Allie Marion Photography / AMP Portrait Studio

joy. You can tell this team takes pride in their work and love what they do. They are warm, kind, patient, and made us feel at ease during every special moment. Which makes you love them even more! Thank you Love you guys!

nd beyond for us and our families needs! Helping me with not only capturing special moments, but guiding through the whole wedding process. I absolutely love AMP’s work! I am so thankful, I have these priceless memories captured so beautifully by her and her team.

xpect because I had never done anything like this before. Allie was encouraging and supportive the entire time and her whole demeanor eased my worries away! She was the perfect combination of directive and warm and made someone like me who was self-conscious and unsure feel so empowered and comfortable. I am so happy with how the photos turned out that I was overwhelmed with emotion because not only was this a gift for my husband, it ended up being a gift to myself as well in raising my self-confidence and feeling more comfortable in my own skin! Thank you Allie, I appreciate you!!! XOXO

and for our wedding day. On each occasion, they went above and beyond our expectations. Allie is extremely talented, has a wonderful personality and is able to make even the most awkward individual, feel at ease. Both our engagement pictures and wedding pictures are absolutely phenomenal. Not only is she excellent at capturing perfectly composed staged photos but also caught those spontaneous, goofy, love-filled moments that we look back on with such fondness. She basically just nails it. We are so glad that we have such gorgeous pictures to remember the most important day of our lives. Allie, Johnny & Christa understand how important a role they play in these milestones moments and you can genuinely feel that they love their job. There is no other photographer that I would have rather had capturing our wedding day!

possible. I always get compliments on the quality and authenticity of our photos, and I’m so proud to have them hanging in our home. They really were the perfect team for the perfect day.

m and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Allie, Christa and Nick are all nothing short of perfection and we were so lucky to have them! My husband and I are from the Pasadena area and let me tell you, the drive was worth it for us! Love them!!

ed about 5-6 photographers in person before choosing AMP and we are so happy we did. Our friends and family all commented on how easy going and professional our photographers were.

mfortable and captured all the details and aspects of our day perfectly, there is nothing i would change. We would HIGHLY recommend them to anyone❤️

gs about Allie is her personality. She is fun and makes you feel comfortable right away. She is also organized and responsive. We had a blast taking photos ( even my husband who isn't big on posed photos). Can't wait to choose photos to display in our home! Thanks Allie and Christa!

at I would not be able to find a photographer whose work fit the style I was looking for without breaking the bank. All of those worries and more completely dissipated when I sat down with Allie at my wedding venue. Besides being professional and highly experienced, she is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet and her enthusiasm for her work was easy to see. It was a total no-brainer for me to choose her to capture my wedding. Even though we only had two months, the best part about Allie is that from day one she was always proactive in communication and always super quick to respond (for a bride like me who is forgetful and was busy working long hours before my wedding, this was HUGE!). She is super involved in the process of planning your wedding and creating the timeline for family and friends which I absolutely LOVED! When the wedding day finally arrived, Allie and her team rocked! She was great at directing poses, while at the same time letting me and my groom be our quirky selves. One of my big requests from her and the team was golden hour sunset portraits with my groom— so she grabbed me and my new husband during the reception and whisked us away right at the perfect time for us to take romantic portraits and watch the sun make its full descent over the ocean. It is still one of my favorite memories of the day. Looking at my photos now, I almost can’t believe how lucky I am that I had Allie as our photographer. As a bride, you dream that the vendors you select are the best in the biz and that their passion for their craft shines through on one of the most important days of your life. AMP took my expectations and completely blew them out of the water. If you’re looking for a photographer with the “creative eye”— she HAS IT. Do yourself a favor and search no more. Allie is your GIRL!

lling to go to any location for our engagement photos. We love every single photo we received from her and we had the best experience. We can not wait for our wedding photos ♥

yone else for future pictures!!! I sent her a could ideas for our engagement pictures. And she had several great ideas on the day of the shoot that I didn't even think of. She was ON TIME and that's a big thing for me since I also run my own business and I know that is very important. Allie was great with my 3 year old son who was a monster the day of the shoot. She also very good with keeping in touch with you coming up to the shoot and was so sweet calming my nerves cause it was raining the morning of our shoot. She payed attention to all my small and big details from signs I had made for the shoot, to including my horse in several moments!!! The end results were amazing and I can't choose a favorite. And she got final gallery to us within 2 weeks not months like several other photographers have done to me!!! You won't be disappointed!!!!

of that they are absolutely breathtaking. She made my fiancé and I feel so comfortable and the experience so fun! I can't wait till our wedding and I am so happy Allie is going to be there to make the day that much better!!

she is experienced, and very professional. And the best part, very quick to respond (which for me as a bride is HUGE). After meeting Allie in person for our engagement shoot I knew we've made the right decision. We had a blast at our engagement session. I never thought taking pictures would be so fun. She was great at directing us in poses, and also letting us do our thing. I can't wait for our wedding day pictures now! She is very involved in the process of planning your wedding, sharing tips and tricks. And also sets up a wedding day timeline for family and friends which I love! One less thing. I have to do. I would HIGHLY recommend Allie to anyone I know needing a photographer. She is great at what she does. -Colleen

ea for a romantic/fun shoot in the snow, and she didn't even hesitate to agree! Sure we all had a few slips and falls in the snow, but that did not stop her cheerful spirit or distract her from taking some BEAUTIFUL photos that we will cherish forever. Her creative eye, and consistent eagerness to learn and grow as a photographer has always been something I have admired about her work. I will continue to use her for all occasions, and will most definitely continue to refer her to anyone in need of portraits!

search on our venue well beforehand and has such an artistic eye for photography. She was able to find really unique and gorgeous background spots unlike any I had seen from any other photographers. Our photos turned out amazing! While I may be slightly biased knowing Allie on a personal level, she has such a friendly and warm personality which was so important for the entire wedding party to feel at ease while being photographed. Being in front of the camera can be a bit awkward, so it's really important that you feel comfortable with your photographer. And I can't imagine anyone feeling uncomfortable with Allie! She is also very professional and incredibly organized. My cousin (who is an event planner) had helped me do our day of timeline, but me being the overwhelmed bride planning a wedding from across the coast, I forgot about Allie's planning paperwork and recommended timeline. Needless to say my cousin and I hadn't allotted enough time and I went into a serious panic. Allie came to our rescue, had no problem jumping on a conference call with us and helping us smooth it all out so we could get all the important shots. Do yourself a favor and book her already :)

e captured my dream day just the way I wanted and thanks to her I will have gorgeous pictures for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Allie!

shoot she made me feel so special and comfortable it was so much fun! Not to mention the pictures turned out amazing! From weddings , families , love, babies & dogies she can capture it all with such ease! We love you Allie!

otos she takes are a true work of art. I have high expectations due to working in event production, but she surpasses them. She really cares about her clients and is very organized sending over timelines and shot lists to ensure a smooth day. She did my engagement photos and I look forward to her doing my wedding in Bali next month. I highly recommend Allie!

wedding photos went above and beyond anything I could have ever expected. I would have been happy with anything but Allie and her sidekick Dani made us feel like we were models on a photo shoot. We took photos at a total of four (very close) locations the day of our wedding and everything flowed so easily. Both Allie and Dani's creative eyes made for a perfect duo and we couldn't be happier. For the price of her wedding packages you receive so much more than many of the other local photographers offer (promise me I shopped around a ton). If you have any reservations you need to at least look at her website or Instagram (definitely her Instagram) because I promise you will not be sorry!

id and didn't want my wedding pictures to look like. My now husband is one of the least photogenic people so I met with 4 other Photograghers before deciding on going with Allie because I needed a photographer he'd feel comfortable around and a photographer who could draw his personality out without it being too obvious or awkward. Allie's vibrant personality is what ultimately won me over because as soon as I met her we instantly clicked and knew she'd be great at photographing my then fiancé. Her work is amazing! She captured sooooo many moments that I didn't even knew where happening on our big day and she was such a blast to work with! You will not be disappointed with Allie!

ppoint. As soon as you set up a meeting she makes the entire process a breeze. Not to mention she makes engagement photos comfortable and not awkward at all. I can't wait to see the amazing shots she will get at our wedding (And the boudoir shoot) she brings so much joy to the stressful process of wedding planning!!!

ed to plan your wedding... Allie was one of the first vendors that welcomed me to her booth - I remembered her because not only were the samples of her work amazing, she also was very personable. Lucky for me, my fiancé and I were the winners of her contest, so we were able to do our engagement session with her. I honestly could not have been happier with how it went and how our photos turned out! From start to finish, Allie was excellent at communicating with me about what to expect and how to plan and prep for our session, so when it came time to actually have our photos taken, I knew we were in good hands. Allie is based in Temecula, but she came with us to San Diego to have our photos taken at various spots on our college campus. Considering that Allie had never taken photos there before and had just met us, we were impressed by what she was able to capture with her camera. She made us so comfortable that our personalities really shined through the photos, and she was able to encapsulate all the special places on campus that meant something to us. I love that Allie was able to capture candid moments between my fiancé and I, and that she wasn't afraid to try different things to add an artistic edge to her photos. I'm excited that we decided to book Allie as our wedding photographer for our big day next January - she's fun, puts you at ease if you're a little camera-shy, she's open to your ideas, and her photos are beautiful! My fiancé and I cannot wait to work with her again.

r share them with others, it brings back amazing memories. She does a wonderful job as a photographer. She did capture our moments. So much so that one of our wedding pictures is featured in San Diego Style Weddings! I am truly fortunate to have used her for our wedding. I can't wait to use her again for family photos!!

amily portraits with our new addition! We would never use another photographer again! Her quality of work is amazing and she always goes above and beyond to deliver more than me and my husband could ever ask for. She even sent us this beautiful little thank you gift box with macaroons as an added touch! I would strongly recommend Allie to anyone in need of a photographer for any special event. She captures memories that will last a lifetime and her talent and quality are worth every penny!

oved all of her ideas, she really made the pictures and the mood flow. I would highly recommend her! Allie also did my boudoir for my gift to my husband, she made me feel so comfortable, she turns on music and we had such a blast shooting! Allie also did our wedding and she did an amazing job capturing our special day! I would not have wanted or trusted anyone else! Allie asked what ideas I had before the wedding and she helped me stay organized with a timeline to ensure that there was plenty of time to get the pictures I wanted and some that she knew would be amazing. Allie really made our wedding perfect, I could not of asked for a nicer, more professional, and fun person to shoot our day! ALLIE IS YOUR GIRL!

el right at home.

Allie coached us the whole way through and made it so fun! She recently sent us a sneak peek photo of our shoot, and we are blown away. If it were possible to retract our contract with our current wedding photographer... we absolutely would so that we could book with Allie. I know that we will definitely book with Allie again in the future. Thank you again!! :)

work before the ceremony so she had a great timeline laid out and covered all the things we wanted pictures. She was fun and the whole group had a great time working with her. We got a sneak peek of the videos this week and absolutely love the work she did. I highly recommend Allie for wedding photography! She caught all the right moments and never made anyone crazy with posing!!

he offers metal pictures which came out great and hopefully will hold up for a lifetime. Thanks for a memorable day!

feel like I belonged in a magazine - something every girl dreams but rarely does. I never thought i could feel that good about myself. That is a gift in itself. i highly recommend her for portraits. For your groom, or for yourself! She is pretty creative and down for just about any location. I did mine in Joshua Tree.
