Allie is truly a spectacular gem, and we feel grateful to have worked with her. We hired Allie for our winter wedding in Chicago. From the very beginning, Allie was (and still is) our biggest cheerleader. Her genuine excitement and positive attitude throughout wedding planning was invaluable. During our engagement photoshoot, she was a natural - she made us feel at ease, comfortable and happy. We had heard that engagement photos can be awkward - but oh no, with Allie, they are just FUN. She truly went above and beyond during that session. The photos are STUNNING - we received SO many compliments on them, which made us even more excited to have a full day with her at the wedding! Leading up to the wedding, Allie was organized, responsive and handled all inquiries with grace. Even though Allie hadn't shot much in Chicago, it was obvious that she took the time to research the city and brainstorm ideas for our big day. When the day arrived, Allie came flying into the room with a huge smile and an energy that was contagious. She was proactive, attentive, creative, resourceful, and more. Anyone knows that weddings can be stressful, but Allie did not once show any concern or stress; she was simply having the best time ever with us. To be specific, the weather was incredibly freezing at our outdoor location - Allie had her list of shots we needed and powered through them so that we could move to our indoor location. There was no hesitation and we fully trusted her to get what we needed. Allie worked with an assistant photographer and the two of them always knew who was shooting where/what - they were both a dream. Allie even stayed later at the reception than her contracted time; it made us want to cry that she had gone above and beyond to capture every last moment for us. The next day, Allie sent many GORGEOUS sneak peeks. Her photography talent is impeccable. The photos are classic, bright, timeless and elegant. We are lucky to have worked with Allie during this once in a lifetime experience, and would highly recommend her to anyone!!

I am SO glad I found Allie! A coworker recommended her to me when my husband and I got engaged. I checked out her portfolio and I absolutely fell in love with her style, the way she captured people in such a fun, cheery way. My husband and I have had such a positive experience with her from the moment we reached out to her about wedding photography, through our engagement shoot and all the way to receiving our wedding gallery. I truly love each and every photo and I have a hard time choosing which ones to print because they are all amazing!

Allie was so much fun to work with and made my husband and I feel comfortable during our engagement shoot and our wedding day. I really think she added so much value to our wedding experience. For anyone looking for a photographer to capture any of life's important moments I would HIGHLY recommend Allie. I can't wait to work with her again in the future!

I just had my engagement photos taken by Allie of ABR Photography and I cannot stop looking at them! I am officially obsessed. :) There's so many awesome shots that I can't even choose just one favorite. Our photo shoot was so much fun- Allie has an amazing energy about her and her genuine excitement and enthusiasm is contagious! She made us feel so comfortable and had so many great ideas for unique, beautiful photos. I highly recommend her for any type of photo shoot, especially for engagement and wedding photography. A+!!!
