Creating photographs that feel stolen from a film.

Cinematic Couples & Wedding Photographer

your love story, but make it cinematic

weird is welcome here

for the couples who would've thrived in a 90s rom-com

I'm endlessly inspired by 80s, 90s, and early 2000s movies, old Tumblr culture, flash photography, music, and the little things that make people feel something —

Hey! I'm Alyssa

A smell, a sound, a memory, a place. All of that nostalgia finds its way into my work, creating photographs that feel less like a photoshoot and more like a scene from a movie.

10 Things I Hate About You — because nobody does romance, rebellion, and nostalgia quite like the late 90s.

Take Me to the Moon — the kind of song that makes ordinary moments feel cinematic.

Historic towns with peeling paint, old brick sidewalks, and stories hiding around every corner.

Early 2000s flash photography — imperfect, unfiltered, and effortlessly cool.

The feeling of finding an old photograph and instantly being transported back in time.

This experience was everything I could dream of and more! I had so many questions and she was so helpful through it all. Truly the most amazing soul! If you’re looking for someone to capture your life in one frame, book with Alyssa!!!

Alyssa was such a joy & blessing to us on our wedding day💛 She went above & beyond our expectations! She captured the heart behind every moment of our day in such a creative, thoughtful, & personal way. I had 0 anxiety or worries about how our photos would turn out because she was SO thorough in the preparation process, & SO sweet & accommodating to any of our questions or ideas for our big day. Zupko Photography gave us more than pretty photos to hang on our wall. She gave us perfectly captured memories- preserved emotions that we can relive over & over again💛
