wedding proposal

for Catherine & Austin

Catherine and Austin,

It was a pleasure speaking with you last night! I am so excited for your wedding next year, and I love that you chose Sands Point Preserve. I adore your vision for a wedding that creates visual and experiential special moments for your guests, the gathering of your friends and family from far and wide, and an incredible party that will be the celebration of the year for you and your guests. I am here to make the photography portion be as seamless as possible, starting with a tailored photography proposal based on the needs and desires you expressed during or call, demonstrating to you that I am not just a run-of-the-mill photographer. Rest assured that all you will have to do is focus on what is truly important- the sweet moments of your big day!

I take a limited number of weddings each year so that I can pour myself into my work and create the ultimate experience for you. I have created a mood board, based on the information you shared, and I hope that you feel seen and heard in your desires and vision for your big day. On your wedding day I'll bring a hand-painted canvas backdrop both for styling flat lays as well as doing some formal, classic style portraits. I have a blue toned one already, but I am also going to paint another one to bring that has the muted blues as well as the creamy and natural tones that you want woven through your wedding day.

Here’s to an amazing time of planning, and one of the most joy-filled times in your life. I hope to be able to work with you!

Love,
Alicia

"THE MOST INCREDIBLE PHOTOGRAPHER."

Let’s be honest - wedding days can be stressful and making sure that everything goes perfectly is hard. But when hriing Alicia, it was as though we had all been friends for years. She made us feel so at ease!

"More beautiful than we could have imagined."

Alicia’s attention to detail, editing, and the way that she is able to capture such intimate moments between a couple in the midst of a wedding is what made her our #1 choice.

- JILL & JOEY

Alicia’s images capture real emotion and the quality is unparalleled. If you let her, she will become a trusted advisor, confidant, and close personal friend. Do not look any further - she is the best of the bests.

- NATALIE & COLBY

"Our images are beyond our expectations."

Alicia is the most perfect photographer we could have chosen for our wedding.  She was fun, professional, kind and helpful. I would say our images are beyond expectations but when choosing Alicia the only option is exceptional.

About your options

Your engagement session is the most important part of your experience with me. Every other photographer will let you dictate exactly where and when your session should be, with little input as to how to dress or how the setting and light will photograph. I go a step further by crafting an epic experience with you that is fun, joyous, and will make your jaw drop when you receive your images and feel like they belong in Vogue or Harpers Bazaar.

SIGNATURE ENGAGEMENT EXPERIENCE

This is an optional service or included in collection I. I would spend an hour photographing all your details the day of the rehearsal (rings, shoes, paper, etc.) so on the wedding day we have more time to just focus on the candid moments!

details hour

Stressed about the timeline? Collection I has the full day covered so it takes out the stress and guesswork! Leading up to your wedding, we will work with you and your planner to decide the best time for us to arrive/leave on your wedding day.

full coverage

I love shooting day-before events because it allows us the chance to meet your friends and family before the wedding. Many of our clients surprise and delight their guests with an immersive experience the day before the big event, and we love to be there to capture it. We often stay for day after events as well- such as brunches, sailboat experiences, or any special activities you have planned for your guests the day following your wedding celebration.

additional coverage

Let the fun begin! Now we brainstorm your engagement experience, ways to level up your wedding , etc. I am so happy to work with you!

questions You might have

questions You
might have

What happens if you get sick?
What are your image turnaround times?
How are my images delivered?
How far will you travel for weddings?
Do you shoot film or digital?
Can I see any full galleries?
Both. I began photography before the digital era and that gave me a love for the beauty and texture of film. I remember the digital world becoming increasingly popular when I was around 17 years old and telling numerous people that I would never switch to digital because “the color and the feel just wasn’t the same”.  At 20 years old, I made the full switch to digital photography as cameras became more advanced, and while digital grew on me, I was reminded of those words I spoke long ago that the color and feel of digital just wasn’t the same. Being confident in both mediums means I bring digital and film cameras and select the best option based on a variety of factors. All film and digital images are processed and cohesively presented together.
Do you shoot film or digital?
What happens if you get sick?
Having an emergency come up immediately before a wedding is a circumstance I have yet to encounter (knock on wood)—and an unpleasant thought for everyone involved. Leading up to a wedding, I plan my life carefully to ensure my health is in top form and that I have ample travel time. Should unforeseen circumstances prevent us from attending your wedding, I will do my best to arrange a replacement photographer of equivalent caliber and style—I have a strong network to aid in such an unlikely circumstance.  
What are your image turnaround times?
My work is focused on creating exquisite art using the finest methods and quality products. With a passion for the details, I carefully curate and present each and every project I photograph. Shooting film is not the fastest method, but I recognize it as beautiful enough to take the time needed for it. Turnaround times for engagement and portrait sessions average 3 to 4 weeks. Turnaround times for wedding images is 8 to 10 weeks, but I work hard to deliver them sooner than that.
How are my images delivered?
You'll receive a custom USB drive 8-10 weeks after your wedding, as well as an online gallery with all of your images.
How far will you travel for weddings?
Absolutely anywhere in the world. Having been to 37 countries and lived abroad for 5 years, traveling is one of my favorite parts of the job. Wherever your celebration calls you (from Dubai to Italian villas to the Maldives), I will be there!

the real result

engagement experience

I block out an entire afternoon to spend with you, if necessary, in a location that we’ve mutually agreed upon - whether the bustling metropolis skyline of New York, a sailboat on Long Island sound, your cozy and chic apartment, or perhaps even in Paris or London if you’re up for an epic adventure!

From planning locations to moodboard inspirations and fashion curation, I take great care to help you plan a day that is not only a dream shoot, but also has aspects that document the life you currently live. It’s truly not just a session. This is a day to reminisce, live in the moment and dream together.

And in the end, you’ll have photos that document your life and your love; your every day, raw and real, intimate and genuine, love.

in their words

"Our experience working with Alicia and her team for our engagement photos was phenomenal. Not only is her work utterly stunning and timeless, she and her team are a pleasure to work with. Always professional and at the same time, genuine and down-to-earth, Alicia put us at ease with her expertise, organizational abilities, and her wonderful personality. Alicia’s elegant, timeless style was what interested us in working with her, but her professionalism and personality are what sealed the deal. We have absolutely no regrets. We know our engagement photos will be treasured, cherished family heirlooms for generations to come and it makes us even more excited for our wedding photos. Our images are beyond our expectations."
