THE ALICE AHN

EXPERIENCE

You get to feel like you.
You get to feel your life.
You get to feel the happiness.

YOUR HAPPINESS IS THE HEART OF MY WORK

You're already living your dream, and now it's time to celebrate it.

Every moment of your day gets to be a celebration. Every image I make is a celebration. Every touch, every laugh, every quiet instant where your happy bubbles up is meant for celebration.

I am always looking for the celebrations, capturing your happy-ness, retelling your deepest joys and dearest love with a tangible, Vogue-level, gallery-worthy style.

Here's how it all works

Get personal attention to your photography needs and your celebration from our first meeting through your final delivery.

A tailored pricing proposal that will account for the number of hours and photographers you want to the amount you want to spend.

Make space for the way you want to feel on the day we shoot. I am not here to do what everybody else does; I am here to make sure that your happiness goes all the way through your wedding experience. 

01

You want to SEE yourself happy. Your photos aren’t just a record of something that is happening; they’re a window into feelings you won’t be able to see on your own face, and a celebration of just how far you’ve traveled to feel this happy. 

02

You want real life, editorial photos that will hang like art pieces in your home. You’re not looking for an 80’s photo wall or an album of snapshots. You want to fill your home with meaningful art, and you want to feel like you yourself get to be part of that art.

03

You want real connection with the person behind the camera. You’re not just hiring a photographer. You’re hoping to invite a friend to your wedding, someone who gets what you’re going for, and who feels what you feel, so your happiest memories won’t all be posed—they’ll be the realest thing you’ve ever experienced.

04

You want to be inspired throughout your entire photography process. You are looking for something that you haven’t seen before, because your happiness feels like something you haven’t seen before. Maybe you haven’t seen what you want yet, but you’re ready to build your vision around fresh inspiration that just feels like you.

05

You are celebrating the beginning of your legacy. These moments you’re living, this celebration you’re having — it’s not an end. It’s a beginning to a whole new life, a brand new experience, a new reality that you get to share with your people who came before you and with your children who come after.

And This is why I want to work with you

Even when I was a young girl, I knew what happiness looked like. I knew how it felt. I knew how it made me feel safe and cared for. And I learned that chasing (and capturing) happiness is not only exhilarating, it is forever, and it is worth holding onto.

YES! I travel all the time, from San Francisco to Europe to Hawaii to Korea to New York -- or anywhere else in the world you might want my camera.

I shoot on both film and digital cameras, editing all of my work with a classic film aesthetic that puts your celebration in the best light. 

I shoot with a Contax 645 paired with a classic Zeiss 80 mm lens, a Canon R6 with prime lenses like 35mm, 50mm, and 85mm, and I also bring my toy 35 mm point-and-shoot film cameras to capture your unposed in-between moments throughout our time together.

Just use the contact form here on my website to send me a message. We'll meet, we'll fall in love, we'll create a custom collection and contract together, and then we'll get you married--WITH PICTURES.

Once we create your collection, you'll sign an agreement through AdobeSign, and send your 50% retainer via Maroo (ACH, Debit Card, & Credit Card - Credit Card has 2.9% fee), Venmo, or Zelle. Once the agreement and retainer are complete, the date is yours.

Um, YEAH. I crush on anything pretty (YOU!!!), and have spent a lot of time studying and practicing flattering, connected compositions. I am naturally drawn to pleasing shapes and beautiful angles for my photos, and my clients are often pleasantly surprised to see themselves look more amazing than ever in the images we make together.

NO. In fact, most of your photos will be unposed. I spend a lot of time behind my camera, but I always feel you and your people. I know when to press the shutter on the moments in between the moments—when your happiness bubbles over and you think you might burst with it—and how to find the memories your family wants to hold too.

YES. We'll celebrate your vision with done-for-you photography planning guides, style + fashion recommendations, custom inspiration boards, and a personalized timeline and shot list to reflect the outcome YOU want. I am not a planner, but I bring almost 10 years of creative direction experience to every shoot, providing you with unique and interesting styling tips, fashion and editorial expertise, and solid information about how we’ll bring your photography vision to life.

I place a high priority on professionalism and personalization. I show up on time and organized, and provide plenty of 1:1 access so you get to feel involved and organized too. You don’t need to worry about your pictures when you work with me. I keep things connected through every step of our process. 

I know you’re not just a client; you are a collector, surrounding yourself with your best memories. Your photos aren’t just something to prove your celebration happened—they’re the piece of your celebration that you get to hold generations after our time together. Think of me as an interior decorator/curator who will help you choose exactly which moments will fit where—on your walls, beside your desk, and in your album.

"Alice is one of a kind."

"Working with Alice was effortless."

She has an eye for the exceptionally chic but also for the human authenticity and romance. She’s most at home in the delicacy of feminine beauty and subtle details of intimate moments. Her ability to move between softness and sharpness is what makes her so unique. 

She put me at ease and we laughed through our whole session.

When you work with Alice, you can expect...

A sense of total ease, and peace of mind.
You don’t have to CEO your own photography experience—I have 10 years of production experience and creative direction to translate your vision to reality.

Freedom to feel like yourself.
You get to pose when you’re happy to pose (and we’ll get those traditional shots everybody knows they want!), and I’ll spend your day documenting your unposed happiness, candid moments, and unpredictable bliss. You’ll never feel more like you in front of a camera.

A fashion-oriented documentary approach to your photos.
You get to look sensational, not photographed in your pictures. We’ll make your moments into a work of modern art, with all the energy, imagination, and style you want. 

A brand new photography friend.
“Oh, my god, we’re gonna be best friends!” — is a line I often hear from my clients (even at our first meeting), and I love how a real friendship always grows. It can’t help it, when we’re living some of the happiest moments of your life together. 

Alice’s point of view is sophisticated, natural, timeless, moody, and truly artistic!  She captures the essence of her client...
