Before hiring Alison for our wedding, we hired her company for our engagement photos and worked with one of her associate photographers because Alison was booked for our wedding. The photographer was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. It was the perfect thing to make us confident that the wedding would go well. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Alison was extremely responsive, supportive, and organized. She included lots of personal touches to get us excited for the big day and gave us lots of advice and recommendations when we asked. With everything else being so crazy, we felt like the photography was totally taken care of. The day of the wedding, Alison's associate photographers were extremely professional and positive. They helped the day run extremely smoothly and let us totally enjoy ourselves while still catching the big moments. Alison is an editing wizard and got our photos back to us so quickly. Couldn't be happier with the experience!
We had the BEST experience working with Alison and her team (Bridget) at Alison Dunn Photography. I could not have been more happy that we booked Alison to do both our engagement and wedding photos. She is so responsive, flexible, and made us feel very comfortable by telling us how to pose and also asking for our opinions in case we wanted some particular poses. Alison proved to not only be a fantastic photographer, but also someone we could go to for advice throughout our wedding planning. She coordinated the most perfect first look, gave us a heads up for things like getting a wedding permit, and sent us tips and tricks along the way.
On the actual wedding day, Alison was super reliable and did a tremendous job getting photos of people we pointed out like extended family and good friends. We are thrilled with how our photos turned out, and I would recommend Alison Dunn Photography to any couple looking to have their dream wedding!
Alison is a JOY to work with and her photography is spectacular. She photographed two of my sister's weddings, and was my first call when I was looking at wedding dates to make sure she was available! Day of the wedding, Alison made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful the entire time. Her and her second shooter blended into the background of the day and got the most stunning shots of me & hubs, and family and friends. AND she sent our photos back to us in less than a week! (She even sent a handful the morning after the wedding as a sneak peak which was such a joy to have so quickly!) Her eye for detail, capturing sweet moments, and helping wrangle large groups of people turns chaos into order - especially when you want to spend more time enjoying the day instead of looking for aunts and uncles for family photos!
Alison did an amazing job as our photographer. She was very fast in getting us the photos that she took. We got married on a Saturday and she had our website up with all of our photos able to download and order the following Monday. The photos she took looked incredible we got married at a country club and the majority of the photos were taken on a golf course. I was concerned that it would look like a golf course in the background but she did a great job and you couldn't tell it was a golf course at all. Alison was also very flexible which is something that was very important to us. We had to completely change our wedding size and the timing due to some family issues and COVID. Alison worked with us to insure that she was scheduled for the appropriate time and that we got all of the photos that we wanted. She did a great job of taking the photos and making it not look like such a small wedding. I would definitely hire Alison again or recommend her to a friend. She is nice, professional and does amazing work!
Working with Alison was a pleasure, from everything leading up to the wedding, to the big day! She always responded quickly to any of my questions and was very thoughtful throughout the process. The day of, she was awesome in being easy going but also keeping things on time and on track. Several family members came to me complimenting how great she was and how fast she worked. She got the photos back to me insanely fast!!!! They were everything I hoped they would be and more. HIGHLY recommend!
We are so thrilled that we chose Alison Dunn Photography to capture our wedding day. Alison and her assistant Bridget gave great direction and made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable. They photographed our entire day perfectly, without us ever feeling like we were being taken away from the party for photos. I woke up the next morning to sneak peak pictures, and we received the rest of our photos in record time - less than a week after our wedding date! We will cherish the photos forever, and HIGHLY recommend Alison to anyone getting married in the Philadelphia area.
Alison and Bridget were absolutely wonderful. Professional, responsive and organized. We had a small mini-mony because of coronavirus but Alison made us feel like it was still a real event. When we had to make some last minute changes they were incredibly flexible and understanding, working with us to make a plan. My husband and I are definitely people who shy away from the spotlight but Alison made us feel comfortable and I actually enjoyed having my photo taken. The photographs are absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful to have these memories preserved for many years to come. Will definitely be using Alison Dunn Photography again for our other life events!
Alison Dunn Photography (and her staff) is amazing! She cared about my fiancee and me and "our story" and it is so evident that she is passionate about her work. Leading up to wedding day Alison was very communicative and helpful with any/all questions. She is professional, supportive, calm, thorough, and AMAZING at what she does. I had so much fun with her on wedding day and taking photos with my groom! She captured genuine joy and happiness in our photos and it was a perfect day. I highly recommend her and would absolutely hire her again!
Where do I even start? Well first, we 110% give recommendation for ADP. I’m not the typical female that has dreamed of her wedding day since she was a little girl... don’t get me wrong, I LOVE planning parties and events but only when I’m not the center of attention so with that, I wanted to just go to the courthouse and save a boatload of money but since my now husband insisted on actually having a wedding then I told him I want a fabulous photographer, no matter the cost because if you’re going to spend months planning an event that only goes on for a couple hours, I have to have photos that will perfectly capture everything so we can relive it forever.
When I came across Alison on our venues Recommendation sheet, I looked at her website, blog, IG, and Facebook- boy was I impressed! There was just something about her artistic shooting style that made it me instantly want her for our wedding. She was easy to communicate with from the start, had great packages to choose from, and was just genuinely nice to talk to.
I brought A LOT of props to our engagement shoot and she was great in including everything- even when it was freezing outside (February). Our photos were ready in less than a week!
Fast forward to our wedding on 11/24/2019- her, the second shooter, Meghan, and their assistant, Alex, were awesome! I sent Alison a down to the minute timeline that we were all following since we were on a time crunch and she made sure to keep us all on time so I didn’t have to worry about it. She did a wonderful job capturing our special day- using our smoke bombs, capturing the perfect watching-the-fireworks photos, and THE PUPPIES we had as special guests.
Not even 3 days later, she sent a huge digital wedding album to us... definitely didn’t have to wait weeks or months to relive our day n like other photographers would’ve had us do. She was perfect and can’t wait to hire her in the future if any littles come into play.
Side note: following her life on social media definitely made me believe even more that she was the perfect photographer for us. A dream of mine is to foster and adopt children so to see her already doing that, wow! What a selfless person.
Thanks, Alison!
Couldn't be happier! Look no further!
Alison was everything we expected and more. Hiring her was the easiest part of wedding planning because we knew that, with her at the helm, everything was taken care of. Having been in other ADP weddings prior, I knew that Alison's efficiency did not compromise her artistry. We had wedding pictures on our greeting table before the reception was even over! Her second shooter was phenomenal, her assistant was amazing as always, the Invisibooth was a big hit and we could not be happier with how our pictures came out.
Of the multiple decisions we needed to make when we got engaged, booking Alison as our photographer might be the best one of all! She truly is talented and has an eye for capturing beautiful moments. I really appreciated how she was incredibly organized (sending google forms to fill out for more information instead of inundating me with last minute questions) and she obviously has worked out a process to make everything run smoothly. She tells you exactly where to look and what to do to make the perfect picture. I also was really happy with her demeanor and organization during the event. She didn’t belabor the time spent taking bridal photos or bridal party photos (we were really hot!). She got great pictures in just a few minutes and had us moving along quickly to the next event. Her keen eye for good photography made the process seamless and the photos we received from her are absolutely stunning. I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or anyone looking to capture any special moment!
I came away extremely impressed with Alison, who we found via a couple of personal referrals. Her photography was excellent, but the personal service, flexibility, and the ease of working with her are what set her apart for me. The whole time, it felt like we just happened to have a close friend who wanted us to have great photos of an important day. If you give her a call and chat with her, I think you will understand what I am talking about, and she always came through for us.
A few examples:
• When we got together for engagement photos, she said something like “okay now I know that this is weird, but lean really far forward and turn your chin awkwardly to the right”. Sure enough, that was one of our favorite photos
• After both the engagement and wedding photos, we got an easy email with everything included really quickly, which was very important to my wife who eagerly went through all of them several times
• She met with us for an initial discussion like 2 days after giving birth to her child. I never would have thought to care how “committed” our wedding photographer was, but she really does stand out on this dimension
• This story is the most ridiculous: to kick off the cocktail party, my wife used a champagne sword to slice off the top of a champagne bottle. Unfortunately, one of the shards hit Alison in the ankle, causing her to bleed a decent amount. When I went to go see how she was doing and to apologize, she was somehow apologizing to us, and regretfully telling us that she would have to step out but that her assistant photographer was really good and she would send an urgent text to her photographer friends asking for help. It was totally understandable and a professional response to a tough situation.
But then the craziest thing happened. SHE WENT HOME AND GOT HER DOCTOR HUSBAND TO GIVE HER 12 STICHES IN THEIR KITCHEN, AND THEN CAME BACK TO THE RECEPTION, which she stayed at an hour longer than we were paying her for. Crazy commitment.
Alison is amazingly attentive to your vision and will capture every moment perfectly ! She’s incredibly efficient, sweet and kind. We received our photos before we got home from our honeymoon. I highly recommend Alison to make your wedding experience special !
Thank you Alison !
I cannot say enough good things about Alison Dunn Photography! Alison's photos are some of the most gorgeous I have ever seen and she truly has a talent to capture images that show real emotions and are not staged. Not only are Alison's photos the best ever, but Alison herself is so easy to work with. From the first time I spoke to her she was so genuine, she makes you feel like a friend not just a client. Alison is also extremely responsive, whenever I had a question she would answer it right away. She goes above and beyond to make you feel even more excited about wedding planning (I won't share too many details to ruin the surprises!). On the day of my wedding Alison not only took photos but made sure things were perfect for the photos. For example, she noticed my cake support was showing so she quickly added flowers to it so it would look perfect for photos. I would definitely recommend Alison Dunn Photography to anyone looking for a photographer- she is really the best :)
Choosing Alison as our wedding photographer was the easiest and best decision that we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were immediately drawn to her style of photography which is natural, simple, and absolutely breathtaking. She is so talented. Not only that, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We couldn't be more pleased with the way both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. Alison is extremely easy to work with -- organized, prompt, communicative. She helped us so much, even with aspects of our wedding outside of the photography -- from planning a timeline for the day to even recommending the wedding band we chose. I would recommend Alison work to anyone getting married in the area! I cannot say enough good things!
We used their Invisibooth and it was such a hit! All the guests loved the prop options and the amazing gold background! Thank you!!
Choosing Alison to photograph our wedding was one of the best decisions we made! Her photos are beyond gorgeous and she is so wonderful to work with. I came across Alison while looking at another photographer's site and was immediately drawn to her style. We had a great first conversation with her and were blown away by our engagement photos. Alison put us totally at ease front of a camera and was so encouraging. Alison's team is also a great reflection of her; everyone brought a great energy to the day. Our wedding day photos are stunning and were are so happy with them. We didn't have to wait more than a week or so for our photographs; we were able to look through them on our honeymoon! I highly recommend Alison and cannot say enough good things about her and her work.
