    Alison & team are unmatched!

    Alison and her team is amazing! Prior to the wedding so was communicative, responsive and provided helpful resources. We did an engagement session with her as well and immediately fell in love with her and her photos. Personally, she is kind and fun, which makes you feel comfortable throughout the day! She honestly gave off loving older sister vibes. She has a lot of experience, especially in the Pittsburgh area. Alison recommended areas to go for rain or shine and knew really great poses. Her talent and expertise is truly unmatched! I love our gallery and can’t even pick a top 10. She always checked in throughout our wedding, works great with kids, helped me with my veil, buttons on my dress and fluffing my train too many times. During the chaos of the day, she moved things around to accommodate the timeline. Alison and her team are a 12/10!!

    The BEST Wedding Photographer

    Words cannot express how amazingly talented Alison is. My husband and I hired Alison to photograph our wedding, and I can easily say it was the best decision we ever made. Alison was extremely responsive and SUPER easy to work with. She made my husband and I feel comfortable and cared for, even while planning with uncertainty through a pandemic.

    Alison and her husband Mike were so fun and efficient. Aside from taking photos, they were both extremely helpful with managing our wedding day schedule and lending a helping hand when needed. We had all of our photos back in one week, and even had surprise print outs on our sweetheart table! We were so impressed with the turnaround. Alison captured so many beautiful moments from our engagement session and wedding day, and we are so thankful to have these precious memories to look back on. The quality, color, and creativity of the photos are simply amazing and a dream come true. We continue to be blown away by her work.

    I would highly recommend Alison Mish Photography for your big day! I can promise you will not be disappointed.

    "Some of the best wedding pictures I've seen"

    Alison is amazing! She is so sweet and has such a eye for wedding photography. She was so responsive to all questions and even sent us sweet Mr. and Mrs. coffee mugs during the wedding planning process. Our photos look phenomenal and captured the day beautifully. Alison worked over dinner and put a sample of our photos on her iPad to be displayed at the bar during the reception. She had a blog post of the entire day out while we were still on our honeymoon, and our total album of photos (1,046) to us 11 days after our wedding. The photo taking process was relaxed and casual, especially for a couple who does not enjoy getting their pictures taken. I was wowed by every single picture and was impressed by her ability to capture pictures that were truly "us." Our guests raved about how Alison was everywhere all night. Every time there was a photo opportunity, she was right there capturing it. She is worth every penny!

    I loved working with Alison and her husband, Mike, so much. They were such an incredible team, willing to work with us in any way we imagined or thought of. I felt like we were friends before we ever even met, and I know that we definitely left the wedding closer than before. Her work is incredible and she goes to such lengths to make her clients happy.

    We love alison

    Alison completely made our wedding the perfect dream that I imagined and I am so lucky to have such beautiful pictures to look at forever. She makes every effort to get to know you as a couple and really bond with you. We did our engagement session with her, so we were totally comfortable with her and knew exactly what to do for the wedding, which made things go quick and smooth. Alison is extremely talented and you can see that in her photography.

    Alison and Mike were a joy to work with...and they were fellow pitt alums! Everyone in our wedding party said how much they loved working with them! The photos were unreal and they are SO efficient. Photos were not a hassle and fun, in fact! We highly recommend these two for wedding and engagement photography! Well worth the investment to have a worry-free, wedding photography experience. We never doubted that Alison and mike would capture all the important moments! They are also incredible at indoor shots with poor lighting-something hard to come by when searching for a photographer!

    Alison was PHENOMENAL. I used her for my 11/5/2016 wedding. The pictures are unreal. I have had multiple wedding guests and friends contact me to tell me how amazing they look. The best part, we had ALL of our pictures within 10 days of the wedding. I have friends that waited 6-8 months for photos....we were able to see them all a few days after the honeymoon!

    Alison was great to work with. We took engagement photos about a year before the wedding, and she stayed in contact throughout the planning process.

    Alison and her husband, Mike, made sure we got every single specific picture we asked for, and they helped us find the perfect locations for photos the day of. We wanted downtown pictures, and they had it organized down to the minute to make sure we got everywhere we needed to be on time (even with traffic). They were so professional and on top of everything, but also really nice and fun to work with.

    A really cool feature was that the uploaded some pictures onto an iPad at dinner to let us look at them. We got to see about a dozen pictures at dinner, and then they placed the iPad at the bar for guests to look at. Everyone loved it!

    After the professional pictures Alison and Mike blended into the background and we almost forgot they were there. They got so many fun pictures of guests that we were really excited to get to see.

    I felt completely taken care of throughout the entire process. I always knew what was going on, and I never worried about anything. Alison made sure I knew that she would handle whatever happened!

    Alison and Mike make the perfect duo to photograph your wedding! The love they have for each other and the way they work so well together truly adds something special to all the pictures they take. My husband and I couldn't be happier with the way our wedding pictures turned out! They captured every moment and every detail of our day so perfectly. I honestly cannot say enough not only about their work but them as individuals. Such great people to work with! Not to mention Alison helped me with things a photographer isn't hired to do! She helped fix my dress multiple times, she helped me with my veil and also with my garter when it kept falling down. Obviously, she is AWESOME!

    Thanks again Alison and Mike!

    We could not be happier with our experience with Alison Mish Photography! Alison and Mike are incredibly talented and professional. They were very helpful with posing us for photos and made us feel really comfortable in front of the camera. They were so thoughtful throughout our engagement and sent us fun little notes and small gifts to get us excited for the big day. We knew they really cared about us and took the responsibility of photographing our wedding very seriously. They happily traveled from Pittsburgh to Lancaster for our wedding and were very reasonable with what they asked for in terms of travel compensation. Alison and Mike were also very helpful while the guys and girls were coordinating on the wedding morning. They were sure to communicate with each other so that my husband and I did not see each other before the ceremony. During the reception, I felt like they were EVERYWHERE! They really paid attention to photographing many of our guests, which we love. It is wonderful not to only have great pictures of us and the wedding party, but also our guests. We also love the PASS software that they use to share the photos. It is very easy to work with and it is great to have quick access to all of the pictures. We have not ordered our wedding album yet (too many amazing pictures to choose from), but the samples we were shown are beautiful and can't wait to have our own!

    Overall, we would highly recommend working with Alison Mish Photography!

    Alison and Mike were both so professional and accommodating throughout our wedding, we loved our pictures, they turned out beautifully! The pair go far above and beyond for their clients, sending the most thoughtful notes, cards and gifts leading up to and after our wedding. We couldn't have been happier or had a better experience with our photographers. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for services in the Pittsburgh area.

    Where do we begin! We met Alison Mish and her husband at their home where we were greeted with homemade cookies and coffee. She had a very professional office setup and was very patient and excited to explain the entire process and services she offered. We left leaving there, even though it was our first interview, knowing that she was a great find and recommendation from other local vendors who were previously booked for our date (Hot Metal Studios, Rachel Rowland, and Aaron Varga - note that all 3 recommended her!).

    Our engagement session was such a great experience! The weather did not really cooperate, it rained a bit, it burst with snow pellets, was cold, somewhat sunny, but lots of fallen colorful leaves for the Fall! And through it all, Alison found the right angles, light, and positioning for us to make a great engagement session. The whole evening was topped off with her patience as we traveled from our 1st site to 2nd site as she stayed very positive and energetic. We saw the photos shortly after (~1 week) on a personal website she setup for us, and they were AMAZING! We actually used a set of photos she took along with her recommendations to have her design Save the Date cards. Which those turned out just as great as her photos from the engagement session!

    As the wedding approached she contacted us with possible sites to have photos at, the groups of friends, family formals, and ideas of timing. Just like the feelings we had with our engagement session, everything went smoothly! At the wedding, her husband (her 2nd shooter) was very comfortable and conversational with the guys as we were getting ready. And from the photos I was able to see, Alison had a great time with the girls as they were getting ready. Throughout the ceremony they moved easily about to get key photos and moments. Both were dressed professionally for the occasion.

    Please contact for more details, not enough room for the greatest job they did for us!!!

    Alison did our engagement and wedding photos and we are beyond thrilled with the way they turned out.

    My wife (then fiancee), Tara, found Alison through Wedding Wire and we met for a consultation at her house. We looked through samples of her work and we were very impressed with not only the photography and style, but also the presentation. Also, she baked us lemon cookies.

    After the engagement session and the wedding, we were always thrilled to see sneak peeks of our photos on Alison's site - and she made it very easy to review and download full sessions of the final files from her site. Her attention to these details definitely gives her a leg up on a lot of the other competition.

    Alison and her husband, Mike, absolutely captured "us" in the photographs and we're extremely happy with the results. Highly recommended vendor.

    Alison and her husband, Mike, are the dynamic duo! They are extremely original and flexible. While Alison photographs the girls, Mike photographs the boys so that no pictures are missed! (especially everyone getting ready in the morning) They both got great shots at every moment of our special day and we are so blessed they were a part of our team that day. I would absolutely recommend Alison Mish photography to anyone and everyone looking for a great photographer for any venue!

    Alison is a wonderful photographer. She goes above and beyond the expectations of her work. Our pictures captured all of our most treasured moments during our special day. She is very interactive with her clients and gets back to them within a timely fashion and always answers all of their questions and or suggestions.

    Alison is very personable and easy to get along with. From our first meeting with her, to the engagement session, to the wedding day itself, my husband and I felt completely comfortable and at ease. She made the photo shoot process fun and enjoyable and was able to capture the real us in the process! No phony looking or forced pictures, just pictures that brought out our love for each other and allowed our personalities to be captured as well. Her husband, Mike, who photographs alongside her on the wedding day, was also a joy to work with. The two of them make a great team, and we can tell that not only do they love what they do, but they enjoy doing it together. I would highly recommend booking them as your wedding photographers!

    Alison Mish Photography did an excellent job capturing every moment of our wedding day. Alison and her husband are such a wonderful team and will go to any length to get the best shot. Alison is really great to work with from the engagement session all the way up to the very end of the wedding day. She stuck it out through trudging through the woods for our engagement photos and sticking it out in the misty rain of our outdoor shots on our wedding day, and the pictures turned out flawless. My favorite thing about Alison Mish Photography (other than the beautiful photography) is the personal touch they bring to each client. Alison would check in with me through out the wedding planning process, she sent an encouragement note with a Starbucks gift card a month before the wedding for a caffeine boost on those last minute late night wedding planning, with our final photos we also received beautiful custom coasters with our wedding photos on them and a book on the language of love, even after all was said and done we still received a thoughtful gift for Christmas, our very first 1st Christmas as Mr. and Mrs. ornament for our tree! They are very genuine people and both my husband and myself are so thankful we hired them for one of the most important days of our lives. Alison is a very talented photographer and also a very wonderful person. You will not regret hiring them. I promise.

    I would highly recommend Alison Mish Photography! She is an absolute sweetheart and was a joy to work with from the very beginning. Our engagement pictures were so great that it was almost impossible to pick the ones we wanted printed! She made it easy as she directed and posed my husband and I. We had our engagement pictures back within about a week!

    On our wedding day, Alison and Mike (her husband) were with us for the entire day. She came to my house to get pictures of us all getting ready while Mike went to the guys to get pictures of them. These are some of my favorite pictures captured. Alison and Mike were super patient with my wild wedding party! They made sure to get the shots that were important to me. At the reception they literally caught every moment! From my dads tears as we danced, to conversations between the Grandmas...they really caught it all. Our wedding pictures came back to us beautifully packaged within two weeks. As I went through the disk of about 1,000 pictures, I felt as if I was reliving the day.

    Alison goes above and beyond. She pays attention to every single detail. Absolutely amazing. We couldn't have picked a better photographer!!

    Alison Mish Photography was absolutely amazing. I seriously cannot speak highly enough about her and her second shooter/husband Mike. After viewing just two weddings she photographed, we decided to book her for our wedding just over a year later. We couldn't be happier with our decision. They are so professional, easy to work with, and creative. Before our wedding, we had two engagement sessions--one in South Park in the fall and one in Consol Energy Center (home of the Pittsburgh Penguins!) in the spring. I started out extremely nervous but they made the experience so great. We definitely felt comfortable on our wedding day because of them.

    My dream was for our wedding to be published in The Knot magazine and for that to come true it rested in the hands of the photographer. Well, my dream came true! The photos Alison took are simply breathtaking and we will cherish them forever. Check her our in the Spring 2013 edition of The Knot-Pittsburgh/Delaware magazine! :)

    Alison is an amazing photographer! She truly has an eye for the best pictures and shots! Everyone loved our wedding pictures and the unique ideas she had for the different shots! Her service was outstanding and everything came in a timely manner. And the pictures were of excellent value! Her professionalism put me at ease, as the bride, and I did not have to worry or think about if she was getting certain pictures or not, she was in charge of that and she handled it exceptionally! She was very flexible, allowing you to include some of your own ideas if you had any. All in all Alison was wonderful to work with and I would recommend her to anyone and everyone in need of photography!
