About this vendor
WEDDING & LIFESTYLE PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE FUN LOVING, LAID BACK LUXE
You want to be able to look back on your wedding day and feel exactly how you felt
My couples feel relaxed and comfortable on their wedding day allowing space for natural moments to happen and actually enjoy the day celebrating with their loved ones.
When you work with me, you get an intentional experience with you at the center. I don't believe in forcing moments but creating space for natural moments to happen while creating images with a fun loving approach with less posing & more guided prompts
My style is timeless and true to color with a pop of magic sprinkled in so the photographs can be loved forever rather than adjusting to the current trends.
STRESSED ABOUT TIMELINE?
I send out pre wedding questionnaire and work closely with you and/or your planner to create a timeline that allows you to slow down and take in the moments and feel comfortable knowing I know what's happening when to capture those special moments
I'm not the photographer who just shows up to snap some photos for you. Photography is personal and I’m with you all day long during your wedding and my background in human services allows me to serve my clients in a unique way and allow you to be comfortable in front of the camera. I have a very client centric approach, where you come first, so I take a limited number of weddings to give you my full attention.
I wholeheartedly believe in quality over quantity, clear open communication, and am rooted in transparency and integrity.
THE END RESULT
I love to capture real emotion and natural connections with minimal posing and simple guidance. I get all the important family photos and then capture the day as it naturally unfolds.
You'll have a final gallery of beautiful natural moments- filled with joy and laughter
TIMELESS IMAGES YOU'LL LOVE FOREVER

It was such a pleasure to have Allison as our wedding photographer. Our pictures came out ABSOLUTELY beautifully and exceeded our expectations! Our family and friends shared happy-tears admiring how they turned out. Allison brought such a calming presence to our wedding day and provided a sneak peek of our photos just two days later - which we loved and were able to use immediately on our thank you cards. It was clear from the start that Allison is a professional, organized, and knows exactly what she’s doing. We are forever grateful to her and look forward to admiring our photos for decades to come.
I had a great experience with Allison! She was quick to get back to me and had great communication throughout the process. Her kindness and guidance helped me feel really comfortable during the photoshoot. I'm so happy with the overall experience and loved how the pictures turned out!
Allison Upchurch Photography was an absolute dream to work with. From the start, Allison's calmness and professionalism made us feel at ease throughout the entire day. She effortlessly captured the most authentic and romantic moments that truly told a beautiful story of our special day. During the family portrait session, she was impressively efficient, ensuring we got all the important shots with our extensive list of family members.
One aspect that stood out was how Allison handled the bridal portraits. She was incredibly creative in guiding me to different locations, lighting and angles, resulting in stunning photos. What we appreciated the most was during the sunset photos, Allison expertly utilized the natural lighting to create unforgettable and sentimental shots, giving us a truly special experience.
We are beyond pleased with Allison's work and are incredibly grateful that our friend recommended her to us. She truly went above and beyond to document memories that we will hold dear for a lifetime. Working with Allison was a joy, and we highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented and professional wedding photographer.
Allison is simply the BEST! If you’re looking for a truly skillful, kind, and exceptional photographer with a keen eye for detail and the ability to create magic through her lens, look no further! Our photos from our wedding and our engagement shoot are stunning and captured our day flawlessly! Our guests were impressed with her ability to be in all the right places at the right time to capture all the best moments. Her style matched ours perfectly, and was the ideal mix of structured posed photos and creative candid shots. Allison’s passion for her work shines through in each photo and she truly gives her all to her clients! We are so grateful that we found Allison and can’t wait to have her capture more of our beautiful memories in the future!
Allison did a great work with our wedding session, we felt really comfortable and secure during the whole session, she helped us posing properly and guided us all the way, she’s a real professional and produced high quality photos, we are really happy with the result, she is very dedicated and passionate photographer! Thank you Allison for everything!
Allison is AMAZING to work with and we recommend her to everyone who asks. We have done many wonderful family photo sessions with her and we knew enough about her work/style/personality that we knew she was one of our first MUSTS for our wedding. Going into the wedding we already knew we loved working with her/the product but she exceeded expectations in every way. Leading up to our wedding day, Allison was very helpful with planning and insight. She is always quickly reachable and has great advice when planning. Day of, she was the calm within the chaos so to say. She was constantly positive, patient, and helpful. She helped us feel stress free and was able to get a lot of our shots done in a timely manner so we had more time to spend with guests. She provides an amazing experience and beautiful photos.
We are so happy that Allison was apart of our wedding team! From our engagement shoot to our big day, Allison made the entire experience seamless. My husband and I can be a little awkward when it comes to photos, but Allison is professional, personable and made us feel so comfortable during our sessions. Her work is truly amazing and matched the entire look and feel of our wedding perfectly. I hope she can continue to capture our biggest life events for years to come! We couldn’t be happier with our experience and highly recommend her!
We did an engagement session with Allison and our pictures turned out amazing! Allison made us feel very comfortable and direct is what poses to do and she captured us so beautifully. From start to finish the communication was easy and the process was very streamlined. We can’t wait for her to capture our wedding next year!
I found Allison through Instagram, I had seen a post sharing photos she had taken. I loved the style and the editing, and have since had multiple shoots with her: an outdoor maternity session, an indoor maternity session (studio), and family photos. I'm not typically someone who likes getting photographed, but I had a great experience during all three shoots and now have photos that I will cherish for a lifetime. My husband is *actually smiling* in them, not that fake smile that tends to make its appearance in photos. If she can get real smiles out of us, you know she's a great photographer! She also has great locations, and great communication before and after. 10/10 recommend.
I just completed my wedding boudoir shoot with Allison and my breath was taken away with the quality of the photos. I couldn't believe the result and I'm so thrilled to be able to share this with my fiancé on our wedding day as a gift to him. She gave great explanation to make me feel comfortable with each placement and look. Recommend for anyone to spice up their wedding, a gift, or just for yourself to feel great.
So happy we found and were able to book Allison!! She is truly talented in her work, she has an amazing eye to capture those special moments! The classic colors and look of the photos are my favorite! I truly wanted something that would be classic and look perfect for years to come, and Allison does just that! We were able to use her for engagement and wedding, both photos and galleries are perfect! We love absolutely EVERY photo from our wedding, hard to pick which ones to print, but such a good problem to have! 😉 She is so organized and on top of anything that you could think of or need on your wedding day. Her communication is amazing and her gallery delivery is always within her timelines! She is very kind and thoughtful and genuinely wants to capture you, your partner, and family true to themselves and in the best way possible! We have loved revisiting each special moment captured by Allison, and couldn’t have asked for a better photographer! Would highly recommend her services for engagement, wedding, and any other photo needs, she’s an amazing artist! Thank you Allison!!

Allison Upchurch photography was so easy. Her clear communication made it completely stress free and fun! The time and care she took to edit resulted in amazing photos. Everyone was so happy with them.
Allison shot my husband in and I in my dream spot, Joshua Tree!
Allison is so helpful with making sure you're sticking to your timeline and coordinating between vendors, the wedding party, and family. Second, she delivered such a beautiful gallery! We could not have asked for more! Third, she is so talented and personable.
She helped us all feel so comfortable, even though we don’t usually love being in front of the camera. Book Allison if you're looking for a wonderful vendor for your wedding!
Not my wedding, but family member wedding and I was in the wedding party. Allison was super organized and had a great plan to keep everything flowing and made sure we got through all of the photos on schedule. I saw the photo gallery afterwards and was blown away, she did great. I will be hiring her for my own events in the near future.
Simply put, the best! She was very courteous and professional with the other vendors especially wedding planner. Was super efficient with our time and nailed great shots without making it feel like we were taking pictures the whole time. I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a great photographer
I am impressed by Allison’s professionalism and attention to detail. When we discussed the timeline of our wedding day, I just felt a weight off my shoulders. I had trust she would capture beautiful moments on one of the most important days of our lives. She delivered! The pictures are SO beautiful. I was also pleasantly surprised with the quick turnaround in delivering them to us. Please do yourself a huge favor and book your photos with Allison for your wedding day. You will not regret it!
Allison is amazing. She is super friendly and easy to communicate with. She responded the same day to my inquiry and was able to setup a FaceTime consult. The whole booking process is seamless and online.
She was always help throughout the whole process, came to our venue walked through and made engagement photos fun and easy.
Wedding day was seriously no stress and she helps put the timeline together and the shot list of everything we wanted. She has the standard list written out to make it easy then were able to add in our own.
I also did a boudoir shoot prior and love that We can stay with her as our family grows.
