About The Candid Image
The Candid Image
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you — full of emotion, connection, and real, unscripted moments. With years of experience behind the camera and a calm, intuitive approach, I work closely with each couple to make the experience feel effortless and fun — even for the camera-shy. Your love deserves to be documented authentically, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do.
What makes my work different is how I approach storytelling. I don’t just take pictures — I observe, anticipate, and capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is deeply candid and emotion-driven, allowing you to relive the day exactly as it unfolded. I’m not just there for the big moments — I’m there for your moments. My goal is to create images that hold feeling in every frame — the kind you’ll proudly hang on your wall or flip through years from now on your bookshelf.

Highly Recommend Photographer
Choosing a wedding photographer was one of the most important decisions we made for our special day, and we couldn't be happier with our choice of The Candid Image. From the start, Alyssa was quick to respond, incredibly accessible, and clearly knowledgeable about their craft. When we did our engagement session with Alyssa, it was our first time taking formal photos together as a couple, but her warm and personable approach made the entire experience so fun and easy. Alyssa really listened to what we wanted and worked with us to bring out our personalities as a couple. The final edited photos were absolutely stunning - she has an incredible eye for detail and beautifully captured all the special moments of our wedding day. With so many decisions to make during the wedding planning process, it was such a relief to have Alyssa as our trusted photographer. I would highly recommend her to any couple looking for a talented, professional, and personable photographer to document their big day. We can't wait to work with Alyssa in August for the wedding!
Professional, but adds a great personal touch
The Candid Image was the perfect choice for our wedding photography. Their communication style was informative, professional and punctual, yet personal throughout the process. The quality of their work and the value they provided was exceptional - they took great photos and were a joy to work with. During our initial conversations, the photographer knew just how to schedule our wedding timeline based on lighting needs, which was extremely helpful and not something I would have considered on my own. I'd highly recommend The Candid Image to shoot your wedding photos, engagement photos, or any other special occasion!
Awesome Photographer!!
The Candid Image was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with them, we could tell they were a friendly, polite, and knowledgeable team who were passionate about capturing our special day. They came prepared with great ideas and worked closely with us to ensure they understood our vision. On the wedding day, they were professional and discreet, seamlessly blending into the background to capture all the important moments. The resulting photos are stunning - they truly have an eye for detail and a talent for preserving the candid, intimate moments that make a wedding day so special. We are thrilled with the work The Candid Image did and would recommend them to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.
