About

I grew up in the Disneyland town of Anaheim, CA. I've received my BA in Film Production at Cal State Northridge, and currently I reside in Long Beach, CA. I am married to to the coolest guy there ever was (who also happens to by my 2nd shooter at weddings!). Allison Bird Photography has been my freelance business for over 7 years now, so I've had lots of experience with the toughest of subjects. Events & weddings are my favorite because each one is different, never the same thing twice. My favorite place in the world is Joshua Tree, CA. Close second would be Big Sur, CA. I love to travel and go camping when I get free time.

I'm all about capturing those invaluable moments and finding beauty in unlikely places. The seemingly meaningless small moments always turn out to be the best photos. I’m motivated by the love and laughter in the people that I photograph. I like to document a story as it’s being told naturally, without interfering. I want to get to know you while we shoot because it’s important I tell your story. I want you to feel comfortable. I want to give people images that reflect who they are and the love that they feel for one another. I get to photograph people in the most important moments of their lives, and for that, I’m grateful

Absolutely the Best

Our wedding day was the best day of our lives and Allison and Josh made it even better by capturing all of the moments with absolutely stunning photos. They went above and beyond to ensure that they caught all of those moments with their photos. They have the best energy and made us feel very comfortable. They made the entire process extremely enjoyable with their creativity and great personalities. We had such a great time working with them and would love to work with them again in the future. We highly recommend Allison Bird Photography as they are a wonderful wife and husband team

Allison is an amazing photographer!

Allison Bird is wonderful for any kind of portrait photos you need! She first did my graduation photos a few years back and they came out amazing. I then asked her to take some headshots for me for LinkedIn, and when I got engaged I knew I HAD to have her do our engagement photos! They came out amazing, and she edited them very quickly so I could see the results right away.
I also asked her to do boudoir photos for me for a present for my husband before the wedding and I love them! It was such a fun experience.
Her pricing is a great value, and she really wants to make sure you get exactly what you have in mind for your perfect photos. She's the best!! I highly recommend her for engagement photos - she made my fiancé feel super comfortable in front of the camera when he usually is not.
Thanks so much Allison!

Phenomenal

My husband and I are BEYOND happy/satisfied with our photos from our wedding. Allison and her husband, Josh, made us both feel so comfortable, and were very attentive in making our vision/dream, a reality. I cannot express our gratitude enough. They’re both so sweet, down to earth, and very professional. They will do anything and everything to make your dreams come true. They were prompt, and made sure to capture every moment, every smile, and everyone’s happiness that day. We were not only so overwhelmed with love that day, but we’re so blessed to have had Allison and Josh take our pictures. They honestly captured every detail. The one picture I absolutely had to have was a picture of a hummingbird because they remind me of my grandma, who is no longer with us. After asking throughout the day, they still had not found her. We met up with Allison after the ceremony to sign our marriage license. She’d mentioned Josh had disappeared for a bit, and she couldn’t figure out where he was or where he’d go. As we finished signing our license, Allison saw him walking toward us and asked where he’d been. He walked over to me and my husband to show us that he’d found her. He showed us the pictures he’d taken of a beautiful hummingbird that had landed, and was overseeing the venue. At that moment, I was so overwhelmed with love and gratitude I couldn’t help but give him the biggest hug ever! And of course, me being the emotional kind, I shed a happy tear or two. They’re an amazing couple to work with, and being married themselves, makes it a more comfortable, and relaxing, and overall fun experience. They were a blessing to us, and I would strongly recommend them for weddings, or any special life events. I would love to work with them again, and most definitely will book them again for anything else we’ll need for events in the future. You’re in good hands with these guys. They’re amazing and I can’t express that enough.

We hired Allison to shoot our engagement photos, and we knew instantly that we wanted her for our wedding too. Allison was so professional and flexible with our schedules. She was always quick to respond to emails/texts, and was incredibly easy to work with. She captured every moment we wanted and more. During our wedding ceremony, she was able to get great photos without any disruption to the flow. We hardly knew she was there! We received digital copies of all of our photos by the time we were back from the honeymoon. We love Allison's work so much, we hired her to take holiday photos (which turned out beautiful), and will continue to call her when we need family photos or event photos.

Allison really went above and beyond for my husband and I's elopement. She brought both digital and film cameras, AND had her assistant help shoot some footage on a Super 8 camera we brought along. Did I mention we got married on the beach in a MONSOON and our pictures came out lovely, sharp, focused, and full of energy. She and her wonderful assistant Josh also acted as our witnesses, so we are forever grateful. Our wedding would not have been what is was without them being there!

I cannot say enough about Allison Bird Photography. I want to start by saying that I work in the Wedding Industry, and I work with vendors for weddings and special events everyday, so I am particularly picky about customer service and vendor professionalism during an event. You will be blown away with the professionalism, and exceptional customer service that you receive when you work with Allison Bird Photography- I certainly was!
Allison and Josh shot our wedding in February 2016, and we could not have been happier with the results. We initially used Allison Bird Photography for our engagement pictures in Newport Beach, and fell in love with her creativity, and ability to make us feel so comfortable during the shoot. The pictures turned out absolutely amazing (making it so hard to choose only a few for our save the date, and other wedding details).
Allison and Josh were so professional leading up to our wedding-they were very responsive, helpful with coming up with creative/unique ideas for shots, and made the process of selecting the shots that we wanted for our wedding day very easy. On our wedding day (we got married at The 1909 in Topanga Canton), both Allison and Josh were professional, quick to think on the spot with some really creative/absolutely amazing pictures, and made the day SO MUCH FUN! After our wedding, I shared our wedding photos with friends and family, and to this day, I am still receiving compliments on how beautiful our pictures turned out. I want to thank the Allison Bird Photography team for all of your kindness, support, and just all around wonderful experience throughout the process of our wedding planning. Thank you for capturing our love, and all of our wedding details on the most special day of our lives. We will certainly continue to use Allison Bird Photography in the future for events and important moments in life :) you have made a forever fan!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
