Hi, I'm Alani Marlene — an artistic style wedding and lifestyle photographer currently based in Florida. I’m a vintage-loving 21-year-old with untameable curly hair and a pretty romantic view of the world.

I’m endlessly inspired by my family and friends, authenticity, and the quiet kind of magic most people rush past. I love soft and folky melodies, handwritten letters, and old family photos that feel like time capsules. I believe in love in its purest form — the kind found in deep conversations that stretch late into the night and in the way children see the world. I often admire dancing shadows and sunlight sparkling on water. I’m always pulled toward poetry, 2000s rom-coms, thrifted treasures, dried flowers, and beach sunsets that feel like home.

I’ve always known I would go into a creative field of some sort. I grew up illustrating and painting from age 5, and I drew or painted with anything and everything I could get my hands on. My work is shaped by a lifelong background in art and a deep love for visual storytelling. I draw inspiration from music, film, and the natural world. The way light moves, moments linger, and stories are told without words. But at the core of my creative process is a belief that creation itself is sacred and intentional, that every story has a purpose.
