I love weddings because they are more than pretty details and perfectly posed portraits—they’re about people, connection, emotion, and legacy. I love capturing the in-between moments: the laughter, the happy tears, the messy, magical, real stuff. That’s what lights me up.

I am blessed to have a job surrounded by so much joy.... And if I get to be the person who helps you relive your favorite day forever? Well, that’s the best job in the world.

Hi, I'm Alicia

am so excited you're here. I am your award winning Syracuse NY Wedding photographer! My love for photographing weddings began in 2012.

I

Say Hello

If you follow me on Instagram, you’ve probably met my two sidekicks: my hilarious, kind-hearted 11-year-old son, Logan, and our energetic American Staffy mix, Ryder. Logan keeps me laughing with his quick one-liners and endless energy (he’s all about sports these days), and Ryder? He’s a lovable ball of zoomies who fits right into our chaos—in the best way.

Fun fact: I was annoyed with my husband for missing trash pickup right before he proposed. Spoiler alert: I said yes anyway.

am a mom, wife, and proud dog mom living in Baldwinsville, NY, where I grew up and still call home.

I’ve always had a camera in my hand—even as a kid, I was the one stealing my mom’s camera and snapping everything in sight. I officially fell in love with photography in high school, where I learned to shoot and develop film in the darkroom (yep, the old-school way). That spark never went out.

I originally thought I’d become an English teacher and started at SUNY Oneonta—but after a few major changes, I found my way back to photography. I later earned my Master’s in Art Education from SUNY Oswego, and during that time… I photographed my first wedding..... And just like that, I was hooked.

How It All Started:

A Look into my

Life

1 / 2

My son, husband and dog are everything to me! They are my "why". I would pick a day home with them over anything else. I love to cozy up with a soft blanket on the couch and cuddle with them while we watch the same Disney movie for the 100th time. 
If we aren't spending the day at home, we are out hiking.  Being outside and exploring new places puts me at ease. I love photographing weddings because they bring me to so many amazing venues I normally wouldn't be able to see.

My Favorite Things

I love coffee mugs. I look forward to picking out my mug every morning. To me, the mug I drink my coffee out of every morning matters. I have an AMAZING coffee mug shelf on the kitchen wall that holds 20 mugs. Of course my cabinets are overflowing with mugs too.

"Alicia was such an amazing photographer for our engagement photos and wedding photos.
She is extremely professional and responsible. She would respond back whenever we reached out via email, text, or social media.
Alicia did a great job getting all of the photos taken that we asked for, getting photos guests asked for, and getting photos that we didn’t even know we needed! So many of our wedding guests complimented how hard working and professional she was at our wedding. Just got a sneak peek of our wedding photos and we are so in love with the pictures already. I cannot recommend her enough !!"
-Mary S.

"We can’t say enough good things about working with Alicia for our engagement photos and wedding! Both my husband and I hate being the center of attention and were nervous our photos would all feel awkward and staged - but Alicia made us feel comfortable from the moment we met her. She took the time to get to know us and our style during our engagement shoot and gave us the direction we needed to be natural and have fun. She offered us tips for our wedding day outside of just photography related questions and was always available for whatever we needed. On our wedding day, Alicia was truly a professional from start to finish while also having it seem like another friend was there supporting us. She wrangled our young nieces and nephew for photos, dealt with unexpected photo op requests from guests, and remembered to find us at the end of the night for a photo we wanted once it was dark out. Her second shooter was amazing too and kept us calm and laughing the whole time. We are so lucky that our wedding day memories can live on through her beautiful photographs."

"Alicia did an amazing job for our engagement photos & wedding photos! She is down to earth, jokes around & has an eye for photos! If I need to have photos done again down the road, I will be reaching out to her again! She’s so patient & organized as well. Definitely recommend Alicia!"
-Nicole T.

"I’m so glad we had Alicia capture the happiest day of our lives! She did a beyond beautiful job, and not only does she take amazing pictures but she is such a wonderful person! She is so very kind and would always go out of her way to check in with us during our process of wedding planning. I barely noticed her during the wedding and when I saw the pictures she took of us I couldn’t help but cry tears of happiness at how wonderful they came out! Alicia gave us beautiful pictures of our wedding we will be able to cherish the rest of our lives and I am so grateful for that!"
-Kristen S.

"Alicia is such a pleasant person to work with and she cares SO much about what she does. She truly goes above and beyond to capture the most beautiful moments for her clients. She's so creative and down to Earth; working with her is a breeze! Alicia always makes us feel so comfortable, and knows exactly what poses make the best shots. She pays close attention to detail and doesn't miss a beat! She really is the absolute BEST!!! I stare at our wedding pictures every single day in awe. I can't thank her enough for capturing every moment and gifting us with the most precious memories that we will cherish for a lifetime. I would recommend her over and over again! We can't wait to have her capture our future memories!"

"Alicia is amazing at her job. She captured our wedding day perfectly, taking the most beautiful pictures. She is so easy to work with and was flexible to our wants and needs. She is organized and helped to ensure that the entire day went by smoothly and as we wanted. Not only was she professional, but she was so personable she became a friend which made the day so much more comfortable and fun. She absolutely knows what she’s doing and was fantastic at being able to lead us through the day. I would recommend her to anyone and hope to use her in the future!"
-Taylor B.

"Working with Alicia was amazing! She made everyone comfortable and her photos were everything we could have imagined and more. From two people who don’t like taking pictures, it couldn’t have been a better experience. She was there to capture the big moments and the smallest of details. We loved reliving our wedding day through the pictures!"
-Heather D.

"Stop looking for a wedding photographer and book Alicia immediately! Alicia was a blast to work with and talk to every time we met with her. From the engagement session, zoom meetings, right down to when we received our wedding album she was amazing. On our wedding day she made us laugh during stressful moments and she even stayed late to make sure we got our last dance photos. She gave us the best memories of our special day. Any time we need photos taken in our future we will be contacting Alicia! Alicia doesn’t just take a picture, she takes them perfectly."
-Mikayla R.
