We are over the moon about our entire experience with Allie as our wedding weekend photographer and highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for an extremely organized and detail-oriented photographer who you can wholeheartedly trust.

Allie photographed our engagement photos, tea ceremony, and wedding day. Our engagement photos with her were our first professional photos ever taken together, and we had such a blast and received the most beautiful gallery in the sand dunes; we loved how comfortable Allie made us feel while being in front of the camera for the first time. This whole experience made us so excited for our wedding weekend. Between the engagement session and wedding weekend, we loved that we spent a few weeks fine-tuning our wedding day timeline to ensure that we had enough time to meet all our photo goals (adequate time for family photos, wedding party portraits, couple portraits, etc). We are so thankful that Allie does this with all her clients because we ultimately never felt rushed on our actual wedding day. Allie helped edit a highly thought-out timeline that allowed us to prioritize soaking in sweet, candid moments. When we look back at our wedding weekend, we appreciate how present we were the whole time, instead of feeling rushed through the day due to a "checklist of photos" to complete. Allie made sure we had ample time in our timeline to soak in the moment at all times instead of jumping into the next thing.

Allie really stands out in her ability to curate art in the form of photography (with both film and digital), while staying calm and professional and going above and beyond all expectations. What stands out the most is that Allie delivered the most massive album album to us (more photos than we expected), and it turns out that our most favorite photos were the candid ones of us that Allie set the tone and setting for! These were photos where Allie worked her magic in posing us effortlessly and created scenarios where we just focused on each other instead of the camera- these are our most cherished photos. We are so grateful. Allie has definitely mastered her ability to create art through photographs while making couples feel so comfortable. She has an eye for the most perfect shots and plays with lighting so magically that our gallery looked like something from our wildest dreams.

Upon getting our gallery back, we were so in awe of how natural and beautiful all our photos were. Each photo tells a beautiful story, and many remind us of special little moments that we had with each other full of joy from our wedding day. She always knew what to say to us or our wedding party and family to help us be in the moment, and it really shines through as we go through our gallery photos. Allie and her team were our rocks throughout our wedding weekend because they were so friendly and their calm presence kept us grounded from the beginning to end; she and her team worked so seamlessly together and had impeccable communication. With this, they were able to create a clear and concise plan with the videography team and the content creators, so every team member was ready and prepared for every moment.

What we especially loved was that Allie and her team expressed much care to our loved ones as well. They knew how to cheer up one of our little nephews who was feeling tired for family photos in which he ended up giving a sweet smile and laugh in the family photo. They showed so much grace to my grandma who was not able to walk fast. They always knew the right things to say while showing a lot of compassion. Our family members at our tea ceremony expressed that she and her team were so professional and friendly, and it felt like they were truly feeling so happy for our families. She and her team got through what seemed like a long family shot-list so effortlessly and seamlessly while making it so much fun. It really felt like Allie truly cheered us on as we embarked through each step of our wedding weekend. We felt so close to her already after our engagement photos, and we could not have imagined anyone else there as our photographer at our wedding.

We are so grateful that Allie came into our lives for our wedding season and will always remember her as a core part of the success of our wedding weekend. Thank you so much Allie!

In looking for a photographer for our wedding day, Allie came highly recommended by our wedding coordinator, Julie Scrivener. Allie was incredibly warm, kind and patient through multiple postponements from the start of planning our wedding in early 2019 to finally celebrating July 3, 2022. Allie is incredibly detailed and punctual and she helped me immensely with finalizing my day-of timeline and keeping us on schedule! An unexpected event in Balboa Park on a holiday weekend that could have caused a big bump in the road ended up a non-issue due to Allie’s quick thinking and positive attitude. My bridal party and guests were very much impressed by Allie’s attitude, professionalism and talent. The photos are incredibly beautiful, as expected. I am so grateful to have had Allie’s presence on our special day and her talent to capture it all. Thank you, Allie!

Omg, I cannot say enough about how amazing Allie is! She made my wedding so special and her vibe/personality was EXACTLY what I needed! The bridal party loved her so so much! It really was an easy and great day with Allie's help. She also sent the photos super quickly and they are AMAZING! I'm obsessed! There's so many great photos I don't think I could even pick a top 10! Booking her for weddings is definitely a MUST!
