let's get to know each other

My name is Alyssa Gardner

I'm a wedding and engagement photographer central/costal Maine. I have a decade of experience with professional photography, where I have honed in on my style and craft. Learning more about what creates the best image, and what images really tell the story behind a wedding day.

I took a step back from professional photography in preparation for graduate school, for my doctoral degree. Shortly after graduating, I found that my passions still remained in photography; launching Heirloom Editorial in 2026.

Life is all about people, moments & emotions that we want to hold on to..

As an art lover myself; I take photography very seriously from the composition, to the colors, expressions, emotions, details, and so much more. My goals is to capture art work that you have for generations in a timeless light.

Shooting on both film and digital allows me to do just that. Nothing trendy, nothing loud, and nothing that you'll regret in 10 years. Only timeless, natural, bright, light, and real photos you'll want to share with everyone.
