The engagem...
ent shoot was also such a great experience. The communication and care that Allan took with us is unparalleled. He met with us and discussed every detail so that the photography was seamless during the ceremony. His vast experience in New York City and Newport, RI is unmatched.
After the wedding and the engagement shoot he provided the pictures and videos ahead of schedule. There were so many pictures and he and his team truly captured the ceremony and reception. The most challenging part of the experience is deciding what pictures to frame.
DON'T MISS ON ALLAN!! ONE OF THE BEST!!
I can't say enough good things about Allan! We found him through our venue's Instagram and had the pleasure of working with him for our engagement session last summer. His work was...
so stunning that I recommended him for my sister's wedding last September, and he just did our wedding on June 21st. Allan had our gallery back to us faster than I have ever seen wedding photos come back. Both galleries are absolutely beautiful!
Allan made us feel so good about ourselves. He was incredibly nice and easy to work with, making us feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. I would recommend him again and again without hesitation. Thank you, Allan, for capturing our special moments so perfectly!
He is now an honorary member of our family. We will be calling him for all future photos.
I don’t think we can even put into words how much we loved working with Allan and how beautiful his photos were. Allan captured so many beautiful moments at our elopement. He was s...
uper easy to work with and was incredibly generous with his time with us. As someone who has been a photographer before, I was so impressed by the Allan’s work. We look forward to working with Allan again later this year for some family photos with our pup.
Allan-Thank you again!!
If you're seeking a skilled and creative photographer, look no further than Allan Millora Photography. We booked Allan for both our engagement and wedding photography, and it was u...
ndoubtedly the best decision we made while planning our wedding! Allan's relaxed and enjoyable approach to the photoshoot process put us at ease throughout both sessions. During the engagement shoot, he displayed his creativity and easygoing attitude while suggesting various locations for us to capture stunning images. Notably, the images were ready within days, which was incredibly impressive. On our special day, Allan and his team arrived early, were professional, and remained flexible throughout the day. They were mindful of the timeline, ensuring that everything ran smoothly. The photographs captured were beyond our expectations, showcasing elegance, classic, and innovative styles. We will cherish these moments forever, and we're grateful to Allan Millora and his team for their contribution to our special day! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

We cannot say enough good things about Allan and his team! We chose to work with Allan based on a recommendation from my sister, not only did we enjoy his work, but getting to know...
him and love for his craft was great! Allan took us all around providence for our engagement shoot, and picked some amazing spot, and the photos were ready within days! Cannot ask for more. On the week of our wedding, we were supposed to have a hurricane come through day of our ceremony. Getting married on a boat on the water, this was not ideal. Of all my vendors, Allan was the only vendor who didn’t contact me in a panic the day before our wedding, I truly appreciate his attitude, professionalism, and work ethic. On the day of our wedding allan and his team came promptly and prepared. He took gorgeous photos that we can cherish forever, not to mention the turnaround time was super fast! If you’re on the fence with a photographer for any meaningful moment, don’t hesitate to book with Allan Millora, you will not regret it! Cannot wait to work with him again in the future!

llan shot our rehearsal dinner and wedding and made everyone feel so comfortable and welcome - he felt like family! The whole wedding party the day after the wedding kept talking about how he was the best photographer we've all ever worked with. He was very flexible, accommodating, and easy going. We got the photos back super quickly and they all came out absolutely beautiful. I cannot recommend Allan enough! He is simply the best.
It's hard to believe it's been over 10 years since my family and I first met Allan and we're so grateful we did. His photography has been stunning, capturing some of the most impor...

I hired Allan Millora of Allan Millora Photography as our amazing photographer for our wedding on October 6, 2018 in Newport, RI. He was quick to respond to my inquiry of availabil...
ity and pricing and he was able to work within my budget. Allan’s amazing photography package included two photographers, one being himself and his awesome assistant, 7 hours of photography and an engagement session! The engagement and wedding photos came out phenomenal and within a timely manner. During our wedding and engagement sessions Allan was extremely knowledgeable about the locations of Newport as well as had creative ideas and locations for our wedding day. I’m extremely happy that I used Allan Millora as my photographer for my wedding and I would highly recommend him!
Allan was amazing! He honored our wishes to keep the photo-taking as painless as possible, while still delivering fantastic pictures. Highly Recommend!

Engagement Session, Scotland, Aberdeen
I had the pleasure of meeting Allan for my brother and soon to be sister in laws engagement session. From the very start, Allan proved to b...
e very experienced and creative with his work. He had a natural ability to utilize his surroundings to create truly beautiful work.
Allan has a very calm welcoming demeanor that made us all feel at ease. Working in customer service myself I was very impressed with Allan's professional approach and he was very quick to respond to any queries we had regarding the shoot. His end product was delivered within the stated timelines and was brilliant.
I would definitely recommend Allan Millora Photography, he created a very memorable experience that made that special day even more special.
I cannot say enough great thanks about Allan! He was quick to respond, extremely flexible and easy to work with. My husband and I are so awkward in front of the camera, but he made...
us laugh and feel comfortable. We loved our engagement photos and can’t wait to see our wedding ones. Allan and Mark photographed our wedding and had fun with us! They were personable and easy going, yet took control over our rowdy group so we could get the pictures we wanted. We loved working with them!
Allan and Billy did my wedding this past weekend at Woodwinds in Branford, CT. To say they were amazing is an understatement. I had met Allan when he photographed another wedding I...
was in and came highly recommended. When we did our Engagement pictures he was great at making both me and fiance feel comfortable in front of the camera and our engagement pictures came out fantastic. He came to photograph my bridesmaids and I while we got dressed and Billy was with the guys. We had a very large wedding party, but they were both fantastic at making sure we got individual shots with each person and capturing all the special moments of our day. I can't wait to see my pictures and would recommend Allan to anyone getting married!
Allan and Stephen were amazing! They blended in and during the ceremony and reception, we didn't even notice they were taking pictures all around us. They were professional and wor...
ked really hard to make us feel calm and at ease during our big day. We have only received a couple sample pictures so far, but they are absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend Allan Millora to anyone who is looking for a highly skilled, talented photographer who is easy to work with and knows what he's doing. We couldn't have chosen a better person for the job. Thanks, Allan and Stephen!
My husband and I met Allan at our engagement session last fall and he made us feel very comfortable and at ease. His photography and his wonderful eye made for some amazing shots!...
We asked Allan to complete a same day edit at our wedding on July 16 at Rosecliff and it left our guests in absolute awe. Allan and all of the other photographers/cinematographers were easy to get along with and gave us exactly what we wanted. He has always been super efficient and continued to make sure he knew what we wanted on the wedding day. I would highly recommend using Allan and his staff to photograph your next event!
I am so happy that we chose Allan Millora as our photographer for our wedding and engagement shoot. When we first met Allan, we could tell he was so professional and a genuine pers...
on who absolutely adores his job. He even took the time out of his busy schedule to drive our way since we live in Boston, MA so we could first meet in person to see if we connected. He answered all of our questions and took the time to get to know who we were as a couple. When we left our first meeting we knew 100% we wanted to book him ASAP. When looking for a photographer, the most important thing to us was to find a photographer who truly captured the emotion of joy, laughter, and love. That is exactly what we got from Allan Millora beautiful pictures!
For our engagement shoot, Alan is very good at making you comfortable in front of the camera and helps with posing for the perfect shots. I was happy we did the engagement shoot, because it really helps get rid of the nerves of being in front of the camera on your wedding day. I remember during our Engagement photo’s Allan told us the fact that he gets excited about different shots and the lighting lets you know he is passionate and wants the best pictures possible for you! He'll also get to know you and joke around to make you as comfortable as can be. Allan, you are truly the best!
Many people told me that your wedding day goes by in a flash, and it really does! Once your make up and dress are on, it's like you blink and it's all over! But looking through my photos that Allan took, they all take me back to those special moments of our wedding day. Not only are they artistically beautiful, but you can see and feel each person's emotions through the photos. Which I don't think many photographers have the gift of doing.
I was truly blown away when I saw our wedding pictures, they are absolutely perfect! He took over 2,800 photos and was amazed with the abundance of amazing photos taken. So many & so hard to decide which ones we love the most cause we loved them all. He captured every moment and can see how happy we were since we're smiling in just about all. Also he captured our friends and family and didn't miss anything thanks to him. If you're reading this review wondering if you should book him, stop, and go book him, like now! You won't regret it :)
Allan Millora deserves a Million stars and is such a passionate professional photographer and we highly recommend him. We are so pleased with his photos of our wedding at Ocean Cliff in Newport, RI. He captured such a wide range of emotions and special moments - we feel so honored that we were able to have him document our wedding. Alan even surprised us with a video to say thank you that he put together which was amazing! We absolutely loved this video that captured how happy and in love we are. Can't stop smiling viewing all our photos and now can't stop watching the video!
I could go on about Allan Millora and how incredibly wonderful he is - but I think he abundance of 10 star reviews speak for his excellence. Do yourself a favor and hire Allan Millora. He will make the memories of your special day last a lifetime!! Highly recommend.

We loved Allan from the minute we met him. We picked him based on his work that we had seen and the fact that he had shot another wedding at our venue, the Newport Yachting Center,...
which was breathtaking. We met him and loved his attitude, confidence, professionalism, and love for photography. He was so much fun to work with and always made us smile. He and his assistant Nate were the absolute best on our wedding day! They were so energetic yet professional and seemed to capture some amazing moments. They were so helpful throughout the day and the entire process as well, dealing with my many emails full of questions and questions on the day of. We can't wait to see the photos that Allan and Nate took! They were simply the best!!!
We have loved Allan from the moment we met him. Not only is his photography beautiful and breathtaking, but his temperament is exactly what we were looking for in a photographer. H...
e's so calm, not easily rattled, yet professional, composed and very much in control. The day of the wedding, he caught me having a little melt-down over one of the vendors running late, he even offered to help. I couldn't believe how nice and accommodating he was. Then in the Bridal room is was utter chaos, yet again, he was completely calm and very politely asked if we could all be ready in 20 minutes. We were ( I think). Another thing that I loved about Allan, is that he brings with him a second shooter, which I think is so important to insure that you are getting different vantage points of everything. At the ceremony and the reception, they completely blended in. You knew they were taking pictures, but yet you didn't... they were never in the way like some photographers are. They were also dressed very nice as any professional would/should be when attending a black tie event. (Another reason why they blended in). LOVE, LOVE, LOVED THEM! Can't wait to see the photos soon.
We used Allan for videography services. He himself did the filming and editing, and had an assistant with him. He was very accommodating to our needs and desires, and willing to wo...
rk with us on price. The highlight reel came out beautiful, and really captured the essence of the day. We were so happy with his work. He's also a pleasure to work with, very calming and professional. I highly recommend him!
Allan has been a friend of ours for years. We knew there was no one else who could document the moments on such a special day better than he could. Both our engagement shoot and w...
edding were done on beaches, and he was able to portray the natural beauty of both venues so well. We could not be happier with the way both sets of photos turned out! He and his second photographer were incredibly professional while capturing such intimate, special moments. Allan made sure that he showcased the many emotions of the day from silly and playful to poignant and sentimental. He was also amazing at including so many of our guests in the photos as well! We recommend Allan to all our friends and family as he did such a wonderful job at making our day look and feel like a dream come true! We will definitely continue to utilize Allan’s services on future special occasions!

come out incredible. I highly recommend using Allan!
We first met Allan about 9 months before our wedding day at a local bridal/wedding show in Rhode Island. After we introduced ourselves, Allan took the time to share his portfolio a...
nd learn more about us and what we were looking for during our wedding day. We left that show with a really good feeling about having Allan photograph our June 2013 wedding in Westerly, RI.
Several months later, once we set our wedding date, we had our first real sitdown with Allan. He was extremely accommodative by offering to meet us in our hometown that was some distance away. We were able to review much more of his portfolio and what we liked about his approach was his professionalism and his interest in hearing about how we wanted to shoot the wedding day. He balanced this with his experience and was able to map out some ideas of his own as well. He talked about how before any wedding day, he visits locations in advance to become familiar with them.
We felt that his photography packages were reasonable versus the competition and provided good value. We appreciated the fact that photography is his full time profession and he runs a studio during the week. We liked that he wasn't just a weekend wedding photographer or someone that did this as a hobby.
A couple weeks before the wedding we finalized the events of the wedding day with Allan along with times and locations. We thought this was a pretty important exercise to do during the pre-wedding preparations anyways!
On the day of the wedding, Allan arrived ahead of time ready to go with the bride/bridemaids at the salon. We also had a 2nd photographer that separately followed the groom in the morning who was also easy to work with and arrived on time. Having not met the 2nd photographer ahead of time, we feel that Allan made a very good choice.
From the ceremony through the post-wedding bridal party photos Allan and the 2nd photographer worked together extremely well to keep everyone organized and getting the photos in that we were looking for. Allan was able to incorporate a number of shots based on artistic pins we made on Pinterest too which was great!
The formal photos were fun and felt unstaged/unrehearsed which is what we wanted. He was able to incorporate the natural settings in the background well into the photos. Later, with family photos, we were able to move through them with ease as everyone was having a good time! The perfect weather of the day also helped with this :)
In the month or two after the wedding, Allan was able to upload in stages our photos onto his accessible online portfolio (zenfolio). We liked that he did it in stages because we weren't overwhelmed in looking at them all at once. It allowed us to anticipate looking at the next stage in the coming days. Once the photos were finalized, we thought he did excellent work with the photo-editing and arrangement. We didn't order any prints through Allan at this time but the USB flash drive he provided us would allow us to do so. Also, Allan provided us nice surprises along the way from a blog about our wedding day on Facebook to something else a little more personalized.
Overall, we would definitely work with Allan again (maybe future family portraits?!). We would recommend him to any of our friends getting married in the future. Newport and the greater Rhode Island area is greatly benefited by having Allan in the mix. Thanks Allan!
I highly recommend Allan Millora Photography. Allan was wonderful to work with. During our engagement shoot Allan spent so much time getting to know us and working to capture our ...
personalities on film. He has such an amazing eye for natural moments and captures them beautifully.
On our wedding day Allen was there to catch every important moment of the day. He and his assistant photographer were great to work with. They were extremely professional and accommodating. Allan helped me feel completely comfortable while being photographed.
My husband and I were in awe when we saw our wedding pictures. Everyone was absolutely beautiful and captured so much of what was important to us throughout the day. The pictures seemed to flow with our wedding and captured true moments of the day rather than looking like forced poses. I could not be happier with Allan’s photographs. We have gotten so many compliments from everyone that has seen our wedding pictures. I am recommending Allen to all of my friends. He helped make our day everything we dreamed it would be!
