Testimonials

What Past Couples Say

In Their Own Words.

We’re endlessly thankful for the love that we get to document. These reviews share the moments our couples treasure and what it felt like working with Alera.

"From the very beginning, they came prepared with a detailed timeline for the day, which helped everything run so smoothly. We never felt rushed, and yet they captured every important moment beautifully."

Emily Nilsen

"Hiring Alera Weddings was the best decision we made for our wedding. They made not only us, but our families and wedding party SO comfortable the entire day, which allowed everyone to relax, be themselves, and enjoy the day to the fullest extent."

Jordan Scoggins

"Getting my husband to be comfortable in front of a camera is no simple task but I am in awe over every picture of him from our wedding! The quality of work is outstanding. The Photos are perfect and I'm so thankful!"

Ally Pollich

"I am by no means an influencer or anyone important on socials, but by golly, I could be one using my wedding photos by Alexis and her team. Do yourself a favor and book with her, but hurry, she books up quick!"

Rachel Barrish

"My husband and I can’t stop looking at all the pictures and moments captured. Looking through each picture had me falling in love with my wedding day all over again."

Megan Price

"From our engagement photos to our (hundreds!) of wedding photos. I cannot recommend Alera more to any future brides and wish I could have a wedding part 2 to work with them further! "
