My name is Alyse, I am a 30-something year old creative spirit living in historic Salem, MA. I created this website as a sister site to ThingstodoinSalem.com because I receive questions about getting married in Salem all of the time. I, myself, am a professional photographer and officiant with almost 200 weddings of experience. I have been brought in to talk to college students about the industry and my work has been published on platforms such as Wedding Wire, The Knot, Offbeat Wed (formerly Offbeat Bride) and Martha Stewart Weddings.
