    11/10 Stars ⭐️ 🌟 💫

    I worked with Alison on my and my partner’s wedding in October 2022 and we had such an incredible experience with her from start to end. Even before the day, she sent us care packs, gave us helpful information on posing and what to bring with us, and she was so flexible with the day of schedule. I didn’t have a planner so I was finalizing some of those things quite last minute.

    On the day of Alison was so wonderful and I felt totally at ease with her, even though I’d not met her in person before that day. She was patient, accommodating, supportive, fun, and she helped us get so many photos we were so happy with.

    Even after the fact, she’s gone truly above and beyond. I cannot recommend her enough!

    Beautiful photos, so helpful throughout

    Before hiring Alison for our wedding, we hired her company for our engagement photos and worked with one of her associate photographers because Alison was booked for our wedding. The photographer was amazing and made us feel so comfortable. It was the perfect thing to make us confident that the wedding would go well. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, Alison was extremely responsive, supportive, and organized. She included lots of personal touches to get us excited for the big day and gave us lots of advice and recommendations when we asked. With everything else being so crazy, we felt like the photography was totally taken care of. The day of the wedding, Alison's associate photographers were extremely professional and positive. They helped the day run extremely smoothly and let us totally enjoy ourselves while still catching the big moments. Alison is an editing wizard and got our photos back to us so quickly. Couldn't be happier with the experience!

    Fantastic photographer and fun to work with!

    We had the BEST experience working with Alison and her team (Bridget) at Alison Dunn Photography. I could not have been more happy that we booked Alison to do both our engagement and wedding photos. She is so responsive, flexible, and made us feel very comfortable by telling us how to pose and also asking for our opinions in case we wanted some particular poses. Alison proved to not only be a fantastic photographer, but also someone we could go to for advice throughout our wedding planning. She coordinated the most perfect first look, gave us a heads up for things like getting a wedding permit, and sent us tips and tricks along the way.

    On the actual wedding day, Alison was super reliable and did a tremendous job getting photos of people we pointed out like extended family and good friends. We are thrilled with how our photos turned out, and I would recommend Alison Dunn Photography to any couple looking to have their dream wedding!

    Best Wedding Photographer!

    We hired Alison for our fall engagement shoot and spring wedding, and she did the most beautiful job!!! Not only is she highly efficient and organized, but also extremely talented at taking gorgeous, natural-looking photos. She was the only wedding vendor I never had to worry about during the planning process. I could always count on her to respond quickly and thoroughly to all my questions and concerns. Having Alison as our photographer was definitely one of the best decisions we made for our wedding! We'll treasure her photos for many years to come :)

    Third AlisonDunn Wedding in our Family!

    Alison is a JOY to work with and her photography is spectacular. She photographed two of my sister's weddings, and was my first call when I was looking at wedding dates to make sure she was available! Day of the wedding, Alison made me feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful the entire time. Her and her second shooter blended into the background of the day and got the most stunning shots of me & hubs, and family and friends. AND she sent our photos back to us in less than a week! (She even sent a handful the morning after the wedding as a sneak peak which was such a joy to have so quickly!) Her eye for detail, capturing sweet moments, and helping wrangle large groups of people turns chaos into order - especially when you want to spend more time enjoying the day instead of looking for aunts and uncles for family photos!

    Alison is absolutely amazing!

    We are thrilled we had Alison in our corner on our wedding day! Alison shot our proposal, our small backyard wedding, and we couldn't imagine having our most recent larger celebration without her. She was incredibly professional, navigating through large families and our city venue, all while making us feel comfortable and supported the entire day. Alison delivered over 1,000 high-quality photos within days of our wedding and managed to capture beautiful photos of every single guest in attendance! We can't stop opening up our gallery -- it really captures our joy, excitement, and happiness in every shot! -- and we can't wait to work with Alison into the future!

    Wedding with Alison Dunn

    We used Alison Dunn Photography for our engagement photos and over the weekend of our wedding. Throughout the whole process, she was incredible to work with and made us (who are always nervous to have our photo taken) feel so calm! We have beautiful photos now from the most special events in our lives that we will have forever. She is great and we highly recommend her!

    Great Experience

    Alison did an amazing job as our photographer. She was very fast in getting us the photos that she took. We got married on a Saturday and she had our website up with all of our photos able to download and order the following Monday. The photos she took looked incredible we got married at a country club and the majority of the photos were taken on a golf course. I was concerned that it would look like a golf course in the background but she did a great job and you couldn't tell it was a golf course at all. Alison was also very flexible which is something that was very important to us. We had to completely change our wedding size and the timing due to some family issues and COVID. Alison worked with us to insure that she was scheduled for the appropriate time and that we got all of the photos that we wanted. She did a great job of taking the photos and making it not look like such a small wedding. I would definitely hire Alison again or recommend her to a friend. She is nice, professional and does amazing work!

    Professional, easy to work with and amazing photos!!!

    Working with Alison was a pleasure, from everything leading up to the wedding, to the big day! She always responded quickly to any of my questions and was very thoughtful throughout the process. The day of, she was awesome in being easy going but also keeping things on time and on track. Several family members came to me complimenting how great she was and how fast she worked. She got the photos back to me insanely fast!!!! They were everything I hoped they would be and more. HIGHLY recommend!

    The best wedding photographer in Philly

    We are so thrilled that we chose Alison Dunn Photography to capture our wedding day. Alison and her assistant Bridget gave great direction and made everyone in our wedding party feel comfortable. They photographed our entire day perfectly, without us ever feeling like we were being taken away from the party for photos. I woke up the next morning to sneak peak pictures, and we received the rest of our photos in record time - less than a week after our wedding date! We will cherish the photos forever, and HIGHLY recommend Alison to anyone getting married in the Philadelphia area.

    Magnificent!

    Alison and Bridget were absolutely wonderful. Professional, responsive and organized. We had a small mini-mony because of coronavirus but Alison made us feel like it was still a real event. When we had to make some last minute changes they were incredibly flexible and understanding, working with us to make a plan. My husband and I are definitely people who shy away from the spotlight but Alison made us feel comfortable and I actually enjoyed having my photo taken. The photographs are absolutely beautiful and I am so grateful to have these memories preserved for many years to come. Will definitely be using Alison Dunn Photography again for our other life events!

    Alison is absolutely amazing!

    We cannot thank Alison enough for all of her hard work to capture our special day! She agreed to help us with our very small COVID wedding just a few short weeks before it was planned. She was an incredibly responsive, trusted advisor who was extremely flexible throughout the planning process. On the day of our wedding, Alison was the consummate professional - navigating through planning chaos, face masks, social distancing, and humidity to deliver absolutely stunning photos. She even sent us our gallery within 2 days - and every time we look at our photo gallery we smile! We cannot recommend Alison enough for anyone who is looking for unique, inspiring, and personal photos to remember their wedding day.

    Alison is the whole package!

    Alison is the whole package. She has an incredible ability to capture the raw, natural emotion in big events through beautiful candid shots. Furthermore, Alison makes clients comfortable with her warm encouragement, clear direction, and organization. My wedding day went SO smoothly because of Alison. My husband and I were so please with our photos and we were floored at how quickly she prepared our gallery. We would recommend Alison a million times over!!

    The absolute best!

    Alison Dunn Photography (and her staff) is amazing! She cared about my fiancee and me and "our story" and it is so evident that she is passionate about her work. Leading up to wedding day Alison was very communicative and helpful with any/all questions. She is professional, supportive, calm, thorough, and AMAZING at what she does. I had so much fun with her on wedding day and taking photos with my groom! She captured genuine joy and happiness in our photos and it was a perfect day. I highly recommend her and would absolutely hire her again!

    Absolutely stunning pictures from a wonderful photographer!

    Alison Dunn Photography was a joy to work with for our engagement and wedding photos. From first contact, she was organized, supportive, and warm, and we knew we were going to be in good hands. Alison really put us at ease during our engagement shoot. She was fun, gave good direction, and the photos were beautiful. The day of our wedding, Alison and her team really made it truly special. They captured every detail, supported and coached us throughout, and added to the fun atmosphere. Alison had a great eye for shooting locations and was always game to try out a new place or pose. Above all, the photos turned out beautiful. One family member said that they “looked like they were out of a magazine”. Alison was so quick---sending us a few photos on the night of the wedding, and sharing a blog post and our full album within the same week. We cannot recommend Alison Dunn Photography enough!

    Couldn't be happier! Look no further!

    Alison was everything we expected and more. Hiring her was the easiest part of wedding planning because we knew that, with her at the helm, everything was taken care of. Having been in other ADP weddings prior, I knew that Alison's efficiency did not compromise her artistry. We had wedding pictures on our greeting table before the reception was even over! Her second shooter was phenomenal, her assistant was amazing as always, the Invisibooth was a big hit and we could not be happier with how our pictures came out.

    Talented Wedding Photographer

    Alison is a wonderful photographer and my husband and I highly recommend her. She is this amazing mix of very kind but also incredibly efficient and organized. Moreover, she's a talented photographer -- she captured beautiful candid moments as well as really lovely family portraits from our wedding day. All of our family and friends commented on how much they liked her and her team and also how much they love our pictures.

    Best photographer I've ever met!

    Of the multiple decisions we needed to make when we got engaged, booking Alison as our photographer might be the best one of all! She truly is talented and has an eye for capturing beautiful moments. I really appreciated how she was incredibly organized (sending google forms to fill out for more information instead of inundating me with last minute questions) and she obviously has worked out a process to make everything run smoothly. She tells you exactly where to look and what to do to make the perfect picture. I also was really happy with her demeanor and organization during the event. She didn’t belabor the time spent taking bridal photos or bridal party photos (we were really hot!). She got great pictures in just a few minutes and had us moving along quickly to the next event. Her keen eye for good photography made the process seamless and the photos we received from her are absolutely stunning. I would definitely recommend Alison to anyone looking for a wedding photographer or anyone looking to capture any special moment!

    Alison and her team were professional, timely, responsive, calm, coordinated, trustworthy, and exactly the kind of team you are happy to have around you on your wedding day. :) We have had so many compliments on our photos. More than that, we have such special memories and so many beautiful moments to look back on... what a gift! Alison Dunn Photography is excellent!

    I cannot rave enough about Alison Dunn Photography! To start, she is a natural talent. Her photographs are BEAUTIFUL; they are the most complimented part of our wedding. Guests who weren't even in the wedding party or family were gushing about how great our photographer was-- they weren't just pointing out the photos, but the PERSON-- which I think speaks to her high-quality work. Second, she was a complete joy to work with because of her natural skills and personality. She is detail-oriented and kind; she is fast to respond to emails and she's usually ten steps ahead of you in brainstorming/planning. She was also professional and took charge when she needed to (i.e., herding family photos). To drive this point home, our other vendors were excited to hear Alison was our photographer. To quote my makeup artist, "oh, I'm so excited she'll be there on your wedding. She is so detail-oriented and easy to work with. When she's there, the day always goes smoothly." She is worth more than every penny you will spend. We are SO glad we chose her as our photographer. P.S. Be sure to check out her Invisibooth (photobooth), too!

    Choosing Alison as our wedding photographer was the easiest and best decision that we made throughout the entire wedding planning process. We were immediately drawn to her style of photography which is natural, simple, and absolutely breathtaking. She is so talented. Not only that, she made us feel so comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. We couldn't be more pleased with the way both our engagement photos and wedding photos turned out. Alison is extremely easy to work with -- organized, prompt, communicative. She helped us so much, even with aspects of our wedding outside of the photography -- from planning a timeline for the day to even recommending the wedding band we chose. I would recommend Alison work to anyone getting married in the area! I cannot say enough good things!

    I cannot say enough good things about Alison Dunn Photography! Alison's photos are some of the most gorgeous I have ever seen and she truly has a talent to capture images that show real emotions and are not staged. Not only are Alison's photos the best ever, but Alison herself is so easy to work with. From the first time I spoke to her she was so genuine, she makes you feel like a friend not just a client. Alison is also extremely responsive, whenever I had a question she would answer it right away. She goes above and beyond to make you feel even more excited about wedding planning (I won't share too many details to ruin the surprises!). On the day of my wedding Alison not only took photos but made sure things were perfect for the photos. For example, she noticed my cake support was showing so she quickly added flowers to it so it would look perfect for photos. I would definitely recommend Alison Dunn Photography to anyone looking for a photographer- she is really the best :)

    Alison did an INCREDIBLE job with our wedding and engagement photos. She impressed my family so much, my sister booked Alison as her wedding photographer for her wedding next summer as soon as she saw the photos! I had complete confidence in her from the start – she did an incredible job with our engagement photos despite an impending rain storm (which ended up being an actual rainstorm, we rolled with it and the photos are stunning!) It’s a nice problem having too many favorite wedding photos.
    She not only does incredible work, she got us our photos SO FAST. We got our engagement photos in about a week, and our wedding photos were turned around less than a week after our wedding!! For comparison, my cousin got married in June and is STILL waiting for her photographer to send her the gallery in December. It was so nice to be able to relive our favorite day while we were still at the beach on our honeymoon!! She does incredible work and is very efficient, you can tell she puts a lot of care into her photos as they are all just stunning.
    She offers a photo booth (invisibooth) in addition to the wedding photo package - BOOK IT. Our guests LOVED the invisibooth photos, even my Dad's business partners were getting in on the goofy photo action! My husband and I were able to look through the invisibooth photos over breakfast the morning after the wedding (since she turned them around the morning after the wedding) - such a treat!
    Can’t say enough good things about Alison and her work!

    Alison Dunn is just the best--she and her team managed to capture every aspect of my daughter's engagement and wedding beautifully! Not only are all her shots top notch, she is truly adept at capturing those moments that really make a couple, their wedding, their event, and their families...you know, those moments that often go by without photo documentation but that really say so much! All those things that the best greeting cards say in words, Alison manages to give you in her pictures. I'm certain my daughter and brand-new son-in-law will be using her again for those "big" events in years to come! Thank you, Alison!!
