WELCOME

So glad you found my site! I hope you love the photographic sweets I have captured through the years. They are sweet, sincere, sultry, subtle, and oh so special!

I am inspired by joy and would love to work with you! I am most often chosen as a photographer or my innate sense of style and fine art background.

My business is based in the rural hills of Athens. Although, I have traveled throughout the South East to capture weddings of all kinds.

I have been published in several notable spots: Style Me Pretty, The Knot, Oh Lovely Day, to name a few. I have several skilled second shooters that I adore and who I choose to shoot with me at weddings!

Contact me if you'd like to grab a cup of coffee and chat about your event. And, most importantly, congratulations to you and yours!!

Sincerest Regards, Alyssa Alig | 706.352.9335

Lindsey Atwater + Stephen Bailey | Middle Georgia Wedding | Burge Plantation | Alyssa Alig Photography

Stephen and Lindsey met at the University of Georgia. They shared many late night conversations while working at neighboring residence halls. Stephen and Lindsey had been dating for five years when Stephen proposed.

He proposed on a Thursday after Lindsey got off work. He decorated a little shed behind her house with dinner for two, roses, candles and twinkly lights.

They got married at the Burge Plantation in Mansfield, Georgia. If was a beautiful summer wedding. Lindsey wore an A-line gown and was absolutely gorgeous. Her bridesmaids wore blue knee-length dresses that went perfectly with her royal blue and fuchsia color scheme. They had adorable mason jar glasses and southern decorations complete with koozies with one of their friend’s faces on it!

Their wedding was so beautiful. The wedding party played musical instruments as they walked down the isle, which I thought was super creative! I really loved how they added their own flair and made it special for them.

Stephen and Lindsey, your wedding was a blast! Thank you for letting me be a part of your special day!

Brittany Starrett and Marcus McGill: Middle Georgia Wedding

Brittany and Marcus met at Young Harris College. He proposed on her birthday in a beautiful meadow overlooking a lake. She was completely surprised and said yes!

Brittany and Marcus got married on June 9 at Harmony Baptist Church in Monroe, Georgia. The grey and yellow and pink color scheme was perfect for the summer. Brittany looked gorgeous in a strapless, full A-line dress.

Their reception was held at Fair Weather Farms in Monroe, Georgia. They had a natural theme complete with a wooden cake topper.

The woodland and water scenery of Fair Weather Farms was beautiful. There was an open field that was the perfect backdrop for their post-wedding pictures. The old trees were enchanting and complimented the couple perfectly.

Brittany and Marcus, I had so much fun photographing you! I hope you have a many days of happy married life ahead of you!

Jill Hollingsworth and Josh Jenkins: Athens Wedding

Josh and Jill met at the Episcopal Student Center when she was a sophomore and he was a freshman. They became friends and hung out all the time. They started dating a year later, and they’ve been inseparable since!

On the day of their engagement, Josh and Jill spent the whole day at the Georgia Aquarium before heading to dinner at the Ritz. Josh proposed over a glass of champagne with her great-grandmother’s ring and Jill was completely surprised.

Josh and Jill got married at the Thompson House and Gardens in Bogart, Georgia. They chose a beautiful color combination of lapis and pool blue. Jill wore an A-line dress with a sweetheart top along with blue shoes. I love when brides add a splash of color to what they’re wearing. Jill, I must say, was absolutely stunning!

They said their vows under a flower-draped awning. The reception followed and Josh and Jill danced the night away. The bridal party was a blast! They were laughing the whole night.

The reception had shabby-chic décor. I love the contemporary rustic decorations. John and Jill had a lovebird cake topper and burlap accents for their centerpieces.

One of my favorite parts of the wedding was their exit. They walked through a sparkler-lit pathway to their powder blue Triumph Spitfire get-away car. They had such a fun wedding and I loved shooting it. John and Jill, I wish you all the best in the future! Congrats!
