About The Candid Image
The Candid Image
I believe your wedding photos should feel like you — full of emotion, connection, and real, unscripted moments. With years of experience behind the camera and a calm, intuitive approach, I work closely with each couple to make the experience feel effortless and fun — even for the camera-shy. Your love deserves to be documented authentically, and that’s exactly what I’m here to do.
What makes my work different is how I approach storytelling. I don’t just take pictures — I observe, anticipate, and capture the moments you didn’t even realize were happening. My style is deeply candid and emotion-driven, allowing you to relive the day exactly as it unfolded. I’m not just there for the big moments — I’m there for your moments. My goal is to create images that hold feeling in every frame — the kind you’ll proudly hang on your wall or flip through years from now on your bookshelf.

Awesome Photographer!!
The Candid Image was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. From the moment we first spoke with them, we could tell they were a friendly, polite, and knowledgeable team who were passionate about capturing our special day. They came prepared with great ideas and worked closely with us to ensure they understood our vision. On the wedding day, they were professional and discreet, seamlessly blending into the background to capture all the important moments. The resulting photos are stunning - they truly have an eye for detail and a talent for preserving the candid, intimate moments that make a wedding day so special. We are thrilled with the work The Candid Image did and would recommend them to any couple looking for exceptional wedding photography.

Candid Turned Movie Star
The Candid Image was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. Alyssa and her team were fun, easy-going, and extremely professional. They were tech-savvy and communicated with us seamlessly throughout the planning process. The quality of their work was truly exemplary - their creative and surprising shots perfectly captured the essence of our special day. Alyssa has an exceptional eye for detail and lighting, making our photos look effortless and captivating. Her pricing was extremely fair, and the final product was worth far more than we paid. I would hire Alyssa and The Candid Image team again in a heartbeat for any photography needs, from headshots to weddings and beyond. They are beyond talented and gifted at what they do. Here is some of her exquisite work…
Response from vendor•Jun 16, 2025Oh my gosh, Susan! this means so much to me thankyou for sharing - I'll have to post more from your day, thank you for working with me - I love reminiscing back on some of the first weddings I shot.ican’t say enough wonderful things about Alyssa!
She is incredibly professional, detail-oriented, and makes everyone feel completely comfortable and at ease. She captured all the little moments — including the ones most didn’t even realize were happening — and turned them into photos that will be treasured forever. The ability to blend in effortlessly, while still making sure all the shots wanted were captured, truly shows her expertise and passion for what she does. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your special day with the care and artistry it deserves, I 100% recommend The Candid Image/ Alyssa.
