Meet the Photographer

Hey, my name is Alyssa Badami

I am a St. Louis-based wedding and portrait photographer. My style is a mix of polished, editorial portraits and honest, documentary moments. I edit true to color so your photos look exactly how the day actually felt. I know being in front of a camera can feel awkward, so my biggest goal is to make the process effortless and fun. I want you to walk away with gorgeous photos that show your real story.

My approach

 

My approach to photographing your day is all about balance. I blend the polished look of an editorial style with a hands-off, documentary focus to capture honest and authentic moments. I edit with a true-to-color aesthetic so you can look back on exactly how everything looked and felt. You never have to worry about stiff or forced posing. I guide you through the entire process so it feels completely natural and effortless, allowing your real connection to take center stage.
