We planned our wedding from Alberta so having a photographer we could rely on was a key element to planning our wedding. Alyssa was amazing to work with throughout the whole process. She does amazing work but she is also just a great person to work with. She made us SO comfortable and made the whole day (+planning process) feel so much more relaxed. Her package options were exactly what we needed and she was open to being a little flexible with additions for us as well! When we needed our engagement shoot to be within a 3 day window when we visited the island she had no issues making it work and finding the PERFECT location. She was able to pose us and help us to be less awkward. Looking through the photos she made us look AMAZING even though we had no idea what we were doing and needed ALL the direction. Our wedding day was PERFECT. She noticed at one point I was overwhelmed and pulled us to the side and took us off location to do our couple portraits to help me get away from the day a bit. She was so helpful to direct people and made sure to check in with me through the day and show me some of the photos she had taken. Our sneak peak is all we have so far (our wedding was just last week) and they are PERFECT. Her photography and editing style is FLAWLESS. I have nothing else to say but you will not regret using Alyssa for your event. I absolutely do not believe our wedding would have been the same without her in the process!
We cannot recommend Alyssa enough. We reached out to Alyssa when she first began booking weddings and we immediately clicked. After our engagement session she felt like a friend and continued to be there for us as we planned and then postponed (due to covid) and then planned our wedding again. She helped our wedding day run more smoothly and jumped over the hurdles that we experienced on our wedding day to ensure she captured all of the moments that were important to us. We loved having Alyssa join us.

Choosing Alyssa as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made - our wedding photos turned out even more amazing than we could have imagined. Before we booked with her, she took the time to meet with us, learn about us as a couple and make sure she knew what we were looking for as our end result. She was great at communicating throughout our planning process and was prepared with suggested photo locations in the Charlottetown area based on our needs. On the big day she was extremely professional and made us feel so comfortable, constantly reminding us that it was our day and we could do whatever we wanted to do. She went along with all our crazy ideas, including running around to every table within the span of one song to get a photo with all our guest tables. Looking through the photos is like reliving the entire day - she captured the sweetest, most genuine moments between not only us, but among our guests as well which was really important to us 🤍

Working with Alyssa Matthews Photography was an absolute pleasure right from the start! When we met to do our engagement photos she was able to easily match our vibes and capture our humour and fun, and we instantly knew that she was the right person to capture our wedding. On our wedding day, she was incredibly professional, diligent, and so much fun, and easily worked with our schedule. Alyssa provided clear communication, responded promptly, and thought creatively when capturing our special moments. Thank you so much Alyssa!

Alyssa Matthews despite being 6 months pregnant jumped high and low to make sure we got the perfect shots. She made sure everyone in our family was included and made sure to check in with us incase she missed anyone. She captured the essence and magic of our wedding - and despite being on a shorter time crunch, did not make us feel rushed or anxious. She gently asked if we wanted to get some sunset pictures and boy am I glad we did. She also had an assistant with her that helped a great deal. Not only that, her pricing was very very reasonable ! Hopefully we both won’t ever have to - but we’d use her again (haha). Maybe for renewing our vows

Alyssa did an incredible job with our engagement photos. She made the photo shoot super fun and comfortable. I was a little nervous about the posing but she made everything feel very candid and easy! My fiancé even said he didn’t expect to have so much fun during a photo shoot. The photos are stunning and something we will treasure forever. I can’t recommend Alyssa enough and can’t wait for her to be part of our wedding day!

Alyssa was such a great choice for our wedding photographer - from the start of planning we knew we wanted someone to capture the intimate moments of our day and someone who could roll with our laid back, easygoing attitude. We took a look at Alyssa’s previous wedding photos and knew she was the one for us based on the natural vibes! Before the wedding we met with Alyssa virtually to confirm all the details. She gave lots of great tips and made sure to confirm what was most important to us to capture. On the wedding day Alyssa made sure to give us all direction, but also allow the moments to fall into place naturally so we never felt forced or over posed. And we had a lot of fun laughing and leaping into each others arms! The sneak peak pictures were ready so quickly, and we were so excited to see the first record of our day - and it was perfect. She knew all the good spots to take pictures so we ended up with a great variety of beautiful backdrops. Overall, Alyssa managed to capture the pure joy and fun of the day, and we can’t thank her enough for being such an awesome photographer.

I truly cannot say enough good things about Alyssa. Despite the torrential rain, she rolled with the punches and beautifully captured our wedding day. She made us feel comfortable and easily made us laugh. She seamlessly captured each moment and allowed us to be present throughout the day. I am so happy with the results and I will treasure these memories forever.
