Pick this one!!!

I cannot say enough about how amazing Alan is!!! We had ALOT of struggles due to venue changes and then Covid and then replanning the wedding multiple times. Alan was very supportive and flexible. On top of that his knowledge and passion for photography is evident and contagious! He had such positive energy and guided us to make truly lasting and beautiful pictures. Any one who had a chance (including our other vendors) took the time to tell us just how amazing he was throughout the wedding. They only allow 5 stars on here but I wish I could give 1000000000x more. If you book Transcending Memories know that you are getting the absolute best!

Stunning Photos, Excellent Photographer!

It was a pleasure to have Alan as our photographer for our engagement shoot and on our wedding day. We could tell that Alan was passionate about his work as he captured our special moments by manipulating lighting and creating timeless scenes. He paid attention to detail with every photograph he took, and all of the photos taken highlighted his creativity. Alan stayed in touch with us throughout the process of making our final wedding album and he made sure that we were happy with our photos before sending it to us. When we saw the photos we were amazed; each picture was phenomenal. If we had to do it over again, we’d work with Alan in a heartbeat. It was a pleasure working with him and we would definitely recommend Transcending Memories for your special day.

Amazing photographer!

Alan and his assistant were prompt and professional. They went out of their way to capture every moment of our daughter’s wedding day. Alan did a fabulous job of editing photos and making sure we were all pleased with the final product. Alan definitely went above and beyond our expectations. I would highly recommend him for any of your photography needs!

Great photos and very personable photographer

Alan was great! He met with my wife and I for a long time when we first met with him. We were very impressed.

We had an engagement shoot and he was very creative and had great ideas.

For our wedding, he and his assistant were on the ball. I didn’t realize the need for so many photos until I saw the finished products.

Thanks so much Alan for capturing memories that will last us a lifetime! We would definitely recommend him to family, friends or anyone.

Excellent all around!

His work is excellent! ...and very reasonable in price. I felt that he gave a lot of direction as well as heard my visions and made it happen :)
He is VERY quick to respond with any questions and goes with the flow during the event. He definitely kept me at ease even during some stressful times during my wedding.

The Master of Lighting!

The way that Alan framed his shots and the attention to lighting gave us an album with magazine quality photos. It takes a bit of time for him to set up his lights for the pictures, but it makes all of the difference. He was happy and enthusiastic throughout the long long day and put in extra time to get the perfect shots that he had planned. We wanted to find someone who could capture our day with a few outstanding wall mountable shots - he exceeded our expectations and we couldn't be happier that we found him!
