Alyssa Haygood founded Havgood Photography with a mission to capture timeless, vibrant stories for coastal brides. The name “Havgood” was a serendipitous beginning, born from a mistyped business license that now perfectly reflects her dedication to creating meaningful and joyful experiences for her clients. Alyssa’s journey into photography began with a love for storytelling and a fascination with the interplay of natural light and fleeting moments. What started as a creative passion has evolved into a full-fledged career celebrating love stories through fine art-inspired photography. 

A native of Ponce Inlet, Florida, Alyssa draws deep inspiration from the local coastline and its landmarks. The Ponce Inlet Lighthouse, prominently featured on her website, holds a special place in her heart—not only as a beloved hometown symbol but also as the subject of the first photograph she ever took. Each time she crosses the bridge home, the lighthouse serves as a comforting beacon, reminding her of where her story began. Incorporating this piece of her personal history into her business allows Alyssa to share the essence of her home and her passion for coastal wedding photography with her clients.
