New Best Friend and Photographer in One
First of all - look no further, Allison is it so go ahead and book her. Not only were her photos absolutely amazing, but Allison's personality is so kind and fun that even from our first email I felt like I was talking with one of my friends which as a bride really put me at ease. From our engagement photos on the beach in 30+ mph winds - to our big day, Allison was very responsive, engaging, and open to any wild and crazy idea I may have add. Her photos are absolutely STUNNING and vibrant with the colors - seriously there's not a single wedding photo I don't like. My husband and I are also not a couple who like to pose for pictures and prefer candids, but she made us feel SO comfortable that posing just felt natural. By the end of our wedding night, Allison felt more like a friend than photographer and we were both sad to see her leave. So if you want someone with stunning work who feels just like a friend - look no further because Allison is it!

I am a professional third wheel. A Leo and a Gryffindor. Sarcasm is my love language. I laugh A LOT. Sunsets are my favorite. 35mm film will always be my first love. I am obsessed with Italy, and Portugal, and Amsterdam... okay, Europe. LGBTQ+ supporter. I was born in Ohio but I was made for the beach. Between weddings, I'm mostly busy exploring the world, catching live shows at Greenfield Lake, and hanging with my very sassy Samoyed named Luna (if you don't know that dog breed please do yourself a favor and google it). Yes I named her after Luna Lovegood. If you get that reference then we'll be the best of friends. Let's go grab some mimosas and talk about your big day!
