We loved working with Allen for our wedding photography! He is professional, detail oriented and extremely efficient! It was clear he knew our venue (the Nasher Sculpture Center) well, as he navigated the garden and varying light with such precision.
He worked quickly to accommodate all photos before ceremony - one of our biggest asks, which I'm sure was difficult with our large family.
We're so excited to get a peak at our wedding photos and relive this special moment. Would highly recommend!

I Was Never Going to Entertain Any Other Photographer
My first experience with Allen Tsai was when he photographed my sister's wedding. My sister herself, is a photographer. The second time I heard his name was at my best friend's wedding. HER photographer had also used Allen Tsai for her wedding. I decided to take some time and followed Allen's presence on social media and the internet. Turns out he's VERY decorated and has been featured a lot in publications. His clients are worldwide, and all the photographers I respect want HIM for the THEIR weddings. If he's the professional that all the other professionals use, I knew I was never going to entertain any other photographer.
The second I got engaged, I told my wedding planner we had to secure Allen. And that's what we did. THANK GOD because it takes a special photographer to handle everything an everyone that was, My Wedding.
I got married in Downtown Dallas and my wedding had very "city" vibes. I didn't want to have every "conventional" wedding party shot, and so I had tasked Allen with the burden of making my wedding photos look like "something off the cover of Vanity Fair." Not typically his route for weddings, and also confined to a VERY tight timeline, somehow, Allen was able to execute my vision.
More than that, every shot from the reception is PERFECT. The lighting was consistent in every shot (and let me tell you, the lights from the stage and darkness of the room was all over the place that night). He captured beautiful portraits, but also grabbed very intimate moments between myself and my husband, our friends, and our family - shots that we didn't know anyone was watching. The photos were edited and turned in record time (amazing considering he shoots digitally AND in film) and the gallery of proofs was enormous. This was so important because I've heard HORROR stories from friends whose galleries were pitifully small since the photographer didn't have very good content to return. The gallery is easy to use navigate and he even offers printing services (huge if your local pharmacy does a bad job with prints). Here is my biggest jaw-drop of the experience: Allen worked alone. My wedding had around 225 guests and you would have thought (based on the photos) that he had at least two assistants.
Finally, Allen is also just awesome to work with. He's kind and dedicated to his craft, and he is so respectful and polite. He rocked my wedding and I'm so glad we hired him.

The best of the best!
Allen really is the best of the best and we are so thankful to have had him capture our big day! He was such a pleasure to work with and his photos truly left us speechless! He was sure to capture every little moment and detail and we are so happy that we placed our trust in Allen for the photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
I have had the pleasure to work with Allen a few times and gotten to see his final works on weddings we did together. I must say this man has a miraculous eye for detail and it shows in all of his photos.
