Vibrant, Emotional Wedding Photography

In Chicago, NYC, and beyond

From stunningly posed portraits with natural laughter to "hell yeah, we're married!" moments to the glance at your best friend during your first dance as a married couple, I've got you covered. I believe in photos that are as dynamic as you are--showing off your goofy side, romantic moments, and happy tears during loved ones' speeches. Most importantly, I believe in colorful, bright wedding photography that feels as celebratory as your wedding day does, even when you look back at the photos 20 years later.

The Wedding Consultation

Over here, I don't expect you to come with a Pinterest-list of questions to ask me. I'll ease you through a fun, laughter-filled consultation where I learn what moments, people, and feelings are most important to you on your wedding day before I tell you all about myself, my process, and answer any questions I didn't cover.

If you want SHOTS you can't put on a shot list because they're too meaningful and spur-of-the-moment to predict, i'm the one for you.

Inquire with me here for some basic info, then we can hop on a video call together and let the details (and laughter) commence.

It takes a lot of trust to hire a wedding photographer.


But I'm here for you, from the moment you inquire until wayyy past your wedding day. When you hire me, you're getting the experience of feeling taken care of, having someone in your corner, and being able to fully trust your photographer so you can let loose on your wedding day, stop looking at the time, and still know you're going to have the best pictures that tell the story of your whole day--from pretty, posed portraits, to wild, hair-flipping reception photos, to your siblings smiling at you while you say your vows.

"Alana has been the best photographer we could have imagined. We wanted a unique day, with tons of colors and textures and fun and laughter, a day that really reflected us as a couple instead of only current wedding industry trends. I was concerned that our "uniqueness" wouldn't read well on camera, but she absolutely nailed it. She put us both at ease in front of the camera to the point where I wish I'd been slightly more cognizant that a camera *was* there! PLEASE book Alana--she'll deliver 100-fold."
