The Talented Photographer was an absolute dream to work with for our wedding. From the very first interaction, Alec's communication style was fun, professional, and incredibly personable. He had a true passion for his craft that shone through in every interaction. The quality of Alec's work was absolutely stunning - we got a wonderful variety of candids, formal shots, and editorial-style pictures that captured all the special moments of our day. Alec has an incredible eye for the right shots, and the final photos are absolutely gorgeous. Despite a complicated location schedule that I was worried about, Alec made the whole day seamless, traveling to over 4 different spots to ensure we got all the groupings and special shots we wanted. Alec truly went above and beyond, and we had such a great time working with him. I'm obsessed with the pictures and would give him an 11/10 rating!

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Hi I’m MacKenzi a native to Colorado and a creative at heart. I’ve been capturing love stories and lifestyle sessions for over five years, all around the country. In that time I have won national photography awards and have been featured in numerous magazines and blogs. When I’m not behind the camera I’m behind a desk on my way to law school specializing in business law. I’m also a mama to a beautiful baby boy who inspires me everyday. You can always catch me watching re-runs of The Office and eating as much street tacos as I can.

Our relationship with Mackenzi is more than a year old. We initially worked with her to do our engagement photo session at Garden of the Gods which ended up being our elopement wedding photo shoot. Mackenzi was completely accommodating to our last minute change. She makes taking what can sometimes be awkward and staged photos a breeze by knowing what she wants and giving great instruction to the subjects to help them help her take amazing shots. Her easy going personality will make anyone at ease, even those who feel uncomfortable having photos taken like the groom. She turns around edits very quickly and produces overall excellent product. During the wedding she was so helpful going above and beyond taking photos to almost being another planner making sure people were where they needed to be when they needed to be there for key moments she was trying to capture to preserve amazing memories from the event. Highly recommend Mackenzi for any special photos you are looking to have taken but from personal experience can specifically recommend engagement and wedding photography.

Dion Lawson is a photographer, content creator, and filmmaker based in Colorado. Raised in the Washington DC area, Dion was drawn to spending as much time as possible outdoors (hence the move to Denver) which allowed him to use natural light as a starting point to create his art. Creating his art in its natural light also taught Dion how to manipulate all forms of light to get the most artistic imagery he could imagine.

I am blown away by the photos we received from our engagement and wedding session with Dion. He was responsive and professional but most of all he made my fiancee and I feel very comfortable during our session. He went above and beyond my expectations and ensured we received the highest quality photos.

June of 2012. Just two months after my mom was critically injured and hospitalized. I began using my camera as an emotional outlet. I started taking portraits for family and friends, and eventually, photographed a courthouse wedding. As time went on, it hit me: These photos are freaking important! And I knew from personal experience that these moments, & the people in them, aren't going to be here forever. That camera became so much more than an outlet. It gave me purpose. And now I see my job as an act of service to you. I'm honored to use my talents and skills to deliver what really matters: TANGIBLE MEMORIES OF YOU & THE ONES YOU LOVE

I truly do not even know where to begin regarding my experience with Alyssa and her team at Alyssa Morgan Photography. Over the past 2 years planning our wedding, Alyssa became much more than a vendor; she became a friend and trusted wedding planning confidante. From the moment I met her on my first wedding planning scouting trip (we live in NJ and had a destination wedding in Islamorada), I KNEW she was the photographer for us. Her photos clearly speak for themselves (I mean come ON, they are like something out of a magazine), but her personality (awesome), knowledge of the area (she is a Keys native, which is SO important when having a destination wedding in my opinion – you need someone familiar with the lighting, the locations, etc.), and her overall expertise in the industry (she even coaches other photographers!) truly make her worth every penny. This girl is worth her weight in GOLD and MORE. Alyssa photographed our engagement shoot almost 2 years ago, which helped us to get to know each other more. She knew how to make my then-fiancé laugh and even SMILE in front of the camera (which is not his favorite place to be) and make us look like supermodels in the process. We have her shots of us hanging all over our home because they are too beautiful not to show off. Despite COVID, missing out on our additional wedding planning trips due to the pandemic, and the overall unknown that was our wedding over the past year (we were worried we would have to postpone, cancel, etc.), she was virtually by our side every step of the way. Keeping us filled in on the state of the Keys, helping us troubleshoot obstacles, and keeping me calm in the process. When it came to our wedding, obviously as a bride it is a very overwhelming and nerve wracking day, but when Alyssa and her team of Kat (2nd shooter) and Kurt (videographer – we never even wanted a videographer until Kurt jointed her team and I saw his work and I am SO glad we decided to do it!!!), I instantly felt better. She worked with me and our planner before the wedding to put together a detailed outline of the day, photography timeline, important shot list, and she even helped me pull off a surprise first look for my fiancé with his best man dressed in a wedding dress to calm his nerves too! The day went off seamlessly, she coordinated us, our family, friends, bridal party, extended family to make sure every shot we wanted was taken. We got our sneak peeks back within days and my *husband* and I spent the remainder of our minimoon entranced by them! I always told Alyssa that photography was THE MOST important aspect of my wedding (I am a huge picture person) – and we COULD NOT BE HAPPIER that we chose her to shoot the most important day of our lives. We WILL be returning to the Keys and look forward to Alyssa shooting things like our anniversaries, pregnancy photos, and family photos in the years to come. **In summary, if I can just drive home just one point: IF YOU ARE GETTING MARRIED IN THE KEYS AND NOT USING ALYSSA FOR PHOTOGRAPHY: YOU.

I love my work so much because each day I’m reminded that capturing a moment in time reveals how rich our lives and our world truly is! I’m a romantic who genuinely cares about hearing all the details of your unique love story, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such a joyous day. From capturing your beautiful and unique details, to your heart-felt emotions, I strive to preserve the true essence of each individual and each moment. I can’t pause time, but my goal is to tell your love story, and create timeless images that will have you reliving those precious moments of your special day for years to come.

We are passionate about photographing kind-hearted people who are unapologetically themselves, and creating a safe and beautiful space in the wedding world for LGBTQ+ folx. Our favorite people to work with believe in giving back to their communities, that black lives always matter, that climate change is you know...real, and choose to embrace their own unique quirks and talents.

Shawnee was an unbelievable photographer and such a special part of our wedding weekend. From the moment we reached out to her to getting our pictures, she has been incredibly communicative, easy to work with, and deeply kind. She made us feel so at ease and taken care of at our Rehearsal Dinner and on our wedding day. She not only allowed us to be our fullest selves but also encouraged capturing us in ways that felt authentic and not stuck in expected wedding photos or gender roles. She captured our guests so beautifully too, particularly the kids who were in our wedding. Everyone's personalities shone through so wonderfully and the picture are absolutely stunning. We cannot believe how many and how incredible each and every photo is. We cannot recommend Shawnee enough!
