Frequently Asked Questions
How do I book a session?
First, you’ll fill out my contact form. From there, I’ll send over all the details by email — including package options and service info. Once you’ve selected what works best for you, I’ll ask a few questions to get to know you better and understand your vision.
When everything’s set, I’ll send over your invoice. To secure your date, a non-refundable security deposit is required. This officially reserves your spot on my calendar — meaning I’ll turn down other bookings and commit fully to you. The remaining balance is due on or before your session date (or 30 days prior to your wedding day).
Wondering about the non-refundable part? That deposit ensures your date and time are locked in exclusively for you — no double-booking, no distractions.
For weddings and elopements, be sure to fill out the Elopement/Wedding Contact Form to receive my full guide with all the dreamy details!
How many images should I expect and how will they be delivered?
The number of images you’ll receive depends on the length of your session and the package you choose. For a full breakdown of pricing and package details, feel free to fill out the contact form or reach out directly at alyssacovillphoto@gmail.com.
All your images will be professionally edited, polished, and print-worthy. Once they’re ready, I’ll send you a private online gallery where you can download, print, and share your photos with friends and family.
For elopement and wedding packages, you’ll also receive a beautifully packaged USB drive that holds your full gallery — a timeless keepsake of your day.
Will the final images have watermarks?
Your final images will be watermark-free!
The print and media release will be stated in the contract.
What should we wear for photos?
First Things First: Wear What Feels Like You!
Choose something you’re comfortable in and that truly reflects your personality. Here’s a quick tip — neutral colors usually photograph beautifully and keep the focus on you!
Reach out anytime while planning your outfits! I offer a FREE outfit guide to help you feel confident and camera-ready. Before our session, I’ll also send a pre-session questionnaire to help us visualize your shoot.
I’d love to hear about the theme or vibe you’re imagining for your photos. I create a custom Pinterest mood board tailored just for your session, so sharing your outfit ideas ahead of time is always encouraged!

Do you give raw / unedited images?
Like many talented photographers, I do not provide RAW or unedited images. Editing is an essential part of the creative process — it’s what brings out the magic and defines a photographer’s unique style. RAW files straight from the camera are unfinished products and often very large in size, making them impractical to share.
That’s why it’s so important to trust both my shooting and editing style. Editing is where half the magic happens, and it’s what sets my work apart. I’m committed to delivering images that fully represent my artistic vision and showcase you at your best.
What if we're awkward and don't know how to pose?
Expect me to move like a gentle ballerina, guiding you into moments that feel natural and effortless — never forced. There’s no formula or magic trick here, just pure, soul-nurturing, heartwarming love.
My goal is to build your trust so you feel comfortable, relaxed, and free to have fun. We capture real, raw moments that tell your unique story. I’ll also pose and prompt you with creative ideas throughout the session, so there’s no need to worry!
I love to communicate openly and embrace the flow of the moment. For couples, whether you want to kiss, spin, or snuggle close, I’m here to support all the beautiful ways you express your love.
Every session is thoughtfully curated to match your vision and personality.
When and how will we get our photos?
You can expect to receive your fully edited images within 3 to 4 weeks, with a handful of sneak peeks delivered in just 2 to 3 days. Your photos will be accessible through a beautiful online gallery where you can view, share, and download them with ease.
For elopements and weddings, sneak peeks will be shared within 24 to 48 hours after your special day. The full gallery will be ready for you to enjoy in approximately 6 to 10 weeks at the latest.
