Des Moines-Based Wedding Photographer

Alyssa was amazing to work with for both our engagement photo shoot and our wedding day. She has an amazing eye for shots, great attention to detail, and was always pleasant and professional.

Her work is sublime and we’re extremely grateful to have had such a wonderful artistic touch to all of our photos.

Alyssa was everything we could’ve hoped for and more! She made us feel at ease with her great vibes, which helped us relax and get the best photos of both me and my husband that I’ve ever seen.

Most of all, she provides a warm, welcoming, safe and inclusive space for her clients to be themselves. If you’re considering booking Alyssa, DO IT. I would book her a thousand times over without hesitation.

It was so special to work with someone as kind and talented as Alyssa. She brought a beautiful, genuine, unique quality to all of the engagement and wedding day pictures she took of us and our guests.

We couldn't be happier that we chose Alyssa to document our special day. Thanks so much Alyssa for pictures we will cherish for a lifetime!

Alyssa was a joy to work with for our wedding. She is an extremely talented photographer who makes her subjects feel at home in front of the camera.

Her keen eye for composition and lighting is matched by a creative curiosity that you can't help but share in. She cared for our vision as much as we did and exceeded all our expectations!

I cannot recommend Alyssa enough! She made us feel so comfortable, casual, beautiful and joyful on our special day. She has an incredible documentarian eye that I'm so grateful for as it helps us relive that day down to the details.

Her energy, professionalism, and talent is such a cherry on top of any event! My partner and I are also huge fans of film photography so that was a beautiful bonus that Alyssa was able to take film in addition to digital <3

Alyssa is one of the most talented photographers in DSM and such a sweet person! At all stages of the process Alyssa was there to answer questions, provide recommendations, and help sure our special day was perfect.

Alyssa did an amazing job capturing our special day (and dealing with our two pups) and we are so very thankful we found her! Book her now—you definitely won’t regret it!

Working with Alyssa for my wedding was a delight! She is so creative, talented, professional and fun. She put me and the whole wedding party at ease in front of the camera, suggesting natural poses and getting fantastic candid shots.

She's the best around. If you want incredible photos, go with Alyssa Leicht!

She captured so many of the little moments that flew past me in the excitement of the day that I know it's cliche to say, but these pictures really do reflect the most amazing moments of my life and the investment to have a pro like her make it so we can treasure the memories forever is 100% worth every penny!

Alyssa was so great on our special day! She was flexible and was able to travel to KC to catch our small elopement. I had followed her for years because I loved her photography style while capturing musicians. She brought that same flare to our elopement photos!

It was raining allll day and she came prepared with clear umbrellas that turned out so good in the photos. Alyssa also snagged some film photos that turned out amazing!!

Alyssa made ART out of our wedding photos. She ran with our ideas and exceeded what we had planned in our minds. She makes you and your partner feel so comfortable in front of the camera.

I can go on forever about how great Alyssa is to work with, but please know that if you're on the hunt for a photographer who will provide you with an awesome experience and photos you'll treasure forever, she's your girl. 🖤

My husband and I had our wedding ceremony at the courthouse downtown with just our immediate family. We hired Alyssa to capture the ceremony and some photos before and after to commemorate the day. We loved working with her and her photos are beautiful. Highly recommend!

Alyssa is a phenomenal photographer! So many of the photos on our walls are Alyssa’s work - over the years she has photographed our wedding out of state, newborn photos, family photos, and fun couple’s shoots.

She always makes us feel so comfortable; Alyssa’s directions help us forget the camera is even there.

She has an impressive way of tapping into each individual’s character, highlighting their individuality and illuminating the beautiful (and sometimes complicated) human experience.

She also has a rare ability to make every subject feel at ease and empowered to lean into letting their best selves shine. I would hire or recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!

Alyssa is an AMAZING photographer. We had a very non-traditional wedding and she was so helpful in making our wedding pictures be exactly what we wanted.

Her laid back personality definitely helped us feel comfortable and make everything stress free.

Alyssa, you have completely amazed us with your phenomenal work!!

Jessica and I are beyond in love with your work and are so happy we chose you to document the happiest day of our lives. You were awesome to work with and we really are so grateful for you.

Thanks!!

Alyssa went above and beyond for us. We didn’t have the regular wedding formula to follow and only knew how to describe what we DIDN’T want rather than what we were looking for (dream client right?!)

Alyssa delivered us exactly what we were wanting (better in fact) that we could never explain just right. She made us feel comfortable and relaxed and like an old friend was there celebrating with us. We can not recommend her enough!

Alyssa was super chill and just the person to be around on our special day. Her photos are unique and fun, not to mention stunning and able to capture one's personality.

I fully recommend her as a wedding photographer and human being.

Alyssa flew all the way out to San Diego to shoot our wedding. She did such an amazing job and was so fun to work with.

Not to mention her professionalism. She handled everything she needed to without having to ask me a million questions the day of our wedding. You never realize how important that is till the day of!

A photographer is a MUST for a wedding, why not make it a good one and invest?! Seriously, we loved our photos and we’ll cherish them forever!

Alyssa was an absolute wonder to work with for both our engagement and wedding photos!

My husband and I were equally nervous about our engagement session and Alyssa made it as laid back as possible and she made us look like pros after the first few shots!

We were immediately drawn to Alyssa's work. It's pretty remarkable what she can do through a camera lens, not many people can capture moments in an artistic way.

After meeting with her, we immediately put a deposit down. It was the best thing we ever did! Having received our photos back, we couldn't be more happy with our decision.

[We] wanted someone to shoot our small elopement wedding who understood that we wanted rock n’ roll and bolo toes and sequins over traditional wedding pics. not only are her photos amazing but alyssa is truly so easy to be around and communicate with.

i am honestly floored at how lucky we were to find someone so inclusive, understanding, and whose vision i LOOOOVE so close to home in the midwest. i couldn’t recommend her work enough. 100/10 stars!!!

We were drawn to Alyssa because of her artistic, unique style. We didn't want traditional, posed wedding photos and she delivered with beautiful photos that captured our sweetest moments.

Alyssa was very responsive throughout the whole process. It was easy to communicate with her and her online booking process was a breeze. She is sweet, professional, and extremely talented. If you're lucky enough to snag her, we highly recommend it!

Alyssa did my engagement photos & my wedding photos. My husband and I just adore her artsy self! She is so fun to work with. She's an in the moment type of photographer and she captures THE BEST moments ever.

We were so pleased to have chosen her to capture our big day! She was super, super organized, especially with my large family. She made taking family photos quick, easy, and fun.

Alyssa is an amazing photographer and an even better person! We had an out of the ordinary idea for our engagement photos and she was all in on trying it out.

What I like best about Alyssa is that she captures the small moments without fabricating them - resulting in natural photos that truly reflect the spirit of the day.

Alyssa was wonderful to work with! She made our wedding day run so smoothly and she was very organized. She was so sweet and I felt very comfortable with her taking our photos. She was so great at capturing every small detail and emotion from our wedding.

I love being able to relive our wedding day through these photos. They are better than we ever could have imagined and are something we will cherish forever. <3
