Testimonials
We had an absolutely fantastic experience with Alyse as the photographer for our wedding - an event she agreed with only three weeks notice! Never having met before, she simply arrived at our wedding site and hit the ground running. She bopped around taking photos, and 90% of the time we never even noticed she was there. When it came time for the "staged" photographs, we really hadn't a clue what we were doing, and she did a great job suggesting poses and locations. The photos all came out beautifully (and quickly!!), and all of my friends oohed and ahhed over them. It simply could not have worked better for us, and we really lucked out in finding such a wonderful photographer! Alyse is great!

I could not be more pleased with Alyse's work. I was photographed with my four sisters and my daughter in an outdoor location. The results were incredible. From the individual portraits, to the group shots and the maternity photos of my sister, Emily, each photo was well thought through and tells its own story. Alyse's style is unique. She's casual yet poised, personable yet professional, and flexible yet organized. Alyse is fantastic working with large groups and children as well as individuals. Instead of using poses which can often seem stiff or unnatural, she works with the candid motion of her subjects. She offers just the right amount of direction in order to achieve a polished effect. She has the exceptional ability to capture timeless, natural expression and movement against the backdrop of life. I will definitely be recommending her services to anyone who needs a photographer!

Alyse is an amazing photographer. She has a great eye both during and after the shoot when editing. Most of the time, I had no idea why she was picking certain spots or angles or lighting, but she obviously knew something I didn't... just look at those pictures! She's really good at capturing the essence of each person she shoots. She works calmly and always with a smile and a cheerfulness that puts the subject at immediate ease. Definitely a plus when you're sitting through a couple hundred shots."

It was a real pleasure working with Alyse. Not only was the shoot easy going and fun, but the results highly exceeded my expectations (and I had very high expectations). She just seems to see things others don't care to stop and notice. Thanks for a lovely time and I look forward to doing it again.

Kyle and I are so thankful for Alyse taking such beautiful promotional photos for our upcoming tour. Everyone is asking us who took them! Our photoshoot was not only a success, it was FUN! Alyse is a professional beyond her years, and incredibly talented. We felt lucky to have such a creative force working behind the lens! THANK YOU!

I have done portrait sessions with photographers before, but have never felt as satisfied with the finished product or as comfortable during the session as I did with Alyse. Her creative eye combined with her ability to easily spot interesting backgrounds leaves the client with unique and thoughtful pictures. Alyse's approach to the session was both laid back and professional, which allowed us to have fun and be at ease while still producing amazing shots that I will be able to use for various projects. In my profession as a musician I am sure that I will have many circumstances in which I will need current photos, and I look forward to working with Alyse again and would recommend her (without hesitation) to anyone looking for a talented photographer.

Alyse French was an absolute pleasure to work with! I have never had so much fun on a photo shoot. She has a way of implementing a relaxed, yet still professional setting. She knows how to make a photo shoot a light-hearted experience for everyone involved. I admire her ability to capture natural moments rather than posed ones. It gives her work so much more authenticity and originality. Her brilliant portraits will leave you thoroughly impressed and satisfied. She is a genuinely sweet person and always focuses on her clients well being. I love how she gives her clients the freedom to do what feels natural to them. Thats a rare photographic approach and its exactly what makes Alyse French Photography stand out from other photographers.
