Hi! The name is Ali.
But you can call me your new wingwoman.
Whether you need unique angles, someone to fix a wedding dress train or help wrangle the family during formal portraits, I’m your gal!
I vow to…
Always take direction
Avoid crossing our cameras
Find alternative angles rather than shooting over your shoulder
Present professionalism: arriving early, dressing appropriately and coming with clean and charged gear
Grab BTS shots
Help you with carrying gear
Remove beer cans, hair ties on wrists and any distracting elements in frame
Sync my camera’s time with yours
Represent myself in a way that compliments your brand
About Ali
A little about me.
I’m a wedding photographer based in Boulder, CO. Though I entered the wedding industry in 2022, I’ve worked as a professional photographer in the newspaper biz for three years.
I studied photojournalism and fine art photography/ film photography at MSU Denver, graduating in 2019.
Leveraging my background, I look for all the candid moments with creative compositions.
I fell head over heels with wedding photography, and am excited to grow in the industry.

My approach to second shooting
What to expect
I’ve played the role of second shooter and lead photographer between the 15+ weddings I’ve worked. Seeing both sides gives me a perspective on what makes a good — and a not so great — support photographer.
When I work a wedding as a second, my goal is to compliment your photography and your couple’s experience. For me, adding to my portfolio is a plus, not the priority.
I feel comfortable taking charge when needed (e.g. need me to call out family names, go to cocktail hour solo). But I will follow your lead and never overstep.
I aim to capture a good exposure in camera, and shoot in a way that compliments your style and makes post-production a breeze.
I’ll be your right hand man who’s down for anything!
