WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER SERVING NORTHERN CALIFORNIA & OREGON
and available anywhere love finds you
Hey, I'm Alivia Stradley
Artful storyteller + with a relational approach
I don’t take it lightly when I’m invited into someone’s story. Whether you’re graduating, getting married, welcoming a new life, or want to remember this season just as it is, I approach each moment with care—as if it were my own.
When you book with me, you’re not just getting photos. You’re choosing someone who’s genuinely invested in capturing what matters to you, in a way that feels real and meaningful.
you might be wondering
What makes you different from other photographers?
I take the time to get to know you (& your partner), your dreams for your photos, and create a comfortable environment so you can relax in front of my camera.
I do my best to read the room and give your moments space to unfold, all while I have poses and prompts in my back pocket ready to go, so that you can drop the mental load and just focus on being naturally you. No performance-- just genuine connection.
Ultimately, we are creating art together and I want you to feel that connection with me as your photographer. I wholeheartedly believe that every human being is made in the image of God and that their uniqueness should be honored and treasured.
