Allison Barrett Photography

run smoothly & stepping away with her for photos was like a perfect little break for me & my introvert husband. lol. She made the formal photos super fun & not at all awkward like some photoshoots can be. And the photos themselves??? Beyond gorgeous. She captured so many little details and beautiful candids of our party. She was also incredibly quick with her turnaround for the sneak peak she gave us, and we got the final photos within just a few weeks, which was so fast! I cannot recommend her enough!!

choosing Allison. She is so down to earth, and easy to talk to. We did an engagement shoot with her which was great to get to know each other so then the day of the wedding, my husband and I both felt so comfortable. She listened to our vision and went beyond our expectations. We got a sneak peek the day after our wedding and then even more within 4 days! We are so excited to see our full album but are completely blown away with the photographs we have seen so far. I promise you will not be disappointed if you book Allison for your wedding!!

vocated for the vision my brother and SIL had and was great at helping to organize not only the wedding party but all of the guests. I have worked with many vendors in assisting with my brother's wedding and planning my own for next April and none hold a match to Allison! If you are in the area, I highly HIGHLY recommend her.

ctively through the day. She honestly felt like an old friend and wedding guest! She knew exactly when we wanted a break from the crowd for photos, and when we needed to be with our guests. As someone who isn’t a fan of having their photo taken, her prompts were fun and easy and the few raw photos I was shown far surpassed what I could’ve imagined. We went in completely blind looking for a wedding photographed, and I could not have found someone better. I have not a single critique. Allison was everything we could’ve wanted and more in a photographer. To anyone considering—trust me, she’s the person you want photographing your wedding!

ecause I did not know anybody personally who had used her, but I loved her photos and read lots of great reviews from people online. I went ahead and booked her anyways and it was the best decision I made for our wedding! Learn from me - trust the random people you don't know online (like me!) saying that she is AMAZING!!! We did an engagement shoot and she was super accommodating with changing dates last minute - the weather wasn't looking good for our scheduled date and she knew how badly I wanted sunset photos, so she went out of her way and offered me a spot that opened up for her on a different day last minute! I talked with her beforehand about my vision for the photos and she really listened, making my vision come to life and even surpassing what I had hoped. We absolutely loved our photos and used them for both our save-the-dates and guest book (not to mention our Christmas cards that year too!). Leading up to the wedding, Allison was on top of everything, making my life much less stressful as the big day got closer. She scheduled a phone meeting where we made a detailed outline of the day and made sure she had all the shots I wanted listed so that we wouldn't miss any in the chaos of the day. Did I say chaos of the day? On my wedding day, Allison was a true professional and made my experience not chaotic at all! She arrived early and got right to work on detail shots and coming up with ideas for getting ready photos. I had a large bridal party with lots of big personalities and lots of family for photos, but Allison coordinated everyone seamlessly and blended right in with her laid back and enthusiastic personality. She always asked us before trying to pull us away for couple photos and made sure to grab us at the perfect time for golden hour/sunset photos - my favorite! Truly couldn't have asked for more from her that day. At the end of the wedding night, she even sent me TWO sneak peak edited photos which was so exciting to see. Allison sent the rest of our sneak peak photos very shortly after the wedding and there were TONS - way more than I was expecting. And then our full album was also delivered super quickly thereafter. I can't tell you how many times my husband and I "OMG-ed", laughed, cried, and literally gasped while scrolling through our album for the first time. Allison captured every moment perfectly with so many natural and candid photos (while also getting the more standard, classic, posed shots too). There are so many photos that capture so many little moments between my husband and me throughout the day that I truly will cherish forever. I could not have asked for more from a photographer or from my photos. Book Allison! You will not regret it - trust this online stranger :)

nterested in having engagement photos done. I contacted her several days before giving her a small window of time when we would be available. Not only was she able to fit us in, but we had our sneak peeks returned to us in a VERY short amount of time. Did I mention she was also wrangling our pup that we brought along during couples' photos without him? Fast forward to our wedding, she was equally as amazing. Once again, we received our sneak peeks back in a very short amount of time and are absolutely in love with our photos! On top of this, she makes you feel very relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera.

and was able to capture us better than I could have ever expected! When the weather forecast took a last minute turn and our wedding day plans needed to entirely change, Allison was on the phone with potential photo locations and updating our day-of timeline to accomodate the changes (while also fielding calls from an incredibly stressed bride...). We received a sneak peak with at least 50 of the 2,000 photos she took the Monday after and they're all spectacular!!! I actually cannot say enough about how great Allison was and how much we absolutely loved working with her. Do yourself a favor and reach out to her!

n time (early), and is super easy to talk to and work with. Our family and friends commented on how great she was during our wedding. As someone who had never had professional photos done before, she made the process extremely easy, walking us through what to expect and allowing us to add our own input and poses. Allison provided edited previews of both our engagement session and wedding photos within days of each, which included a significant portion of the photos and included many of the specific shots that we requested, so that we wouldn’t have to wait. We are so grateful to have found Allison and 100% recommend her!

ing a bit of a stressful morning with a tight timeline and weather that was not cooperating. She was prepared for everything (even had umbrellas), helped me with jewelry and ironing (an unexpected need), and was calm as can be. She and her second photographer were pleasant, courteous and unobtrusive with our entire wedding party and guests. They were so efficient that we were even able to make it to part of our cocktail reception. Allison captured some of the most endearing, funny and precious moments for us (many that we didn't witness during the busy-ness of the day). We love the final photos and can't recommend Allison Barrett enough!

ower arrangements! She did not miss a thing! Thank you Allison for capturing all on our special event!

ome hick ups with our timeline (nothing in her control) she helped us work through them and find a solution! Also we received our wedding photos in such a timely manner and we truly were impressed! You will not regret booking with Allison!

ey came back! We also keep getting compliments from our family saying how they also loved Allison and she made them feel so comfortable during pictures and I couldn’t agree more!

king for. It was a touch that helped us to connect with her personally while also seeing the caliber of her work. On the day of the wedding, Allison accompanied me and my bridal party for "getting ready pictures" while her colleague accompanied the men. Allison expertly got all of the shots I was hoping for of the pre-wedding excitement without feeling like she was "in the way" as some photographers tend to be. She blended in seamlessly as if she was just another member of the bridal party which made us all at ease and resulted in much more genuine and beautiful photos. She has a knack for catching beautiful shots in the moment without them being "set" as well as your "planned" shots. At the wedding and the reception, again Allison was the perfect blend of professionalism, fun, and again not in the way. To me there is nothing worse at a wedding then the photographers getting in the guests way of being able to see what's going on just to get the best shots. And I can assure you the quality and number of photos I received did not suffer in the slightest for them being aware of there positioning in relation to our guests. She also had great ideas of formal as well as fun poses for our wedding party pictures. Allison is reasonably priced for the quality of photography she provides. Trust me and set up a consultation with her. You won't be sorry as your wedding photos are something you will treasure forever. Make sure you are trusting them to the right photographer, and in my mind that is definitely Allison.

for everyone involved. Both ourselves and our families loved working with her at our wedding and having her be a huge part of our special day. The photos, TO DIE FOR. We truly can’t wait to hire her again for future events throughout our life time!

upcoming wedding! You won't regret it. One less thing to worry about for your beautiful day. 10/10

compliments from our guests at how professional Allison was throughout the day and they were very impressed with how she kept everyone on track with taking pictures. The end result was unbelievable and I couldn't have been happier with how our pictures came out in the end! 10/10 recommend!
