HI, I’M ALY

A LITTLE OF MY STORY

It all started when a girl met a camera and attended her first wedding as an adult.

I always had a passion and love for weddings and it wasn't until I left the corporate world of sales that I decided to put my love for photographer and passion for weddings together to create my dream career.

My Whole Story →

A college friend took a risk on me and trusted me to shoot her wedding day.
Had I shot a wedding before? Absolutely not.
Did I fall in love with it? Absolutely.

I joined the wedding industry in 2017 seeking to create a unique wedding experience that was tailored to each couple and their individuality.

I strive to ensure that every couple I work with has photos that they will brag about to their great grandchildren.

behind the lens

Aly Matei

I am a proud wife & mother.

I met my husband, Alex, NYE 2016 at a bar in Chicago. I saw a tall ginger man walk into the bar and I immediately knew that I needed to make him mine. That NYE kiss turned into my forever NYE kiss.

After a few years of dating, Alex proposed July 2019. We didn't waste anytime and knew that we wanted to be married already - so we planned a wedding in 7 months. In February 2020, we were married in Wimberley.

In April 2021, we welcomed our first baby girl, Evelyn and we quickly knew that she needed a sibling. The next year in August 2022, we welcomed another baby girl, Mabel.

My family is my whole world and they truly empower me to push myself as a mother and business owner.

fueling my passion

Unique galleries tailored to each couple indivudally.

I am very passionate about ensuring that your photography experience is nothing shy of immaculate from booking to gallery delivery. I want to get to know you and your fiance to make sure that yall feel comfortable being in front of the camera to capture yall's genuine emotion and love during our sessions.

What I'm

loving

Your photos should stand the test of time to be able to share your story with generations to come. By infusing timeless portraits and current photography trends, your wedding gallery should stand out from the others and last for years.

What I'm

learning

Wedding days can be a lot of pressure for couples and my job is to ensure you feel comfortable in front of my camera to be able to not only enjoy, but also experience your wedding day.

What I'm

not about

Poor communication is the number 1 reason for disappointed couples. From booking to gallery delivery, I want you to feel confident that you can reach me when needed and share all expectations.

what I

believe

Your wedding day was meant to be experienced. Being stuck in front of the camera the entire day posing is not the goal. I want document all of the hugs and love your guests want to share with you.
