Her work is beautiful and cohesive. She was very flexible with our schedule and so helpful in picking out locations. She even went out of her way to finish the photographs before Christmas so we could also use them for our holiday card. We can't wait for her to photograph our wedding in June!

We absolutely LOVED having Allie capture our once-in-a-lifetime celebration. It would have been enough to just have her beautiful, detail-oriented photos from the wedding day, but what made working with Allie so much fun is that she is an incredibly kind, warm, and patient person. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know her over the past several months! Leading up to the big day, we met her for an engagement session - which was awesome, despite it being a freezing Chicago day - and she helped us plan all the details for the photos. On our wedding day, she made sure we got all the photos we wanted, which was so important because the chaos of the wedding day made it challenging to ensure every moment was captured. In addition to beautiful photos of us and our loved ones, her photos captured the beauty of our venue. In short-- Stop searching and hire Allie!!!! (Also, we absolutely recommend having your wedding on a rainy or freezing day, because Allie will somehow make it look gorgeous. She’s magic!)

I cannot say enough about how absolutely amazing Allie is! She is everything you could possibly ask for in a talented, professional, kind, and intuitive wedding photographer. Going into wedding planning, my partner and I had a pretty strong vision for the kind of party we wanted to throw, and Allie totally got it. She understood our references and inspiration, which helped her to know what sort of shots we'd want captured. The gallery she delivered was 100% divine and artful and completely aligned with our aesthetic.

On our wedding day, I was definitely a bit anxious about being photographed, but Allie put not only me, but my partner and our wedding party, at ease. She was complimentary over how initial shots were coming out, and her excitement over our looks and locations was super contagious. She perfectly strode the line of giving plenty of thoughtful direction while remaining encouraging and positive. Allie was a calming presence on an otherwise hectic day, which was exactly what I needed.

Just a couple days after our wedding, Allie delivered a beautiful preview of our photo gallery. She included the best and most important moments of our ceremony and reception, but also the more editorial setups we had chatted about that she knew I was excited to see. The preview collection of photos was exactly was I wanted to share on social media, and had myself (and friends and family) chomping at the bit for the complete set.

When Allie shared our photo gallery in full, it took my parter and me a few full days to click through and notice the details of every shot and edit. Anytime I wondered if she included a version of a special moment in black and white, there it was! Her retouching and lighting are natural and un-clockable, and every shot is framed beautifully. She delivered us almost 2,000 incredible photos, which have already inspired countless reminiscences and memories of our celebration.

From our initial consultation, to rescheduling due to the pandemic, to receiving our full photo gallery, Allie made everything easy, fun, and lovely. Anyone getting married (or celebrating any life moment) would be lucky to get to work with Allie.
