Hi, I am Anna!
Let’s cut to the chase: I live for capturing the real, raw, unfiltered moments that make life yours. The belly laughs, the messy kisses, the windblown hair, and the quiet in-between seconds that take your breath away. That’s where the magic happens, and that’s what I’m here for.
As the face behind ALP PHOTO, I’m all about creating images that feel like you. No stiff poses, no awkward vibes—just authentic, candid storytelling that lets your personality shine. Whether it’s the chaos of a wedding day, the sweetness of a newborn yawn, or a senior session, I bring my A-game and a vibe that makes you forget the camera’s even there.
Beyond the lens, I’m a wife, mom, and unapologetic iced coffee addict. Nico and I tied the knot during the peak of the pandemic, and while our wedding didn’t go as planned (and yeah, we weren’t exactly thrilled with our photos), it gave me a deeper understanding of how important it is to truly see and celebrate your story. My kids—Karen, my theater star in the making, and Cosmo, my tiny tornado—remind me every day how fast time flies, and it’s why I’m so passionate about freezing these fleeting moments for my clients.
If you’re looking for more than just pretty pictures—if you want photos that feel like you and memories you’ll actually feel when you look back on them—then we’re going to make magic together.
So, let’s do this. Bring the love, the laughter, and maybe a little chaos, and I’ll take care of the rest.

How do you photograph weddings?
Your wedding day is a tapestry of fleeting moments, emotions, and stories waiting to be told. With a candid, photojournalistic approach, we strive to capture the authentic essence of your day, preserving the raw emotions, genuine interactions, and unscripted moments that make your wedding truly unique. We believe that the true beauty of a wedding lies in its authenticity. That's why we focus on capturing real moments and genuine emotions, rather than posed or staged shots. Whether it's a stolen glance between the newlyweds, a tender embrace with loved ones, or a spontaneous outburst of laughter, we strive to capture the raw and unfiltered moments that make your day truly special.
The images we capture are more than just photographs; they're timeless memories that will transport you back to the emotions and moments of your wedding day for years to come.
Where are you based and do you travel?
I have a cute little studio in Ontario, NY but I love to travel and available for destination weddings and special events worldwide. Whether you're saying "I do" on a tropical beach, in a European castle, or in the heart of a bustling city, we'll be there to capture the magic of your day with creativity, professionalism, and enthusiasm. At our studio, we believe that every moment is worth preserving, whether it's the quiet intimacy of a newborn's first days, the excitement and anticipation of an engagement, or promoting your small business. With a keen eye for detail and a commitment to excellence, we strive to create timeless images that tell the story of your life's most precious moments.
Who's your 2nd shooter?
