help but rave about them! I am so happy we booked with them. They are truly A wonderful team and made us feel very special!!"

"We first found Alicia to photograph our wedding. Obvious quality of her photos aside, she was our lifesaver on our wedding day. She knew when and how to move things along so the day went by smoothly and she kept us laughing throughout all those awkward moments when all attention was on us. Since then, we’ve done a photo shoot with her that ended up published. We did our maternity shoot with her. And in a few months, we’ll be doing our family shoot with her. Even though we now live in different states, we will ALWAYS come back to New York to have Alicia photograph all of our major life milestones because she has become apart of our life."

"We cannot say enough kind words about Alicia and her team! We knew from the first moment that we contacted Alicia that she was the photographer for us. She was genuine, her pictures spoke volumes about her care for her clients and how passionate she is about photography and her couples. We booked Alicia shortly after getting engaged for both an engagement shoot and for our wedding. Neither my husband or I were super comfortable in front of the camera at first, but Alicia was so warm and welcoming that we quickly opened up. Fast forward to our wedding day, she and Rachel were both so phenomenal! We had a few hiccups throughout our day that were out of everyone's control, and Alicia and Rachel were so on top of everything, able to adapt, and made sure we still got the most out of all of our pictures. There is no question that if you are looking for quality people, quality photography, and pictures that will last you a lifetime to hire Alicia and her team! Thank you so much for helping with our wedding day!"
