Tell us about your business!

Hello! My name is Alisha, and I am a wedding and family photographer based in the mid-west, USA. I have been shooting weddings since 2014, and love capturing events (big and small) that occur in people’s lives. I incorporate a mixture of film and digital photography in my work, which brings out a sense of nostalgia in all of my imagery. 

Where are you based?

Chicago, IL.

Do you travel for weddings?

Yes! I love traveling the globe and feeling inspired by new and unique spaces. 

How would you describe your style?

My style is timeless, elegant, and a tad on the quiet side.

How would you describe your working style?

I am warm and welcoming and go into each job with a good attitude. I offer direction and my point of view when I feel like it’s needed, and also give each couple space and silence at times as well. I am very communicative, and try my best to put people at ease around me. 

Do you shoot digitally, on film or both?

Both! 

Do you have custom packages according to individual needs?

Of course, each event can be a little different from one another, and I always work with each client to make sure their package reflects what they are looking for. Sometimes it can differ based on how much film vs digital photography they are wanting, the length of time needed me for, and whether I am traveling out of state or not. 

What is a favourite product or service that you offer and why?

I do love shooting 35mm and 120mm for my clients. It feels like my truest art form of photography, and I love when clients gravitate towards that aspect of my work.

Who is your dream client?

People who appreciate the art of photography, and are excited to work with me! 

What is your advice to couples getting married?

Keep things simple and make decisions that feel authentic as to who you are as individuals and as a couple. The more you feel like yourselves on your wedding day, the more that will show in photos.
