Allee was so fun to work with! She is energetic, organized, and so kind! Everything went smoothly for all of our wedding pictures! From engagements, to bridals, to capturing our we...
dding day she was amazing through it all. We had a destination wedding and Allee explored the location the day before for the best shots/sunset timing etc! Everything was so thorough and planned - can’t say enough about how pleased we were with our pictures! The quality of work is airy and truly stunning! Truly the best! :)
AlleeJ is the sweetest person ever! We had the pleasure of having her as our wedding photographer and she mad everything so easy. AlleeJ makes sure you are taken care of! 10/10 wou...
ld recommend and I would let her take pictures for us over and over again! This wonder lady could take pictures of anything and make it look good! If you wanting a stress free, worry free, and easy photo shoot just go ahead and book AlleeJ
I absolutely loved working with Alexandra! There was a rainstorm on my wedding day that made us totally change where we were going to take pictures, initially I was really disappoi...
nted but once I got the pictures back there was zero disappointment! Alexandra found the most beautiful places to take pictures that I would have never even thought of. I love my wedding pictures and I am SO thankful for her!
Allee J has been the wedding photographer for 3 on my adult children’s weddings. I have been the mother of the bride twice and the mother of the groom once. Each wedding was at ...
a totally different venue, during totally different times of the year. Each wedding held a different vibe with a different story. But the ONE CONSTANT in each wedding was the GORGEOUS PhOTOGRAPHY that poignantly and personally told the story of the bride and groom on their wedding day.
From start to finish, Allee prepares you by meeting, planning, and understanding just who the bride and groom are and what their personal story is. She then sets you up with a timeline for your wedding day that is better than any wedding coordinator....in fact Allee could be the wedding coordinator! She knows her stuff! She shows up ready to work and manages to give you even more bang for your buck! She captures all the little nuisances between a mother and daughter as she gets ready, the emotion of a father, the wedding party laughing, getting ready, praying, whatever is going on. One of my daughters had a first look and she captured the poignancy of that moment. The other daughter didn’t want a first look and Allee caught the raw emotion of the bride and groom seeing each other for the first time down the aisle.
She’s the hardest worker at the wedding! I don’t know how she does it, but she doesn’t miss anything. She records every detail...all the moments...before the wedding, the ceremony, family photos, the reception, the send off...and so so much more. And get this...she’s so easy to work with! In fact she is incredibly kind and good natured about working with you!
Here’s the thing, you can find a photographer that will be less costly. But don’t. It’s one day. You are already spending tons of money on all the other stuff that you won’t remember or notice on the day of the wedding. But Allee, with her intuitive talent and storytelling ability will professionally capture all the moments so that you can remember them for a lifetime and share them with generations to come. Her photos have a timeless quality. She uses the natural lighting whether inside or outside. She finds the candids that you
missed.
Allee is tech savvy. She will give you a finished product that you can share on social
media and order from. But she also understands and appreciates the value of something to hold
in your hands. Depending on exactly what you order, you will have the opportunity to have beautiful prints in a timeless box. She also provided us with a gorgeous book that beautifully tells the story of the wedding with the best photos already selected and a canvas of our brides that we displayed at the wedding. All my friends and family that see our wedding pictures comment the same....and that is...it’s the best they’ve ever seen.
So seriously, have less flowers, buy fewer candles, have a smaller cake...Allee J is the best money you will spend for your dream wedding. She made ours look even better than it was! Every. Time.
I have had the honor of working will Allee for my senior pictures as well as my bridals and wedding. Allee never ceases to amaze me with her talent and genuine care for her client...
s. She not only wants to get every photo you want, she also is able to capture the most precious parts that mean the most to you. Allee is professional, sincere, and incredible at what she does! I have not been disappointed with what I have received from her, and I can't count the praise I receive when people see my photos by Allee. I hope that I will be able to find another chance to use her again!
From the moment my daughter got engaged and we began planning her wedding, there was one detail that was an absolute must- AlleeJ Photography! The wedding date was not decided unti...
l we knew Alexandra could be there behind the lens capturing Victoria & Xavier’s big day. We had every confidence that all the time spent planning a beautiful venue and florals and special details would be flawlessly executed and captured, and then...Covid.
We are BEYOND GRATEFUL to have had Alexandra walk with us through multiple changes during this unexpected journey. I feel like we threw every curveball we could at her and EVERY time we were met with kindness and professionalism, empathy and encouragement for a broken-hearted couple just wanting to get married. When the guest list had to be cut to immediate family, businesses began shutting down and travel restrictions were being considered, the decision was made to move the ceremony date up two weeks and change the location to our home. We called Alexandra to let her know we understood if she could not be there for the ceremony and she assured us she was coming! BEYOND GRATEFUL!!
As always, Alexandra showed up with the most joyous attitude and encouraging words. I am convinced the beautiful photographs she captures come from her beautiful heart and her love for others. She can see the subtle details and emotions that could so easily be missed, but that tell the real story of the day so meaningfully and are captured to be relived and treasured for a lifetime. We loved working with Alexandra and highly recommend AlleeJ Photography!
I don’t have enough good words to use when it come to my experience working with AlleeJ! I was fortunate enough to have met her my senior year of high school when she did my senior...
portraits and I was instantly hooked. Not only is she an amazing photographer, but she is kind, encouraging, and uplifting! My husband hates taking pictures but after our engagements he kept talking about how much fun he had, it made us both even more exited for her to shoot our wedding. On top of all of this, she is a 2020 brides DREAM vendor! We had to cancel our big April wedding and opt for a in home ceremony and a fall reception. AlleeJ helped us figure it all out and made everything seem normal again, even if it was just for a day. I would 100% recommend AlleeJ to any and every person planning a wedding. You won’t find anyone who photographs better or who is such a joy to be around, she is the absolute BEST!
When I was planning my wedding, there were a few non-negotiable’s I had at the top of my list. The first was my photographer! Pictures are the biggest keepsake and a tangible memor...
y that you will hold onto from your wedding day. But, it’s about so much more than the photos themselves, but the person behind the camera. You know why the phrase “good vibes” is a thing? Because your vibe reflects your image!!! Alleej at her core is a vibrant ray of bubbly sunshine. Professionally, I know she stands out because of her unique approach working with those of us on the other side of the lens. Before each of my sessions, she asked what music I love and brought a speaker while working with me. It made me feel at peace, confident and just like two girls having fun! Truly, she blessed me with her art of photography and she does with all clients I’m just sure of it. If I didn’t have her as my photographer on the biggest day of my life, it would have absolutely NOT been the same. Her helpful packages will give you pricing options. I highly recommend getting a package because it’s basically a one stop shop for your bridals, engagement, wedding day pictures. Once all of your photos are ready, you have an easy to use link and all of your pictures are categorized into each event. On your wedding day she will organize pictures by the phases of the day (getting ready, first look, ceremony etc.). Her vision, warm spirit and radiant joy reflects with her clients and photography alike! I will be using this wonderful lady as my photographer FOREVER! I highly recommend using the same photographer to build a relationship and gain trust so your pictures will be as authentic as YOU are! 10/10 would recommend Alleej as your wedding photographer!
The absolute BEST photographer in the business! ALLEEJ Photography is able to capture what others can’t. She makes the best out of any situation and creates the most timeless, clea...
n, and beautiful pictures. Looking back at our wedding album you’d never know it rained 3 inches on our wedding day! An all around amazing person behind the camera as well. She is a true gem and I feel lucky that she captured our special day. Would recommend to any and everyone for engagements, bridals, and especially WEDDINGS!
Alexandra is the most thoughtful, organized, and sweet photographer that exists. She not only took beautiful pictures in a dust storm, but she was so great at making us feel comfor...
table (first look) and have fun. We were given a ton of pictures and even a box of prints which I still cherish 5 years later. She writes handwritten letters, she’s intentional, and I couldn’t recommend her more. I recommend her hands down for wedding pictures!
I have used Alexandra for over 10 years! She is an incredible photographer who has evolved beautifully and continues to stun me with her work!! Not only is she highly talented she ...
is WONDERFUL with children and has encouraged some of the best portraits of my boys. I cherish every picture she has taken from our wedding, maternity, newborn and family photo sessions!
I highly recommend AlleeJ!!
Working with Alexandra was an absolute DREAM! Picking a photographer for your wedding day is just about the most important decision you have to make, and she was the perfect match....
Her energy, demeanor, and laid-back attitude keeps the day so lighthearted and fun which helps show every person in your day's true sides. She also took our engagement photos as well as my bridal portraits. I have never seen so much feedback on photos in my LIFE! I have continued to receive compliments on all of these photos a year and a half later. They are timeless, and I know they will be special memories on the walls of our home forever. I know that I will be able to show my children and grandchildren our special day from start to finish, and the photos will be just as gorgeous then as they were the day she took them.
AlleeJ has captured all of our families BIG moments (engagement, wedding, babies and family pictures). You will not find a more caring and fun person behind the lens and on your sp...
ecial events.
The most important thing I can tell you is that I changed my wedding date so I could have ALLEEJ as our photographer. She did our engagement in Lubbock and coached us through every...
pose and it was so comfortable and easy, definitely not the stressful engagement photo session I was expecting. We then got married on my parent’s land in Fredericksburg, TX and she made the scenery pop in every way. I look back on that day with so many great memories and beautiful pictures that I will treasure for a lifetime.
AlleeJ really is the best ever! She has photographed many significant memories in my life with the most significant being my wedding last October. She has photographed graduation, ...
engagements, bridals, rehearsal dinner, and wedding and each time I am blown away by her work. She makes someone shy like me come out of their shell and feel beautiful. She captures each moment in a unique, fun, & creative way. She goes above and beyond to make you feel comfortable and captures each shot that you desire. She’s so easy to communicate with and I’m so thankful that AlleeJ has been able to capture so many of my life’s greatest memories. Can’t recommend her enough!
AlleeJ is the absolute BEST!! From engagements to bridals to our wedding she captured all our special moments! I love to look back on and display pictures from all of our events. T...
he quality of work she produces is suburb! I am forever grateful I made the decision to hire AlleeJ!
I could have not asked for anyone better to capture my special memories. AlleeJ shot my senior pictures, engagements, and my wedding. Every single time they turned out better than ...
I could imagine. Her style is timeless, bright, and I feel like she perfectly captures the feeling of joy with her work. She also makes a day that can feel hectic at times flow beautifully! Hire her!! You won’t regret it!

Before my wedding and after I have worked with a few different photographers. Nobody compares! Alexandra did our engagements, my bridal portraits and wedding. Not only ar...

oes she capture exquisite photos, she brings out the meaning in them and shares our story as a couple. Allee is such a kind person and she makes the whole process effortless.
ALLEEJ is the absolute BEST! She has taken photos for me from high school, to college, to getting proposed to and now my wedding. I got all of my wedding photos back within a few d...
ays and I hear it can normally take a month or longer. Not only are her photos gorgeous, but she is one of the sweetest people who really cares about capturing every beautiful moment for her clients. I would recommend her a million times over. Best photographer in West Texas by far!
People always say the photographer is the most important vendor when booking your wedding because it is the one thing you will be able to look back on and remember your special day...
-- and I completely agree and am SO THANKFUL I picked ALLEEJ to capture our wedding day. Not only does she have the best personality and the most serving heart, but her photography is AMAZING. I still swoon over the pictures she took and looking back, I would choose her every time! ALLEE did our engagements, my bridals and the wedding day. If you want high quality work and high quality service, Alexandra is your lady! In addition to her amazing photos, she goes above and beyond with her details and has so many amazing things included in her packages like a photo box of our pictures, a book, and canvas prints! She is worth every penny and more! Thank you Allee for such an amazing experience.
Alexandra was a joy to be around! She's a close friend of my brother and sister-in-law, but I hadn't met her until 2.5 hours before our ceremony. She is so talented and sweet and s...
o INCREDIBLY thoughtful! I don't know if all wedding photographers send their brides a little stress relief package before their weddings and a "just married" ornament at Christmas, but I do know that I felt so cared for! She is authentic and so much better than I imagined in a photographer!
I just recently got married in September and AlleeJ captured our special day perfectly! She took my bridal, engagement and wedding photos, and I couldn't be more happy with how all...
of them turned out! She is such a joy to work with, and happily traveled out of town for our big day! I would gladly recommend her to anyone!
