Where do I start?
From the beginning, Allison made me feel comfortable and understood. I did her package that included wedding day and a boudoir session.
For the boudoir, she w...
as so fun and made me feel comfortable - I forgot I was in lingerie! She made it so easy and booked a studio - all I did was show up with outfits. She had all the idea, poses, and creativity.
At my wedding she treated me like a friend and was so supportive, uplifting, and kind. When family photos happened she was quick to command the room so we could get through photos. Her second shooter was super creative and fun, too! I appreciated having two shooters.
She was always punctual (if not, early) and communicated thoroughly to keep me updated on things.
I would hire her again and again! I absolutely adore her
We just got our pictures back from our daughter's wedding! OMG Alison captured every detail and then some magical moments we didn’t even know were going on! She is professional b...

Alison is the best! From the very beginning we felt so comfortable with her. My husband and I don't live in the DFW area, but got married there so we had to coordinate our engageme...
nt session with trips to DFW for other wedding planning things. Alison was so flexible and went above and beyond to find times that were going to work for us. When it started raining during our session, she even offered to schedule a second half-session with us on another day to make up for what we missed because of the rain.
She was super helpful in terms of helping with the wedding timeline and making suggestions to make sure we had the best lighting for our ceremony and family pictures.
On our wedding day, everything went so smoothly and I got all of the pictures with family and friends that I wanted. She told me she takes pictures of literally everything, and she was not kidding. Our wedding gallery perfectly captured every moment of our special day.
She gave us a wonderful sneak peek with so many pictures to hold us over until we got the full gallery back. All of our pictures are beautiful and I will forever cherish them.
We can't wait to work with Alison more in the future!
Alison did a great job for our daughters’ weddings. She is personable, talented, and punctual. She really captures the essence of the occasion. Alison knows weddings and timelines...
and works well with others that are involved like the DJ and the coordinator. She is not obtrusive in a church ceremony but still manages to get fabulous photos. At the reception, she is always photographing special moments and captures it all. You would be very pleased to have Alison be your photographer!

y to talk to and just tell her what I needed and she understood. Not only did I feel sure but I knew she would also make my husband comfortable when it came to taking pictures up close and personal as he doesn't like to take pictures. Not only is she fun but you can see the effort she puts into her photographs. I also really appreciated the quick turn around for the wedding pictures. I would hire her again and highly recommend her services to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

Alison is seriously amazing, not only did we use her for our wedding, but engagements as well as family photos before we were even engaged!
She’s hilarious, super easy going, but...
also very efficient. She is great at communicating with you to get the perfect pose, and has an eye for details. My wedding guests loved her, she was able to have fun with everyone and put us at ease (because it’s a stressful day and getting everyone to pose for pictures can be daunting).
This is all before we saw the final product and oh my gosh the pictures were beautiful. She has incredible talent, and my wedding album will be something I cherish forever.
I highly recommend her, you will NOT be disappointed!

e hit the jackpot. I had never met Alison before the actual wedding day. Yet, I felt so comfortable with her as we talked to her about what we wanted on our big day. She was so professional, sweet, and incredibly talented. My groom kept saying how she was so nice and totally was our style by making things quick and easy on the day of so we could spend more time with our guests. Every shot she took was beautiful. Her photography is so natural and romantic. And her second shooter was absolutely fabulous as well! There couldn’t have been a better photographer to capture our special day. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
Hired Alison for my daughter’s wedding & engagement photos. The engagement photos were nice, had about 30 to choose from. However the wedding photos were a mess and not what we exp...
ected. My main complaint was that she didn’t follow the list of photos my daughter requested be taken at the wedding....bride with sister, bride with grandmother, etc. We gave Alison that paperwork a month in advance. She didn’t go off the list and sadly we were missing photos that were very important to us. NO PHOTO OF THE BRIDE WITH HER MOTHER! (That would be me). Also she took half the chapel pictures where the sun was on some of the people and didn’t filter it out. Lots of duplicates and unnecessary photos were submitted, 606 total. She was very pricy, we paid over $2k. She also will not give out the originals. I will say that even though I am not happy with her work, my daughter was pleased with the pictures which is the only reason I gave her two stars. I gave Alison a chance to try to make it right but the only response I got was “I’m sorry you feel that way.” I have another daughter who will be getting married in the next couple of years and we will be giving our business to someone else.
