Hire if you want THE BEST! And affordable!

Where do I even begin? Allison has become a friend to me throughout our wedding planning. She is obviously the greatest talent, you don’t need me to tell you that (go check out her instagram). She is so knowledgeable and trustworthy, and has a certain presence about her that just calms you. Every bride needs an Allison! Ha! We knew we loved her when she went exploring with us for our engagement session. Knocked those out of the park. But then we went through replanning our wedding three times and eventually moving it across states - a total nightmare...#covidbride. Allison was always available for me to call and bounce things off of, and was great about taking me through our options. She was just so patient with us. I cannot imagine our day without her and really don’t know if it would’ve come to fruition without her steady presence through this entire process. I could talk about her insane talent all day, but I want you to know that beyond that she’s is an amazing human who cares so deeply that her couples are happy. She has seriously bent over backwards several times for us. We are forever grateful to have found her! I cannot say enough great things about her, she’s just the best!

An investment you can be confident about

Working with Allison is nothing short of a fantastic experience!

She helped me do our timeline for the wedding day and kept things moving right along that day without coming across as bossy and pushy. We even got behind a little (all the people who have watched girls get ready said amen), and she wasn't phased. She flipped some things on the timeline at the drop of the hat and never once seemed overwhelmed, stressed or annoyed. If anything she was kind, encouraging and sweet.

She catches the most incredible, emotional detail and looking through our photos, nothing feels posed, unnatural or forced. She hangs back when organic moments are happening and captures them beautifully, and then steps in when you need direction. There are so many photos from our wedding day where I see it and say, "Oh wow! I didn't even realize she was there." or "Holy cow! I'm realy glad she got that because otherwise I would have never seen it."

Your wedding photos are an investment, and she doesn't take that responsibility lightly, and what she delivers is beyond what you would ever expect. We're coming up on our 1 year anniversary, and we are still receiving compliments on how beautiful our photos are. If photo is an important priority for you on your wedding day - look no further.

We are so blessed.

Allison is the sweetest, most dedicated, and thoughtful person. Her passion for the Lord and for capturing the most precious moments for couples, is certainly her gift. She photographed my husband and I's wedding and we couldn't have found a better person to capture our special day. We are beyond blessed to have found sweet Allison!

I can’t say enough good things about Allison. She is professional and kind. Never once did we feel uncomfortable with her, even though posing for wedding photos is kind of an awkward thing to do. Her work is amazing.

One of the most talented photographers I know. She not only has an eye for portrait photography, but also landscape, which was a big deal for me when having her take both my engagement and wedding photos. She makes the entire experience so easy and comfortable, and has an eye for different and unique shots. She is prompt and responsive, and the sweetest human being you will ever meet. USE ALLISON AS YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER, hands down!! I will be using her for the rest of my life, whether it be a seasonal session, anniversary, or family shots. Thank you for being the best Allison!

Allison photographed our wedding back in July and she did absolutely amazing! Weeks leading up to the wedding my husband and I met with her to discus what we were looking for in our photos and the details of the big day. She was very interested in our ideas and on the day of the wedding I had zero worries. She is a naturally gifted photographer who exemplifies the Lord through her work, and loves what she does. Our wedding pictures turned out beautifully and I highly recommend her!

If you are looking for an incredible photographer who exemplifies quality, kindness, and humility, then you won't find anyone better than Allison Stanley with Finding Eden Photography! When we began our search, we obviously wanted a good photographer, but even more than that, we wanted someone who was personable, committed, passionate, and all together fun. We wanted someone who we could see ourselves hanging out with in a non-professional setting. We also needed someone that could be available on very short notice considering we had a two month engagement. Meeting her for the first time felt so natural. She was exceptionally polite, kind, and eager to hear our ideas about our day and what we wanted. She maintained consistent communication with us leading up to the date to reassure us that we had nothing to worry about. The day of our wedding she laughed with us, asked for our input, kept it light, and made it fun. We were so impressed with how well she interacted with everyone in the wedding. It seemed as if she was there as a part of our family, which made the day go by smoother and the pictures come out better.

We loved Allison and recommend her not just locally, but globally. She is willing to travel wherever and go the extra mile to ensure your day is just how you imagined it. We would get married again tomorrow knowing that Allison was going to shoot it.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
