About Velvet Hour Photography

Velvet Hour Photography

Owner and Head Photographer

Velvet Hour Photography is all about capturing weddings in a way that feels natural, emotional, and true to you. I focus on real moments, real connection, and portraits that still feel effortless and beautiful. I want your photos to feel like your day ,not stiff, overly posed, or trendy in a way that won’t age well. I’m passionate about telling love stories honestly and giving couples images they can actually feel when they look back on them. Your wedding isn’t just a timeline to me, it’s a story, and I treat it like one.

I blend documentary-style moments with guided, relaxed portraits so you get the best of both worlds emotional candids and photos you’ll want to frame. I care a lot about how your day feels, not just how it looks, and I bring a calm, steady presence so you can actually enjoy it. I don’t over-direct or force awkward poses. I help you feel comfortable and let real connection lead. My goal is for your gallery to look like you, not like a styled shoot that could belong to anyone.

    and professional. She always wanted to make sure we were on the same page with style and what kind of photos we wanted. On our wedding day she acted almost as another coordinator to make sure we had everything we needed, and she also made sure we were always having fun. I've gotten so many compliments from our wedding guests and friends who have seen our photos. The photos she took were absolutely perfect, they were exactly what we were looking for and I feel like she captured the mood of the day and our love for each other beautifully!!! About 3 days after the wedding Alysa calls me to say she's finished our ENTIRE gallery, when I wasn't expecting anything until 8-10 weeks after our wedding date, which I think is what our contract said! I was hoping for a few sneak peeks within a week but she worked overtime because she was proud of her work and wanted to share it with us. Her artistry and drive to share her art was so admirable and we couldn't be more grateful!! I've booked another small photo shoot with her for some more professional photos because I trust her and the way she views things through her lens. I would hire Alysa time and time again for our wedding photos, as well as literally any other photography work we would need. She's a true artist and an absolute joy to work with!

    Alysa is THE BEST!!! I wish I could give her more than 5 stars. She is the kind of photographer that you feel like you can completely be yourself with and makes taking pictures fun! Throughout the whole process she was so professional and so easy to communicate with. She made taking pictures feel so comfortable and natural and truly captured the most beautiful moments from our engagement session to our wedding day. I was absolutely in love with all of our pictures and she got our pictures back in a timely manner and I was absolutely in awe when I saw them all! She also did amazing helping us plan out a timeline for our wedding day and made the day go so smoothly and was right there when I needed her for something! She is truly the best!!
