Alayna Parker Photography

Alayna is amazing! She genuinely cares about all aspects of your wedding planning, not just capturing your big day. She loves to know all the details, inside and out, to ensure what you envision comes to life through her photos. She's very detail oriented and thorough in yours and her planning process. I felt like I not only had a photographer I can depend on but an extra pair of hands to make our day run as smooth and effectively as possible. She keeps everyone on schedule, communicates beautifully, and honestly doesn't miss a beat. I don't know how she does it! Her positivity radiates through every aspect of your day. We felt fully taken care of and have so many wonderful photos that we continue to look back on to relive our wedding day all over again. We not only had an amazing photographer but also gained a friend through our wedding planning process. I highly recommend Alayna to anyone looking for a photographer (not just weddings, her talent goes so far). Thank you Alayna for your wonderful work!

I cannot recommend Alayna Parker more as the photographer to entrust to capture your special moments. I genuinely have never had as many people compliment something as I have with my wedding photos, and the people who met her at my wedding all echoed the same sentiment that she is now part of our family. If you are fortunate enough to be given the chance to meet Alayna, none of this will come as a surprise. She is one of the most caring, friendly people I have met and this sentiment is so evident when looking at her photography. I am very particular about photography/editing style, and I cannot restate enough how great her style is. Her editing is consistent and clean, which was one of the most important things to me when choosing a wedding photographer: I wanted someone with a truly timeless (and not trendy) editing style. We first connected with Alayna for our engagement party. She immediately got to work capturing the detail shots (one of her niches for a reason…she’s so good at this y’all!!) while we pulled together the last minute details. She needed absolutely no instruction at all; she’s a professional for a reason and it’s so very clear in how she conducts herself while working. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera, pulling out everyone’s most photogenic side and capturing all the true, raw emotions. She was so personable, and multiple people told me that she was amazing. We decided to book her for our wedding following the great experience at our engagement party. All of the logistics were so seamless with her. Booking, scheduling, payment, and delivery of the galleries were all so easy and professional (and I've had a lot of experience with photogs on both ends of the spectrum). In our planning meetings, she was so detail-oriented and knew all the right questions to ask, which is one of the most important things for anyone planning a wedding. She was constantly assuaging me and is truly the bestfriend who will talk you down a ledge with her vast wealth of experience…and it’s not unheard of for the stress of wedding planning pushes you to one! She easily ranks at the top for making the experience easy. Throughout the entire day she was reassuring me that the timeline was a guideline, and even if we don’t stick to it to the second, everything will get captured. I told her upfront that as we were coming from the unique perspective of having plenty of couple photos, I wanted my main priority to be candid photos of friends/family, and I will forever cherish the amazing job she did. Every single person who commented on our photography not only said that the photos were beautiful, but also qualified the compliment with praise for Alayna and her outstanding professionalism and charismatic demeanor. Alayna was so great during all of our planning, and stuck through with her professionalism and dedication at the wedding and following up. We received upwards of 150 photos and a beautiful blog post for our sneak peeks within around a week of our wedding, which were a beautiful memory that we were then able to share with our friends and family to relive the day. I cannot reiterate how strongly I recommend Alayna to capture your wedding. She is the best photographer we have ever worked with, and I will forever cherish the memories that she preserved for us.

Alayna is an amazing photographer! She has a bubbly personality that will make you feel comfortable in front of her camera. I usually do not enjoy getting photos of myself, but Alayna made me feel beautiful and confident. She provided my husband and I with enough direction to get awesome photos, but she also allowed us to be ourselves in the moment. Alayna captured our wedding day so perfectly and we love reliving our day through the photos. Booking was very easy and Alayna is very accommodating. She was very responsive to questions and communicated effectively in the weeks leading up to the wedding. On the wedding day, she wrangled our large family for photos like a pro. Alayna made us feel like she genuinely cared about us as a couple and it was clear to us that she was committed to making sure our day wen smoothly. We are so grateful we found her and HIGHLY recommend her for any of your photography needs!!

Wow! Where to start?? 1. Alayna is amazing! 2. Alayna's pictures are the most beautiful photos I've ever seen. 3. See 1 and 2. But honestly - Alayna is incredible. She is so easy to work with and so professional. She is creative and saw beauty is spaces I would have walked right by. Some of our best pictures were her saying "let's try this!" and us trusting the process and I'm SO glad we did! From the start, we had a great time. She took our engagement photos a year and a half before the wedding. Back then she was super easy to work with, then when it came time for the wedding day it was like hanging out with an old friend again. Both my husband and I are not comfortable in front of the camera, but Alayna made us shine! Our wedding album came back less than two weeks after the wedding and I cried the biggest happy tears seeing how she was able to capture all of the love and joy felt that day. We had some family cancel at the last minute, but Alayna was flexible and helped us to make it work. We had an unconventional photo timeline due to said family complications, but she worked with us and was able to capture all of the pictures that we wanted and more. She was patient with our less-than-sober wedding party and she made sure that she captured everything we wanted before moving on to the next group. I cannot recommend Alayna enough!!!
