Allison was so much fun to work with from the very beginning of the process! She made us completely comfortable at our engagement shoot and was like part of the family by the day...
of the wedding. Most importantly, though, are the unbelievable photos she captured of our big day! When she promises to capture "the unexpected moment ", she delivers. I feel like I got to see our day all over again through the eyes of our guests! Thank you, Allison, for everything!
Allison shot our wedding 13 years ago yesterday. They bring a tear to my eyes still, not just because of the beauty of the photos, which would be enough in itself, but also because...
how accurately they capture our families. She is a photojournalist, who brings humor, heart and soul to her work. She also understands lush, flattering lighting and the expectations of wedding photos. Can't say enough about her shots. I have continued to use her over the years for all shots from professional to family photos.
allison photo captured our wedding on film and then created a book that tells "our story."
Friends and family who were unable to attend and have looked at our album agree, the...
moments were captured so beautifully, they felt as if they where there...they"get" the flow of the occasion.
Most photographers adhere to a stale photographic plan...allison captured quiet, almost stolen moments during which we had no idea she was present. To have these intimate moments on film makes us smile every time we pass the prints up on our walls.
allison is as much a story teller as she is a true talent behind the lens.
Allison was my first choice for wedding photog and boy, she did not disappoint!!! The images are beautiful- and they all have that extra something...hard to say what it is... perso...
nality? humor? charm? elegance? They are very HUMAN...she captured the essence of my day and my loved ones perfectly. I cannot recommend her highly enough!!!
Allison was incredibly helpful. We had a small wedding and hadn't even really thought through the ceremony because our plans were so informal. Sitting down with her and walking thr...
ough what photos we wanted really helped us figure out exactly what we wanted to do both during the ceremony and reception. She also got a preview of our photos back to us super quickly and made the whole set available to all of our guests on her website. I can't recommend her enough. She was very easy to work with and flexible.
My husband and I got married a month ago and we are so thrilled with the way the photos look. We were really turned off by other photographers whose main goal were glamour shots an...
d artsy images. Our goal was to get photos of us, our friends, and our family celebrating and looking happy. She understood our intent and delivered! She was also very easy to work with, with a flexible and positive attitude.
Allison was magnificent! My daughter and I were thrilled with the photos. She was extremely professional and has a great eye and very generous spirit.
Even though I had just met Allison, I felt like I had hired a good friend to shoot my wedding. She added to my seamless day. She's fun, easy to be around. She was like a stealthy g...
hostly photo ninja. She was EVERYWHERE catching every single wonderful moment. Too many for my little brain to have recalled. THANK YOU ALLISON, there should be at least 100 clones of you.
We did an engagement shoot Downtown LA last weekend with Allison and could not be more impressed with her! She is a true artist. She has a very calming, kind demeanor, and also s...
he collaborates well with your input. We not only got a variety of shots and looks to our pictures, but had a great time with her while we shot them. We have already gotten so many compliments on how beautiful our pictures are. I HIGHLY recommend Allison Photo!
I had the pleasure of having Allison take the pictures for my wedding in October, 2013. I could not be more pleased with how everything turned out.
Allison has a wonderful pe...
rsonality. She is calming, organized, and has a wonderful sense of humor. These qualities were much needed and appreciated as the big day approached.
From the start, Allison paid attention to what we wanted. We were able to meet and speak with Allison leading up to the big day and she was also quick to respond to a request or need. It made my life so much better during the planning stages to know that my photography was going to be taken care of.
When the wedding day actually got here, Allison was on time, professional, and got all pictures needed and then some. She fitted in well with the wedding parties, making sure everyone was having fun, while maintaining all picture requests we had.
I received our pictures very quickly after the wedding and am so pleased with how they turned out. There are so many to choose from, that I am quickly running out of space in my house on where I can put them.
I would recommend Allison Photo to anyone who is looking for high quality photos for their big event. The thing I liked most was a lot of the pictures are not planned, but instead natural and capture the moment. If I were to do it again, I wouldn't change a thing.
Allison captures the moment. She gets what you want before you finish your sentence; she gets the shot you envisioned.
For our engagement shoot, we started at the venice cana...
ls and Allison had mapped the best route to include every kind of background we had discussed. Some ocean, some urban, some brick, everything! She grabbed candid shots that I have above our fireplace and still enjoy every day!
The day of the wedding, Allison put me totally at ease. She felt more like a friend with a rather large camera in hand. Her iconic laugh, concern for every detail, warm energy, all of it. She was a truly special part of that day for me.
If you have a vision, Allison will capture it. I love her. Like really love her, would want to spend a Saturday afternoon on the porch with her and her two amazing daughters--cutest ladies in the world.
She's just simply, the best.
We were living in LA but got married in Iowa - Allison is in LA but has family in Chicago, so we paid for her to travel to Iowa. She was the best vendor we worked with. She took th...
e time to write down the family tree on both sides and knew the names and faces of every member of the family on the day of the wedding. She is so pleasant and professional but also is not afraid to boss people around a little when need be (which is so necessary to get everyone to stop talking and take family photos!). She also got a photo of everyone at the reception. Her photos were amazing and working with her was awesome!
Allison was such a joy to work with. She was talented, professional, organized, and so sweet. Her rates were more affordable than other photographers we talked to, but the quality ...
was still fantastic! She was so sweet and friendly, it felt like having a good friend photograph my wedding--which was a great feeling when I discovered how nervous I was on the big day. After the fact, we got the photos in a very timely manner, and she did not put any pressure on us to rush into ordering an expensive photo album. I can't recommend her enough!!
We could not have asked for a better photographer! Allison is SO talented and was so professional. She gave us all a sense of ease and made taking photos effortless. I highly re...
commend Allison Photo!
I chose Allison Photo based on the quality of her photography and was not disappointed. Her photographic eye is amazing. Her organization and Ideas were invaluable to me leading up...
to and during the wedding. I am so happy with the quality of her work. I feel fortunate to have found the best wedding photographer. She is a gem - don't pass her up!
Alison shot our wedding at The Victorian in Santa Monica in April 2005. She is a first class operation from start to finish. She spent a lot of time with us in advance to get a s...
ense of what we wanted, who the important players are, and how the day would go. She shot both our engagements pics and wedding pics. They are beautiful and I'm reminded of her great work every day when I see the prints hanging in our hall.
She also dedicated a lot of time post-wedding to making our album exactly as we wanted it, down to the most minute detail.
I can't recommend her heartily enough. I've hired her since our wedding for some work-related shoots!
Allison is incredibly personable and professional. She captured the entire day beautifully, took individual close-ups of all my guests, and made everyone feel comfortable. She is v...
ery organized and got every shot we discussed plus a ton more. Photo proofs are beautiful 5x7 prints that you can put right into an album. The best photographer I could have wished for!!!
My husband and I could not have found a better photographer to capture all of the emotional moments of our wedding day. Allison is simply the best. She is so friendly, down-to-ea...
rth, and passionate about her work, that you instantly know that you're in good hands. Including the gorgeous pictures that she takes of the bride and groom, wedding party and family, she will also get great shots of the little details (flowers, table arrangements), candid photos of all of your guests, and of course, the tender and and exciting moments throughout the day.
Allison is PREPARED, and has plenty of great ideas to share with you in order to help you plan for the photos that you want on the big day. She even asked for the names of all of our family members were coming to the wedding, so that she would know who all the major players were in advance. She's very available and will answer any questions that you have throughout the process.
I highly recommend Allison Photo. If you want a photographer who cares about you, and who loves her work, then Allison's your gal!
Allison is the best! She captured literally every single moment of my special day. My entire family fell in love with her and she was the wedding photographer for my brother a few ...
years after my wedding and my other brother a year after that . . . we wouldn't have a wedding in our family without Allison there! I cannot say enough great things about Allison. Honestly, my wedding would not have been the same without her! She took the best picture of the entire wedding (all 180 people). She stood on top of a ladder and looked down. It's a picture that almost everyone from the wedding ordered because it is so great! She also has an incredible personality - so calming and relaxing which was so helpful on my wedding day.
With Allison you are truly in great hands! She's the best!
I had a small (60 people) back yard wedding, and Allison was great. We were on a budge, and spending $4000 on a photographer was not doable. We spend a lot of time looking for a ...
budget photographer, and found that most of them had quality equal to the price, not with Allison. She met with us a number of times, came to the house and helped outline the flow of the pictures, including a great full group picture where she actually climbed onto the roof to get everyone! We had a list of who needed to be where when for all the group pictures to be taken care of in advance of the wedding. She photographed all of the details of the wedding, the dances and the toasts, with a very personal touch. The quality was great, and we got both colored and black and white. My husband was so impressed with her that he even thanked her in his toast!
If you are looking for good quality at a very affordable price with a personal touch, you won't go wrong with Allison!
I can undoubtedly say that Allison is the best wedding photographer we could've had! She's always on time, on top of everything, very organized and she's open to any suggestions or...
requests. In addition, she has a great personality and is very warm and friendly.
