This hype-girl wedding photographer reveals why personality beats technical skill when it comes to shooting the big day

A beautiful bright poses with her flowers lying down.

Alisa Roberts is a self-confessed hyper girl with a camera. As a wedding photographer, she keeps it real, mucks in with the bride squad, and gets the party going. She can make even the shyest of guests and couples comfortable enough to pose naturally. Alisa is adaptable and, as an accomplished family and newborn photographer, she also leans into her sensitive side to create a sense of calm in her clients’ homes.

This might come across as a paradoxical mix on paper, but it all comes down to Alisa’s ability to read a room, understand people, and create the right environment to put her subjects at ease. I recently witnessed Alisa’s approach in action at a wedding, and it was full of energy, excitement, and fun. Within 10 minutes we were in an intense conversation about our Canon kit – which Alisa has relied on for over a decade – and before the night was out, we’d shared more than one boogie on the dance floor.
