Celebrating individuality by capturing real moments as they unfold
more about me
I tell stories for a living, whether on paper or through a photograph. I began my career as a journalist, always on the hunt for a good story, finding the details that brought it to light.
Today I bring that same curiosity and enthusiasm to photographing weddings that don’t fit a mold: colorful, unconventional, personal celebrations that honor who you are.

“Alyvia was so easy and wonderful to work with! She met with me before the wedding and was happy to work in a few ideas we had. She has such attention to detail and caught some perfect moments that we didn’t even know were happening. She was a calm presence on a busy day and knew exactly when to sneak us away to take private photos while also giving us time to celebrate! Hire her, you will not be disappointed!.”

“Our wedding week was a whirlwind and my brain was soup after my dog died and then I immediately drove 10 hours from Chicago to Ithaca. I realized that I never gave [her] a shot list or any direction, but somehow [she] got the vibe entirely, which was whimsical, candid personality pics. [Alyvia] captured big belly laughs during my dad’s insanely inappropriate speech and possibly every time I shook my a** when I wasn’t supposed to. Looking back on my wedding album, I can remember not only what my wedding looked like, but how I felt that day. How? My only explanation is that [she] is magic.”

“Alyvia was so flexible and made the shoot so easy. They are some of my favorite photos and it felt like a casual walk with a good friend. Highly recommend!.”
“[She's] seriously the best! Our engagement photos with our dogs are even better than we could have imagined. [She] made everything feel so natural and comfortable and it truly shows in every photo. The turnaround time was incredible - so fast and so talented. We seriously cannot wait for [her] to photograph our wedding.”
