Allison did our engagement, wedding, and boudoir photos and we couldn't have been happier! Photography was the most important thing to us for our wedding and we knew right away when we met her that she was the right choice. Her work is absolutely stunning. She is so creative and always had so many awesome ideas. She did such a wonderful job of capturing the moment and there was a perfect blend of candid and formal photos. They belong in a magazine! We had so much fun and we absolutely love her!

While searching for a photographer for my wedding, I stumbled across Allison's work through her website and was very impressed. Allison's style is candid (photojournalism style) interspersed with posed shots (or formals), but the formals are never stuffy or awkward. We met her in person and discovered she has an awesome personality: laidback, a bit goofy, and very comfortable to be around. We booked her right then.

It was a pleasure getting to know Allison better during the engagement pictures. She quickly put us at ease, and we laughed a lot. She was always responsive when we had questions, and she works quickly. My wedding was 9/25/09 and my pictures were posted online on 10/20/09. I've already had TONS of compliments on them, barely one day later. I LOVE how they turned out. They totally capture the emotion of that day. I can't wait to pick my favorites for the album!

Other details: Her second photographer is her husband Chris, who is just as sweet and funny as she is (a lot of the girls totally had crushes on him). Her prices are extremely reasonable when you consider what's included in the package, the high quality of her work, and the going rates for other photographers in the DC area. Our guests loved her. I would highly recommend Allison for your wedding :-)

We can't say enough good things about Allison and her work! She's super easy to get in touch with and has a really fun and vibrant personality. Her pictures speak for themselves - she does a great job of catching special moments and details in a way that's modern and creative. She's all about trying new things and being adventurous, which makes for many fabulous engagement and wedding pictures. We felt totally comfortable on the day of the wedding with her and her team. They were extremely unobtrusive but exactly where they needed to be the entire time such that our gallery of over 700 photos painted a wonderful and complete picture of the entire day. Our family and friends think her work is just stunning and that the photos do a great job of catching the emotions and spirit of the celebration.

From the first time we met with Allison, we were so excited to work with her. Photography was the one element of our wedding we really wanted to take our time with and do our research on to make sure we got the best possible. She brought several albums of some recent weddings she had done, and they were exactly what we were looking for - candid, emotional, beautiful photos. We had our engagement photo session in the Inner Harbor, and Allison brought her husband Chris as a second shooter. They were so fun to work with, and were definitely up for anything. They took us all around the city and knew exactly where to get the best shots. The photos turned out amazing, and that made us even more excited for our wedding photos.

On the wedding day, Allison showed up right on time to take some 'getting ready' shots. I thought it might be a little strange having someone with a camera walking around the house, but she made everyone feel very comfortable and honestly, you never would have known she was there! She and her second shooter captured some amazing shots at the ceremony. At the reception, Allison always seemed to be at the right place at the right time, and we have some memorable photos of our friends and family. She took some really fun shots during the cocktail hour with the bridal party that we absolutely love (go for the jumping shot!). She had our proofs up shortly after we returned from our honeymoon, and we were just blown away. They look like they're right out of a bridal magazine! They're simply stunning. Allison is a true photojournalist, and really captured the intimate style we were looking for. Every time we look through our photos, we feel like we're right back in the moment. She was great to work with - highly, highly recommended!

Allison is awesome! She is so much fun to work with, very laid back and kept everyone at ease. She had us laughing all day, which shows in our pictures. Her images are absolutely amazing. Her rates are about the same as other photographers in the area, but she has a second shooter she works with, so you get twice the amount of coverage for the same rate. She's very responsive to emails and phone calls and flexible with scheduling times to get together. Highly recommended! A+++++

Allison was awesome! We couldn't have asked for more. You spend so much time with your photographer at one of the most emotional moments of your life that you need someone with a great personality (not annoying, snippy, etc.). And Allison has that GREAT personality! She was really considerate, thoughtful, nice, etc. And the other thing you need is great photos when it's all over. And, with Allison, you will definitely get those, too! I am SO happy with our photos. I will treasure them for a lifetime.

Allison is wonderful to work with! She takes amazing photos and has a fun personality that makes the experience inspiring and cool. She caught many great facial expressions and did some wonderful poses with us. She and her second photographer were always nearby taking photos and yet they weren't intrusive at all! I highly recommend her photography for anyone who wants beautiful, memorable photos!

Allison was great to work with. She did our e-pics and wedding and we are very pleased with her work. She was super easy-going and fun and made us feel really comfortable during e-session so we could be ourselves. For the wedding, both of our families are used to have formal shots so we had a list for her and she was able to accommodate everything. But everyone agreed that it was the candid moment shots that really captured all of the emotions at the wedding. All of our guests were very impressed with the photos. I love how she's so good at making the colors pop. The assistant she brought with her was also very nice. She posted the proofs online within 3 weeks and made a nice slide show for us too so it was easy to share the pics with our families and friends. We highly recommend her.

I cannot possibly say enough good things about Allison and the talented folks she works with. Photography was our #1 priority, and we chose our photographer very carefully. We could not have made a better choice than Allison, even if we'd spent several thousand dollars more (I looked in a huge price range-- Allison's work was simply the best). Her work is amazing, and, unlike others I have seen, she creates literally hundreds of fantastic photos, not just a few good ones and many mediocre ones. We love (LOVE LOVE) our photos so much, we are having trouble deciding which ones to put in the album!

We are so grateful that we will forever have the many priceless photos of our family and friends. A wedding day is not a day you get to "do over" if the pictures don't come out well. With Allison, you don't have to worry about a thing-- she always takes great photos, and is kind and funny and unobtrusive and professional. I strongly recommend you hire A Britton Photography for your wedding!

Allison truly has an eye to capture the most beautiful moments. My wedding party and guests were very comfortable with Allison and her staff. They were helpful when needed and knew when to stay behind the scenes. My photos are so beautiful and will remain keepsakes forever. Allison is very timely in response to emails or phone calls. She is relaxed and makes you feel at ease. Her after wedding responsiveness has been great too. I have not finished my album order, but I am already holding all of my proofs and a CD in my hand. They were delivered within a month of my wedding. Proofs were posted online within 3 weeks of the wedding. I was able to share my wedding with family and friends online. It has been a pleasure to work with Allison.

Allison is everything you could want in a photographer. The quality of the images she captures is astounding. Allison is great to work with and very flexible and responsive. She creates very professional work while making you feel comfortable and at ease with her. Her packages are a great value and it really is worth it to have someone that is able to really capture the essence such a cherished event. My mom, who did not cry at the wedding, found that the slideshow was so moving that she could not control the waterworks. I am so thrilled with images and would recommend Allison to anyone I know. We also did a Trash the Dress session about a month after the wedding and it was not only a blast but also she took the most amazing pictures of us. They are both romantic and fun. We are really lucky to have found such and great photographer and such an awesome chick!
