    Allison is an extremely talented photographer. I had been following her work for over 3 years (before I even met my fiance)! It was always my plan to use her as my wedding photographer because I had never seen a photographer truly tell a story through pictures like Allison. She has an amazing eye and captures the most organic, captivating moments behind her lens. We have only done our engagement session at this point and it was flawless. We loved every single picture. Her talent is truly one of a kind and I couldn’t be more excited to see how she will tell our story on our wedding day.

    We had a private ceremony with my now husband and our two children. The ceremony was a surprise to our kids. Allison was amazing and we spoke many times before the ceremony because our vision of our day was non-traditional, to say the least.
    She captured the most amazing, intimate moments. She captured everything I hoped for. The most anticipated photo was the face of my little girl when she found out we were not only getting married, but getting married right then and there.
    The photographs were beyond perfect. She was beyond a 5 star rating. I will use her for future family sessions, but would express how important this financial investment is.

    Allison was a fantastic photographer! I met her during another wedding and knew I wanted her to help me during my wedding...so happy that I did! Two things really stand out about Allison over other photographers: first, her sweet spirit! She make you feel comfortable and enjoys the wedding journey with you! Allison is a joy to work with! And second, her photos capture the genuine and natural moment. We are very pleased with the photos and would highly recommend Allison Marie Photography to you!

    I knew I wanted Allison to be a part of our wedding the minute I ran across her beautiful photography and was happy to learn she was available! We planned our KC wedding from out of state, but working with Allison was easy – she was very responsive and always available to answer any questions that came up. She’s very organized and on top of everything – she has her process down! On the day of, Allison was energized, professional, and 100% dedicated to capturing our day. She made us feel comfortable. I love all the little detail shots she took – things you work so hard on, but don’t necessarily get to take in the day of. We’ve gotten many compliments on the quality of our photos. We love looking back on the “story” of our wedding. Highly recommend Allison.

    Allison was so much fun to work with! She did my bridal session and captured our entire wedding day from getting dressed through the reception. She was also the person we met with for our pre-wedding planning meeting.
    She and her second shooter did a great job of incorporating all the people involved in our wedding as well as all the mementos throughout our day. During the wedding, they got some great shots while not intruding on the sanctity of the ceremony. She also did a great job organizing our families during all of the official family shots taken before the wedding started. Between the wedding and the reception, we took our large wedding party to a few locations in town that she had scouted out. We got unique wedding party photos at these locations because Allison was fantastic at keeping us organized while ensuring we were having a fun time and were on schedule.
    Most of all, she's an amazing artist. Her photographs captured the big and small moments of our day along with all the emotions that were shared. She also created a beautiful album for us that everyone has admired.

    There isn't enough I can say that will do justice to how amazing and awesome it was to have Allison photograph our wedding. She has an extremely happy and bubbly personality, makes you feel comfortable from the very beginning, and you can tell she wants to make your wedding photos exceptional so that you will feel like you are re-living your day every time you look back on them. She was the first vendor we booked, and it was the best decision I made wedding wise.

    Other than the choice to marry the groom, the BEST decision I made about my wedding (and that says alot, because I LOVED most of my vendors.)
    I was an out of state bride so I didn't have a personal referral or know anyone. I started perusing photographers in KC and found Allison's website and blog and immediately fell in love with her photos. I contacted her, and she was just as lovely as were her photos. She was easy to communicate with, and spent a lot of time getting to know us, which speaks volumes to the photos we now have. Through the process, she was a quick communicator, professional, so nice, and helpful- everything from planning the timeline of the event to vendor suggestions were amazing. She has the perfect demeanor- when I went back through my photos, there were moments she captured in which I wasn't even aware she was there- because she blended in so easily, but when she needed to take charge and get people in positions or change angles, she did so with ease. She managed to take everything into account-the lighting, body shapes and sizes, colors and textures and arrange portraits wonderfully. She made sure to position us in photos in ways to flatter us-- I loved how I never saw an unflattering photo or angle out of all 806 wedding images and about 300 engagement images because she is so amazingly talented. I put a lot of heart and soul into planning my wedding, and she captured everything. There isn't a detail she missed, which coming from a very detail oriented bride says so much. We received sneak peaks within 24 hours on social media, a blog post within a week and entire galeries in less than 2 weeks of our wedding.
    We have received countless compliments on all of our photos and I can't wait to display them in our home. Wedding photography is an investment, but one well worth it because at the end of the day, it's the one thing you have that help you relive the magic of the day and Allison couldn't have done a better job.

    We had the pleasure of working with Allison to photograph our wedding and our first born child. Allison is a true professional with a heart of gold and goes out of her way to make your day special and capture truly remarkable moments. During our wedding, she ensured that the day and photos focused on my husband and me while featuring our friends and family in fun and candid moments. Our wedding photos exceeded our expectations and we were able view a few images the very next day. We were also surprised by how quickly we received all the photos, which arrived in beautiful packaging.

    A year later when we found out that we were expecting our first child, we knew we wanted Allison to photograph the newest member of our family. The photos of our baby boy are amazing and widely distributed among our family and friends. Allison's style is timeless and the photos will definitely last a lifetime. We feel truly blessed that we were able to work with such a wonderful person and photographer for these monumental life events.

    I met Allison at a Bridal Fair and had an instant connection! Her photos speak for themselves as they are gorgeous, natural and typically look like they're straight out of a bridal magazine! She is so easy to work with and takes the time to get to know you and your personal style which she takes into account on the big day and for engagement photo ideas. I was so glad we selected her as she was just what we needed on the day of. She is very calming, but is also able to take charge in able to capture her vision! Also, the photo book she designed for us is perfection. Each page tells a story of each portion of our wedding day. We couldn't be happier with our photos and our expierence with Allison!

    My husband and I couldn't be happier with our decision to pick Allison Marie Photography to shoot our wedding! We knew going into the planning that photography was very important to us. We've had countless friends and family that ended up being disappointed in their wedding photography choices not only because of poor looking photos but from professionalism after the wedding and not receiving photos for up to a year after! Just not expectable. Allison was amazing from the start! We never had any issues. She was so welcoming, helpful and easy to work with. I have gotten endless complements on our wedding and engagement photos! One of the best parts is being able to see all your photos just 2 weeks after your wedding!! We will definitely enjoy having our amazing photos and wedding album for countless years to come.

    Choosing Allison to be our wedding photographer was the BEST decision I made...well, aside from saying yes to the groom! :) Allison's pictures are absolutely stunning. She is a brilliant artist with such a creative eye for detail. The photos she took were of the highest quality and I'm so happy with the way everything turned out! But perhaps even more wonderful than her beautiful pictures that captured our day was the fact that she was an absolute delight to work with! She made me feel so comfortable, like an old friend who was taking the pictures instead of a complete stranger. She really made an effort to get to know my fiance and I, as well as our families and everyone in the wedding party. I loved having her by my side for the entirety of the wedding day and would recommend her without reservation to anyone who wants gorgeous pictures and a phenomenal person to be near you on your wedding day!

    My wedding photographs were probably the most important thing to me when planning my wedding so I did not take choosing a photographer lightly. I looked at dozens of websites, blogs, and met with several photographers in person in the Kansas City area. I stumbled upon the most beautiful website when thumbing through "The Knot" when I found Allison Marie Photography. Her photographs captured exactly what I was looking for! So, we met with her and were so impressed with her work, professionalism, and just genuinely happy personality! Allison Wollenhaupt is such a sweetheart, it was easy to feel comfortable and trust her with the most important day of our lives. We were so pleased with our engagement photos and just overwhelmingly happy with our wedding photos. Allison's photographs provide a great balance of candid/artistic shots while also not missing a single detail or the more classic wedding shots. We are walking away with great memories and a gorgeous album. Even more surprising, we received all of our photos (over 900) within about 10 days of our wedding! That is unheard of in the wedding photography world!! I would highly recommend Allison Marie Photography to any bride!

    Allison was the wedding photographer for our wedding this June, we both loved her energy, knowledge of photography, and her flexibility. We were very impressed with how quickly our photos were edited and given to us. Allison would definitely be a great photographer for any couple to work with. She was available to answer any and all questions that we had, she was very keyed in to what we liked and wanted to do with our photos which allowed us to feel comfortable around her. I have already referred her to other couples that are looking for a wedding photographer! Our pictures are amazing and we will have them hanging in our home forever!

Your photos will last a lifetime!
