Wedding
Photographer
Elevated | Authentic.
A little photo-journalistic & A Little Editorial-inspired
I specialize in making you the main character! For your Wedding, I’ll capture images that blend warmth, authenticity, and an editorial touch for portraits that are both beautiful and genuine.
When it’s time for portraits, I’ll step in with confident direction. When it’s time to celebrate, I’ll step back & quietly document the emotion, reactions, embraces, laughter, and conviviality.
You’re already spending enough on your wedding; you don’t need a photographer to nickel-and-dime you with photo counts. I promise to deliver your gallery in a timely manner filled to the brim with beautiful, high resolution, high quality images.

That's me (Alanna)
The face behind the lens, and I love to capture life’s big moments and all that makes your story and your family unique. I’m a civil engineer by trade & a portrait photographer by passion.
My son has dubbed me world’s best photographer btw (he’s bias)).
I believe that everyone deserves to have beautiful imagery of themselves that is both empowering & sentimental. Let’s create an epic legacy & family heirlooms for you. Stepping in front of a lens can feel vulnerable. I’m here to guide you through it, no stress.
St. Louis Wedding Photography
From Cathedrals to Courthouses. Traditional to Micro.
Your job is to be present in the moment. Mine is to preserve it.
Your wedding day will pass in the blink of an eye. You should be soaking in every moment.
I’ll guide you through bridal portraits and then some. You won’t be left feeling awkward or wondering what to do with your hands, where to stand, or how to shift your weight. Together we’ll create portraits that feel elevated without feeling forced; guiding you to confident, beautiful, and authentic portraits to memorialize the beauty of your wedding day.
& while you’re celebrating with those you love most, I’ll be watching for the moments you may never even realize happened. Reactions from your guests. Your dad across the room. Your grandmother laughing with your flower girl. Tiny priceless moments.
My Approach
When it’s time for portraits, I’ll step in with confident direction so you never have to wonder what to do.
When it’s time to celebrate, I’ll step back.
That’s when I’ll quietly document the emotion, reactions, embraces, laughter, and conviviality.
Catholic Wedding Photography
The beauty of the liturgy, the architecture, and the traditions create an incredible backdrop for telling your story. I work respectfully within the rhythm of the Mass, documenting meaningful moments without becoming a distraction.
Courthouse Elopements & Micro Weddings
Designed for couples who want beautifully guided portraits to commemorate this day. The focus is on you two rather than a full wedding-day timeline.
Packages:
- The WEDDING WEEKEND collection is built for the full experience: It gives us room to tell the whole story.
- The CLASSIC collection offers full day-of coverage from getting ready to the dance floor.
- The CITY & CEREMONY collection is designed for courthouse and micro weddings. For couples who want meaningful portraits without an all-day timeline. Includes a dedicated one-hour editorial portrait experience after you say "I do."
I photograph with a portrait-forward approach that blends thoughtful direction with honest storytelling. Whether you’re ceremony is in a historic cathedral, or you’re exchanging vows at the courthouse, my goal is the same: to create photographs that let you return to your wedding day, and the people, and the emotion that was present. Not only remembering the decor and the dress, but embracing how it felt.
