Building a real connection with you is the heart of how I work. When I know you, your person, and what matters most, I can photograph your day in a way that actually feels like you.
Rooted in connection. Captured with intention.
We’ll take the time to talk through your vision, your priorities, and the feeling you want your wedding day to hold. That understanding shapes everything: how I show up, how I guide you, and how your story comes through in the images.
A look into my process.
Every couple and every wedding is different. I’ll help guide you through timeline planning, lighting suggestions, and photo logistics but always with space for real life to unfold. This isn’t about a perfectly curated shot list, it’s about creating space for the magic to happen naturally.
plan with care.

I show up ready to support you and your people with cameras in hand, eyes wide open, and heart fully in it. I’ll gently direct when needed, and step back when the moment calls for stillness. You’ll feel both held and free knowing that someone who genuinely gets you is there to document it all.
Your wedding day.
3 / 4
I don’t rush this part because your story deserves to be told with care. You’ll receive a full gallery filled with real, emotional, artful images. The loud joy, the quiet glances, and everything in between. The big moments and the blink-and-you’ll-miss-it kind.
After the day.

CLIENT TESTIMONIAL
frequently asked questions
Working with Alora was amazing. She checked in often and shared helpful tips that made me feel secure from the start. She is kind, patient, and incredibly talented, and she made us feel comfortable the whole time. I always tell people she is the most talented photographer I have ever seen. Her work is authentic and natural, and my family still says we have the best wedding pictures out of everyone. After seeing her work, every other photographer seemed subpar. Her edits feel timeless, and even harsh lighting looks good in her photos. I don’t know how she does it.
VERONICA & TYLER SAN DIEGO, CA
I blend documentary and editorial, shooting both digital and film. My focus is honest, in-the-moment storytelling with images that feel intentional and timeless. Film slows me down in the best way and adds that soft, nostalgic touch to your gallery. And even with all the intention, we’ll keep things easy and fun. You get to be yourselves, and I’ll take care of the rest.
Absolutely. Even with an amazing planner, I love offering my own insight, from lighting advice and timeline guidance to vendor referrals and style tips for your engagement session.
You’re not alone. Most couples feel this way. My job is to create an environment where you feel relaxed and like yourselves. I’ll guide you in ways that feel natural, give you space when you need it, and focus on connection over performance. You don’t need to perform for me. You just get to be you.
Yes, please! I love meeting my couples before anything becomes official. We can hop on a call or meet in person if you’re local to talk through your plans, answer questions, and get to know each other. You should feel fully confident in who you’re trusting with your memories.
