Amazing photographer!

John Allen is an amazing photographer! He was super friendly and worked really hard to get all the photos we wanted. He even did a little parkour to get the right angle for some pictures. He worked with our videographer as well, and they did a great job at getting everything without getting in the way of each other. We are so excited to see the final pictures and know they will be amazing!

10/10 Absolute gem, no stress - best experience!

When researching photographers I came across many profiles displaying work that looked to be overpriced and gauche quality. When I saw John's work I immediately fell in a TRANCE. The shots he takes are so much more than your event photos - they are truly works of art that capture EMOTION. He also edits phenomenally, they're not fake looking/overdone and not "cookie-cutter".

We loved the date 11/22, so I literally had only days to plan our elopement. John was my #1, but I knew calling him with only 5 days notice was ludicrous (I was banking on the fact that the date was a Monday). He replied to my voicemail immediately with a text to let me know he was currently on a shoot, but that he would call me later to discuss details (GREAT communication - it took so much stress off of me). We scheduled some pre-event calls (even one with my husband present) because he TRULY cares about giving ya'll the vision you're hoping for. He went above and beyond by even scoping out different shooting locations downtown PRIOR to the wedding. He texted us videos of possible shooting locations 2 days prior to the event! One was a gorgeous rooftop that no one would know about. Those particular photos were insanely great.

He was on time, made everyone there feel comfortable in front of the camera, took as many family combo pictures we wanted, took us around downtown to his desired locations, etc. He sent the final digital album within the timeframe he quoted.

Anyway - I could seriously go on forever. I hope you're able to scroll through his work and appreciate his artistry. He is worth 10x what he is charging, trust me.

Friendly, Intuitive, and Talented

After reaching out to John, my wife and I scheduled a meet-up with him at a cafe in Austin so that we could get to know each other before the wedding day. Immediately, we were blown away by his artistic dedication and the deep connection that he builds with his clients; this connection results in the gorgeous photography that comes easy to him. He knows how to capture the brightest of smiles as well as the most intimate of embraces. My wife and I are inspired by John's skill, and we are grateful to have had him capture the most wonderful moments of our lives.

Hi, I'm John Allen!

After spending 10 years in the corporate finance world I've decided to take a chance and follow my passion. I've been taking photographs for as long as I can remember and have been shooting weddings since 2018.

Words to describe working with me: laidback, fun, flexible, reliable, funny. and aware.

Things that excite me: road trips with the windows down, film photography, TASCHEN books, turning the iPhone off sometimes, lo-fi hip hop, National Parks, taking care of the environment, skateboard/surf culture, and most importantly coffee :)
