“Allison is amazing. I have already recommended her to two of my close friends who will be getting married within the next year.
Allison is such an incredible photographer, I have so so many good things to say about her but I am limited to a number of characters so I will stick to just the highlights:
Engagement photos
Allison did our engagement photos and made it so fun! My husband is a little awkward in posing for pictures and Allison made us laugh and told us exactly how we needed to pose our bodies in all of our photos. She was great!
Prior to the wedding
Allison set up a timeline meeting. I did not have a wedding coordinator, so this meeting was detrimental for the success of the wedding going as planned. Allison asked questions I hadn't thought of and asked for a list all of our priority photos. This created a smooth transition between photos throughout the event.
At the wedding
Honestly I think the event could have quite possibly fallen apart if it weren't for Allison. She organized where everyone needed to be, took the initiative to adjust our floral arrangements so that they looked perfect in photos, and communicated to other vendors and family members as needed throughout the evening. When we were filling out our marriage certificate and application, she gave us advice on where to sign, how to sign, and what to include when we missed the backside (it was our first - and last - time completing this document and my Uncles first wedding that he officiated). This was beyond helpful and took so much stress away. I am sure she did even more behind the scenes that I don't know about. She truly went ABOVE AND BEYOND anything that I could have imagined for a photographer.
When taking our family portraits, Allison was so patient! It is important to mention that our family and friends are like zoo animals and herding them into photos is NOT easy. Allison stayed calm, but stern, and was able to take all the photos that we had talked about her getting. We got a lot of feedback from family and friends that our "photographer was spicy," and I love that so much! She was a hit!
Again, Allison made things fun and kept the evening light. She told everyone how to pose and where to be and truly was such a rockstar in making sure that everyone was comfortable - just as she had during our engagement photos.
Allison, I truly cannot thank you enough for all of the work you put into our photos and our day to make sure it was perfect. I appreciate you with my entire heart and I cannot wait to work with you in the future. I look forward to you being the one to capture all of our milestones. Thank you.”
