About this vendor
I believe in the kind of love that changes everything. It begs you to hold on tighter and stay a little longer. It consumes your thoughts. It's real, it's messy, and it's hard work, but it always gives more than it takes. It's worth it. Every little moment is worth it. It's the love a dad has for his baby girl the first time he lays his eyes on her. It's the love of both the couple who is beginning to plan their wedding, and the ones who have forgotten more years than they can remember. It's the love she is finding for herself after years of wishing she were someone else. It's the marriage that deserves to be celebrated after long nights of wondering if it will last.
IT'S SELFLESS. IT'S PASSIONATE. IT'S DEVOTED.
If you're in this kind of love, I have a feeling we'll make a great team!

Where do I even begin?! I’ve followed Allison’s photography for a long time and hsve always loved her work. I am so incredibly happy that she was our photographer for our wedding b...
ecause she is fantastic at her job! She made us feel so special and we were still able to be our goofy selves without feeling awkward and and she captured all of the moments that were important to us. She did an amazing job with our engagement photos and even sent some sneak peaks from our wedding that turned out absolutely perfect. We cannot wait to get the rest of our photos back and we know that they are going to be better than ever. Thank you so much Allison and Lauren!! If you’re looking for a photographer, I highly recommend This Lovely Light!!
We got married on 9/23 and had Allison as our photographer! She is so talented and creative & we had a blast with her! She included our dog and braved the wind and our quirky venue...
without doubt or hesitation. We can’t wait to see all of her photos because we know they’re going to capture the best day of our lives & we can’t wait to give albums to our parents to cherish forever. She’s the best!
Having Allison take your photos is like having your best friend capture you. She captures your best angles and keeps your hair in check, all while gassing you up.
Being camera shy...
, my husband and I were hesitant about having our photos taken, but Allison put us right at ease. On our wedding day, she and Lauren felt like part of the group - making the whole process natural and seamless.
Our engagement photos could not be more gorgeous and the sneak peeks from our wedding have absolutely floored me. Allison will be our photographer for life and I promise, if you book her, she will be yours too!

otion of each moment as it happened. When my husband and I got our wedding pictures back from Allison, we looked through them and they brought tears to our eyes. Seeing each picture that was taken so beautifully, brought us back to each of those moments and it was like we were able to relive our wedding day all over again! Allison truly captures each moment so wonderfully! We highly highly recommend her, not just as your wedding photographer, but as your lifetime photographer!
Allison has been amazing to work with this past year. We had our engagement photos last October and she blew us away with her talent. My family and friends could not believe how aw...
esome our engagement photos were which made everyone so excited for our wedding photos next September. She made my husband and I so comfortable the entire process. I was very stressed out about my timeline since I was getting married at 1pm and she was able to help me come up with the perfect plan. On our wedding day, Allison came ready to work and captured all the details that made our day a fairytale. We just got our photos a week ago and we are SPEECHLESS. She made a beautiful slideshow that I have watched at least 100 times by now and I cry happy tears every time. We are beyond thrilled with her work and will use her as our photographer for every major event in our lives going forward. Looking at our photos brought us right back to our day and we are so thankful for Allison!!
Allison did an incredible job with our photos. When we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID, she was so flexible and supportive with changing dates and venues. She and her seco...

s everything you could want in a vendor- quick to respond, easy to communicate with and an overall amazing human. She was the first vendor I hired and I am SO grateful to have found her. I cannot recommend her enough.
Allison is incredible. I knew that I wanted a chance to work with her way before I was engaged. And when I did get engaged, she was the first person I reached out to. You can see h...
ow much she cares in the pictures she takes and in the conversations that you get to have with her. My husband and I knew we wanted a small wedding, and it was important for us to have pictures that captured the intimacy of the moment. She went beyond that. Allison is kind, very helpful and amazing at what she does. We had a lot of fun taking our pictures, and her joy was infectious. I’m very camera shy but her direction was helpful and created very natural, candid pictures. If you have the chance to work with Allison, I highly recommend you reach out. It was a great opportunity and I can’t say enough good things about it. The pictures are beautiful, I can’t stop looking at them even two months later. Thank you Allison for all that you do!
We recently received our pictures from Allison and were blown away. Every one we have shared the photos with have been equally stunned. Allison doesn't just take your picture, she ...

In addition to taking beautiful pictures, she is just an overall awesome person. We felt so comfortable with her and our pictures show that. We trusted her completely and it was the best decision we made. Hopefully she decides to have a long career in this busines... she will be our go to photographer for years to come!!

ch and it really helped us to get to know her style before the wedding. She then helped suggest locations for our wedding photos. Lastly, she was great with all of our friends and family on the wedding day. Coordinating such a large bridal party couldn't have been easy, but she made it look flawless. We would definitely suggest This Lovely Light to anyone who asks.
