Connecticut & New England
Some of the most meaningful moments are the ones you never see coming.
It's about the people who show up for you, the moments you never saw coming, and the memories you'll carry long after the day is over. The laughter, the tears, the familiar faces, and the little things you didn't even realize were happening.
I believe the best photographs come from being able to truly enjoy your wedding day, rather than feeling like you're constantly being photographed.
My approach combines documentary storytelling with an editorial eye, capturing the moments as they naturally unfold while offering direction when it's needed. The result is a collection of photographs that not only tells the story of your wedding day, but feels like you.

Hi, I’m Allison!
IT’S SO NICE TO MEET YOU
I’m a photographer of big love, little moments, happy chaos, and everything in between. I’m here for the moments you planned for, all the good stuff you didn’t see coming, so you can hold onto it all a little longer.

“Allison and John captured the day perfectly. She was able to get stunning photos of our guests and all of the little moments throughout the day along with the big ones. The pictures tell the entire story and I feel like I'm reliving it all each time I go through them. Outside of her talent, she is the best person to have around you all day. It felt like we had known her forever! Our guests loved both Allison and John, we got so many compliments. HIRE THEM!!”

"I don’t even know where to begin… I had never met Allison before our engagement shoot and I was wicked nervous for some reason while we were at the site. I’ve never done a photo shoot or anything like this before and I was worried it would look forced and staged… the second Allison got out of her car and ran up and gave me a hug I instantly felt relaxed.. the engagement shoot was so fun and easy and the pictures were more than I imagined! Then came the wedding day of course my nerves kicked in again (I hate all eyes on me) but again the second Allison walked into my room they instantly went away! Her second shooter John was amazing too! He and the guys got along great! They were so easy to work with, they were open to my ideas and I was open to any they had! The pictures were amazing and they are memories we can cherish forever! They fit in perfectly and felt like family! I can’t wait to work with her in the future for baby shoots/family shoots!"

"Simply stunning! There are just not enough words to describe how wonderful my experience was with Allison. I have worked with Allison multiple times over the years and every single experience is nothing short of amazing. I had a vision of my wedding day and the way she captured every tender moment, all the happy tears, and the fun dance moves is more than I could have asked for. Not only is she extremely talented, she is fantastic to work with. Truly a kind person who will go above and beyond to create exactly what your vision is. I can’t wait for my next photo session with her. Thank you Allison!"
— Maggie, former bride
