Hey! I'm Aly.

I'm a lifestyle, wedding, and elopement photographer based in Grand Rapids, MI but ready to travel anywhere with ya! 

It's so awesome you're here!

I’m Aly! I’m a wedding and lifestyle photographer, ice coffee and pasta connoisseur (not usually at the same time, but hey sometimes it’s just a caffeine and carbs kinda day!), enneagram 2w3, dog mom, plant obsessed, Office quoter, wifey (Grant is definitely my better half), adventurer, and Jesus lover. 

five star reviews

“Seriously guys! Aly has been one of the best decisions I have made for my wedding (which is still over a year away!) Our engagement session she ran flawlessly. She is creative, friendly, flexible and everything you would want in a photographer. Do not hesitate to book with Aly, if you do - you will have every confidence in your photographs and memories for the rest of your life!” - Claire C., bride

I’ve been a photographer since 2019, but have been shooting since I was in college - thank you photojournalism elective! When I’m not photographing a wedding, elopement, engagements, or couples, you’ll probably find me at a coffee shop or buying yet another plant! 

One of the things I love most about this “job” is how it literally takes me all over the map! I love being able to adventure and explore new places - especially when it involves capturing love and sweet sweet memories! If you’re down to grab an ice coffee - even during one of our Michigan winters, are excited to hear stories about my dogs, or down for an epic adventure, I think we will get along just fine!

Let's Hang.
