About

Hey, everybody, I'm glad you took the time to check out my business page! Allyson Washington Photography is a Black-owned and disabled run business established in 2013. I started my business when I was living out of my car with absolutely nothing but my camera, my laptop, and a dream of being a business owner. To honor that ambitious young woman who knew what she wanted in life and worked to build a business out of nothing; I continue to keep my prices low. I don't want people to have to take out a second mortgage to get quality photos of one of the most beautiful days of their life.

And, as many of my clients will attest, I'm not only there to be your photographer but I'm there to be a supportive helper throughout the process. I've changed diapers; stepped in as the wedding coordinator, and I've even made a quick dress for the flower girl out of bridesmaids robes and hotel decor flowers. Need to glue sequins on all of your name cards the night before the wedding? Give me a call and I'll come to help with snacks. Forgot the safety pins? I bring an emergency kit with me on the day of the wedding with everything from aspirin to a handheld sewing machine. For me, being a wedding photographer means caring for the client before, during, and well after the wedding.

I'm also incredibly flexible with payment plans and I will work with you to help you find what you need. I can create customizable payment plans that will support any schedule you see fit. Because things happen and expenses pop up between the time you say "yes" to the time you say "I do".

Check out my pricing packages on the pricing section of this page and, if I'm a perfect fit, shoot me a message. If not, let's see if we can find something that works for you.

Cheers!

All I have to say is...Hire this lady!

My husband and I hired Allyson Washington to shoot our rehearsal dinner and wedding, in Baltimore, over the weekend of September 12, 2021.

From the beginning of the planning process through to the end of the reception Ally was phenomenal. She listened to our perspective, needs, and last minute requests. She had a plethora of tips and advice to make sure our photos came out perfect. I specifically wanted her to capture the small, often overlooked, moments. As we are now reviewing the first set of photos she has released to us, she captured all these and more.

Our wedding party was ages ~4 weeks to 70+ years and wide range of skin tones. Ally understood the challenges that come with photographing such a diverse variety of people and made the experience fun for everyone. I had several guests comment to me on how much they enjoyed her demeanor when she was photographing them.

As a bride, this weekend was 10x more stressful that I had imagined (yes, even more intense than I assumed) and having Ally by my side was an unexpected blessing. She had such a calm and positive presence, which I greatly appreciated then and now.

Overall, the photos Ally took are wonderful and she is a great person to boot. I will certainly hire her again if I ever need professional photos taken.

Thank you Ally!

Allyson felt like part of the family, in a really good way

Allyson was amazing, from first contact to our wedding day. I can't speak highly enough of her artistic eye, her overall friendly demeanor, or her professionalism... You absolutely won't go wrong hiring her! My husband and I are not particularly photogenic, but yet we love how she made us look, without looking overly posed. She integrated into our family so well that my grandmother thought we had been friends for a long time! It really just added to the magic of the day!

Awesome and personable photographer.

We hired Allyson for our wedding and from the first meeting with her, we knew that she was the perfect photographer for us. I would heartily recommend her to any of my friends or family who were interested in photography services. The pictures came out perfect.
