Alyssa Carpenter

tructions! The photos came out so beautiful! She was totally on board and flexible with our changing timeline on wedding day due to rain in the forecast which was greatly appreciated! Alyssa is so friendly and easy to communicate with at all stages of the process. We also received our fully gallery much quicker than expected which was such a nice surprise!! I can’t thank her enough and I highly recommend her to all future couples! 

photos turned out beautifully, and our friends and family are still raving about how incredible they are. We couldn't believe how quickly we got our wedding preview photos, and the full gallery exceeded our expectations. Book Alyssa if you want a seemless experience with gorgeous photos!!

tructured poses, she focuses on true candids which is exactly what we were looking for - it told the story of the day in a special way that I can hold on to forever!! Alyssa delivered everything on time, sneak peaks included. She even went above & beyond for us to provide additional edits at no cost as it was a unique situation. We were very grateful for her willingness and ability to problem solve!! 

nd it genuinely felt like we were just hanging out with a friend who happened to be taking the most STUNNING photos of us. We had so much fun with her, and every single photo turned out better than I could’ve imagined. I’m genuinely obsessed and would recommend her a million times over!! 🥰

nce was. Alyssa is an incredible photographer but also just a great person! She is amazing at communication leading up to the shoot and made everything so much fun. I wish we had an excuse to take photos with her all the time. I truly could not recommend her highly enough. 

o natural and easy, and I feel she truly captured the love my partner and I have for one another. No fake smiles, just love. As a late-20s woman, I must say the gallery looked so flattering. It was incredible to look at pictures of myself and feel beautiful and love how I looked. That is all due to her posing and skill.  I would recommend Alyssa to anyone for any setting. She is personable and kind and knowledgeable. She delivers quickly and the results speak for themselves. 

ur engagement and wedding photos, and they are the most treasured photos we own! She has the magic of somehow capturing every single moment without making you feel like you need to pose or work hard for the shot. She also got us our sneak peeks and full albums so quickly after our wedding, which we SO appreciated! Thank you Alyssa!!!!!! 

ually sad it was over! She made all of our 15 guests feel welcome and part of the day. She is funny, smart, and so sweet. I wish we could do it all over again! Would hire her again in a heartbeat. 

exas, but it didn't matter. Alyssa was so personable on our day and gave great direction. It actually snowed on our wedding day (in Mid-May!), and she was so easy going even though we had to pivot on some of our photo ideas. She captured so many beautiful, unique moments despite us having to take some breaks from the cold. Our gallery was almost 750 photos, and I truly love all the photos. Our day was captured perfectly and I'd hire her again in a heartbeat!

uld absolutely work with her again!!

he took so many great photos and captured our day perfectly. We printed a lot of photos of our guests to send with our thankyou notes and they all loved that! Her and her assistant took so many good ones during cocktail hour and the reception that we just had to share them! I love having all of her photos to look back on and remember how amazing our wedding day was :)

us feel so comfortable. We are absolutely in love with our pictures and looking at them brings back all of the beautiful memories of our wedding day. I'm so thankful for all the pictures I will have forever of my family and friends. I can't recommend Alyssa enough! 10/10 best wedding photographer EVER!

uch easier! She made us feel so comfortable when taking photos and pictures were so natural and easy! She was so fun and easy to work with! And our photos are so wonderful, and we are so happy with them! I love being able to relive our wedding day through these photos! Alyssa is the very best!

ffortless. Communication was always smooth, and she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera even if that doesn’t come naturally! On our wedding day, Alyssa was calm, organized, and such a positive presence to have around. She captured every special moment so beautifully and naturally. When we received our photos, we were completely blown away, every picture was stunning, emotional, and perfectly told the story of our day. We will truly treasure these photos forever. If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only extremely talented but also genuinely wonderful to work with, Alyssa is the best choice. We are beyond grateful for her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

Our photos are perfect and will be a forever reminder of our perfect day. When one picked location for our elopement got too cloudy, she went with us to not one, but two other spots to take more pictures.  I highly highly recommend her and am so glad she was part of our day!!

of our friend group the day of and she made me feel at ease all day. The photos turned out stunning and we couldn’t think of a better person to have captured our day. I highly recommend hiring Alyssa for your wedding day!! 

eautiful, natural, and full of emotion. We first worked with Alyssa for our engagement shoot, and we were completely over the moon with the photos. So when it came to our wedding, we knew without hesitation that we wanted her there to capture it. She’s so experienced, calm, and understanding, which made us feel instantly comfortable in front of the camera. On the wedding day, Alyssa was prompt, organized, and wonderfully efficient — she managed her time so well, capturing a huge variety of shots in a short period without ever making things feel rushed. She knows exactly what poses to suggest and how to stage everything perfectly, all while keeping things easy and fun. The sneak peek photos she’s already sent us are everything we hoped for and more — timeless, elegant, and full of joy. We absolutely can’t wait to see the rest of our wedding gallery. We’re so grateful to have found her and couldn’t recommend her more highly!

ur engagement session and wedding day she was responsive, experienced, and very helpful. Our wedding day went perfectly and we are so happy that we have a just as perfect gallery to accompany it. Alyssa made taking photographs fun and easy and we are so happy to have a photo gallery to hold onto forever. Highly recommend Alyssa!

he moment we started communicating, Alyssa was prompt and professional. Throughout the planning process we were always in contact and she was willing to answer any questions I had or make any changes I came up with. On the day of, she was on schedule the entire day. We got every picture that we wanted and so many more! I cannot recommend Alyssa enough!

k like they were well behaved! Alyssa was super easy to communicate with for both our engagement photos and wedding day photos.  She easily accommodated my huge family. Her second photographer, Kim, was also so nice and easy to work with.  The finished product is just amazing and something we will cherish forever. Highly recommend!!

oto she took is absolutely STUNNING — we truly can't stop looking at them! This was our first time having professional photos taken, and she made the entire experience feel so natural. She coached us through every pose with such ease and encouragement, which helped us feel completely comfortable and confident in front of the camera. Not only was she professional and talented, but she was also incredibly kind and amazing to work with. From our welcome dinner the night before the wedding to the big day itself, she went above and beyond to capture every special moment. On top of all that, she got our photos back to us way faster than we ever expected! We honestly can't recommend her enough — she is truly the best!

nsive in her communication and went above and beyond to make sure we achieved the vision for our engagement photos, even going out of her way to do a longer hiking session at a place important to my fiancé and I. We had so much to talk about the whole time, and she made us feel so comfortable posing in ways that felt natural! The photos turned out beautifully, I want every single one on my wall except we need to leave space for the wedding photos that she’ll absolutely smash! The investment is more than reasonable for the amount of effort, time, and skill she puts into telling every couple’s story, especially in such a saturated small wedding/adventure elopement photography landscape, so BOOK HER! You won’t regret it.

bility to create natural, emotional shots blew us away. Alyssa made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera, never once making us feel awkward or posed. Her fun, easygoing personality made the entire experience feel like a celebration, and the final photos are absolutely stunning. If you want photos that truly capture the essence of your day, Alyssa is the photographer you need. We’re so grateful for the beautiful memories she gave us!

we met her, Alyssa made us feel comfortable, relaxed, and genuinely excited about capturing our big day. On top of her incredible talent, Alyssa was kind, professional, and so easy to work with. She was on time, organized, and went above and beyond to make sure we got every shot we wanted (plus some we didn’t even know we needed until we saw them!). Our wedding gallery turned out absolutely gorgeous. I can’t recommend Alyssa enough to anyone looking for a photographer! Thank you, Alyssa, for helping us relive the most beautiful day of our lives over and over again! - Ismeta & Jake

lways reassuring throughout the planning process. On the wedding day, she truly shined. She brought a calm confidence and took charge in the best possible way—direct when needed, but always kind. She was especially amazing at managing the family group shots, getting everyone organized quickly and efficiently (no small feat!), and keeping us perfectly on schedule without ever making us feel rushed. The photos are absolutely beautiful, but just as importantly, she made the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable. We can’t recommend her highly enough!

forever!

the time to ensure we were comfortable and also make it fun! On our wedding day, she captured everything we asked and more, delivering a gallery that had us speechless. She was always prompt with communication, and gave updates regularly leading up to the big day and as we waited for our full gallery. I can’t recommend Alyssa enough, she is the best of the best. Book her!!!

d really loved her style. She is communicative, enthusiastic, and just extremely talented at what she does. For our engagement shoot, the results were beautiful. We were two brides - not only is Alyssa super LGBTQ-friendly, but she was able to pose us in ways that made sense for us. It didn't at all feel like she was trying to adapt us into traditional man/woman poses, which we really appreciated. For our wedding, Alyssa was great. She fit perfectly into the tight schedule of the day. She got us through posed pics in a timely manner. For some family that didn't stay back after the ceremony, Alyssa seamlessly adapted to gathering the family at cocktail hour / reception. She was extremely familiar with Spruce Mountain Ranch, our venue, and knew all the best spots to get pictures. When we got our final photos back, we were crying happy tears over how beautiful the photos were. The raw emotion she captured in candid moments was unbelievable. Never have my wife and I felt so beautiful as we did looking at these pictures. We were able to fully relive the wedding day with what Alyssa captured. Her pricing felt extremely reasonable for the results we got too. We got married on August 23, 2024. We will forever recommend her to everyone we know getting married!

he was so helpful with both our engagement photo shoot and wedding day. Our sessions felt fun, natural, and relaxed, I was so thrilled to receive stunning photos that were a perfect representation of us and our special day. I was BLOWN AWAY by our photos and was so impressed with Alyssa's professionalism, fun personality, and attention to detail. I cannot recommend her highly enough!! Thank you for everything!!

nd she exceeded our expectations with our own gallery. Not only does she deliver stunning photos, she’s a joy to have around on the best day of your life! She was super helpful with creating a timeline for our day and making sure we had every photo we wanted taken and more. She had huge life events herself (her own wedding and a sweet baby!) and still made sure her clients were taken care of. You’d be the luckiest couple to have her photograph your special day!!!

c eye and ability to capture the rugged beauty of the Rockies. But Alyssa brings so much more that that to the table. She has an intangible ability to make people feel at ease through a rare combination of kindness, warmth, and professionalism. Weddings are inherently vulnerable: you put yourself and your emotions on display for all to see. I can't tell you how much easier that is to do around someone like Alyssa. She gently guided us through our engagement photos - curing a lifetime of discomfort in front of the camera for both of us. On the wedding day, she handled any hiccup with her signature laid-back attitude and even drove us to a beautiful lake for some pre-ceremony photos. Alyssa understands that weddings are about connection - with your partner and with your loved ones - and never took us out of the moment. I'm writing this review the day after receiving our photo gallery. It's simply incredible. We've been crying and laughing and re-living all the little moments through her lens. To say we will cherish these photos forever is an understatement. If you are reading this review wondering whether to work with Alyssa... what are you waiting for?! And to Alyssa: thank you, truly, from the bottom of our hearts.

e day ran smoothly. I never felt rushed or stressed out and she kept everyone calm and at ease all day. She made the day feel like it was about celebrating us, not about taking pictures which I loved. Our photos are absolutely stunning and Alyssa is beyond talented :)

ssa knew exactly how to guide us and what shots we should get. She captured every moment beautifully, even moments I didn't realize I would want to look back on and be reminded of. She definitely has an amazing eye for these things and knows how to make you look/feel beautiful on your wedding day, which is something that everyone should feel. Alyssa exceeded all of our expectations, and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

to our emails, and got our photos to us in a timely manner. On our wedding day, Alyssa orchestrated everything flawlessly. She coordinated everyone for photos without being intrusive and kept everyone on schedule due to her organization and planned vision for photos at the area surrounding our venue. We could not recommend Alyssa more!!

se her for my big day. And, I am SO glad I did. Alyssa was a dream to work with, communicating every step of the way, making sure she knew what we were looking for from our pictures, and relieving any anxieties we had. The day of, she was so easy to get along with, making us both comfortable in front of the camera, she was on top of everything from start to finish, and kept us on schedule all day. She was the perfect balance of flexible and composed - kindly instructing, us, our family, and our bridal party while also leaving room for changes in schedule, organic ideas for pictures, etc. We got our pictures back quickly and they are more than we could have ever asked for. Alyssa beautifully captured our day and delivered a gallery of pictures that we will cherish forever. 10/10 would book Alyssa again!!

hotos and are still amazed at how wonderfully she captured our day!!

navigate all aspects of their wedding experience and was super helpful with guiding us through timeline planning and other logistical questions. She also faced crazy weather at both our engagement session when a big thunderstorm swept in (which she did generously offer to reschedule if we needed to) and our January wedding day, which ended up being a high of like 5 degrees. We also absolutely loved Stacy, our second shooter on our wedding day! I could not recommend Alyssa more if you're looking for a wedding photographer.

lso made us feel so comfortable, as photos can be awkward, but we honestly had a great time! She was able to capture some candid photos of us, and even our high energy dog :) I cried when we got our engagement photos back and knew our wedding photos would be exceptional….and they were!! Alyssa was so kind and coordinated everything so well with all the other vendors! I will cherish our photos forever and would 1000% recommend her for your photography needs.

el instantly at ease, which is clearly seen in our photos. Alyssa was so professional, communicative, and fun to work with through the entire process. Her work is stunning and we could not be happier with the memories she captured. If you want a seamless, enjoyable, and relaxed wedding day, ensure Alyssa is your photographer!

re so happy with our photos, and she made a huge part of our wedding absolutely stress free. Thank you so much, Alyssa!

e of our wedding day. She made our wedding parties feel at ease and we never felt rushed or stressed about getting photos done. Her editing is beautiful and the photos look natural and not over-edited. I am thrilled with all of our photos and she captured every important moment. I am so grateful and would highly recommend her!

icative and responsive each time I needed to chat about details and she made us feel so at ease helping us pose and making sure every detail was in place to make the photos perfect! On top of being so insanely talented, she is so genuinely kind. We cannot recommend Alyssa enough!

was exactly what we were wanting and decided to go with her. She started with our engagement photos and she was so incredibly easy to work with and made two non photogenic people look amazing. She knows how to capture genuine emotions and made sure to include what we wanted in our session. We recently received our wedding photos and are so impressed with how beautiful everything turned out. Alyssa made sure we got all of the important details captured and made getting our professional photos taken a priority of the day. All of our friends and family cannot stop talking about how beautiful our gallery is. She is so sweet, down to earth and definitely puts her heart and soul into her work. We cannot recommend her enough to anyone!!! Jilly & Alex

nd easy to communicate with during the planning process, was so fun to work with and kept the timeline moving at a great pace on the wedding day. She also has a very calm, but still commanding demeanor which I think is important when it comes to any wedding vendor. Not only that, but her work is incredible. We love our engagement photos so much and can't wait to see the wedding photos. Work with Alyssa if you can!!
