HI! I'M ALISHIA
I’m Alishia, a D.C. and Virginia-based Micro-wedding and Elopement photographer with a heart for storytelling and an eye for the meaningful in-between moments. With a background in film and a love for timeless photos, I capture couples with care, connection, and a touch of old-world charm.
Before photography, I worked in people-first roles from social media to Chick-fil-A and those experiences taught me how to anticipate needs, create calm, and make you feel seen. My goal is always the same: to create space for presence, and preserve it through artful, heartfelt imagery.
Your story deserves photos that feel like home, refined, relaxed, and forever meaningful.
Thoughtful. Refined. Detailed.
