Worcester Wedding Photographer
Your love is extraordinary. Your wedding photos should be too.
HOW WILL YOU REMEMBER?
Most likely, this is the biggest party you and your fiancée will ever host, probably the most significant to you too. A wedding is a very special day to the couple and to their loved ones that will witness such fleeting moments.
The decision of choosing a true professional wedding photographer is probably one of the most important decisions you will make while planning your wedding.
After all is the one decision that you will be reminded of every time you look at your photos.
I believe I’m not capturing a wedding for today, for the bride and groom only.
I believe I’m capturing a love story that is a foundation to their future family… I want for you, one day when you become parents… to open your wedding album and share these important stories: share how your feelings on that day, the anticipation, the promises, the love, the people, the gown and fashions of the time, all of this and so much more.
I want for your kids to see, thru your precious photographs, their mom and dad so in love.
I want for you to adore your photos, to be proud the way you look on them and treasure them every time you look at your wedding album.
How will you remember and how will you share these priceless memories?
“You don’t take a photograph, you make it.”
Ansel Adams
Storytelling
While a wedding follows a sequence of predictable events. Every wedding day is filled with raw emotions and special people. Unpredictable special little stories within the story of your day. I focus on capturing the hugs that don’t want to let go, the tears that insists on falling and the laughter that can’t be held back.
Whether being your parents that can’t contain the tears during touching moments or the funniest best man speech.
These are precious moments that need to be captured and kept forever.
NATURAL AND MEANINGFULL
Very often people tell us that they look awkward in photos, or that they are not photogenic. I find that they don’t know what to do in front of the camera but also hate being overly posed.
My work is a mix of occasionally observing and capturing without interfering and other times gently posing and prompting for real emotions. The very natural look you see on my work is because I’m very experienced in guiding every couple teaching some basic posing but also putting each couple in their element.
When we work together, you will learn what to do with your hands, how to place your body to camera position etc, it’s really a 5 minutes lesson that helps clients understand how they photograph best… Once you learn these quick tricks you will already look really good. To enhance even further,
as I photograph you, I’ll pay extra attention for details like double chin, your most flattering angle, waiting for the perfect expression, etc. With my direction you will relax and be yourselves, creating images that arenot only flattering but also comfortable, very natural and most importantly meaningful, filled with your true emotions.
I don’t expect that you have experience or know what to do in front of the camera, I’ll guide you as much is needed so you will look amazing and feel really comfortable on your photos.
PROFESSIONAL LIGHTING
There s nothing more beautiful than lighting well used in photographs. But its also important to realize that lighting not used correctly has the power to make a person look really ugly.
On my work I seek light to look natural and artistic, occasionally using a simple window as lighting source or other times, more advanced lighting techniques with flashes cleverly posi– tioned. As photographers, understanding the difference of all scenarios and when to use the best lighting is essential for good photos. My goal as a photographer is to create unique im- ages that are very beautiful, using lighting that makes you look your absolute best.
I have been trained extensively on advanced lighting techniques and I have specialized on lighting for photographing people. You will notice on my work that I always use lighting to create dimension, bring attention to my subject and make you as my subject look really nice.
By only using top of the line equipment, the best cameras and lenses that allow me to photograph in any lighting situation, combined with years of lighitng expertise your photos are guaranteed to be espetacular.
TIMELESS EDITING
With vibrant colors or rich black and whites, my photographs are carefully edited to have natural skin tones and to be timeless.
I avoid following a current trend of applying trendy filters on photos because I strongly believe that your images are not for today only, they need to last.
By being passed down thru generations, your memories will survive the test of time and be as current in 30 years.
THE PROCESS
FROM START, TO FINISH – THE EXPERIENCE
01
Step 1: Lets get to know each other
Beyond considering budget and style of photography, it is super important for us to meet and get to know each other. Understanding what you are looking for, your vibe as a couple and also to meet me, how I work, get to know my vibe as a photographer.
The final result of your wedding photos will depend a lot on how comfortable you feel working with your photographer.
We meet over zoom video call to chat and get a sense if we are a great match to work together.

Step 2: Engagement Session
Other the years I have found that wokring together before the wedding day is always the best idea. On the engagement session I’ll walk you thru a lot of tips on how to stand, what to do with your hands, how NOT to get a double chin, how to show your figure on a slimmer way, etc. By you understanding what looks good on camera, you will feel a lot more confident, therefore more natural too. With this in mind we will also take a variety of styles, some more structured and posed, some more spontaneos not looking at the camera, some having fun like, walking, running, dancing, and some more scenic too where you might be small in the frame and its about the envoriment. Its a great session that leads to amzing images of this fun time.

Step 3: Pre-Wedding Planning Meeting
About 3 months prior to your wedding day, we will have a zoom call to set your Photography Wedding Day Timeline. We will go over all the important things to you and what time we are planning to capture. We will plan the appropriate time for portraits of family and bridal party so you will not feel rushed. I have noticed over the years that people underestimate the amount of time and this leads to a lot of stress, which obviously is not good for such an emotional day already.
We will plan a timeline that covers from getting ready to dancing covering the most important aspects of the day. You will have full input on how you want things to unfold, while we guide you to ideas, and how to maximize the day getting the most out of your wedding photography coverage.
The Timeline planning and execution can make or brake a wedding day.

Step 4: Wedding Day Arrives
Wedding day arrives, you already pass the plans to all the professionals you have hired and now its time to relax and experience your wedding day. Alice and her assistant will arrive about 2 hours prior to Ceremony or First Look to capture the getting into the dress, final touch ups, portraits of the Bride/ Groom after getting ready and we will cover all the in between until about Dancing time. Every wedding is structure differently with many particulars of locations and time of the day, so this is a general idea. But my goal is to tell your story fully and capture the nuances of the day, the emotions, the details, the vibe and gorgeous portraits of the family/ bridal party as well as the romantic photographs.

I have been working with the same assistant for a long time, years. We are a consistent team that work well together. As I’m covering the Bride getting dress, the assistant covers the Groom getting dressed. During more storytelling moments like the Ceremony and Reception we photograph from different angles, for instance I might photograph from he aisle and the assistant might capture candids of parents or guests, or during the speeches I’ll focus on the couple and the assistant will capture the guests. During Formal photos of family and bridal party, the assistant will either capture an alternative angle or will go capture details, decor, the guests at cocktail hour. You get the idea
