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

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.

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.
