About this vendor
For me, witnessing a wedding is the greatest honor of being a photographer. Whether in rustic backyards or grand ballrooms, the greatest story is told through the couple and the lens that captures their most powerful moments. I take pride in skill, but most of all, commitment. Some say patience is a virtue; however, commitment transcends time. Commitment to my craft, commitment to honoring the couple, commitment to making their day one to remember. From the Monterey seas to the golden hills of Napa County, I travel to preserve memories.

My wife and I used Allan's service for our wedding and I can only say great things. Allan was very professional he was not afraid to make suggestions or take them. He was very orga...
nized and I don't think I saw him sitting down other then grabbing a quick bite to eat so he could go right back into the trenches.
Before the wedding we got together and worked out a contract. I was new to this and had plenty of questions. Allan walked me through the process and helped me to better understand what the terms meant. Allan was very reasonable and was willing to work with our budget.
After the wedding Allan got all the photos to us in a reasonable time. We got over 1,000 photos and they were all edited and looked amazing. My wife was so thrilled she already has posted quite a few pictures on social media.
If you want someone professional and courteous look no further than Allan. I hope you let Allan let you memorialize your big day with the pictures he can provide!
Allan was great! He was very professional and timely in all of his communication, he was on time and stayed longer than promised, was very friendly and personable with the guests, ...
and he had fun ideas for posed shots. We're really happy with the pictures from our special day, and definitely recommend him!
We eloped earlier in the year and planned a big (for us, about 60 people) reception in Copperopolis at an old brick armory building. I consider myself to be a fairly serious amateur photographer and I knew that it was going to be a little challenging to get awesome pictures in this setting, but he was totally on top of it. He was able to find and use the best light, and didn't go overboard with flash, but knew when it was appropriate to use it.
My favorite part of his work was that he was able to capture some really sweet moments, honest interactions, and people looking their best. We got a few shots from him right away, and the turnaround for getting the rest of the shots was very reasonable. Not every photographer in this price range has the eye for that, and I feel lucky that he really did live up to the work in his portfolio. Speaking of his portfolio, his processing style was well represented.
Overall, I'm glad we hired him and I'd definitely recommend him to friends in the area if they're getting married.
We were very blessed to have Allan photograph our most special day in our lives….
Our Wedding Day!
We were very impressed with his professional...
ism, flexibility and comforting presence. He was fun to be around and had such a soothing personality. He was so easy going and patient. A true gentleman!
Allan made sure he got pictures of the whole family and all who attended the wedding and reception. He came fully prepared with tons of cameras and equipment. He stealthily made his way around the event catching all the key moments and at all the right angles. He made sure that he got all the shots of our family, friends, and all who attended. We were so pleased when we got all the pictures.
It is so important to have the right person recording the most important day of your life.
Allan is my first choice and recommendation when it comes to securing a photographer....
So glad we had Allan!
We hired Allan for our wedding in October 8th 2017 and never regretted it for a moment! From day 1, he was so incredibly easy to work with and laid back! As anyone who plans a wedd...
ing knows that your days fill up quickly which leaves very limited time to work with your photographer. However, Allan was incredibly flexible, willing to work around our busy schedule and was so incredibly patient!
On the day of the wedding, he was there early and was one of the last people to leave! Even when we told him he could go home, he insisted on staying to capture every moment (which turned out to be some of our favorite pictures!)
He knew the perfect poses for couples (Thankfully because we had no clue what to do) as well as many poses for our bridesmaids/groomsmen! He was also really flexible to allow us to do any poses we wanted :D He even some how managed collect all of our families on both sides (EXTENDED TOO!) and did a massive group shot, at our request!
I could go on and on but ultimately, I can say with assurance, you wont be disappointed if you pick Allan :D :D
