Because there are some moments you’ll want to relive again and again

You’re building a life together 

worth remembering 

The joy and the chaos of celebrating with your favorite people.

The way your partner looks at you when no one else is watching.

The inside jokes that only make sense to the two of you.

to notice what matters most to you and to capture it honestly, so that when you look back years from now, you don’t just see the moment, you feel it all over again.

When it comes to photographing your day, my approach is equal parts gentle guidance and space to just be. We’ll plan for the big moments (like that first look or your favorite must-have shot), but I’ll also leave room for everything that unfolds naturally. 

I’m endlessly inspired by people, their stories, their quirks, the beautiful, messy, wonderful ways they love each other. I can’t wait to hear about the moments that made you “you,” and the journey that brought you two together.

I’m your trusty right-hand woman — one who knows when to step back and when to step in. 

Photographer, wife, mama to Juju, and a big believer in presence over perfection.

the calm in the storm when schedules go sideways, the extra set of hands when you need them, and the grounded, slightly funky friend who’ll make you laugh when nerves kick in.

My goal is to make sure your wedding photos feel like you actually lived them. Because you did.

Here’s some things you should know about me 

A balance of structure + spontaneity

I’m a planner at heart (type A, hello!) but also know some of the best moments are the ones you never expected.

A step in your shoes

My husband, Vinnie, and I model for other photographers for styled shoots and weddings. Being in front of the camera gives me extra perspective and experience of what it's like to be in your shoes when I photograph your day.

Family first

Nothing beats cozy Sunday snuggles with my husband, our daughter, and our two wild pups, usually followed by a hand-whisked matcha in my favorite mug and a family walk on the beach or at the park.

Traveling

Exploring new places keeps life exciting. I'm a sucker for a vibey coffee shop, authentic food, sick scenery, and being immersed in different cultures. Some of my favorite places I've ever been to are San Diego, Santa Barbara, Charleston, and Austin!

Joy is best when it’s shared

I love gathering people, whether it’s to catch up with friends over dinner or a rowdy game night.

A crafty, thrifty queen

Finding hidden gems at the thrift store feels like opening presents on Christmas morning. My most infamous words? "I can make that," with varying levels of success of course. Creativity and trying new things are my jam. Pottery, watercolor, sewing, and wool-felting are some of my favs!

Strong + grounded

Movement keeps me balanced, focused, and full of energy. If I'm not in the gym doing CrossFit, you can usually find me on the pickleball court laying it all out.

Your turn! I’d love to learn more about you and your partner

How I show up for you

Genuine connection +

I want you to feel truly seen for who you are — quirks, giggles, nerves, and all. This is a safe space to be yourselves and to know that your memories actually matter.

Lighthearted presence +

I bring a calm, playful energy so you can laugh, breathe, and actually enjoy the moment. I want to make your experience easy, fun, and a little funky.

Intentional storytelling +

Every detail matters. I approach your day with thought and care, so the images we create together feel timeless, rooted, and deeply personal.

Trust & Care +

I want you to feel completely taken care of and be confident that you're in safe hands from start to finish. My goal is for you to feel confident in your decision, at ease in front of the camera, and supported every step of the way.

I offer three collections and a la carte add-ons to choose from. Two essential collections and one all-inclusive. If you need more or less coverage, I’m more than willing to provide you with a custom quote.

Collections starting at $5200

Let’s dive into the details!

“My partner and I were on the fence about booking an engagement photoshoot, and we are so, so glad that we did. Having never been photographed professionally, let alone kissed on camera, this was such an amazing experience! Alana is an amazing human being, and her bubbly personality, paired with her clear posing, made us immediately comfortable in front of the camera. Our photos exceeded my vision for our engagement shoot, and I still can't believe those magazine-worthy pictures are US!! We are feeling so confident and relieved in who we chose to capture our wedding and can't wait for that day to come.”

“There are no words to truly express how phenomenal our experience with Alana was… she went above and beyond as a photographer on our wedding day. Not only is she talented, but she’s organized, understanding, creative, and one of the most upbeat people I’ve ever met. Alana and her assistant made my family and me feel like we’ve known them forever. They kept me laughing during the stressful times and made the special moments so memorable. We feel so lucky to have found Alana and to have had her a part of our special day to capture one of the most amazing days of our lives. Thank you will never be enough for how appreciative we are!”

“Alana’s versatility with the style of photos is incredible. I am so so glad I found her. Having beautiful photos of my family and friends gathered together is something I will cherish forever. Alana was by far the best vendor of my entire wedding. Throughout the engagement process, she was always available, open to new ideas and down for a good time. Her pictures turned out amazing, and she made us feel so comfortable. It felt as if me my husband and I had known her our entire lives. I cannot express the gratitude that I feel towards her for making my wedding so special. If you don’t hire her, you’re missing out. If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!”

- Alyssa + Terrence

If I could give her more than 5 stars, I would!

How to book your wedding photos

Book a consult call so we can get to know each other, talk about your vision, and find the perfect collection for your day.

Step 1

Let’s connect

If it feels like a fit, I’ll send over your contract + invoice. Once your retainer is in, your date is locked on my calendar (cue happy dance).

Step 2

Make it official

From your engagement session to timeline planning, questionnaires, and vendor recs, I’ll guide you every step of the way so you feel prepared and stress-free.

Step 3

Plan & prep

It’s here! I’ll arrive early, camera in hand, ready to capture everything from the tiny in-betweens to the big “I do.” You focus on soaking it all in and I’ll handle the rest.

Step 4

Celebrate your day

Sneak peeks arrive within 72 hours. Your full gallery will be ready within weeks, and a special date night keepsake box follows. 

Step 5

Relive the magic

Let’s keep the memories rolling

Your wedding day is only the beginning of your story. When that first anniversary arrives or when your family grows with little ones or fur babies, I’d love to be there to capture it all.

See you at the next milestone

faq

When will we get our photos? +

You'll receive sneak peeks within 72 hours, and your full gallery within 8–12 weeks. You can download, share, and even order prints straight from your gallery.

Can we order prints or albums through you? +

Absolutely! You can order professional-quality prints and heirloom albums directly through your online gallery. If you'd prefer to go through Artifact Uprising, I'm an affiliate and happy to share a 15% off discount code with you, too!

Are your prices all-inclusive? +

Yes! All collections and add-ons are flat-rate, so there are no hidden fees or surprise costs waiting for you down the road.

Do you offer payment plans? +

Yes, I offer interest-free payment plans to make things easier for you. And, instead of requiring a large deposit, I only ask for a 30% retainer to secure your date.

Do you travel for weddings? +

I mainly capture love stories in Connecticut. I'm based in New London and travel within a 2-hour radius is included in all of my collections. If your wedding is further afield, please do get in touch and we can discuss.

Do you offer bridal boudoir sessions? +

Yes! We can add on a boudoir session prior to your wedding date. I typically recommend to do the session at least 2-3 months in advance so you have a good amount of time to order any prints or albums you may want to gift your partner!

Do you have an assistant or a second photographer? +

I love bringing someone with me to shoot your day. Whether they are an assistant or a second photographer, having an extra set of hands and eyes helps me to make sure every meaningful moment and fun candids are captured. My all-inclusive collection includes a full day second photographer. My two essential collections are covered solely by me, with the option to add a second photographer for half or full-day coverage.

Do you shoot film? +

Yes, I shoot 35mm portra 400 for all that timeless, old-school magic! My all-inclusive collection includes 2 rolls of film. For the two essential collections, film can be added-on per roll.

What if we're awkward in front of the camera? +

Totally normal! My job is to help you forget the camera's even there. I'll guide you just enough to help things flow, then step back so you can just be yourselves. We'll laugh, move, and let things unfold naturally with a few gentle cues along the way to make sure you get those beautiful, frame-worthy shots.

How do we book you? +

Easy! Step one is to book a consultation call. We'll chat about your story, your plans, and what collection fits best. Once your retainer is in, your date is officially yours!

Let’s bottle up the joy

The first step is simply reaching out and saying, “This matters to us.” From there, I’ll guide you with care, clarity, and a lighthearted presence, so your photos feel like memories you can step back into again and again.
