A REMBRANDT YARD WEDDING IN BOULDER, COLORADO

Megan and Elliot’s intimate wedding at Rembrandt Yard in Boulder, Colorado was such a blast and so special to be a part of! If you’re looking for a wedding venue in Boulder, Colorado - I highly suggest checking out Rembrandt Yard! It is the cutest little art gallery right in the heart of Boulder.

From the moment Megan initially emailed me, I knew that I was going to photograph her wedding and every time we met in person I knew that we would become great friends! Megan and Elliot are two of the sweetest, most down to earth, fun people I’ve met! Their day was nothing short of who they are as a couple - super laid back and a blast.

We started the day with a first look and intimate vows on Lost Gulch, followed by more photos all around Boulder prior to the ceremony. It was such a blast! Thank you again Megan & Elliot for having me be a part of your day, it was such an honor!

“n a nutshell: Alyssa and her work are amazing! I can’t say enough great things about her. In the whole wedding process, photography was a top priority for me and Alyssa was, by far, the best investment. I found her work on Instagram and within our first email or two we instantly clicked. Leading up to our wedding day she was always available to help and give me ideas especially when it came to timeline process (which to me, was invaluable). She took the couple loose ideas I had for our wedding day and exponentially expanded to it to give us so many amazing shots. Working with her was like having a good friend that just so happens to be an amazing photographer and agreed to work your wedding.

What also sets Alyssa apart is her ability to capture amazing moments not only outside in nature but also indoors in a more “traditional” setting seamlessly all in one day. I wanted a mountain elopement but also knew we needed a typical wedding ceremony/reception. Alyssa was so enthusiastic and on board when I explained how we wanted to do private vows in the mountains in a spot special to us before the more typical ceremony/reception later on at an art gallery. She assured me both locations would be great and that she enjoyed photographing both kinds of settings (and not just the epic mountain top pictures that we all love looking at).

My husband and I are not very photogenic people and we didn’t invest in engagement photos to get in a “test run” but Alyssa put us at ease and gave us just the right amount of direction to help us get amazing shots while staying natural and true to ourselves. Alyssa was able to catch the best candid shots at every stage of the wedding day- no matter where we were or how many people were around. She took so many pictures from that day and they are all so spectacular. I honestly can’t even narrow down favorites since they’re all so unique and perfect to who we are. A couple days after the wedding she sent about six “sneak peak” photos and just those six photos alone were worth hiring Alyssa. Once we got the full album both my husband and I were over the moon with her work. She captured us and the moments perfectly.” - Megan
