We seriously could not recommend Alison and Geoff enough! They were quick and easy with communication, answered all of our questions, and of course the quality and talent they have behind the camera is unmatched! We are elated with how are photos turned out. The turn around was amazing. We received many sneak peaks just a day or two later! Would highly recommend Alison for your wedding!
We couldn't have been happier to have Alison and Geoff as our wedding photographers! They made my fiance and I feel completely at ease throughout the day and did a fantastic job capturing everything. We will cherish our photos forever and can't recommend them highly enough.
Alison and Geoff are the best of the best! My husband and I are not the most comfortable in front of the camera, and Alison's style of shooting made us so at ease. We look effortless and Alison was able to catch these incredible candid moments that really captured the highlights of our day. I can not say enough great things about working with Alison!
Hiring amazing vendors like Alison is the reason that we had such a calm and fun day! Thank you Alison, for being there for us, and capturing all of the amazing moments of our day! <3
Alison (and Geoff) is extremely talented and professional. I initially started following her on Instagram and picked her because I loved her photographs. As we got closer to our date, other vendors started asking who else was on our team and every time Alison’s name was mentioned raving reviews followed. Either they had heard of her and were impressed with her work or personally worked with her and noted how sweet she was. They were right on all accounts; she was calm and sweet and eased a lot of the awkwardness that comes with being photographed. We have received a preview of our photos and are already so impressed and cannot wait for the rest!
Alison and Geoff were incredible to work with and made everyone feel so comfortable. They are not invasive and seem to float through the room snapping photos. Alison would talk my husband and I through the photo shoot catching us in our natural poses and capturing the emotion of the day. They helped us choose where to do photos and have so much experience that they handled our families and our two year old flower girl with such ease. We're so excited to see our photos!!!
There are wedding photographers, and then there is Alison. Not only is she truly talented, with an unmatched vision and a keen eye for beauty, she is an incredible person along with her husband Geoff. As someone who has never felt comfortable in front of the camera, Alison helped me relax and stay in the moment with my husband. She helped us loosen up, laugh, make jokes, and just be ourselves. And not just us, Alison and Geoff were able to capture our friends and family on the most special and unforgettable day. Everyone warns you that your wedding day will go by in the blink of an eye and they are right. We tried our best to take everything in and mentally freeze those moments in time, but for those moments that took my breath away, those special interactions where we were being called somewhere else, or the reactions that we simply could not see, I know I will still have those memories thanks to Alison. Not only are we so fortunate that Alison and Geoff could capture the memories made on the most special day of our lives, but we were also so happy to have them there to celebrate with us. Thank you Alison and Geoff for your incredible talent, kindness, and infectious spirit. We hope to share more memories with you in the future.
Love,
Sam and Joe
As soon as I saw Alison and Geoff's pictures, I knew we had to book them for our wedding on 2/11. They capture such human moments, you can feel the emotions in the pictures. Alison is so kind and patient, especially with our bridal party which was big and loud LOL. Alison and Geoff really captured such special moments with the people who mean the most to us, I could not be happier. When we looked at all of the pictures today, it was like we were reliving our wedding day. So many emotions! We are so grateful for Alison and Geoff for their amazing work.
Alison's photographs captured the hidden moments of our weddings, and more traditional formal photos. She also found locations for photos around our venue that were unique and special.
Alison is INCREDIBLE!!!! She's ridiculously talented, professional, and her photographs are so beautiful, we're getting to relive the most amazing day of my life over and over again with the same magic because of her expertise. She made us very comfortable to get the best shots and knew exactly what to do and when to capture the big moments. Best wedding photographer ever!!
AMAZING. All I have to say is follow her on social media and you will immediately see her talent. She made the day so easy for us and I had all the confidence in her that she would capture everything I ever wanted and more. She has such an amazing vision and I wouldnt reommend anyone else!
As soon as you get engaged and pick a wedding date book Alison Conklin Photography. If you want phenomenal wedding photos then you need to hire an exceptionally talented photographer. This was the part of my wedding that was most important to me. Your wedding pictures last a lifetime and can never be redone. I followed Alison’s work online before getting engaged and always had her name in the back of my mind for when the time came. I had seen work from other photographers in the area, but nothing came close to Alison’s. As soon as my wedding planner mentioned her name for my wedding I immediately jumped on it. Like people have said in other reviews go to her Instagram, Facebook page, Website and look at the the photos, that says it all. Not only does she capture beautiful moments in time, but the feelings as well. You feel something when you look at her photos. My husband, myself, and our families tear up looking at our photos. I have shown people who barely know my husband and I some of our photos and they too get emotional looking through them. They are just magical, there is no other way to describe it. The moments Alison and Geoff capture are truly special. They are also just wonderful people in general. We so enjoyed having them be a part of our wedding and hope to have them capture the special moments I our lives in the future.
I cant give Alison and Geoff enough stars. We LOVE THEM! Our photos are amazing and anyone getting married would be stupid to not work with them. I cant wait until our next family event we need photos at to have Alison with us. They are so easy to be around and relaxing to talk with you don't even know they are with you. The photos Alison and Geoff capture are a true form of art they are wonderful. They gave us memories of a lifetime that we look at everyday. Thank you guys!
This is a (belated!) review for our May 2018 wedding at St. Augustine & the Fairmount Park Horticulture Center. Alison was one of the first vendors I wanted to book (along with our venue and florist) and I'm so happy she was available for our day! The photos were definitely an investment but well worth it. She (and her husband Geoff) were super responsive, professional, quick with editing, and of course took beautiful timeless photos!
I'm not super comfortable posing for pictures but Alison managed to capture tons of photos that I love plus lots of wonderful pictures of details and our guests enjoying themselves. She has a very calming presence, which I definitely appreciated during the busy big day! My mom and other guests also commented on how great our photographer was - both on the wedding day and then again after seeing the photos.
If I'm being totally honest, I found Alison Conklin before I even met my now husband. I came across her GORGEOUS photos of my childhood friend's wedding on Instagram years ago and I've been a huge fan ever since. Just check out her blog, and you will fall in love with the natural way she captures such special moments of a wedding. As soon as we got engaged and picked a date, Alison was the first vendor we reached out to and thankfully she had our date available. Being a long time admirer of her work, my expectations were high, but I can say that Alison (and her husband Geoff) exceeded those expectations. There were so many highlights of our experience... From the extra time we were given during our engagement shoot to capture the sunset to the speedy receipt of our wedding photos, Alison and Geoff are incredible professionals. We now have a great problem on our hands since it is almost impossible to determine which photos are our favorites. I will always be thankful for how Alison captured the special "little" moments of our day like my dad in tears when he saw me in my dress or my father-in-law taking a quick nap at the reception. It is also worth noting that Alison and Geoff are just sweet and genuine people. They have this magical way of blending into the background during the wedding so you can live in the moment and forget that you are even being photographed. We are not fans of overly posed pictures and they captured exactly what we wanted without even having a conversation about them. When you hire Alison, you just let her do her thing because there is no doubt it will be incredible!
Alison and Geoff were an absolute dream to work with. After having Alison shoot our engagement photos, she immediately put our minds at ease for the big day. They are both down-to-earth, easy going, and super chill on a day when it can be pretty hard to 'go with the flow'. Alison also managed to build us the most glamorous book of photos while also capturing our playful and silly nature. Hands down, the best decision we made.
Alison is such a wonderful and talented photographer! Ian and I had an incredible time during our engagement photo shoot and the photos are absolutely stunning! She was also amazing with Ian's dog and captured photos that truly reflect us as a couple. We are beyond happy with Alison and can't wait to see what moments she'll capture on our wedding day!
Alison and Geoff are the absolute best! It seems impossible for photos to capture all the excitement and emotion of the best day of your life -- but somehow they were able to capture that and more. We scheduled an engagement shoot with Alison and we were immediately comfortable with her. She and Geoff were always quick to respond and answered our many, many questions throughout the wedding planning process. On the big day, they arrived early and were true professionals. They managed to capture all the posed photos that we had requested (a long list!) but also caught the raw emotion with some spontaneous and breathtaking photos of us with our friends and family--and some especially touching moments with my grandparents. Aside from being incredibly talented, Geoff and Alison were an absolute pleasure to have around us all day. They were a calming influence, got along seamlessly with the venue staff and videographer, and are truly just two of the nicest people you will ever meet.
Alison and Geoff are THE BEST photographers around. Not only do we have the most amazing engagement photos and wedding photos but they are great to work with and very nice people. I recommend looking through their blog on their website and you will see their amazing pictures and talent on display. They captured the pure joy we experienced during our entire wedding day. The hardest part of working with them was narrowing down only 80 pictures for our album! HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
I am a professional photographer myself so the wedding photographs were a very high priority for me and my wife. I put a lot of research into wedding photographers near and far. Alison Conklin was my first choice because of her beautiful style and we are so happy that she was able to capture our day. Her photographs are stunning and exactly what we were looking for. Alison and her husband Geoff were easy and fun to work with. We definitely made the right decision in booking her.
Alison is simply the BEST! She photographed my sister's wedding 8 years ago and I was immediately obsessed with her work. I've looked at her blog consistently ever since and am always blown away by everything she does. Therefore, when I got engaged Alison was the first person I thought of and our wedding date revolved around what weekends she was available :) I didn't even know it was possible but she managed to exceed all of the high expectations I already had. We've been reliving our wedding day over and over every time we look at the pictures and are so grateful to Alison and Geoff for the moments and emotions they were able to capture for us. I can't say enough wonderful things about them and would recommend them to anyone in need of a photographer.
Alison is incredible! I cannot say enough good things about her and Geoff. They are great to work with- respond quickly, accommodating and very knowledgeable. On the day of the wedding, they were a calming, friendly presence and knew every great shot to take. Pictures are gorgeous and friends and family can’t stop talking about them- we love them too!! Go with Alison, you won’t regret it!
Alison and Geoff are an great team and they did such an amazing job on our wedding and engagement pictures! My husband and I are not photogenic people (in fact, I shy away from a camera as much as possible), and I was actually super nervous about getting my picture taken both for the engagement shoot and wedding. Right away, Alison put me at ease with her kindness and laid-back attitude. She got us to come out of our shells and actually have a little fun on the engagement shoot. On they day of the wedding, most of the time I didn't even Geoff and Alison were there, but when I did they were such a joy and kept me calm. The pictures were edited and sent to me quickly (within 2 weeks of the wedding!), and came out AMAZING. I love how they really captured the feelings of the day, not just some cheesy posed shots. The hardest part is deciding which amazing photos put put in frames around the house! All in all, I highly recommend Alison Conklin photography--you won't regret it!
We chose Alison Conklin Photography for our wedding after looking through many of the albums on her site and loving the "realness" of all of her shots, as well as all the many seemingly candid shots she featured. Compared to so many other photographers out there whose photos looked too staged, dramatic, whimsical, and otherwise unnatural for our taste, we were drawn to how Alison seemed to capture the beauty in the real moments, without having to manipulate much (if anything). We also aren't really people who take photos often, especially not professional photos, so we wanted to be able to recognize ourselves in our photos rather than having them be over-stylized. We got exactly what we were hoping for and MUCH more out of our photos by Alison and Geoff. Without intruding at all, or even seeming like they were there, she and Geoff beautifully captured our day from us getting ready with our bridal parties (including some gorgeous portrait-styles photos of our bridal parties), our ceremony (including great shots of our guests arriving and our dogs coming down the aisle), our formals, and our reception. As odd as it sounds to say, my favorites she took are the candids of our guests and our families! We obviously love all of the formal ones as well, but their candid shots of us throughout the day and our guests enjoying themselves truly make it feel like we're reliving our wedding day when we look back and see all the emotion they captured. This photography team is 100% professional from the initial contact, the communication throughout, punctuality in delivering the photos, and in "blending in" on the actual wedding day to not intrude upon all the day's events. We were blessed with a gorgeous wedding day to begin with, and we feel very fortunate to have hired Alison's team to capture it, as well. HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend to anyone in the market for a wedding photographer, or for photography for any special life event! We can't thank you enough, Alison and Geoff!
Alison and Geoff are amazing photographers. They do amazing work and catch the most candid moments. We had been on the fence about a videographer, and decided we did not want one because Alison and Geoff catch every moment. It was great to establish a relationship with them as they did our engagement photos. I knew I had nothing to worry about when the wedding rolled around as the engagement photos were absolutely amazing. They are so friendly, nice, and low key that it keeps the photo shoot super relaxed making for great un-posed, candid pictures. Highly recommend them to anyone!
Alison Conklin Photography came into our lives in January 2010 for our daughter's wedding and she has become our go to photographer for all of our important family events. Alison photographed my mother's 85th birthday party as well as my granddaughter's first birthday party.
Alison and Geoff just photographed our most recent event, the marriage of our son this October (2017).
The photography is amazing, every picture telling the story of all of the wonderful moments that go into life events.
I really can't say enough about Alison Conklin Photography. After I got engaged in the summer of 2016, Alison was one of the first vendors we reached out to. My two sisters also used Alison for their weddings and her photos were so beautiful, that we never for a moment considered using another photographer. Her photos are truly a gift. From the moment that we initially reached out to ACP, they made everything so easy: establishing availability, selecting a package, engagement photos, coordinating for the wedding day, etc.
What I love most about Alison and Geoff is their low-key nature. With all of the activity that goes on during the wedding day, Alison and Geoff manage to fly under the radar while still capturing moments you weren't even aware of as you were living them. There are no obnoxious photographers following the bridal party up the aisle or in the bride and grooms face as they process out as a married couple for the first time. They easily conduct and lead all of the bridal party and family photos and capture every sweet candid moment you can imagine, while being low key, relaxed and FUN.
I swear, Alison's photos just get better and better. Since we got our photos from our wedding back, I have just kept them open as a tab on my browser every day....this is going on 2+ months now. Every day, I find a new photo that I hadn't seen before, capturing all of the love and emotion of our wedding day.
The photos are one of the most important parts of your wedding day because when it's all over, the photos are what you will have left to cherish. You absolutely cannot go wrong with Alison and Geoff. They are so incredibly talented and just a pleasure to work with.
Alison is amazing!!! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos everything was exceptional. Alison sets the tone...she is fun, calm and easy going. Alison and her husband Geoff make a great team, and we were so grateful to have them as part of our wedding day. Alison captures real time moments in such a beautiful way, and we will cherish our photos forever! From start to finish working with Alison was a wonderful experience, she does not disappoint. Alison Conklin ROCKS!!
I feel so lucky that Alison and Geoff were our photographers for our most special day! I had seen Alison's pictures through a friend and had her in mind the second we got engaged. I'm so glad I acted so quickly to have them. Our wedding was captured so beautifully. Alison was so helpful and flexible in getting pictures when the weather was *gasp* not so great. She got all of our special moments. My family will not stop talking about the amazing pictures of my grandma that we will be able to look at forever. The happiness of the day comes through in all the pictures. Thank you thank you thank you for giving us these memories!
Alison is amazing. From our engagement photo shoot to our wedding. We could not be happier. Her and Geoff bring a relaxed vibe to each event that is so appreciated. We cannot say enough good things about them! Your wedding is not complete with Alison!
Alison was the first vendor I called when I got engaged (and figured out a date). And I don't regret that even a little bit! Our pictures came out incredible, and she really captured how happy we were on that day. She also managed the family pictures (which included kids and older people) really well and efficiently and we were able to get the more posed shots that we wanted - and they all came out great. Geoff, her husband and co-photographer, was also excellent. The detail shots they took were great, and they honestly are so nice and kind and easy to work with. And honestly - the pictures came out SO GREAT. Like editorial level. I am so happy she was the first person I called, and so happy that she was available! Highly, highly recommend.
Of all the photographers in the Philadelphia area I knew when my big day would eventually come, I always had my eye on Alison Conklin! I had met her and seen the work she did for my friend's wedding and literally fell in love with her gift of photography and capturing priceless candid moments. I fully trusted her with these precious moments in my life and I am eternally grateful for my decision. Alison and Geoffrey were the perfect team! Together they captured every moment that my husband and I hoped they would and they made these two camera-shy people feel right at home (and look good in the process). They both have amazing "bed-side manner" and are so calm, sweet and thoughtful in all their decisions. It was so easy working with them while planning for the big day; they always got back to our emails promptly and answered any questions we had. They were such a joy to work and have be a part of our day, I hope I get to use them again in the future for any other important events we want to capture in our lives!
It is a large task to trust someone with your wedding photos, and I cannot say enough about how Alison and her husband Geoff are worthy of that trust. They recently shot my destination wedding in New Orleans, and they made the entire photography process full of grace and ease. I have always been the type to get nervous in front of a camera, but Alison gives just enough direction to let you be your natural self so she can capture the light that we all carry naturally. Most of all, she encourages love in the photos, which is a great respite to all the logistics that are floating around your head during your wedding weekend. My time with her helped center me, refocus me on my husband and the commitment I was making, and it seemed to slow down time. I would say this is the greatest beauty of Alison's work - in a rushed day that can fly by like a whirlwind, her photography asks you to pause, make eye contact with those you love, take the whole experience in, and breathe. She is everything you would want on your wedding day -- an encouraging smile, a complementary support, and an artist who sees the beauty in the fullness of the scene. Never for one second did I wonder if she was missing a moment, as she literally clicks away for hours -- so much so that we asked everyone to put away their cameras and phones during the ceremony so they could be fully present with us. I can't tell you what a gift that is during your ceremony -- to have your loved ones fully "with" you (not distracted by technology) and trusting Alison to create her magic. So many people thanked me for requesting no other pictures but hers, as it freed them up to take it all in. She is patient (as I was definitely running behind on time), and creates beautiful work in minutes. Literally - she had a few highlight photos to me the next day. After our wedding, we did a second line parade down the street, while Alison walked backward down cobblestone, as did her husband Geoff carrying this enormous stadium light with him to light up the way - this is the kind of effort they go to for you. They let you feel cinematic in all the right ways, and they are champions of love. Look no further. You will not be disappointed.
Alison and Geoff are the most amazing photographers you could hire. I fell in love with their style a few years ago when my brother and sister in law were married and was so excited to have them shoot our wedding as well.
Throughout the day they made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and hardly knew they were there during our ceremony and reception. While we were away on our honeymoon, Alison kindly posted a few sneak peaks that were totally amazing and so fun to share with friends and family. However, the real magic happens when you get all of your photos back about a month later. They are all amazing! Alison and Geoff have such a great eye and their photos captured everything we could have wanted. We'll cherish them forever. Thank you!
Wow. Just wow. I love Alison and Geoff! I always knew I wanted them to shoot my wedding one day. Alison is a celebrity to me and she kind of really is since she travels all over the world to do what she does. First of all, the two of them are such an incredible couple. So sweet, friendly, FUN and simply easy-going! What a pleasure to work with the two of them. So accommodating, patient and helped to make the day so easy and enjoyable. They accommodated every request I had and made things happen the way we wanted them to. The pictures arrived a few weeks after the wedding! They also create a blog online and provide all the proofs online for you to download and share with friends and family. Now, the pictures. I can't stop looking through them! It is so hard to choose the ones to print and share. Having these incredible pictures to help bring us back to this most perfect day is amazing. Thank you Alison and Geoff for not only being available but most importantly creating these lasting memories for us. We are blown away by these pictures. Thank you!
Alison and Geoff captured beautiful, real moments all throughout our wedding, and they have both been wonderful to work with. Alison was professional and polite all throughout the planning process for our engagement photos (which came out so well they were featured in The Knot magazine's Fall/Winter 2016 edition), and for our wedding night. In person, Alison has a fun, informal style so our photos weren't forced or posed, and she caught our candid moments with each other and with our friends and family.
In addition to being fun and easy to work with, she and Geoff both put in a lot of hard work that my wife and I greatly appreciated. On the day of our engagement photos, when we were already shooting just after sunrise, Alison had driven nearly an hour to get to us and arrived over an hour early! She wanted to make sure she didn't get caught in traffic and miss the time, and was ready right away. As a result, we had the perfect lighting with early morning sun and our pictures came out great.
And on the night of the wedding, Geoff and Alison were constantly on the move getting great pictures of our guests enjoying themselves. We were pleasantly surprised on our honeymoon, less than a week after the wedding, that they had already uploaded all the pictures and they looked amazing!
My wife and I are very happy with all of our photos, and are so glad to be able to re-live our special night with photos of so many joyful and loving moments with our friends and family. Thank you Alison and Geoff!
Alison and Geoff were such a pleasure to work with. They were both extremely professional and genuinely nice people. Everything with them is just so easy and stress-free, which is so important on what can be such a stressful day. We are so pleased with our wedding photos and honestly couldn't be happier that we chose to work with them!
It's not really fair to describe Alison and Geoff as photographers. In truth, they are visionaries. Selecting a great photographer was the number one most important thing to me about our wedding. I spent hours and hours poring over websites, clicking through photos, and decided on Alison and Geoff after feeling as if they did they best job, bar none, at capturing genuine moments, joy, happiness, humor, sweetness -- everything that mattered to me. What I couldn't tell from their website, however, was how they produce such phenomenal photography largely as a result of being such phenomenal people themselves! I can't fully phrase just how at ease they made us feel, whether at our engagement session, getting prepped on the wedding day, before the wedding, and during the ceremony and reception. Our photos are remarkable as a result -- and the truth is, we were said when we had to say goodbye to them at the end of the night! If you look at Alison and Geoff's website, you can see that not only do they work with wedding couples, but many return to work with them when they have dogs, kids, for family photos, and more. That's because they are so talented, and so wonderful to be with. We are forever grateful that we were able to work with them on our wedding day, and look forward to creating many more memories together!
Alison Conklin Photography exceeded all of our expectations during our wedding weekend (& in helping with planning ahead of time). They are talented, creative, personable, professional & incredibly fun to work with. We received our final photos about a week ago and are blown-away at their magnificence. They captured every incredible moment of our special day. We were thrilled and blessed to work with them and would highly recommend them for any special occasion! We hope to work with them again in the future!
I can't recommend Alison Conklin Photography enough! Alison (and her husband, Geoff) are truly talented artists and were a pleasure to work with. During the planning phase, they were extremely responsive, usually returning emails or phone calls in minutes! During the wedding day, they were such a calm presence, and captured such perfect moments as the day unfolded. They are so observant and caught so many perfect details. One of my mom's friends asked her if we had hired wedding photographers at all, because they were so discreet and blended in with our guests! Best of all, the photos are absolutely incredible, and I will cherish them forever. They also sent my entire edited online album less than TWO weeks after the wedding- I couldn't believe how quickly they were able to turn them around! I am so happy and I highly recommend working with Alison!
Alison shot our engagement photos. They turned out beautifully! She was super easy to shoot with, and was really sweet and personable! Her style is so unique and has a great eye for really cool shots. My fiancé and I had a great time during our session with Alison : )
Where can I possibly begin....
Having been photographed my senior year of high school by Alison, and falling absolutely in love with her pictures, I always hoped I could have her as part of my wedding day. When the time finally came, she and Geoff were adventurous enough to join me and my husband (and our crazy international family) in Naples, Italy.
From their first lunch with my Italian family, through our engagement photo session in historic Naples, and our family style rehearsal dinner, it was a dream come true.
By the time the wedding day finally arrived, my husband and I truly felt as though Alison and Geoff were part of the family, and they made us feel so comfortable in those precious moments leading up to our ceremony. It was like having a best friend with you every step of the way, laughing with you, experiencing everything with you, and capturing the beautiful essence of every moment.
The entire day was made so absolutely perfect because everyone knew that the memories Alison was capturing were sure to be breathtaking, especially knowing that without a doubt there wouldn't be one special moment missed!
Every stolen kiss, lively laugh, and loving tear was captured beautifully, and they are truly the soul of each moment, memories immortalized, that will be cherished for the rest of our lives.
We thank Alison infinitely for joining our lives and being an amazing person in our adventures, and we look forward to having her there for future special moments in our lives!
Alison and Geoff are hands down the best photographers! I first met them when they photographed my sister's wedding and knew I would book them for mine. Everything from my engagement shoot to my wedding came out absolutely stunning. They are the nicest people to work with and really capture everything so amazing. I wouldn't look anywhere else!
Working with Alison and Geoff was amazing! Not only were they fun to have around on the day of the wedding but they took the most beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever. Our wedding day was crazy and went by in what felt like an instant! But Alison and Geoff captured all the moments we missed and all the beautiful ones we wanted to re live! Trying to narrow down photos for an album is impossible because we got so many amazing shots! They were worth every penny and we can't wait to use them again in the future!
We are still in awe of all the beautiful pictures from Alison. Her online portfolio speaks for itself, and she excels at still, portrait, and candid photography. She has a particularly great ability to capture candid moments. On the wedding day, Alison and Geoff were very laid back and put us at ease; it didn’t feel awkward like we were on a photoshoot. If Alison and Geoff can make us look beautiful and at ease, they can do it for anybody! We can’t wait to share our photos with family and friends!
Alison's reputation precedes her- she is truly the best in the business. I worked with her husband Geoff up to the wedding, and he responded to every e-mail I sent him within an hour. The day of, Alison and Geoff were such a calming presence and were wonderful people to spend a lot of the day with. Finally, my pictures arrived 1 month after the wedding (far quicker than I anticipated), and the pictures were more beautiful than I could have imagined. I can't recommend Alison Conklin enough.
Alison and Geoff joined us for our wedding in Anguilla in November of 2015. I had admired their work after seeing them photograph several of my friends/acquaintances weddings. Once I got engaged I reached out to them and their friendliness, responsiveness, and overall excitement about being part of our day made working with them a no brainer. We had a blast shooting our engagement photos with Alison in Central Park - getting into row boats together would certainly help to break the ice, although there was really no ice to break as Alison was sweet as could be from the second we met her.
Once we got to Anguilla, Alison and Geoff were so flexible and went with the flow, not adding a single ounce of stress to our wedding. They were there capturing all of the intimate moments from our day but not intrusive at all. All of my friends and family who were getting ready with me were in love with Alison (and the guys would say the same about Geoff who spent the morning of the wedding with them). They are two of the most hard working people I've met on a professional level, putting out work that I find more impressive than the "top" names in NYC photography, while also being two of the most genuine, kind, and fun people to work with. In looking at our photos, we were reminded of moments that would otherwise likely be forgotten, but capture the joy from our day in a way I didn't think was possible in a single photo. We couldn't be more thrilled with Alison & Geoff's work and wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone. There's no one else we would consider going to to capture the special moments in our life and look forward to working with them for a long time to come.
AMAZING!!! We're in love with our wedding pictures! Alison and Geoff are wonderful! They make you feel so relaxed and are extremely accommodating & patience. It's incredible how they capture such beautiful moments...they have such a creative eye, the pictures look like works of art! Alison and Geoff made our day extra special! We absolutely love our wedding photos, and will enjoy looking at them for years to come!
Alison and her husband are truly talented at what they do. The photos they are able to catch are simply amazing and breathtaking. They are also a pleasure to work with and two of the sweetest people I have ever met. Would highly recommend them for any occasion.

Alison and Geoff are the best of the best! They are super easy to work with, amazingly friendly, funny, professional... All the things you are looking for. Stop dilly dallying and hire them. It's like hanging out with you fun friends who also happen to be excellent photographers. They also create a fantastic high quality finished product, and were very responsive to all communications throughout planning. Worth every penny. Hire them.
The only photogrpaher I would reccommend to anyone would be Alison Conklin Photography. Both Alison and Geoff capture the moments that not all photographers do but that all clients want in their photos. Their photos don't feel staged or fake they capture all the real, precious moments on your special day. They made me and my husband feel comfortable taking photos which can somtimes be awkward. Alison has such a creative eye that made my photos look like they belonged in a magazine. I am so incredibly happy that I chose Alison Conklin Photograpgy.
Alison and Geoff were the best choice for our wedding. They were very accommodating and fun to hang out with as we did TWO engagement shoots on TWO different coasts of the United States!
The wedding day was relaxed but they still got great pictures of everyone getting ready and preparing for the big day.
The photos of the ceremony were stunning from all angles.
They also took some amazing shots during sunset at the receptions getting some amazing angles and colors that looked beautiful.
I rate them an 11 out of 10!
For me, photography was the #1 priority for my wedding. It's the only lasting piece to be able to enjoy later.
From my first email convo, Alison and her team were professional and warm. She delivered photos above and beyond my expectation. She truly captures magical light and beauty in her photos and I can not recommend her and her team enough.
She is the sweetest person and just makes you so comfortable you forget she is taking your photos. My husband was very camera shy and she made him look like a natural.
On the day of our wedding, her relaxed attitude helped calm my nerves and she got every shot I could have dreamed of.
Her and her team are a very special find. Beautiful inside and out and create the most incredible photo moments I am going to be able to treasure forever. Alison thank you so much for everything you do!
I would recommend Alison and her team to anyone that wants both beautiful imagery and an equally great experience working with her.
You cannot get a better photographer for your money. The talent & artistry involved in Alison's work is stunning, & you will not be disappointed.
We hired Alison for a package which included our Engagement Session. This was a great way to get to know her, her to get to know us, & have a great time. We spent time at a farm near her in PA (Rodale Institute Farm) & it was incredible. We got an unbelievable number of images from the shoot, & got to play around & try so many things.
Then came the wedding day! Our package also included her husband & co-shooter, Geoff. They work so well together - & you would barely notice they are there for all of the big moments - but they caught them all! While we did formal shots, my husband did some fishing, & the moment Alison captured ended up on the PhillyMag blog! Even the fish looked photo-ready!
Also, there are photographers out there who may limit the number of photos you receive. For both our engagement & wedding photos we received more pictures than I could have ever imagined! It has been so hard choosing shots for save the dates & thank yous!
The images that resulted from our big day take my breath away every time I look at them. If you want guaranteed amazing once-in-a-lifetime photography, Alison is your choice!
She was poised, calm, easy going, professional, personal, and fun. I 100% suggest booking her for anything. I've been a bridesmaid more than I can count and she was nothing like I'd ever experienced. Our expectations were not just met, they were exceeded!! BOOK HER!
Ever since Alison photographed my friend's wedding a few years ago, I started following her blog and admiring her work. When it came time for my own wedding, there was no question that I wanted to hire her. I live abroad but returned home to PA for my wedding, so as you can imagine, I had a lot to organise from far away. From my first email correspondence with Geoff, to my first meeting with Alison only a few months before my wedding, they were an absolute dream to work with. Alison has such a calm and warm demeanour, and she put me at ease from the very beginning. On the day of our wedding, she made the process of taking photographs feel so effortless and natural, and our wedding party felt just as comfortable as we did. We couldn't wait to see our proofs, and Alison was quick to deliver. Words can't even describe how amazing the photographs were. My husband and I looked through them for ages, and still do! Alison really managed to capture the spirit of the day, which was so important to us as it was the first (and probably last) time all our friends and family from two different countries would be in one place. Every reunion, first meeting, laugh, tear, crazy dance move...she got it all. She really gave us the most incredible gift, and we will cherish the photographs forever.
Like much of my wedding inspiration, I found Alison through a series of random Pinterest clicks. But once I found her, I was hooked. I looked through so many of her previous wedding blogs, and I loved how each one told I story. I could feel the emotions jumping off each photo, and I didn't even know the people! I did my due diligence and met with several other photographers. But at the end of the day, I kept comparing them to Alison's work that I had seen. I knew I couldn't go with anyone else on my wedding day.
My husband and I live in NJ but we decided to take a trip down to Philly to meet with Alison in person. In her laid-back and calm style, she walked us through the services she offers and confirmed our beliefs that she was the one for us.
She traveled up to us to do our engagement photos the summer before our wedding. I had never been photographed before, so I felt a little awkward and nervous. But Alison was great, asking us questions to get to know us as individuals and as a couple. This helped us to feel at ease and look as natural as possible.
On the wedding day, Alison and Geoff were an amazing team. They were there when we needed them without being distracted. They made sure to capture each photo we wanted but also went with the natural flow of the evening. All of the bridal party commented on how easy they were to work with. And I loved that Alison kept reminding the guys to take off their sunglasses-- a small detail I am so grateful for!
The pictures turned out more beautifully than I could imagine! I would recommend Alison to any future brides. She's worth it.
Choosing Alison to photograph our wedding was not even up for discussion when my husband and I began planning our wedding. I have never been the girl that was dreaming of her "perfect wedding", but I began following Alison's blog after she photographed one of my friend's weddings because I felt so engaged in the pure emotion captured by her photos (even of complete strangers).
A wedding day is a very special and very intimate experience, and I knew Alison's sensitivity and creativity would capture our love, happiness and those all-too-fleeting moments in a way that no one else could. With each picture of Alison's that my husband and I look at, we feel overcome by the emotion of that split-second - a stolen glance from my husband, my parents dancing together, our friends laughing, suspended mid-dance move.
If a picture is worth a thousand words, Alison's photos are truly priceless.
We hired Alison to photograph our wedding after hearing good things from friends and other wedding vendors. We could not have been more impressed! Alison was such a delight to work with. She was discreet but still captured all of the important details of the day. She had great ideas, and made us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. The photos of our wedding are absolutely exquisite. We already had high hopes when we hired her, but she truly exceeded our expectations.
First, their talent. Alison and Geoff work in such a way that you can can literally relive your wedding day through their pictures because they get the moments - the tug at your heartstrings moments, the ones you look back on and remember the most. They are fully invested and engaged in the dynamics of the day and beautifully capture them on camera. Everyone looks better through their lens - gorgeous, loving, happy and genuine.
On an interpersonal level, Alison and Geoff are people you want on your wedding day. They are so easy to be around - friendly, funny but know when and how to blend in seamlessly so as not to divert attention. They were so discreet while we were getting ready, during our ceremony and reception but you'd never know it from their pictures.
I can't recommend them highly enough!
My now husband and I saw Alison's pictures well over a year before our September wedding and from the first picture we both were in agreement that we had to have Alison photograph our wedding. We can not say enough wonderful things about ACP it truly is such an experience to work with Geoff and Alison. From getting ready to the last kiss of the day Alison and Geoff were there to capture every special moment. I received my pictures back in such a timely manner and they came back beyond expectations. When Alison showed us our pictures I was left with tears in my eyes and butterflies in my stomach, my pictures were absolutely stunning and we were so excited to share them with our friends and family. I honestly can say I brag to everyone that I was lucky enough to get the best wedding photographer a bride could ask for Alison and Geoff truly do provide an amazing experience and these two certainly are masters of their craft with the talent and personality to match. You can not go wrong with ACP as no other photographer even compares to what you get with Alison!!!!
