PHOTOGRAPHER FOR THE ADVENTUROUS AND MADLY IN LOVE
Born and raised in the beautiful PNW, I love getting to take photographs in the place I call home. I am an inclusive elopement and wedding photographer based in Redmond, but I also like to travel whenever I can! I am a golden hour chaser with a passion for capturing the little details, intimate moments, and telling a story with my images.
I don’t have one negative thing to say about Lyssa! Back in 2020 my husband and I eloped at mount rainier, but on a cloudy day where you couldn’t see the mountain at all, so I’ve been wanting to go back and get the pictures I envisioned. I couldn’t be happier that I went with Lyssa because the pictures are GORGEOUS. Literally the mountain pics of my dreams!! I look at them everyday and feel like a princess. The pictures are not only perfect, but Lyssa was amazing to work with. By the end of the day I felt like I had made a new friend. She was so friendly and super helpful with giving us direction on how to pose, she really went the extra mile to get the perfect shots. I highly recommend working with her! <3
Lyssa,
I wanted to take a moment and say THANK YOU so MUCH for the absolute stunning pictures you have taken!! Seriously! Those are the best wedding pictures I have seen! Your talent is absolutely stunning and all the photos are just beyond amazing! I absolutely love them!!!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Thank you thank you thank you!!!!! We could not have done it without you!
Alyssa is one of the many angels who saved our wedding day! We are so grateful to have met her when we did and that she was so willing to work with our circumstances. Planning a Covid wedding was beyond crazy, but Alyssa took such great care of us and even went beyond her role as photographer to ensure the timeline was right, our dreams and visions for the mood, lighting, and vibe were met. She has great input and is highly sensitive to the ever-complicated dynamics of families — she took initiative to get in touch with our venue coordinator herself and scope out the details prior to the wedding, she even hired a bonus assistant to ensure that every moment was captured. We won’t be going to anybody else for our (hopefully soon!) future baby showers, family photos, anniversaries, etc! You’re a true blessing, Alyssa! Thank you, from the Thackerays!
Absolutely the the best decision we made for our wedding day was to have Lyssalashell Photogaphy capture our day for us! Not only was she amazing during the planning stages, she walked us through everything answering all our questions and to be honest she is the only reason our wedding ran so smoothly! There was so many things that I would have missed or overlooked but she was there to make sure it happened. She captured absolutely everything! I have never liked having my picture taken in fact I can’t remember a single photo of myself ever that I have liked and my husband is very shy and really gets uncomfortable having his picture taken. However, Lyssalashell photography made it so much fun and never once did we feel uncomfortable or nervous with her. To be honest I don’t even know how in the world she got so many amazing shots! I could seriously go on and on about why you should have her capture the special moments in your life, but the only way you will truly see her talent is to meet her and let her do her magic I promise you will not regret it. I can’t thank her enough for amazing memories she captured for us!
