My name is Alyson
Somewhere around 14 I picked up my first camera and never looked back. I initially fell in love with photography as an art form for self-expression and making sense of how I fit into the world. Over the years that love has morphed into a medium to document other peoples stories in artistic and meaningful ways all over the world.
Based in Seattle, on my off days, I'm typically working on editorial & personal photo work, planning dinner parties with friends, & spending time at my partners old family cabin nestled in the woods.
My Style
In a state of constant learning, I find my inspiration comes from ever-changing sources. Cinema, design, architecture, fashion, and the little in-between moments of everyday life all influence how I see the world and how I document it. I find I'm most drawn to capturing quiet understated beauty... little moments with big impact that grow sweeter with time.
On a wedding day, I believe there's a time and place for creating fine art editorial images, and a time to just step back and let the day unfold as it does, documenting like a fly on the wall. With this combination, I've found my sweet spot in creating not just wedding photos, but timeless & artistic imagery that's apart of something much bigger.
Editorial artistry x Photojournalistic observation
I photograph a hybrid of film and digital photography and find the combination of the two creates the perfect harmony of timelessness, elegance, and character on a wedding day. My digital retouching is heavily influenced by film which creates a sense of cohesion throughout the gallery. At any point on a wedding day, you'll find some sort of digital, 35mm, medium format, and instant polaroid camera wrapped around my neck-- each having their different strengths for different parts of the day.
