  Absolutely amazing!! Hire her asap.

  My fiancee and I were 2020 COVID-impacted brides and decided to do a small "part one" Ithaca ceremony with just our immediate family and a photographer. Allison's portfolio stood out to us right away and she turned out to be even more wonderful than we hoped. We were a bit stressed with organizing the event for our families, but she was so flexible, understanding, and helpful. She was prompt, organized, and professional, while putting us completely at ease both before and during our day. Her style is absolutely gorgeous- so personal and authentic, without the least bit of stoic, stiff, or overly posed you sometimes see in wedding photos. They're bringing us right back to the day :) Hire her asap- it'll be one of the best and easiest decisions you make during your wedding planning. Thank you, Allison!

  Amazing professional for short-notice elopement

  Allison is amazing! She was so kind & flexible in working with us on a short-notice elopement (and over a holiday weekend, no less).
  
  We had our photos in hand quickly and they turned out wonderfully!
  
  We would gladly recommend Allison without hesitation.

  Amazing in every way

  I truly can't say enough good things about Allison and her work. We booked her to photograph our June 2020 wedding at the Ithaca Farmers Market, which was postponed to September, and then changed to a small wedding with a larger party planned for 2021. Throughout the changing plans and uncertainty, Allison was wonderful to work with. During a time of many stressful conversations about changing dates, contracts, and COVID safety, my conversations with Allison were exactly the opposite. After every email or phone call conversation with her, I left with a feeling of gratitude and that everything would truly work out. She was generous and beyond accommodating with the uncertain circumstances and very clear and professional in communicating, frequently answering questions that I would have never thought to ask.
  
  And, of course, her work is amazing! She captured our day so perfectly and beautifully. As a couple who feels a little awkward taking photos, I was happy to find that our time taking couple portraits was some of my favorite of the day because it gave me a chance to just be with my new husband completely naturally, and that is exactly what Allison captured. Between many candid and natural photos and some beautiful posed ones, all of them feel exactly like us.
  
  When I first started planning my wedding, I definitely underestimated the importance of hiring vendors who both do great work and are great to work with. Allison is above and beyond for both!

  Above and beyond!

  Allison went above and beyond for us! We knew we wanted her as our photographer when we started planning so we picked a date she was available! She listened to our ideas and provided her professional opinion when needed. She stayed flexible with our changing plans throughout the process, especially as the pandemic affected our originally planned day. We loved our photos and they were delivered within 10 days of our wedding! She was also incredibly responsive to all our emails throughout the year+ of planning! I love that she has prices based on hours so she can be affordable to all couples too. Can't recommend her enough!

  Incredibly talented, creative, and helpful photographer

  We feel so fortunate that Allison was available to support, guide, and photograph our small wedding. We appreciated her excellent communication and clear expectations around her role and ours. Her organization and foresight helped us think through all the important details, yet she adapted easily to challenging weather conditions. Allison was only with us for a few hours, but in that time she went above and beyond to capture the story of our day. Somehow she managed to be in all the right places to document moments of spontaneity and joy. In a year when COVID prevented us from gathering with most of our family and friends, her photos made it possible to share our big day with loved ones near and far.

  Calm and supportive photographer

  Allison was a pleasure to work with! She connected us with other vendors, helped us work out a day-of schedule and transition from event to event, and put our photo-shy families at ease. Her flexible pricing structure also helped us find a photo package that fit our grad student budget. We highly recommend her to anyone planning a wedding in the Ithaca area.

  Stunning photos, very professional service, really magical work

  We cannot say enough good things about Allison and her phenomenal photography skills. To this day, weeks after the wedding, we and all of our guests are still completely in awe of how wonderfully the pictures came out. We are so happy to have had our big day captured so beautifully! Allison is an absolute delight to work with - she is very organized and professional but also flexible, warm, and very down to Earth. She really helped us feel very prepared for our plans the day of, and helped us feel relaxed throughout the day to capture photos of us truly in our element. The way that Allison is able to capture the energy of certain moments and pull together the story of our wedding day is truly magical, and the results are truly stunning. Her flexible pricing structure is extremely helpful and appreciated as well. To boot, she shared some of the first pictures with us the day after the wedding, and delivered the whole packet within a month!! She is incredible. You absolutely won't regret hiring Allison as your wedding photographer or a photographer for any special event!!!

  Allison was such a wonderful photographer to work with. She easily wrangled our families f for group photos, and captured so many wonderful moments throughout our night. She also got our wedding photos back to us more quickly than expected! Could not have been happier with her!
