First of all - look no further, Allison is it so go ahead and book her. Not only were her photos absolutely amazing, but Allison's personality is so kind and fun that even from our first email I felt like I was talking with one of my friends which as a bride really put me at ease. From our engagement photos on the beach in 30+ mph winds - to our big day, Allison was very responsive, engaging, and open to any wild and crazy idea I may have add. Her photos are absolutely STUNNING and vibrant with the colors - seriously there's not a single wedding photo I don't like. My husband and I are also not a couple who like to pose for pictures and prefer candids, but she made us feel SO comfortable that posing just felt natural. By the end of our wedding night, Allison felt more like a friend than photographer and we were both sad to see her leave. So if you want someone with stunning work who feels just like a friend - look no further because Allison is it!

Allison was the first vendor I hired for our wedding and, along with our planner, the best decision we made.

What initially sold me was her incredible photography. What sold me next was the intake form on her website where she asked what Harry Potter house I was in… with a fifth option that said, “I hate Harry Potter and I hate fun.” I knew right then she not only took amazing photos, but was also someone I’d actually enjoy spending the day with.

And that matters more than you think.

I wanted someone who would make me feel comfortable and relaxed throughout our engagement shoot and wedding day, and Allison checked every box.

When we first met for our engagement shoot, I said, “Allison, I’m really awkward and don’t know what to do with my hands.” She immediately said, “I got you.” Not only did she guide me the entire time, but we even leaned into it and took a few joking photos -- which are now some of my favorites.

That’s the beauty of working with Allison -- the photos are not only stunning, but real.

Not just perfectly posed shots, but candid moments of us ugly laughing during speeches, singing, and fully being ourselves on the dance floor. She was completely on board with all of our ideas —from a fake first look with our best friend to my bridesmaids cutting their dresses at the end of the night to go dancing — and captured the entire day, and us, perfectly.

She felt like an extension of my bridal party -- more like a friend than a vendor.

Since the wedding, we’ve already hired her again. She’s that talented, and we’ll take any excuse to work with her!

Allison’s talent is only matched by how easy and fun it is to work with her. She has a knack for letting the moments with her breathe naturally but also can “herd the cats” to make sure the job gets done. We did two shoots with her, one for our engagement and one for our wedding day, and we could not be happier with the collection of photos we now have to remember this time in our lives forever.

For our engagement shoot, we had a very specific “vibe” we wanted to create. Allison helped us create the perfect day for it and added a few elements of her own that she knew would be a hit. Hanging out with Allison is warm and fun. She makes you feel comfortable and that comfort and warmth comes through in all of her photos.

On our wedding day, we were absolutely blown away by how efficient she was. Looking back at the photos, we were in disbelief that she was a single shooter. She captured every key moment, got through every combination of family photos, and curated some of the most beautiful couple shots we could have ever imagined.

If you are thinking about hiring Allison for your engagement, wedding, or both, don’t hesitate. She’s an incredibly talented professional and you’ll be stoked about the results. As a bonus - she turns around the final photos very quickly, you don’t have to wait months to see them.

Allison is INCREDIBLE, and if you are looking for a wedding photographer we truly believe you do not need to look any further. When we met Allison at our engagement session we knew right away that we made the right decision - it was like hanging out with a friend for 30 minutes. The entire session felt so natural and we had the BEST time. In the time between booking Lightbloom Photography for our wedding and the big day, Allison answered every question we had and she was always quick to respond. Twelve days after our wedding we received our wedding album and we are still in complete awe of the breath taking photos Allison captured of our special day. Allison is an expert and we cannot recommend her enough as a photographer and also as an amazing human being.

Allison is simply the best. From the very first communication, I knew Allison was *the one*. She was prompt, transparent and extremely professional, all while offering the exact style of wedding photo that I was looking for. She provided so many resources throughout the planning process and honestly went way beyond any expectations I would have from my photographer. Not to mention she was totally on board with my multi day wedding extravaganza and showed up ready to take in and capture the chaos. Which she did, beautifully! And she then turned around the photos at lightning speed. I can't say enough good things about her. You know your wedding photographer is amazing when half the guests are talking about how cool she was at the brunch the morning after. 10/10 would have another wedding so Allison could shoot it.

Allison is a MEGA talent at all things photography. Our family and friends have said that our wedding photos look like a Vogue photoshoot!! She captured my husband and my energy and personalities perfectly and was SO FUN and helpful throughout our entire wedding process. She will not disappoint you! The only thing I’m disappointed about is that I won’t get to spend an entire day with her again! Book Lightbloom immediately!!!

We cannot recommend Allison enough! From the moment we first connected, it was clear that we were in the hands of a true professional. Allison not only captured our special day flawlessly but also became an integral part of it.

Her work is nothing short of phenomenal—each photo beautifully tells the story of our wedding day with such artistry and attention to detail. She has a unique talent for capturing not just moments, but emotions that we'll cherish forever.

Beyond her incredible skills behind the camera, Allison was an absolute joy to work with. Always quick to respond to our questions and incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, she made everything feel effortless.

Additionally, she seamlessly blended in with our guests, capturing candid moments and making everyone feel at ease. Many of our friends and family have since commented on how lovely she was and how she added to the joy of the occasion.

If you're looking for a photographer who not only takes stunning photos but also enhances your entire wedding experience, Allison is your girl! She has a gift for capturing memories that will last a lifetime and we highly recommend her!

We hired Allison as a photographer for our wedding in June of 2024, and she exceeded our expectations in every way. Our engagement photoshoot prior to the wedding was our first time having professional photographs taken together. Allison was professional, enthusiastic, and most importantly so fun to work with. We were blown away by the quality of the photographs we received and incorporated into our save the dates/wedding website.

On the day of the wedding Allison showed up with the same amazing and upbeat attitude. She instantly meshed with our wedding party and elevated our day while snapping incredible photos. She has such an eye for what would make a great backdrop and lighting. Allison immediately understood our vibe and kept things light and fun while ensuring all important photos we wanted with family were accounted for. We are SO happy that we extended the session to have her stay through the reception as she snapped some of our favorite photos – from a giant family photo shot from the BAC balcony that turned out incredible to our cute sparkler exit – couldn’t ask for better shots.

We cannot recommend Allison more as a photographer. Allison was responsive to inquiries and always happy to answer any questions.

At this point Allison feels more like family than a wedding day vendor. Her personality and skill are top notch, and any couple would be lucky to have her shoot them on their wedding day. Thank you for all that you did!!!

Allison is literally my favorite human ever. She is the BEST photographer to work with I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We used her for engagement and our wedding day and both times her energy and way she was able to make us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera was so special. She made me feel like the most beautiful bride in the world, and is so fun to work with. She captured so many beautiful moments during our big day, I’ve attached screenshots of some of her work that she sent me. If you are looking for someone who is going to be fully present, everywhere at the same time somehow, positive, fun, engaging, and extremely talentend, Allison is your gal!!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Allison as our wedding photographer. Of course, she is so much more than that. Allison is a wonderful human being (and just as sweet as can be) who makes everyone she works with feel so incredibly comfortable in front of the camera. She makes what she does look so effortless, but the work she puts in behind the scenes is really what sets her apart from the rest. For starters, Allison offers an engagement photoshoot with her wedding photography packages. This was such a pleasant surprise for us, and served as a great opportunity to meet Allison ahead of our wedding day! She is also an excellent communicator (easing my mind about potential rain at least once 😅) and has a very quick turnaround time when it comes to email inquiries. With that, her website and photo galleries are so user friendly and easy to access, which may seem like a small detail but it really stood out to me throughout our time working with her. It is clear Allison has spent a lot of time building her business into what it is today, and I have so much admiration for her because of this.

And of course, how could I talk about Allison and Lightbloom Photography without mentioning how PERFECTLY she captured not only our engagement photos, but our entire wedding day. I was particularly blown away by the fact that she seemed to be everywhere at once, capturing all of the small moments I thought no one else was watching. One example that stood out to me was after our wedding reception dinner. My grandma needed to head out early, but before she left, she came over to give me a hug while everyone else was busy dancing. When we got our gallery back, I saw Allison had captured this sweet exchange between me and my grandmother and it actually brought a tear to my eye. I am genuinely still in shock over how beautiful our photos turned out and know I will be looking at them forever. For those in search of the perfect photographer, Allison is spectacular and it is clear that she takes her craft very seriously. With all this being said, we would highly recommend Lightbloom Photography! You will not regret your decision to work with her.
