Katie and Derek’s wedding at Villa Parker in Parker, Colorado was one for the books and one of my favorite days ever! It was my first time photographing at Villa Parker and it did not disappoint! Villa Parker is the most gorgeous venue with Italy like vibes and architecture that is also so close to Denver! If it isn’t on your list of wedding venues to check out I highly recommend adding it!

Katie and Derek are two of the sweetest people ever and I had so much fun being a part of their day and getting to know them over the course of their engagement!

Like many other couples, their day was affected by all the hiccups of COVID. After several reschedules, when it finally got to happen it was SO worth it and even more special!

I am so grateful for these two and to have the best job and clients on earth. Katie and Derek, I love you guys!

“Just WOW! Alyssa is absolutely AMAZING! I hired Alyssa in April 2019 for my October 2020 wedding. She was the first vendor I picked and all my dates were around her availability. I found her through hashtags on Instagram and immediately fell in love with her work. We did our engagement shoot in January 2020 at Lake Dillon and Bread Bar, everyone kept complimenting on how wonderful the photos were! We also got stuck in traffic for three-plus hours so Derek and I became fast friends with Alyssa! Our October wedding was postponed to May 2021. Alyssa was so cooperative in the date change. Again, I picked my new date around her schedule. Day of Alyssa was so professional and organized. She knew how important the photos were to me and made sure to capture every detail big and small! We paid for a second shooter as well and that was essential to our large group! We received so many beautiful and wonderful photos that we will cherish forever. I can't say enough how amazing it was to work with Alyssa! I never had to worry about my photos or anything about them. She worked with me on timelines and was able to accommodate so many family portraits in a short amount of time. I have friends and family messaging me left and right saying how stunning the photos turned out! For anyone who's like "I look awful in photos!" Alyssa coordinates and poses you but also moves you around so you are your natural and true self. So important for photos that will last a lifetime. HIRE HER RIGHT NOW! (and fast!!)” - Katie + Derek
