ABOUT ALY
I've been photographing couples and love stories for over 10 years, and I honestly can't imagine doing anything else. I'm based in Ventura County and photograph weddings and elopements all over Southern California (and wherever else your story takes me).
My love for photography started way back in junior high when I got my first little point-and-shoot camera. What started as a fun hobby quickly turned into a career that I absolutely love.
I grew up in San Diego and have lived in different parts of California over the past decade before settling in Ventura County. When I'm not behind the camera, I'm usually hanging out with my husband and our two kiddos, finding a good matcha spot, or planning our next little adventure.

My approach is rooted in documentary-style photography with a timeless, film-inspired feel. I want your photos to feel honest—not overly posed or forced—but full of the moments that actually made your day yours.
From the quiet in-between moments to the joyful chaos, happy tears, and the people you love most, I'm always paying attention to the little things that often become your favorite memories later. I'll gently guide you when you need it, but I'll also give you space to simply be present with each other.
My goal is for you to feel comfortable in front of the camera so your photos look and feel like you. At the end of it all, I want you to receive a gallery that tells the full story of your wedding day—not just how it looked, but how it felt.
