"It felt like we had an old friend celebrating with us at our wedding, it was so special."

She is so warm and friendly that my husband and I felt immediately comfortable at our engagement shoot, even though we were pretty nervous. Aly made great suggestions and listened to ours and made our session so memorable. When I got the photos back, my jaw literally dropped they were so gorgeous. I think my favorite thing about Aly was that while she is always incredibly professional, it felt like we had an old friend celebrating with us at our wedding. It was so special. Thank you for everything, Aly!

"I didn’t feel the need to ask her for certain photos ahead of time because I knew she would capture all the moments we wanted and more without having to be asked."

When looking for a photographer I wanted someone who was different than other photographers. I wanted to have creative photos that you never saw before. Aly was able to do just that. When I show people our wedding photos they are blown away by how beautiful they are. Aly was able to make us feel comfortable through out the whole process.

Paige + Peri

"She captured every emotion, every detail, every candid moment so beautifully that looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. The photos are not just stunning, they’re full of life, love, and personality."

Aly was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. She is unbelievably talented and every single photo she takes is pure magic. Beyond her artistry, Aly is an absolute joy to be around. She’s fun, funny, and has this amazing ability to make everyone feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She brought so much positive energy to the day that even if she wasn’t our photographer, I would have wanted her there as a guest! She was also incredibly efficient and professional, keeping us perfectly on schedule while still making everything feel natural and effortless. We truly can’t imagine our wedding day without her. 

CHRISSY + OMAR

"Every time we lost sight of her, we would turn around and realize she was capturing a beautiful candid shot."

Aly was an excellent listener in our discussions prior to the wedding and also the day of. She was incredibly disarming, totally astute and professional and seemed to truly enjoy herself! We couldn’t be more delighted with the body of work she captured. Also, her editing is wonderfully characteristic. If we have occasion for future photos, I will most certainly be contacting her to see if she would be willing!

Adrienne & Fredi

"I spoke with Aly about the aesthetic and mood I was going for and she beyond delivered"

She listened to our likes and dislikes and made every moment of the day a photo op. Prior to our wedding, I spoke with Aly about the aesthetic and mood I was going for and she beyond delivered. Aly is incredibly talented and I recommend her to any NJ/PA couple.

Brianna + Steve

"She made the experience joyous"

Aly Robertson nailed every single detail of our photo reshoot. She is so creative, has a unique perspective, and catches the exact right shot every single time. My husband and I, our family, and our friends are in awe of the beauty she captured. We would recommend Aly 100x over.

Joelle + Chris

"She made us laugh, forget about everything and just be in the moment."

She goes above and beyond to make sure she gets all the shots you want and conducts herself with a confident yet approachable demeanor that just takes away all of your worries. We could not believe a couple of shots she managed to get in an overcrowded house.

Kelly + NIsheet

"Her photographs now hang all throughout our home."

We found Aly on a whim for our wedding when we decided to get married in 2 weeks notice. And we are so happy that we did because her photographs now hang all throughout our home now as we have hired her for every event since. She is super flexible and gets some amazing shots and has become a forever part of our family.

Emily + Dan

"We received our pictures just one week after our wedding and I was literally brought to tears."

Alexandra's site was unlike any of the other photographers. I recall saying to my then fiancé that there’s no way she’s going to call us back. He said email her you never know. Aly returned my email and the rest is picture perfect history. Aly and Kelly are super creative and they took pictures we didn’t know they were taking. We have photos of every guest, every moment, every detail. I could not be happier.

Octavia & John

"She was a joy to work with and would recommend her to anyone."

Aly is amazing. She blended right in with the craziness that was our wedding party and captured our special moments beautifully. As an LGBTQIA+ community member, it was refreshing to see that Aly has queer people readily visible in her portfolio and we felt very comfortable with her.
