Allison took amazing pictures. She did a wonderful job of capturing those expressions on peoples faces that make them uniquely them. She also put together a lovely slideshow at the end that my friends and family just loved.

Allison is an amazing photojournalist. I haven't seen the full album yet but I have seen previews and the pictures are amazing. If you're looking for someone to tell the story of your wedding day through pictures, she is definitely your girl. She is professional but easy going. On the wedding day, she was there from the time I was getting dressed until after the cake cutting and she never got in anyone's way once. She is definitely not intrusive but makes sure to get all the most important shots. The only reason I didn't give her 5 stars on the responsiveness is because she does travel a lot for the newspaper she works for so sometimes it takes about a week to get a response but she does always respond! Very reliable and actually she confirmed everything the week of the wedding and showed up early to make sure she had plenty of time. I would highly recommend her!! She's absolutely fantastic.

Allison is amazing. She shot Tom's and my wedding back in 2006, and we love our photos! She has a true gift for capturing action and candid moments, and doing so beautifully. I would consider her one of the best photographers in the DC metro area. Additionally, as a true working photojournalist, Allison frequently devotes her time to documenting and telling the stories of everyday people around the world, who don't necessarily have a voice. I believe it's her adventurous spirit, and huge heart that have taken her down this path, and she fulfills her responsibility with a passionate sense of duty. We not only feel lucky to have had her photograph our wedding, but also to know her -- she is a truly remarkable person.

I have worked with Allison a few times over the last year and her attention to detail is incredible. She keeps herself involved and detailed throughout the event. She is easily accessible and always ready at a moments notice when following a timeline ( A DeeJay's savior at a wedding reception). Would highly recommend her to any potential bride!
