We had an incredible experience with Allan and his team! From the moment we arrived, they were so friendly and welcoming, making us feel completely at ease. They were super patient...
, helping us with different poses and ensuring everything was perfect without ever making us feel rushed. It felt more like a fun, relaxed session than a stressful photo shoot, which we truly appreciated. Allan and his crew were professional, yet approachable, and really went the extra mile to make sure we got the best shots. Highly recommend them to anyone looking for an amazing photographer who makes the entire process enjoyable and stress-free!
We’re so lucky to have found All On Deck photos. Allan has made this process super easy for us. From our very first online meeting to taking our engagement photos, Allan was incred...
ibly responsive, organized, personable, and knowledgeable. He was able to edit and send our engagement photos in only a couple of days & we couldn’t be more thrilled with how beautiful they turned out.
We’re looking forward to having Allan and his team for our wedding day - we know we’ll be in good hands!
All On Deck Photos did an AMAZING job!! They were super responsive and checked in with us regularly during the planning phase to make sure everything was perfect! They went to our ...

Allan and Segun (his team member at All On Deck) really helped us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. At first, we were hesitant since we weren’t used to posing, but Alla...
n shared some great tips on making each pose natural while capturing some AMAZING candid shots! He was intentional in capturing us in the best light and knew how to work with the humidity in the environment (we were in a humid climate which constantly fogged up his lens) to ensure the best shots that met our ‘vibe’ and ‘vision.’
Allan and his team were intentional in ensuring the best angles to not only showcase details but also capture our emotions. We feel that each photo captures different perspectives of our relationship--we can be funny, intimate, serious, and joyful simultaneously!
We are proud to work with Allan and his team for our engagement shoot and look forward to our wedding. There is no doubt that they’ll capture the best moments on our special day. Thanks so much, Allan, Segun, and All On Deck!
Wow. What can we say about Allan & the AOD team that hasn’t already been said! We could not have picked a better photographer for our engagement photos and upcoming wedding. We ap...
preciate Allan’s creativity & love how he includes his couples in the process. Everything from our first zoom mtg to the day of our photo shoot has been informative & fun! He provides expertise, professionalism, and genuinely cares, while looking out for his couples; i.e tips for poses & coordinated outfits. In addition, Allan provided us with our engagement portfolio in JUST a couple of days… what a lovely surprise! We cannot wait to work with Allan, Segun, and the rest of the AOD team again next year.
Wonderful service! We felt comfortable working with All on Deck! They captured exactly what we wanted.
The entire team did an amazing job communicating behind the scenes and the day of our wedding. Encouraging and helpful in guidance for pictures and overall they did a fabulous job!...

We had a great time working with Allan for our engagement shoot! He provided easy guidance for poses that brought out our personalities and was accommodating with our requests.
Without a doubt, Allan and the rest of the AOD team (Andre, Segun, Julienne) were hands down the best and easiest vendor we worked with for our engagement shoot and wedding day sho...
ot.
Their communication is top notch and we felt supported the entire way through from initial contact, to planning our engagement shoot, to finally capturing our big day and all the fine details and festivities (we had three separate locations in two counties). Allan scheduled phone calls, Zoom meetings, sent us frequent text messages, and emails to go over every detail during our five month planning process. Even though they had to travel a far distance to our wedding and engagement shoot, they were punctual and arrived early to set up and brief us of their game plan.
On the day of our wedding, Allan and his team did a wonderful job capturing all the special moments while simultaneously blending in to the background. They were professional but also fun to be around. Many of our guests complimented us on how awesome our wedding photographers were. We are not used to being photographed but AOD made us and our guests feel at ease. We couldn’t believe some of the incredible candid shots that they captured; they have a creative eye and attention to detail. We are extremely happy with our engagement and wedding day photos. We would not hesitate recommending AOD to anyone. Thank you for everything.
Allan and Segun were so helpful and really made sure my fiancé and I felt comfortable during our engagement session! We’re looking forward to having them shoot our wedding. Thank y...

olutely in love in our pictures!!
Allan and his team were amazing and communicative! We felt so comfortable and at ease throughout the entire process and especially during the wedding. I also really appreciated his...
attention to detail during the time leading up to the wedding (the follow ups/tips/checking in to see if we had questions). The other thing that was also super helpful was his direction during the photo shoot, it made posing so much easier and the photos turned out incredible and natural.
When the photos came out afterwards, we were SO happy!! I was nervous because I'd never done professional photography before but thanks to Allan and his team I felt so beautiful and was so excited to share all the photos!
I highly recommend Allan and his team, the entire experience was so easy and fun!
My fiancé and I booked All On Deck for our engagement shoot and to say we are pleased is an understatement. Allan and Segun took care of us so well and delivered the most beautiful...
experience and pictures. They’re super respectful and professional. They showed us how to pose, listened and took action with any requests, and they made us feel so comfortable. Not to mention, they hyped us up so much which gave us a boost of confidence to slay these pictures as much as they did behind the lens. We’re excited to have All On Deck capture our engagement shoot and our upcoming wedding. Thank you Allan and Segun. You guys are the best.
Joren and his wife both were perfect. They dressed for the occasion; my wedding, looked the part and played the part. Their professionalism was on point and they even made it feel ...
very personable. My wife and I felt very pleased to have them two, Joren especially had all of the right angles and knew each position or pose to be in for a perfect shot. He even went above and beyond, even helping my wife set up our wedding before the ceremony. 10/10 would highly recommend!
Allan and his assistant Segun were absolutely wonderful! We first found All on Deck through Instagram when a friend had a surprise engagement photoshoot. When we reached out to All...
an, we were planning on having a big wedding and he was very helpful in answering questions. Even though we had decided to go with our initial venue's preferred vendor, Allan was still super considerate in providing tips/advice about our wedding day.
After a few months, my husband and I completely changed course in opting for a smaller wedding at SF City Hall. We talked with Allan again and had a lot of back and forth while we settled on the new plans, thankfully Allan made sure to follow up with me while things were busy and he was always very supportive. We finally hired All on Deck about 4 months before our wedding date with Allan supporting us with more questions, add-ons, advice, and energy every step of the way! We booked 4.5 hours with AOD for getting ready bridal party pictures, first look, groomsmen pictures at city hall, the ceremony, and couple portraits.
Come wedding day, Allan and Segun were wonderful from the start! They were very flexible with timing, starting with detail shots while the bridal party finished up getting ready. Allan did a great job guiding us in poses and capturing candid moments, too. Even though it was my first time meeting him, I felt very comfortable with him right away!
At city hall, the best men and I had a prank on my husband before our first look, which Allan helped out with flawlessly. He captured both the prank and the real first look perfectly. The ceremony shots were breathtaking, and our couple portraits were absolutely incredible. Our wedding was during a heat wave, so by the end of the pictures my husband and I were exhausted and sweaty, but through it all Allan and Segun were SO kind and supportive.
We left the next day after our wedding for our honeymoon. Two days after the wedding, Allan surprised us with our FULL photo gallery!!!!! It was honestly the BEST surprise while on our honeymoon!! We are still obsessed with our pictures and couldn't be happier with how everything turned out.
Allan completely exceeded our expectations and we are SOO happy to have had him be a part of our big day! Next time we need a photographer, we will absolutely be booking with Allan again. We highly recommend All on Deck for weddings and any other big milestones! Thank you so much Allan and Segun!
It was a lot of fun working with Allan! This mine and my fiancé's first time doing any sort of photoshoot but Allan just knew how to get the best out of us. His instructions were e...
asy to follow, he always asked what we were comfortable doing, and he shared photos with us throughout the session. The end results did not disappoint! Silly shots, serious posses, romantic kisses, and candid strolls, every single photo was just light and dreamy and beautiful.
They were great! Allan helped us so much with the vision we wanted and never failed to reach out about what we needed. The photos themselves were beautiful!! Great work by All Hand...

Allan and Segun were professional, communicative, and supportive throughout the entire process of planning and shooting our engagement photos. We had several phone calls that allow...
ed us to share our questions, concerns, and preferences for the photo shoot. We felt prepared and informed on the day of our photoshoot. During the photoshoot they guided us through the entire process including proper posing, their artistic vision from behind the camera, and the immediate results of the photos. We recieved the finished, edited photos about 1 week later. We were very pleased with how the photos turned out. We highly recommend their services to anyone interested in wedding photogropher services.
We had the pleasure of working with Allan and his team on our wedding day. From the first initial call with Allan all the way to receiving our pictures, it was an amazing experienc...

I would like to express my utmost appreciation for the exceptional teamwork and professionalism demonstrated by Allan and his team. The photographs they captured are truly remarkab...
le and have been widely admired by our friends and family. Allan's guidance and expertise were invaluable in ensuring that every moment was captured perfectly, and even my fiancé, who is usually hesitant about taking pictures, felt comfortable and relaxed throughout the session. We are delighted with the results and highly recommend Allan's services to anyone seeking exceptional photography.
All On Deck is everything that you've been looking for in a photographer. They have been so accommodating and easy to talk to from consultation up until the moment we got the pictu...
res from them. They also gave us options to make sure that we will stay on our budget but the best out of it. They just went above and beyond with everything we've planned and even those unspoken needs and wants, they just know it all. They act as an organizer as well making sure that we're always on track of our wedding and making sure that we got all the shots that we wanted, and requested. Their light personality made us very comfortable during the shoot and even if we had a little delay on our timeline during the wedding, they helped us made sure that everything will still go on smoothly. Over all, having them as a photographer on our wedding is one of the best decisions we have made for our wedding. Again, thank you Allan, Segun, and Julienne so much for everything, you made our wedding perfect.
My fiancé and I recently completed our engagement pictures with AOD and I cannot say enough positive things about our experience and their team! They provided a lot of helpful tips...
and guidance throughout the whole engagement shoot. Their positive energy made the experience so fun and laid back! We were pleasantly surprised on the quick turnaround time on our pictures, and couldn't be happier with the way they turned out! Allan has also been extremely communicative regarding questions related to our shoot and upcoming wedding. We would highly recommend booking AOD as your wedding photography team!
Allan and the AOD team are simply the best! From our initial discussions they hopped right on board with our vision for our engagement photo shoot and really helped us to define ex...
actly what it was that we wanted for coverage, location and were very enthusiastic about making sure that our vision was possible and that the finish result reflected this.
Allan and his team are true professionals and made us feel comfortable and relaxed during our photo shoot. Our engagement photo shoot photos came out wonderfully and we’re excited to share them with family and friends. We are looking forward to having Allan and his team at our wedding to help us capture the magical moment.
We're absolutely thrilled to recommend Allan / AOD to anyone looking for a photographer in the Bay Area. Allan and his team were an exceptional choice for our engagement photoshoot...
. We decided to have our engagement photo shoot at Sutro Baths in San Francisco, and from the first moment, we knew we had made the right choice by selecting Allan and his team to capture our special moments. Allan was incredibly attentive, always checking in with us to see if we had any questions and responding right away whenever we did. He was easy to communicate with, flexible, and always professional.
One of the best things about Allan and his team is that they are the BEST hype men any couple could ask for! My fiancé and I feel quite awkward when it comes to taking photos, but Allan and his team did an amazing job making us feel comfortable and confident as they guided us through the process of posing to get our best angles. The final result was simply incredible, and we are absolutely obsessed with our photos!
Allan and his team also went above and beyond to accommodate our furry friend, which we appreciate so much! We are so grateful to AOD for all their kindness, help, and, of course, for capturing our wonderful engagement photos. We cannot wait to have them take more photos on our wedding day!!
Never regretted investing in them. All on deck went above our expectations. The photos and the video were so great, it made both of us cry.

tion but that we got to know each other and you can tell how effective that was through each photo, that he understood exactly what we were looking for and the story that we wanted to tell. What more can I say, when we received our photos every shot took us back to the very moment of our special day. Professional, personable, and such a fun team to work with! We couldn’t have asked for more!
We are so happy with the photo results from our wedding. Allan and company were wonderful in every way. Everyone was extremely friendly, fun. joyful, and very professional. As ever...
yone knows weddings are incredibly stressful and AoD did everything they could to make things go as smoothly as possible. We had so many family photo permutations and so many table visits and AoD handled them perfectly and the photos came out so great. They were incredibly respectful during our first look and allowed us time to enjoy the moment as they continued taking photos without me even noticing they were still there. They were great with the little children and our overly hyper dog. I can't recommend All on Deck Photography enough.
When finding a photographer, personality was everything to me. We wanted someone who made us feel comfortable and laugh naturally. Allan and his team were perfect for our special d...
ay! Allan is very friendly, patient, funny and flexible. During the reception, he was not in our faces but somehow got wonderful photos!
Thanks AOD!

On our wedding day Allan and his team were the utmost prepared, and they guided us through the whole day! They were extremely organized and provided my wife & I with an awesome schedule to follow for pictures. Allan is very experienced with poses, camera angles, and lighting and they even brought a drone to use which was incredible! Would 10/10 recommend AOD for all types of events, Allan and his team are incredible!

I wish I could convey just how thankful we are to AOD through this review, but no words can cover just how much we appreciate all that they’ve done for us. Allan and his team made...
sure that from the moment we had our consultation with them, through the complimentary engagement shoot, to coming out to bottle service with us after the rehearsal dinner, and finally to our big day that we were fully taken care of, all concerns were addressed, all questions were answered, every request was fulfilled, and every precious moment was documented. I never expected to feel so comfortable in front of a camera, but AOD made it super easy to pose, be comfortable, and just get the best possible outcomes for our pictures and videos. They were SO accommodating, so kind, and fit in with the celebration so well because they were having fun doing what they do best! I’m giving AOD all our support, all our praise because they truly deserve it, and they deserve your business. You will not regret trusting them with your milestone events, because they will do everything they can to give you the absolute best experience you didn’t even know was possible. Plus, they got us our engagement photos fully edited a DAY after, and our FULL wedding gallery A WEEK after the event. With such great quality, too! Are you kidding me?! Absolutely incredible. What a team.
This review is long over due. My husband and I finally got to have the wedding of our dreams in 2022 after all the pandemic madness. We were last minute with many details, so I was...
worried that we wouldn't find a photographer. While scrolling through Instagram, All on Deck's page popped up in one of my hashtag searches. As I looked through their work, I knew I wanted to reach out. As soon as I inquired, Allan responded right away to schedule a phone call. I believe we talked the next day and Allan was so friendly and luckily had our wedding date available. At the time, I wasn't sure about hiring a videographer, but I found out that All on Deck offered a photo/video package and that caught my eye. I loved that they provided both! We did our engagement shoot with Allan and it was such a chill vibe. My husband and I were so comfortable in front of the camera and it just felt natural. We ended up having a lot of fun.
My fiancé and I have been so pleased with Allan and his team! From the start, the communication has been excellent and he's been willing to help in any way he can. We just had our ...

Allan and his team were amazing to work with. We did a surprise proposal followed by a photoshoot. Everything from communication to execution was 5 stars. Allan was always quick to...
respond in preparation to our shoot. Allan and his team went to the proposal spot early to check if it was crowded and communicated with me the entire morning leading up to the actual proposal. He also met with our families to give them a quick run down of when to come out for the surprise and where to hide.
During the shoot, him and his team were great at suggesting how to pose and where to pose. For those that are shy in front of a camera, he and his team will do a great job of making you feel comfortable so that the shoot will be seamless.
Segun was great at giving us instructions during the video shoot and was also a great hype man! Julienne also captured amazing videos of our proposal and delivered it to us quickly so that we were able to post on our socials.
Him and his team captured a very big moment in our lives that we’ll be able to look back at forever. Would highly recommend working with AOD.
We would highly recommend Allan if your looking for a wedding photographer. We loved the pictures! Allan was always responsive and answered all the questions we had. He and Andre ...

Allan communicated with us throughout the planning phase, up to the day off. The whole AOD team were helpful and provided tips for posing, location, lighting…everything! They went ...

My husband and I worked with these guys for both our engagement shoot and for our wedding day and I couldn’t recommend them more! First of all, they are easy to contact and are gre...
at at communicating - so important when planning such a huge event with many moving parts.
At weddings, they take care of everything and all you have to do is relax and enjoy your event, knowing that all the special moments will be captured. I’m in love with all of my wedding photos and the highlight video!
For posed photos, they do an excellent job of instructing you with what to do. For the engagement shoot, my husband and I arrived not really knowing how to pose together, but that was not a problem! These guys positioned us and magically made us look great.
Of all the many vendors we had at our wedding, this team was honestly our favorite. I loved working with them because not only did they made us feel at ease in front of the camera, they were so professional, and the warmest, nicest people that I will surely be working with in the future! Thanks AOD!
Hiring this team to capture our wedding day was one of the best decisions we made when it came to wedding planning. Their professionalism and friendliness just shows what an amazin...
g group this is. They make sure they are able to capture your day in the way you visualize it and are able to overcome and adapt to the mishaps that can happen on a wedding day.
We first met Allan at our engagement shoot and he helped us overcome out camera shyness being the best hype man. He helps with posing and has vision he is ready to execute.
Overall, we cannot wait to refer our future engaged friends to work with All on Deck as well as be in contact for our future photography and videography needs. THANK you AOD for being one of the highlights of our wedding day.
