About this vendor
As a professional photographer for more 10 years, I love creating photographs that make me feel something: laughter, joy, compassion, love. I expect my viewers to feel connected to the images in some way. I want you to look back on your engagement, bridals and wedding day photographs and be brought back to the emotions of those moments.
I have photographed nearly 400 weddings and simply love the honor of being there to be a witness to the love you and your fiancé share and the moments full of life with your family and your best friends. I love destination weddings and have traveled all over the world. There's nothing I love more than a little adventure!
I look forward to hearing about your love for one another and the plans for your wedding day!

Allison did an absolute phenomenal job taking photos of our wedding! Allison worked with us through all of our COVID changes and came all the way to Las Vegas for our special day. What makes Allison stand out is that she puts together a personalized wedding album for each couple. The album was high quality and came printed on thick pages. All of our friends and family were in LOVE with the album she made us. Allison also did an amazing job doing our engagement photo shoot. We both felt so comfortable in front of the camera. We can't wait to hire Allison for our maternity photos in the future! Allison is very sweet, kind and honest about everything. If you are looking for a talented photographer, look no more. Allison Davis is your girl. Thank you for your hard work and creative eye Allison!
Allison is an exceptional photographer with a playful sense of humor that instantly relaxes those who are in her presence. She recently made the leap from Texas to San Diego, bringing her talent and heart for service with her.
Allison and I worked together on a wedding focused editorial project last May. I was thrilled when I received her timely online viewing gallery from our work together - everything was photographed beautifully and with an artistic and timeless point of view.
Not all photographers excel in photographing in an indoor environment. Allison's artistry transcends any setting - at the beach, in a ballroom, in a garden, you name it, she will deliver beautifully. Allison has the rare ability of capturing editorial shots and the candid, in-between moments in both wedding photos and more intimate portrait sessions.
Allison's personality matches her talent behind the lens. She made me feel very comfortable in front of the camera. She gently instructed me of how to position my hands, lightly combed through my hair, and made me feel beautiful when she took headshots for me.
I recommend Allison to my clients and am always excited to see her name on my client's vendor list.
Allison was amazing!! We love our pictures so much we still can’t decide which one we want to make into a canvas! She was so helpful after the wedding with helping us figure out what size to do for a canvas and helping us find a company that would do our thank you cards/ wedding announcements with the amazing pictures she took!
Since we decided to have a really small intimate ceremony with friends and family and we both hate being in photos, we almost didn’t hire a professional photographer, but I’m so glad we did! Allison not only captured our day beautifully, but also coached us through our awkwardness and made that aspect of the wedding day we were dreading into an enjoyable experience of her just following us around as we were being goofy and ourselves. From an easy booking and planning process to super quick turnaround of images, we were overall very happy with Allison’s work and you can tell she truly loves what she does and pours everything into her business. She is worth way more than she charges and her years of experience in wedding photography shows. She’s also super fun to be around and her loving and easy going personality fit in so well with our friends and family. THANK YOU Allison!
We were so blessed to have met Allison when we were planning our wedding. She is so talented, sweet and did such a fantastic job capturing both our engagement and wedding day photos. She made us feel so special during the entire planning process. While planning with her you could easily see that she has many years of professional experience under her belt. This took a ton of stress off of us as we juggled all the other aspects of wedding planning. She made a fantastic album for us that was printed and presented so nicely. We definitely recommend Allison as she is a very talented photographer but more importantly because she is an amazing person! You will not be disappointed.
Allison was such a key vendor throughout our entire wedding journey, from helping us feel comfortable on our engagement shoot to capturing every precious moment of our wedding and providing us with an amazing photo album in such a timely manner. Allison is professional and puts a lot of heart into everything she does. She is warm, kind, friendly, calm, and just overall great at what she does. You can see her love of photography and the passion for capturing special moments in all the photos she takes. Not only is she a great photographer, she is an awesome person! My husband and I are so grateful for Allison. If you want the best, she’s it!
Allison fits all the criteria every bride looks for in their wedding photographer. She is extremely professional with excellent and timely communication. She is willing to work with you to figure out a package that matches exactly what you are looking for. She fits in with everyone like she is just another friend at the party. She truly gets to know your love story and how to make it come alive in her work. She is one excellent photographer and I feel so so lucky she was the one to capture my big day. Somehow she is everywhere at once and doesn’t miss a beat. She truly captured all the moments that mattered and I’m obsessed with all of our photos. And if you are like my husband and I that modeling doesn’t run in your genes, she will help you get the funny, romantic and candidate moments you want to cherish for life. Not to mention she was extremely quick to turn our photos around. I cannot recommend Allison Davis Photography enough!! Thank you Allison for everything. San Diego is so lucky to have you!!
Allison Davis made us feel so special and natural in front of the camera! She was personable, encouraging, and fun to have at the biggest event of our life. And the days leading up to it! We are so thankful for her. We absolutely love our wedding pictures. They are gorgeous. She did a beautiful job capturing the day and our personalities!
Allison was the photographer at my best friend’s wedding and she exceeded all expectations - Choosing a photographer is no small task but with Allison, you know you’re in good hands from the second you meet her! Aside from being very talented at what she does, she is so personable and professional, and most importantly was able to make everyone around her feel comfortable. The pictures were delivered quickly and they turned out AMAZING! The emotions of the day were perfectly reflected in her pictures and she was able to capture every special moment of their big day. Would absolutely recommend!
Allison just recently photographed one of my friends weddings and her pictures came out amazing!!! They are full of color and personality. Allison magically floated around the wedding casually getting shots of the bride/groom and guests without interfering with the moments to stage a picture and holy moly the result is gold! The pictures show the bride and grooms personality to a t. She was also so pleasant to converse with which is a definite plus!
Allison was the photographer at my best friend surprised wedding a couple weekends ago and she was absolutely wonderful! The wedding was small and intimate but she didn’t feel like an outside to the close group of friends and family. She captured all the perfect moments and made sure to coordinate all the group and individual photos with everyone there. We received the edits yesterday and they are stunning! She really did capture them and their day in the perfect way.
Allison is the BEST OF THE BEST – and quite honestly I think she could charge a lot more for her services! Her work rivals very expensive photographers – but luckily Allison is not uptight or arrogant like most expensive photographers can be LOL. The quality and quantity of photos you’ll receive from Allison will leave you speechless – you won’t know where to start when picking your favorites because you’ll have more to pick from than you thought, and 90% of your photos will be your favorite. Not only that - she makes things pleasant, seamless, and easy throughout the entire process working with her. Allison is not only a very talented photographer, but also a wonderful human – you will spend a lot of time with your photographer on your wedding day, and throughout your engagement photos, bridal shots, etc – so be sure you enjoy them as a person! I think that’s why my husband and I felt so at ease in front of the camera - because she doesn’t make it weird, and we quickly felt like she was a dear friend! She is poised, upbeat, conversational, and efficient at capturing breathtaking shots. Best of all, she makes you feel like there isn’t a camera there, and gives you direction on where to stand or where to look, or new locations to venture off to. I couldn’t believe how many photos we received that were all so different, unique and perfect. Our guests loved her too; she was friendly and would blend right in sneakily capturing shots of special moments. She is punctual and available to connect – via phone, email, text and even IN PERSON! Just ask her to meet you in person if you are on the fence – you will love connecting with her and you’ll see just how outstanding she is, and you will want to snag her ASAP before someone else does!
Allison was such a warm person, easy to talk to and so friendly! She knows just the right moments to capture and what to pose for and how. She made sure the bride and groom got photos with everyone they wanted. She captured the cutest candid moments for my best friends wedding and I am already planning on using her for mine in the future!
Allison Davis is a professional and a delight to have around any event. She blends in so seamlessly and delivers the most candid and beautiful photos. She makes everyone feel comfortable and knows exactly what to do to help create life long memories within these photos. I was astonished at how nice her photos turned out and will be framing them all around my house! Thank you!!!!
I met Allison at a bridal show and, after only a short conversation, I knew she was the one I wanted to capture my wedding day. After looking at her work and hearing her vision of capturing the feelings of the event, not just the staged photos, I knew she had what I was looking for. Allison is not only a professional in her business, but a great person all around. She won't just take your pictures, she'll become your friend.
I hired Allison to shoot our rehearsal/welcome party and she completely exceeded any and all expectations. I would have hired her to shoot my wedding if A. I hadn’t already hired a wedding photographer and B. If I could afford two wedding photographers ;). She went above and beyond the call of duty and we ended up with so many photos that we will cherish forever! She’s a true artist and a joy to work with.
Allison Davis was kind, professional, and most importantly made us feel comfortable throughout our whole portrait session. Our photographs reflected that and we couldn't be happier with them! Allison is an excellent communicator and was able to deliver the photos within a few days. Anyone who is looking for a genuine and fun photography experience should reach out to Allison Davis!
Allison was the photographer for my best friend’s wedding & I fell in love with her talent then. Fast forward 7 years later, I knew Allison was the photographer I wanted to capture our special day. Besides being extremely talented at what she does, Allison is super personable & easy going. I was so nervous about engagement photos & bridal photos & those shots where you aren’t just looking at the camera & smiling - Allison calmed my nerves about 2 minutes in. She makes you feel comfortable around her. I was so excited to see our wedding day photos because honestly it’s true what they say, the night is kind of a blur. They did not disappoint & she captured all of those special moments where you forget you are being photographed, perfectly. I got to re-live the night & be emotional without having to worry about ruining my makeup. Thank you Allison for capturing the perfect day I have always dreamed of. I know you be back in Dallas from time to time, but San Diego is sure lucky to gain such an amazing photographer!
This goes without saying, but Allison is a beautiful ray of sunshine who makes it easy to work with! I recently had Allison take gorgeous portraits for my small business and I couldn't be happier. During the planning process, she was receptive to my ideas and 100% captured moments with the lighting, angles, ambiance, etc..that I wanted! She did a beautiful job of creating the look that I wanted, all the while capturing the details which were most important to me. Thank you Allison, for being such a joy to work with! I'd highly recommend you as a photographer outside of weddings as well; you are wonderful!
Just AMAZING! As a couple and individuals, we both feel uncomfortable in front of a camera. We don't take many photos because of that reason, but if there is one person who makes you feel like you look like a million dollars and that the lighting just makes you "glow", yeah that's Allison. She is not only a phenomenal photographer, but she is also a wonderful person. She takes time to get to know you as a couple and what you personality is like. Having a photographer that is beyond positive, kind and over the most genuine person I have met just makes the planning of your wedding so easy. She will gladly take any photos that you specifically want, but Allison has the eye for amazing photos that you will never get tired of looking at. Can't wait to use her in the future for family portraits or just a fun couple session.
Allison is so talented and takes beautiful pictures. She captures unique moments and really knows how to take pictures that invoke the emotion that was going on. I would definitely recommend her and think she is the best photographer in Dallas. Her pictures have great color and she is so easy to work with. She knows poses that make you look great and helps you feel at ease
Not only can you trust that Allison Davis will capture all the special moments you are looking for, but you can depend on her to capture the ones you didn’t know needed to be captured. Those looks that say love. Those stances that say professionalism. Those smiles that say carefree. You do it, the magic behind her lenses captures it. Simple as that. She’s extremely punctual, gives amazingly helpful and succinct direction in her shoots, and joins her style to yours every time. Done this before? Great! Allison’s your biggest cheerleader. Never done this before? Even better! Allison’s your greatest teacher. I needed professional photos taken for my career and I couldn’t be more pleased and in awe of what she was able to capture in such a short session. I don’t consider myself to be a natural behind the camera, so Allison’s comforting guidance was a saving grace for me. It’s a shame they only let me rate on a 5 star scale!!! I cannot wait to see what she’s able to document for you in your life!
Allison Davis went above and beyond to capture our incredible wedding. Allison had an uncanny ability to make everything go smoothly and seamlessly. I was impressed that when it was time for family pictures somehow she just knew everyone. Allison was also ready to make last minute tweaks here and there to make our day even better. Simply put, Allison is a great person, great photographer, and her pictures truly captured the significance, excitement, and love on our wedding day. Thank You for doing such an incredible job for my bride and me. We made the right choice by picking you as our wedding photographer. Thanks again.
Allison was the first vendor I booked because of how highly she was recommended by friends who had used her previously and friends who wished they had. Her body of work and beautiful pictures speak for themselves as she evokes looks, feeling and emotion that I didn’t know we had in us! Allison is confident, comfortable, easygoing and charming and immediately put me at ease for my bridals as well as my groom, our families and our giant bridal party for the wedding and reception. Bonus: she has killer dance moves and celebrated our joy right alongside us! She was hands down our favorite to work with!
She was nice and on time and did a great job at our wedding. The pictures were great!
Allison was an absolute delight to work with!!! She made the whole process as easy as she possibly could and didn't even get upset when my deposit check got lost in the mail. During my bridal portraits, I expressed concern about feeling uncomfortable being in the spotlight (I'm a wall flower for sure) and Allison coached me through the session and kept me laughing the whole time. She did the same thing for me, my husband, and our families during the wedding. She was always punctual, polite, and poised (which is impressive considering it was 106 degrees the day of my wedding). We did have one communication lapse after the wedding, but it was minor and partially my fault. Truly, I would choose Allison 10 times out of 10 to be my wedding photographer. She is a treasure and her photographs . . . well, they're gold!!!
Allison was nothing short of AMAZING for my husband’s and my nuptials last spring. We spent 6 months working with Allison, starting with our engagements, mixed in a bridal session and ended with the wedding in March. She was everything we wanted and needed a photographer to be and so much more! Every snap captured all the joy and good times we had during our engagement and wedding. Her photos are phenomenal. We don’t have a single regret about skipping the videographer; Allison got it all. Even 6 months layer, I’m still scrolling through her photos and reliving the moments. We were so impressed that my sister is also using her for her wedding next summer. 5 stars don’t do her justice!
Allison Davis does an incredible job capturing candid moments! I feel like I’m reliving all my favorite wedding memories every time I look through our pictures.
We talked about our vision for our wedding over coffee beforehand, and she absolutely nailed it on our wedding day.
Her wedding photography experience is extensive, and she’s worth every penny.
Me and my wife are so glad that we used Allison the pictures turned out to be fantastic!!! I am not photogenic at all but Allison brought the best out in me! I especially liked that Allison knew what shots she wanted to get and lined everyone up how they needed to be.
Allison has shot me for several years now. She is warm, engaging, great at making connections, and has such a detail-oriented personality. I am awkward in front of the camera by myself and she does a good job of loosening me up and making me look and feel like a rockstar. She even has caught several of my "serious faces" where I don't look angry at the world. I highly recommend her for any wedding or event you need photographed. You will absolutely love her almost as much as your amazing photos.
Allison and her team were truly amazing for our engagement photos and wedding. Our first interaction with Allison was in the Fall before our wedding where she took our engagement photos. She was great; she already had location suggestions and mapped out the day. My wife Victoria and I both work full time jobs so she also worked around our schedule. The engagement photos turned out great. On the wedding day Allison coordinated with her partner to make sure my wife and I did not see each other before the ceremony. They captured the moments that will last a lifetime. Again I cannot say how much we appreciate great her work!
Allison is so fun and easy to work with!!!
Allison is AMAZING at what she does! All of the pictures we received were beyond our expectations. She caught all the moments...from getting a dog to look at the camera to popping champagne on the bus and it exploding!! Thank you so much for capturing all of these memories that will last us a lifetime!
I connected with Allison on Facebook about mini sessions she was doing in San Diego. My fiancé and I met her there to do engagement photos. The session was a blast, she was so sweet and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We explored together and got some amazing shots!
I don't even know where to begin! Allison Davis is AMAZING!!! I was in the process of planning a destination wedding in Vero Beach, Florida, when I met Allison in a workout class. We started chatting and she told me she's a photographer and encouraged me to check out her webpage and blog. When I got home that night, I immediately pulled up her page and was just blown away! She was much better than any of the photographers I was looking at in Florida. I quickly sent her an email to see if she would be willing to travel and shoot my destination wedding. Luckily she was excited to travel and shoot my beach wedding so I quickly booked her for my engagement shoot and wedding! Allison is not only an amazing photographer, but she is super sweet and fun to be around! My husband and I both felt fairly uncomfortable about having to force our emotions for photos, but Allison made us feel so relaxed and comfortable. For our wedding, she kept everyone organized and on time with all the photos we requested and was incredibly helpful with making everything go so smoothly--and stress-free for me! Allison truly is a master photographer and I promise that you will not be disappointed if you book her!!!
Allison is the absolute best! Not only is her work beautiful and authentic, but she is also such a fun and kind person to work with. My husband and I loved having her photograph our engagement and wedding. I'm a rather shy person and Allison made me feel so comfortable taking photos and we had so much fun! She also helped a ton at my wedding when the planning got a little chaotic. I highly recommend Allison to all brides!
I am so grateful to have had Allison as our wedding photographer last month. We received our photos back from the wedding and they were absolutely stunning! Finding a photographer was definitely one of the most important decision I made for my wedding, and I definitely made the right one! She made me and my sometimes awkward husband feel so comfortable taking our engagements and wedding day photos. And as a bonus, she is AWESOME as a person. Highly recommend Allison!
When it comes to weddings the best advice, I have ever been given is book the best photographer you can find. When we started looking around for our photographer, we came across Allison on the internet and loved her work. We completely trusted Allison with this important day and we were not disappointed. The photos are amazing. Her patience and understanding made our day less stressful and I could fully enjoy everything knowing that Allison was capturing special moments. She also gave excellent advice during the reception to help keep everyone engaged. Allison is amazing and one of the best choices I made for the wedding.
I discovered Allison's beautiful website years before our big day, and was thrilled when she was available to photograph our July wedding. She was an absolute joy to work with! Allison is incredibly talented with her creative eye to detail. She captured ALL the little moments of our special day, and made sure to take the poses that I mentioned beforehand. Our photos turned out even more gorgeous than we could have imagined! Her energy and enthusiasm makes her a blessing to have around. As a bride, I highly recommend Allison Davis Photography!
Allison was the best photographer I could have asked for! She did an outstanding job capturing moments of our wedding with her amazing talent. I can have a rather shy introverted type of personality but her energy made it so easy to be comfortable infront of the camera. She captured all the details I was specific about and so many more that I didn't know I would treasure. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer. She does a great job getting a feel for your vision and can make suggestions that lead to fabulous results. She is a photographer you can trust which is so important! I would definitely contact her again for any of my photography needs.
My husband and I LOVED working with Allison! We selected her for our wedding after reading all of her great reviews and we were not let down! Ever since the first day we contacted her, she has been extremely professional and easy to work with. Not only did we love her but we have heard nothing but great comments from our family and friends. She delivered our photos within a very short time frame and went above and beyond our expectations. She is the absolute BEST!! We highly recommend Allison Davis Photography for your photography needs!! THANK YOU SO MUCH ALLISON!!!!
Allison is an incredibly talented photographer! There was never an awkward moment as she posed us for the portraits before and after the ceremony. In fact, she kept everything fun, simple and efficient! She truly captured every amazing moment of our big day and then some.
Of course Allison is more than just an exceptional photographer. She is also a remarkable and honest person. We were beyond blessed to work with her and I would recommend Allison for any wedding without reservations!
Allison is the best! We loved working with her for our engagement, bridal and wedding photos! She helped with poses, facial expressions, where to put your hand, turn your chin this way etc! Her energy is contagious and made us feel so comfortable! Her ideas and creativity exceeded our expectations. I highly recommend her!!!!
Allison Davis is wonderful to have as a photographer for so many reasons besides just the beautiful pictures you'll receive. The guests loved her! She not only captured fun and natural moments, but she was a joy to have around. The groomsmen loved that she was efficient and the bridesmaids enjoyed the calmness she exuded. To know the details were all covered and the pictures weren't a worry at all was so comforting as the bride as well. We loved all of our shots so much & are so glad to have all these memories. To top it all off she writes such sweet things that feel special and individual on her blog & sends a special follow up surprise that just makes you smile. I couldn't have asked for more & was beyond words pleased. We used her for engagements too & I am overjoyed with all the photos we will get to enjoy for years to come.
We are so happy with our choice to use Allison as our photographer. She was so easy to work with and very flexible. She made us feel so comfortable and we loved our photos so much! She really works to get your photos back to you fast, we had ours before we were even back from our honeymoon! Her attention to detail was incredible. A few days before our wedding she texted me to let me know that one of the highways leading to our venue would be closed down and we needed to allot extra time to get there. She also bumped up her arrival time to help compensate. It was the little things she did that just made me feel so much more relaxed on our big day!
All the rave reviews for Allison are on here for a reason: She is a wonderfully talented photographer and a lady with a heart of gold. As someone who gets a little awkward in front of the camera (what do I do with my hands?!??), Allison blew me away with her ability to set me and my fiance at ease with her bubbly personality, skillfully pose us, and capture relaxed and natural moments. For all our sessions so far, it has felt more like we have just been hanging out with a good friend, not doing a photoshoot. We were able to see our pictures in record time, and we were amazed at how good she made us look! Family and friends have not stopped raving about our pictures by her! She's not only talented, but also just a genuine, down-to-earth person who is wonderful to work with. I would absolutely recommend her!
We could not be more ecstatic with the photos Allison took over the course of engagements, bridals and day-of sessions . She is extremely talented, fun and professional.
My videographer team couldn't stop talking about how impressed they were with her skills throughout the entire wedding day -- it made my groom and I feel so good, and we couldn't wait to get the link to our online gallery.
I'll never forget my wedding day, my guests and all of the details because of her work.
Allison Davis is absolutely AMAZING!!! I would recommend her to everyone I know!! I used her for engagement pictures, bridals and the wedding and I am completely in LOVE with them all. She was great to work with and was available to answer any questions that I had. One of my cousins had used her and only had great things to say about her as well. I am so glad that I chose Allison for my BIG DAY!!
Look no further for you photographer because Allison Davis is the best out there! Not only is she extremely fun and personable, but she is such a professional and makes you feel so comfortable! I saw the incredible job that Allison did for my girlfriend and HAD to have her as my photographer. She gets all the right photos and is not shy to tell you or the guests what to do to make the picture look perfect! I told Allison that on my day, please tell me to move my arm if it is not flattering (I think we all know what I'm talking about). She makes you look amazing and I just could not have asked for a more amazing photographer and I can say without a doubt that you will happy that you choose Allison!
What a fantastic experience! Allison is so incredibly professional, witty and talented. She knew exactly how to coach us to get the best photos possible, yet we were ourselves. SHE GOT OUR PHOTOS BACK TO US IN A WEEK.. Unheard of!! Just amazing!
