If I could give Alyssa Bain Photography 10 stars, I would! While our wedding photographs were absolutely gorgeous, the total experience Alyssa provided, from start to finish, far exceeded expectations. Alyssa was communicative, and tailored the experience to make my vision better than I could imagine!

Our wedding was held at a generous relative’s house in Paradise Valley- with Camelback Mountain and Mummy Mountain as the backdrop. Two days before the nuptials, the neighbors decided to bulldoze their yard, and put up an ugly fence right behind where we were to say “I do!” Me and my husband pondered moving the entire 160 guests to another location on the property- but we were worried the direct and intense Arizona sun would make for an uncomfortable experience for us and our guests. Alyssa surveyed the yard, and assured us that she would be able to photoshop out the construction, so that we could use our original desired spot! She is a problem solver! Coincidentally, this area had the best lighting…Alyssa knew this because she swung by at the exact time of the ceremony (but in advance) so she could map out all of the shots.

One thing that was important to me and my husband, was that we could spend time with our guests during the cocktail hour. Alyssa’s time management was on point, she managed to get in all of the shots that were important for us to have captured in record time, so we could spend time with our guests. Alyssa is a master of capturing the staged family photos that you want when you get married, but also the fun/candid pics of the guests dancing, smiling, and having a blast. Friends and family I spoke with after the wedding were so impressed not only by Alyssa’s professionalism, but also by her warmth. Alyssa gave clear direction, was open to feedback and ideas, and always made us feel comfortable.

Side bar, I was having issues with my bustle, and she took the time to fix it- which was no easy task, as the dress was crocheted, and those darn buttons were a pain to find! They posed a problem for my mom and friends- but Alyssa seamlessly stepped up to help, and fixed that bustle in record time. At the end of the day, I have lovely photos, but I felt like I made a new friend. Hire her for all of your events!

My husband and I cannot say enough good things about Alyssa and Steph! From our very first phone call with Alyssa, we knew it would be a perfect match. On our zoom call she was incredibly genuine, organized and knowledgeable. She is down to earth and has such a calming and assured presence - which is so very helpful with wedding planning and day of activities! Throughout the entire process she helped in answering questions regarding timing, schedule and ideal lighting.

We had to have a VERY last minute pivot due to a heat wave and Alyssa was flexible, understanding, and made sure we were still able to get the various photos we wanted on the day. AND THE PHOTOS WERE INCREDIBLE! They look organic and full of life, verse staged and standard. They are vibrant, natural and the editing is perfect and timeless. Before we even received our sneak peak our family and friends commented on how wonderful our photography team was and how attentive they were on the day. Then we received the sneak peak and full album, it was even more evident how truly wonderful they are.

We love our wedding album. And we love Alyssa and Steph. Would 100% recommend them and hope to see them again in the future for family photos!!

I interviewed three wedding photographers for our big day, but the moment I got off FaceTime with Alyssa, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief—I had found the perfect fit. My husband and I were looking for someone who would truly listen to our vision, create high-quality work, and match our energy and vibe.

One of the most important elements of our wedding was the candlelit ambiance. While it created the romantic atmosphere we dreamed of, we were nervous about how it would translate in photos. Alyssa completely exceeded our expectations. She is an incredibly talented artist who captured the magic of the evening beautifully—every image feels timeless and full of emotion.

Where to even start. From start to finish Alyssa has been absolutely incredible. I’ve had a total of 3 sessions with her (2 with my fiance & 1 solo headshots) and she has knocked it out of the park every time. I’m not the most comfortable in front of a camera but Alyssa’s direction and finesse made it so easy and I’ve never loved photos of myself and fiance more. Not to mention she is so kind & silly- it makes the experience so fun!! I truly feel like she goes above and beyond with her craft. Alyssa is one of a kind and I can’t wait for more sessions in the future.

I found Alyssa after the initial photographer I had booked for my wedding completely stopped responding to all communication from us, and a second photographer we attempted to hire wanted us to change our entire wedding day timeline ( and then also stopped responding to us when we wanted to keep our timeline the same!) with just about 4 months to go til the wedding day. I would go through all of that stress again if it meant I would still end up with Alyssa!

From our first conversation with her, my husband and I felt like we were in great hands, and all of the stress we had been experiencing around photography went away. Alyssa is the perfect balance of laid back with a master plan in her head of what needs to get done and made sure it all happened without it feeling like any part of the day was being rushed. It was a serious pleasure to work with her, and I would recommend her to anyone I know!

I don't have the words to describe how amazing Alyssa did. She scheduled calls with us to go over our expectations which made us feel confident about hiring her. She made sure she had an itinerary with specific times and went over the location to take pictures. She was very detailed oriented (which we loved) and really understood what we were looking for. I literally held back tears because she did an amazing job capturing our special day. The attention to detail is over the top and she captured pictures that we never would have thought of taking. Alyssa definitely understood the assignment when it came to capturing those "wow" moments. Alyssa's pictures scream "professional" when viewing them and have received a lot of positive feedback from not just my wife but other family members.

I can't describe how great these pictures are, you kind of just sit there and appreciate the talent that she has. Alyssa, Thank you so much for capturing our special day! I can't tell you how much we LOVE these pictures. I would even say that these aren't pictures but beautifully captured moments and I can't express my gratitude enough for doing an amazing job. Thank you so much, Alyssa.

Alyssa was amazing throughout our entire experience. We did both our engagement and wedding photos with her, and she was more than willing to drive to saguaro lake and the Superstition Mountains to photograph our engagement and wedding. She was professional, and made me feel more than comfortable through it all, given I don't ever get professional photos done. She had amazing communication, and was there to answer questions when needed. Our photos came back absolutely perfect, and will definitely be using her in the future!!

Alyssa was amazing to work with! We had never gotten our photos professionally taken before and she came with ideas that made us feel super comfortable. We are impressed with how our photos came out and would highly recommend her.
