Allison is hands down the best! My husband and I did not consider ourselves to be particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but after working with Allison for both our engag...
ement and wedding photos -- we were simply blown away! Allison and her husband Nikita are everything you want in your wedding day team -- they do a great job posing you (while also keeping plenty of room for candids and natural moments), keeping the day moving (especially with wrangling a very very long family shot list with multiple small children) and also reading the energy of the room and giving breaks and hype ups as needed. Our wedding day gallery makes me tear up every time I open it, and I couldn't be more grateful to Allison for making it all come together!

Booking Allison Lauryn Photography for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made. Allison was so easy to work with and extremely accommodating. We had looked into so many p...
hotographers, and no one was perfect for us as Allison. We were able to work together to create a package that truly fit all of our needs (hours, amount of photos, budget, style). Our photographer was Corinna and she was wonderful! Corinna captured beautiful photos, and Allison edited them so we got the style we booked her for :) We really could not be happier - we loved the whole process and are obsessed with the end result. We cannot recommend Allison Lauryn Photography enough!

weddings where posed photos take hours, but Allison was so efficient and got every shot we wanted in a short amount of time without feeling rushed. The candid photos from the reception are amazing; seeing all the interactions of our guests was such a gift since the day itself was a whirlwind for us. She even accommodated a last-minute request just a week before the wedding to add her photo booth option, which was a huge hit with everyone! Allison communicated clearly, laid out a timeline for photo delivery, and delivered exactly as promised. We couldn’t be happier and highly recommend Allison Lauryn Photography to anyone looking for a talented and reliable photographer

efficient manner. Both went above and beyond to make sure we got all the shots we wanted, gave us helpful suggestions throughout the process, and put us at ease when it came to not only photos but also anything wedding-related. Our prep calls in the months/weeks prior went a long way towards ironing out every detail and led to smooth transitions when taking pictures with various friends and family, while saving time, the day of the ceremony. We're so grateful that we could lean on their experience with the venue and assist us with bringing on additional vendors like Alfred, who provided excellent videography to supplement everything else. Thank you all for your hard work (which you made look easy), all the shared smiles, and a wonderful experience overall!

Beyond her talent, she is an absolute joy to be around—professional, kind, and so easy to work with. She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and it truly showed in the photos. On our wedding day, she was both organized and flexible, ensuring we got all the shots we wanted while keeping everything relaxed and fun. Along with that, she did an amazing job of working with both our families in a way that didn't feel overly stressful and made it fun!
The final photos exceeded our expectations in every way. Every image is stunning, filled with warmth and light, and perfectly tells the story of our day. If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled but also wonderful to work with, look no further than.
We are so grateful to have had her capture our most important memories!

wedding after having a great engagement photoshoot experience with her, and we just got our wedding album back. All I can say is WOW. The photos turned out even more stunning than we had hoped! It is incredible looking back on all of the tiny details that Allison and her husband captured so beautifully. Even though it was an indoor wedding, the photos are light, airy, and romantic. Even the more formal photos with family members have such an effortless and genuine feel. During the day, Allison was so professional and efficient about getting the photos we needed on the timeline we needed. She is the best at directing you where to go and how to pose, but nothing felt stiff (or looked stiff in the pictures). She was also so flexible with the number of hours we wanted to have for photography coverage and helped with creating our timeline. Allison was overall wonderful to work with and we would highly recommend hiring her for your wedding (or any other special occasion)!

e literally try to crash our wedding and take pictures at our venue while we were there and she jumped into action to make sure they were shooed away. We also had a ton of family photos to get through and she made quick work of getting them all done so we could enjoy the day. She helps with everything imaginable even small things like we didn't have plates for the cake cutting and she rushed to grab them for us before our song was over and still had time to capture the moment. She helped bustle my dress, put my bouquet in water, the list goes on. Could not thank her enough for going above and beyond! Hire her!

s with her, which I'd recommend before the wedding! It helped us feel more comfortable with her, and the photos turned out phenomenal! She was creative with poses and getting us to break tensions/anxienty.
Our wedding day is when she SHONE! She came when I was running late and instead of getting flustered or staying strict to schedule, she took photos we had later in the schedule that didn't need me. Then, during the wedding, my guests weren't listening to my mom's or bridesmaids, and she directed crowds and helped cue my wedding. While taking group photos, she was direct but not rude. She knew how to save time and even kept me on track. She was sooooo worth trusting in taking my photos. I HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend Allison. Even if someone may be less expensive, Allison is worth it!! My whole entire family commented to me how perfectly she executed our wedding photos and how God sent she was. If I redid my wedding, I'd hire her again for sure! If you will budget for anything, budget for Allison to be your photographer.

My partner doesn’t usually have much patience for photos but Allison kept us busy and made it feel like we were just enjoying each other’s company and laughing with each other while being photographed. She is very professional and experienced. I could tell that she’s done tons of weddings because on our wedding day she got all the photos we requested even though there was a time crunch and we had to do things out of order. (this was because the boutonnières weren’t ready when she arrived so the groomsman photos took extra time, but she was super helpful in getting those sorted without making a fuss). I’m so glad we hired Allison as our photographer! I’m SO happy with the photos and we will cherish them forever!!
