I love bright, authentic, joyous, and vibrant photos. Going on adventures with my couples is what I live for. Hikes, waterfalls, deep in the woods, you name it! Rain? No problem! I love leaving a session with a big smile on my face because it was filled with laughter.

I love photographing weddings all over beautiful New York State. When you book a session with me you will have a mix of posed and candid photos. You don't have to worry about feeling uncomfortable in front of the camera either. We get those jitters out right away!

Your SYRACUSE NY Photographer

Hi, I'm Alicia

Portfolio

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

My son, Logan, is a kind hearted, silly, high energy boy. He loves sports and has the best one liners. Ryder is an Australian Shepard, Husky, Rottweiler mix. He is a big ball of energy and a perfect fit for our family. I grew up in Baldwinsville and that is where I currently live. When I was younger I would always steal my moms camera. In high school I took photography. I learned everything in the dark room. My love for photography didn't stop there and that is why I do what I do. I love capturing love. 

I went to SUNY Oneonta and thought I wanted to be an english teacher... after changing my major a few times I ended up back at photography.  After finishing up at Oneonta, I went to SUNY Oswego to get my masters in Art Education. During this time I photographed my first wedding!

A Look into my

Life

1 / 2

My son, fiancé 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.

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 is the total package! Not only is her work amazing, she is friendly, knowledgeable, and organized - all qualities you need for an excellent photographer during one of the most chaotic moments that you want to remember your entire life. On our wedding day, Alicia showed up and got right to work taking ALL the pictures and didn’t stop until we were walking out the door at the end of the night. Alicia made sure we got all the shots we wanted during both our engagement shoot and wedding. She has an eye for detail - something I didn’t know I needed until I saw my wedding pictures. Besides having a total blast with her while taking pictures, I found myself looking to her with all of my wedding related questions. Do not hesitate on booking Alicia - her prices are more than fair and her sneak peeks and album turn around is timely. She is professional and knows what she’s doing!"

" Alicia is wonderful to work with. She is such a genuine person and makes the whole experience fun! Planning a wedding through Covid, Alicia was incredibly flexible and understanding. She helped to ease our worries and make sure we still had an enjoyable day. She captured both the big moments and the small, and her photos are beautiful. The lighting she gets is perfect! We plan to have Alicia continue to capture all our life milestones! You will be so happy you chose her as your photographer!"
-Kaitlyn B.

" Our wedding was a small elopement in Watkins Glen NY at the Idlwilde Inn. There was only the 2 of us and our 2 best friends as witnesses. Alicia was the perfect choice and we couldn't have pulled it off without her. She was so easy to work with and was invaluable with her helpful tips and suggestions. Her pricing for our small and short ceremony was very reasonable. The pictures came out better than I ever could have hoped. You need Alicia Pierce Photography to capture your treasured memories."
-Lynda B.
