All I have to say is...Hire this lady!
My husband and I hired Allyson Washington to shoot our rehearsal dinner and wedding, in Baltimore, over the weekend of September 12, 2021.
From the beginning of the planning process through to the end of the reception Ally was phenomenal. She listened to our perspective, needs, and last minute requests. She had a plethora of tips and advice to make sure our photos came out perfect. I specifically wanted her to capture the small, often overlooked, moments. As we are now reviewing the first set of photos she has released to us, she captured all these and more.
Our wedding party was ages ~4 weeks to 70+ years and wide range of skin tones. Ally understood the challenges that come with photographing such a diverse variety of people and made the experience fun for everyone. I had several guests comment to me on how much they enjoyed her demeanor when she was photographing them.
As a bride, this weekend was 10x more stressful that I had imagined (yes, even more intense than I assumed) and having Ally by my side was an unexpected blessing. She had such a calm and positive presence, which I greatly appreciated then and now.
Overall, the photos Ally took are wonderful and she is a great person to boot. I will certainly hire her again if I ever need professional photos taken.
Thank you Ally!

Allyson felt like part of the family, in a really good way
Allyson was amazing, from first contact to our wedding day. I can't speak highly enough of her artistic eye, her overall friendly demeanor, or her professionalism... You absolutely won't go wrong hiring her! My husband and I are not particularly photogenic, but yet we love how she made us look, without looking overly posed. She integrated into our family so well that my grandmother thought we had been friends for a long time! It really just added to the magic of the day!Allyson was amazing, from first contact to our wedding day.

Allyson was hands-down wonderful. The guests at my wedding went out of their way to share how much they enjoyed meeting her when I introduced her and how she seemed to be everywhere, capturing moments candid and planned! She was friendly, down to earth, and professional. She worked with us to capture our day as we wanted it to be done, and we couldn't be happier with how the day went and how she helped us memorialize it. We highly recommend working with her.Allyson was hands-down wonderful.

Thank you! I had such an awesome time shooting your wedding and everything was beautiful! I even teared up behind the lens when they came out with the birthday cake for your sister. That was such a lovely moment and you and Rick are lovely people. -

We absolutely loved the way Allyson made us feel. We were comfortable throughout the entire process; it was completely easy to work with her. She captured us in our most natural moments and created other great moments, as well. Furthermore, she was speedy and quick about showcasing the amazing shots and ensuring the fantastic pictures were available to us soon after the event. We recommend her to any and every couple looking for a professional and accomplished photographer.We absolutely loved the way Allyson made us feel.

Ally was so amazing. We had talked on the phone for months leading up to my wedding, and she even emailed with my wife who was in Germany at the time. I had a million questions to ask her and she took the time to tell me exactly what needed to be done, more than once.
On the day of our wedding she showed up and went above and beyond with her photos. We expected a few family portraits and some ceremony snaps, but we ended up with so many beautiful photos.
She kept reminding us "you need to drink water." "Don't forget to drink water." And even stayed a little longer than we negotiated, so that my wife and I could eat some food.
She was by far the nicest photographer we talked to, and we certainly plan on having her at many more of our life events in the future.

Fabulous Photographer
Allyson goes above and beyond. When she says that she's got your back, boy does she mean it. We had to make a lot of changes for our wedding because of the coronavirus, and she was ride or die right along side us. From the moment we met Allyson, we knew we wanted to work with her. As we walked to our car after our first meeting, my (now) husband turned to me and said, "I think you just made a new friend back there." And he was right. Allyson became more than just a photographer for us. Throughout this process, we've chatted about everything from our pets to episodes of Lovecraft Country! Also, on the day of our wedding, she was incredibly helpful. We had a bit of a guerilla-style wedding where we set up and dismantled everything ourselves, and she jumped on in, eager to lend a hand. Last, but certainly not least, the pictures she took are INCREDIBLE. I haven't been able to stop looking at them. She did a fantastic job capturing so many meaningful moments from our day. She works really great with kids, too. She managed to get a picture of all 11 members of our combined families where we all look great, even the kids! Do yourself a favor and just hire her, already!!!Allyson goes above and beyond. When she says that she's got your back, boy does she mean it.

She is a wonderful person. The pictures that she took turned out very well. I was really thankful that she was able to help me and my family out in such a short time-frame. My only recommendation would be that she normally doesn't make contracts, but I would push for one. The reason being is so there is some type of documentation other than just email exchanges.She is a wonderful person. The pictures that she took turned out very well.

Hi Jenise,
Thanks for the review! Because it was such short notice I didn't get a chance to draw up a proper contract. I do, however, write up a contract before I take a deposit now. Just so everything is clear. But, still, it is very smart practice to push for one and, either way, it's good advice. -
