I originally found Allison and her Associates when I was a Maid of Honor for my best friend, Samantha’s, wedding. I tagged along to the engagement session to watch the dog while she was not in the photos and I felt like I knew Allison, instantl...y. We thought we must have known each other from before, but we had never met. She has an infectious personality; she is so friendly and makes you feel comfortable. During Samantha’s bridal portraits I met Aubrey, Allison’s second shooter, and felt the same instant connection. Sweet and bubbly and made the process more fun and less staged than a photoshoot. After my best friend’s wedding, we all stayed in contact through Instagram and would message and check-in occasionally.
THE VERY FIRST person I messaged to share the news of my engagement (after my family and close friends) was Allison. I knew that I had to have her team as part of my special day. The light and airy style of her photos and the high-end feel of the portraits were exactly what I have always dreamed of. I had 6 months from the day we got engaged to plan my wedding and we were on a very tight budget. The full package was more than we could spend, but Allison has associates that work with her, and that package was more in our price range. It broke my heart to not have Allison, but I requested Aubrey and she was available!!! After not seeing each other in person for almost 2 years, it was like no time had passed and the sweet and bubbly girl was cheering me and my fiancé on as we took our engagement pictures.
My fiancé was not so comfortable with taking posed photos but you would never had known from the images. Aubrey directs you and guides you in poses and where and how to stand. She finds the best locations for the best backdrops and even jumped into the river to take some playful water shots of us.
The day of the wedding, it was so special to have Aubrey there (and Allison in spirit!) it was more than a vendor working for you, it was having another friend to share in the day with. Aubrey was calm and excited and helped me breathe through my nerves as we were about to do the “first look”. Our second shooter was Becca and I could not have asked for someone more sweet, focused, and organized. She kept us on track with the timeline and when it was family photo time, she had a list of shots and made sure we got all of the photos that we had wanted. At the end of the night, I was genuinely sad to see them leave. I am so grateful to them for creating such an amazing experience for me and my husband.
We received our sneak peeks a few weeks after the wedding (our wedding was December 17, smack in the center of all the major holidays), I could not believe the images that I saw. They were beautiful, light and airy, everything that I had been seeing and asking for, but these were our photos, not just inspiration photos. This was everything I could ever dream of for my wedding photos. When the whole gallery came in (and holy moly almost 1,000 photos!) and we sat down to look through them, my husband and I were re-living our dream day all over again. All of the sweet attention to details that we want to remember forever, the embraces of family members that mean so much to us, the photos of our sheer excitement at being pronounced Mr. & Mrs. These photos are so beautifully done and something we will cherish for a lifetime.
