second + Associate shooting

Hi, I’M Alaina

Hi, I’m Alaina - a Wedding, Couples and Family Photographer based out of the Metro-Detroit area. I received my Bachelor of Arts in Film Production during Spring of 2021. Since graduating, I have continued my education by working freelance as an Assistant Camera in the Film/TV and Commercial industry.

My first experience in the Wedding industry was in mid-2021. I was the solo videographer at a Wedding and had an amazing time doing it!

I shifted my focus back to Photography in early-2023 and have been assisting Lead Photographers at Weddings since the 2024 wedding season. Working in Film Production has trained me to always be of the most assistance to the Leads as I possibly can. Need me to run and grab some water for you or find the Mother of the Bride for a photo? I’ve got you!!

Weddings and Elopements are so special to me because it’s impossible to not be happy to witness two people shouting their love for each other for the world to hear.

If you'd like to hire me to second or associate shoot for you, please fill out the form below or email me at alaina@alainamillerphoto.com to connect! I look forward to working with you!
