We got married on the SLC Public Library rooftop, then took our couples photos at an arcade bar downtown — about as unconventional as it gets. Alesha flew in from out of state for ...a genuinely reasonable fee because she loved the concept, and from the second she arrived she made us feel completely at ease, even through the parts of a wedding where you're supposed to feel awkward standing in front of a camera.
What actually blew us away was the range. Ceremony light, golden hour portraits, then a dive bar with terrible fluorescents and neon arcade glow — five completely different lighting situations in one day, and every shot looked intentional. I've worked on film sets. That's not a small thing to pull off.
And then there's the shot none of us saw coming: my dad hugging me and telling me he was proud of me, for the first time in about 30 years. She caught it. Not staged, not posed — just caught it, exactly as it happened. That photo alone would've been worth the whole booking.
If you're doing anything unconventional with your venue, or you just want someone whose eye for a moment is genuinely one of the best in the business — not just "for a wedding photographer" — book Alesha. We consider ourselves extremely lucky we found her.
