MINNESOTA WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER & VIDEOGRAPHER
Made to bring you back
You don’t have to know what you’re doing. Seriously, that’s what I’m here for! I’ll step in when you need direction and back off when necessary, always keeping the moment light so being in front of the camera never feels forced.
MAKING YOU FEEL COMFORTABLE IS MY JOB. MAKING IT FUN IS MY signature.
Most couples tell me they feel like they’ve known me for years. Probably because I keep them relaxed, make them laugh, and never make them feel weird in front of the camera. By the end of every wedding, I feel like a trusted friend who just happened to be there to document it all.
I love Jesus, jokes, and joyful couples who are clearly each other’s favorite person.
I'm Alyssa
your photographer, videographer, and unofficial hype woman

Alyssa was very intent on finding out just what we wanted and how to portray who we are in her work. She was very energetic and committed to our wants and needs. We also loved how she helped us make Jesus the center of this process and wanted to honor Him through her work. We would highly recommend her not only because of her talent and beautiful work, but because of her passion to her creations and her commitment to the couple!

Thank you to our amazing Photographer, Alyssa Thompson Media for driving all the way from Minnesota to be with us on our special day. This girl was a light of energy and brought such a pure sense of happiness to the day. No matter what was going on, she was right there helping us and capturing everything. She listened to our wants, needs, and frustrations. She worked hard, so so hard, and she absolutely slayed the day. Thank you so so much for being the best photographer we could’ve asked for.

We hired Alyssa for our wedding in August and would recommend her to every couple who comes across her business! The day of she had a friends wedding so was unable to attend herself and communicated with us through the whole process! but has 2 really great videographers take her place and my whole wedding party and us loved them!! However Alyssa still did ALL the editing and to say our videos exceeded our expectations would be an understatement!!
Katie & Logan
My husband and I had the privilege of working with Alyssa as our wedding videographer. Alyssa did an exceptional job at making sure our vision correlated with what we were looking for in capturing our day, with frequent communication, and even a first “meeting” to get to know us and our vision, as far as our wedding video and our expectations. Not only that, Alyssa also went above and beyond to facilitate with more coverage for our wedding (second and third shooters), to ensure we had extra coverage. We couldn’t have found a better videographer for our big day! Thank you Alyssa! Alyssa did our wedding video and we absolutely love it!! She was so fun and easy to work with, and brought a lot of creativity to the process. We are beyond grateful to have this beautiful video to look back on, and would without a doubt recommend going through Alyssa for your wedding video!

The photos were stunning, and the experience with Alyssa was even better!
As a camera-shy girl, finding a wedding photographer that I could relax around was a top priority for my planning. From our first consultation, I knew that Alyssa was my girl for the job. Alyssa helped make our wedding less stressful by working with me in advance to fit the photography seamlessly into our day. By the time the wedding came around, she understood our expectations, hopes, and how the day was going to move, so she was able to catch every important moment. She worked to snag photos of even the little, seemingly unimportant details of the day, which are now some of our favorite photos.
Alyssa's love for the Lord and her love for people shined through in our interactions before, during, and after the wedding, making our wedding experience fuller and more enjoyable. I am so thankful for the precious photos that captured our engagement and wedding day!
