Kelsey and Kaleb.

There are so many things I would like to say about these two. They became some of my dear friends and their wedding was everything I dreamed about and then some. I remember talking  to Kelsey on the phone for the first time, we talked for over an hour which seemed like a few minutes.. I knew that her and Kaleb were my people. The way they love each other  is inspiring and so beautiful. To this day I see their sweet posts on facebook about each other and it makes my heart smile.

I was so lucky to be present and capture their beautiful ceremony, Kaleb made all the guys look bad with his tears of joy when he saw his beautiful bride for the first time. Their vows were simple and beautiful and made everyone cry and laugh. And the party was one of a kind too. I am so grateful for Kaleb and Kelsey and that they found each other and that i got to meet them.

I wanted to share a few beautiful words that Kelsey and Kaleb sent me about their experince working with me:

” I had fallen in love with Alyona’s pictures years ago and had been following her page ever since. Alyona was promptly on time and ready to work! From the start she was dishing out compliments to everyone which made us all feel wonderful about ourselves and comfortable around her. Everyone knows how hard it is to get guys to pose for pictures for very long, let alone how awkward they get when they finally get in front of the camera. That wasn’t the case with our guys! Kaleb said Alyona made the guys sessions feel comfortable, energetic, quick and most of all fun! Anyone can tell by just looking at the pictures of the guys that they were eating it up. They not only felt but looked like absolute studs! Now, when it comes to girls, we criticize ourselves probably too much. The amazing part every single girl said they loved the pictures. We were laughing and having fun the whole time.Throughout the day she would direct us do different things so that the pictures would look the best. I loved that she was always honest and would change things if they needed to be because in the heat of the moment we wouldn’t think of those things but she’s an expert at what does and knows the dos and don’ts. she made us feel like absolute models. We kept laughing and having a good time the whole time.We can’t thank her enough for all that she has done for us. We were hoping for a good photographer but we got an AMAZING photographer and gained such a special lady into our lives. Love you Alyona!”
