How Alisha Khan Turns Real Moments into Timeless Photos

The Best of White Rock: Capturing Life, Love, and Laughter with Alisha Khan

Some people are born to do what they do. Others fight it for years before finally realizing they were meant for it all along. That’s Alisha Khan’s story in a nutshell. She swore she’d never do wedding photography—too much pressure, no retakes, one shot to nail those once-in-a-lifetime moments.

But then she shot her first wedding. And just like that, she was hooked.

“There's no retake,” she told me, laughing. “You get one shot at the first kiss, the first reaction… miss it, and that’s it. I thought it was too difficult. But I did my first wedding and fell in love. Now, that’s all I do.”

Today, Alisha Khan Photography is known for capturing not just beautiful images, but the connection, laughter, and raw emotion behind them. She’s not a “smile and click” kind of photographer. She’s more the “let’s run around, get our feet dirty, and have fun” type. And it shows in her work.

It’s not just weddings either—although those are her specialty. She’s worked with couples, shot engagements, done branding and marketing shoots, and even captured behind-the-scenes moments for small businesses. Her style blends natural, candid moments with just the right amount of polish, so your photos feel real but still look like they belong in a magazine.

One of the things I loved about our conversation was how much she cares about making people feel comfortable. As she put it, “If you can’t connect with someone on a level where they can naturally laugh or have a moment, it doesn’t matter how beautiful the photo is—it’s the story behind it that matters.”

And she’s got this magnetic, bubbly personality that instantly makes you want to be around her. You can imagine how valuable that is when you’re working with couples on one of the most important days of their lives.

She’s also wonderfully candid about the unique challenges that come with wedding days—like organizing family portraits. “It’s like herding cats,” she laughed. “People are dispersed, and you’re waiting on Uncle Bob who went to get a drink…” But her easygoing energy and knack for keeping things light mean the end result is anything but chaotic. In her portfolio, those moments are transformed into vibrant, joy-filled images that capture genuine connections and little snapshots of love you might have otherwise missed.

If you’re looking for a photographer who’s as invested in the experience as she is in the final images, Alisha’s your person. She’ll get the shots you want—and the ones you didn’t know you needed.
