We had Alicia photograph our proposal at Mohegan Bluffs on Block Island, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. From the planning process through the final gallery delivery, she was professional, responsive, and incredibly easy to work with.
She did an amazing job capturing such an important moment without making anything feel staged or forced. The photos perfectly captured the emotion of the day, and her eye for composition and natural scenery really shows in every image.
One thing that really stood out was how comfortable Alicia made us feel in front of the camera. We had never had professional photos taken before, so we were a little unsure of what to do, but she guided us through everything naturally. Nothing felt awkward or overly posed. She knew exactly how to position us to capture genuine moments and authentic emotions. We also brought our dog along, and Alicia was incredibly patient and accommodating, making sure he was included in the photos while still keeping the session relaxed and enjoyable. The result was a collection of images that felt completely natural and truly reflected us.
When we received the gallery, we were blown away by the quality of the photos. These are memories we’ll cherish for the rest of our lives, and we’re so grateful to have found Alicia to document them.
If you’re looking for a photographer who is talented, reliable, and genuinely cares about her clients, we highly recommend Cordele Photography.

Have the best time wedding planning.

We had such a great experience with Alicia! She was super easy to work with—professional, efficient, and just really good at making everyone (including our two kids) feel comfortable. The entire shoot felt relaxed, and the photos came out absolutely beautiful! Alicia was incredibly organized and her process from start to finish was flawless. Highly recommend!
