CANDID BY NATURE, ELEVATED BY DESIGN — PHOTOGRAPHY THAT WILL MAKE YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH YOUR STORY ALL OVER AGAIN.

A bride and groom standing close together on rocky terrain by the water, with trees and cliffs in the background, during a wedding photoshoot.

Your love story is one of a kind, and your wedding experience should feel just as intentional. From a supportive presence on your day to thoughtfully curated imagery, my goal is to create an experience that is authentic to you while capturing your moments naturally—framed by the landscapes, light, and surroundings that make your day unique.

WHEN THE MUSIC FADES AND THE DAY IS OVER, YOUR PHOTOS ARE WHAT BRING IT ALL BACK—THE LAUGHTER, THE CONNECTION, THE EMOTIONS, THE LITTLE DETAILS, THE WAY IT ALL FELT.

TOGETHER, WE’LL PRESERVE YOUR STORY IN A WAY THAT FEELS TIMELESS, AUTHENTIC, AND ENTIRELY YOUR OWN.

Hey Lovebirds!

I’m Alyssa Lovdahl

A young woman with long, wavy blonde hair and tattoos on her arms, wearing a green sleeveless top and light blue jeans, standing among large green houseplants, looking at the camera.

I capture your love story as it unfolds—authentically, naturally, and against the backdrop of the landscapes you love. Whether it’s the rocky lakeshore, a cityscape, or sunlit forests, I incorporate the world around you so your photos feel alive.

This is your story, and your photos should reflect your connection and the natural beauty that surrounds you. Being able to freeze these moments in time and hand them back to you as lasting memories is at the heart of my work.

LOVE NOTE

“I have only incredible things to say about Alyssa and Lovdahl Photography! She listened to the story of our love, gave ideas on how we could capture what we were dreaming of, and made it happen so beautifully on our wedding day!

Alyssa allowed us to be ourselves and truly get each and every moment that we wanted to be able to relive and look back on.

She was also my wedding hairstylist and absolutely KILLED it with my hair - it was incredibly windy on the shore but my hair literally looked incredible in every photo!

My husband and I literally have been obsessing over the photos and memories of the day since we got our sneak peeks 24 hours after the wedding!”

Why choose the LP wedding experience?

A couple dressed in wedding attire standing on a black sand beach near large rocks, with the ocean and sky in the background.

Alyssa made us SO comfortable even though we felt extremely awkward being in front of the camera. I sent her my Pinterest board inspiration ideas for what I had in my head- and she helped bring that vision to life. She helped us have FUN with the day, helped us laugh and captured genuine moments between my partner and I.

Alyssa

My boyfriend had planned a simple photo shoot for the two of us and our dogs. I had no idea that it was actually a proposal! Being able to look at those photos and relive one of the happiest moments of my life is something I’ll treasure forever. Alyssa was lovely to work with, and is very talented at photographing such unforgettable moments.

Julie

A bride and groom walking hand in hand along a natural trail through a forested area, with the ocean visible in the background on a cloudy day.

Alyssa was very supportive leading up to the wedding, offering vendors recommendations and planning advice. She was the perfect blend of fun and professional all day long. I love how our photos turned out, and it is still so difficult to choose a favorite! I definitely recommend Alyssa with Lovdahl Photography!

 Frequently Asked Questions

  • Totally! Not all love stories are the same and if you think your wedding experience wont fit into the wedding packages, we’ll design one just for you.

  • 1000x YES! I have a totally separate pet photography business and I LOVE animals.

    My bunnies were also a part of our elopement so I know how special it is and I would be happy to help you include your pets.

  • I shoot on a dual slot camera so every photo I take is immediately saved on 2 cards. Right after I leave your wedding I back up the photos onto 2 hard drives so your photos are saved in 4 places while I edit. Even after your gallery is delivered, your photos stay on the 2 hard drives.

  • We will keep an eye on the weather and come prepared with gear and a backup plan. This is just part of having Mother Nature be a part of your day and I’ve yet to see her ruin a wedding day.

    I’ve yet to see moody weather ruin a wedding, if anything it makes for an amazing story and you might be surprised how beautiful the photos turn out.

  • This depends on the package you choose. But as a rule of thumb, you can expect to receive anywhere from 50-75 digitally edited images per hour (mix of color and B&W) from your big day.

  • Of course, I’d love for you to print your favorite photos! A print release is included in all packages so you can print anywhere you’d like.
