Loved our experience with Alan! Couldn’t be happier with his work! The photos were fantastic, but equally impressive was his work behind the scenes. Very detailed and experienced and just a wonderful person to have be a part of our intimate moments throughout the entire process!
We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Alan from Love Story Photography. From start to finish, he was an absolute professional — intuitive, courteous, and incredibly talented. His photography skills and deep knowledge really shone through at every step. He coordinated seamlessly with our DJ and other vendors to make sure the timing and lighting were perfect throughout the day. Every photo he took had flawless exposure and beautifully natural lighting, regardless of the situation.
Alan’s color grading was exactly what we hoped for — realistic and authentic, with a soft, timeless touch that makes each photo feel like a cherished memory rather than an overly edited shot. He gave gentle, confident guidance when needed, but most of the time, you barely noticed he was there — yet somehow he captured the most beautiful, intimate moments of the entire day.
His experience truly shows, and for the quality of work he provides, the value is unmatched. By the end of the night, even our guests were calling him “Uncle Alan” — that’s how loved and appreciated he was! We can’t recommend him enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer who is talented, kind, and absolutely amazing at what he does. Thank you, Alan, for giving us photos we’ll treasure forever.

Highly recommend Love Story Photography!
Alan was absolutely incredible as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met him, we felt instantly comfortable and confident in his hands. He has an amazing eye for capturing beautiful moments, and his guidance throughout the day was invaluable.
Alan helped us with everything from hand placements and angles to making sure we looked and felt our best. He was so patient and understanding, and he truly captured the essence of our special day.

Thank you Alan!
Alan did such an amazing day with our wedding photos and leasing up to it. He was easy to communicate with and super friendly. On our big day he was all over the place capturing all of our special moments. There were even some surprise pictures in there. He is dedicated and loves weddings.

Excellent from start to finish!
My husband and I had a fantastic experience working with Alan from Love Story Photography for our Safari Park wedding! Soon after sending off our inquiry, we heard from Alan right away who scheduled a FaceTime call with us. Little did we know, he had his lovely wife, Heidi, join the call as well. We immediately felt their warmth and love, and were eager to book them as our wedding photographer and ceremony officiant!
We had a great experience working with Alan prior to the wedding, as he was always so kind in answering any logistical and timeline questions we had. Having Alan and Heidi so in tune with each other really helped move the planning process along very well. They are true wedding experts and their guidance was instrumental to us!
The morning of my wedding, I was a ball of nerves, I was late to my first look, and to top it all off, as soon as I got my wedding gown on, my maid of honor discovered there was a huge black spider on it, which freaked me out even more! But, before I even had a chance to lay eyes on the creepy spider, Alan was down on the floor, cupping it in his hands and eliminating it from the room. I think that was the moment I finally began to relax and let it sink in that I was in the best hands possible with Alan.
I can't say enough great things about his talent and tact. He was organized and had many deadlines to meet to follow our timeline, but was still always kind and amicable to everyone who crossed his path. He delivered beautiful photos that had meaning to us, which had exactly the elements we wanted in terms of details, animals, and family and friend shots. I love the vibrancy and timelessness of the photos he produced.
I can't recommend Alan and Heidi enough. You won't regret working with these two awesome and kind people. They are wonderful wedding vendors, and even greater humans!

I’m very impressed with Love Story Photography!
I’m very impressed with Love Story Photography! I reached out to Alan and he responded to me right away. He responds quickly and addresses any and all of your questions. He was very kind and professional, which I appreciate. What really made him stand out to me, was that he asked me what my husband’s (at the time fiancée’s) name is and how our love story went. He genuinely seemed interested in how we met, our likes, dislikes, etc. He actually took the time to get to know us and to find out what’s most important to us. I figured if he cares this much about our story, then he will surely care about the pictures he takes of us.
Sadly, Alan was already booked the day of our wedding but he provided names of other people whom are on his team and a brief description of their personalities/styles which again, I thought was very professional. We ended up going with Nick who did a great job! I’m actually surprised that the pictures came out so well…I to feel very uncomfortable with my picture being taken so I tend to think I am not photogenic and look horrible in every picture. I think Nick could tell I was self conscious or awkward when it comes to taking pictures because he started to nicely coach me on how to stand/pose which was so helpful! I personally find this to be so helpful and I appreciate the guidance. As a result, he captured some very nice moments that will be framed and hung up.
The only complaint I have (which really is not a complaint but more of me being OCD) is that I wish he got a picture of me in my dress with the whole dress fluffed out (the veil and bottom of the dress completely stretched out/laid out) since I had a cathedral veil. Again, the pictures are very lovely! It’s definitely not a dealbreaker by any means but just make sure you say something if you are anything like me and suffer from a type A personality so such minutiae details stand out/matter to you. I do have to say though, I did pick Nick because he tends to do more of a natural look vs one of the other photographers who does a more romantic look so I really can’t hold this against as he was capturing the natural flow of my dress. I just felt it was worth mentioning.
Overall, I am very happy with Nick’s/Love Story Photography’s work. The line of communication was implacable, the people are nice, the pictures are good, and I think the prices are fair. I would definitely recommend them for your wedding or any special occasion for that matter. I’ve included some pictures below so you can get idea of their wonderful work. We are very happy with the end results.

Capturing Our Special Day in Perfection
💖📷 Love Story Photography: Capturing Our Special Day in Perfection 📷💖
Alan, our wedding day photographer from Love Story Photography, was an absolute gem throughout the entire process! From the initial consultation to the final delivery of our wedding photos, he exceeded our expectations in every way. 🌟
🌟 Day of the Wedding 🌟
Allan's professionalism, attention to detail, and calming presence made our wedding day even more special. He seamlessly moved through the ceremony and reception, capturing each moment with precision and creativity. He made us feel at ease, and it was like having a friend behind the lens. Allan didn't miss a beat, ensuring that every cherished memory was beautifully preserved.
📸 Final Images 📸
When we received our final photos, we were absolutely blown away! Allan's skill and artistry truly shone through in every image. The pictures were breathtaking and perfectly captured the essence of our love story. The candid shots, the formal portraits, and the little details were all beautifully presented. The emotions and the joy of our day were palpable in each photo.

Captivating Images!
We are impressed with the quality and level of service received from Alan and his Team! Nicole, our photographer was outstanding and went above and beyond what was expected of our day. There was so much going on that day that we didn't get a chance to truly grasp the moment or capture our own pictures. We were relying solely on the photos taken by Love Story Photography. When we received our photos, it was the first time we could relive that moment in our lives. Every photo was captivating and beautiful. A moment that we were able to re-live through every picture. The magic of that day was captured by Nicole so beautifully! Thank you!!

Amazing team!
Love Story Photography has an amazing team of photographers. After picking them I knew that I had no worries about how my photographs would come out. They were kind and considerate and understood what was really important to my husband and I. We wanted to capture the real moments of our wedding as well as show the gorgeous location that we were at. I recommend them to anyone in the area as they will make you feel like family and allow you to enjoy your wedding without having to worry if the photographs will come out well. A huge bonus if you hire Love Story Vows as Heidi is just as wonderful and are affiliated with Love Story Photography!

The Best Experience
I cannot say enough good things about Love Story Photography! Alan was very communicative from day one, and continued to check in with us and keep us in the loop up until we received our wedding photos. His team is absolutely fantastic. My husband and I are not people that feel natural in front of a camera, but Nicole (our main photographer) made it so easy for us! She was kind and funny, and so easy to work with. She made, what would normally be an uncomfortable experience, very comfortable and natural. Love Story exceeded our expectations in every way, and we are in awe of how our photos came out. The best day of our lives captured perfectly. Thank you, Alan & Team!

Keep those lights shining bright
Your wedding day is meant to be filled with people that love and support you and that includes the vendors for your wedding. Alan with Love Story photography was genuinely invested in the success of our happiest day. He is a someone that just shines with positivity and you need that energy surrounding you. He was patient, transparent with all of the contractural details, and was flexible with the direction we wanted. He kept us informed every step of the way. Our pictures came out beautifully and we’ve never felt more beautiful. We cannot thank you enough and so sorry it took me so long to write this!

Simply the Best!
Alan and his team went above and beyond for our wedding day. We could not have asked for a better experience. My husband and I are typically not "picture people" (we barely have pictures together lol) but Alan made it so easy! From our engagement session to the wedding, we always felt comfortable and at ease, which led to stunning images that we are going to look at forever. To top it off, Alan was genuinely just happy to be there with us and supported us wonderfully day of and the days leading up to it. I would not hesitate to recommend Love Story Photography to anyone!

Capturing OUR love story.
We couldn’t have asked for a more perfect wedding, and we are so happy that Love Story Photography was able to capture our special day. Angel, our photographer, helped us through our already stressful day by being kind and professional. He helped keep the pace by having a plan, and following our photo requests. The comment we get most from all our guests is that the day was filled with love from everyone who attended. Our photos encapsulate just that. Thank you, Love Story Photography, for capturing the amazing memories that I and my husband will come back to often.

All-Around Amazing Wedding Photographer
Alan's gorgeous, bright photos of our wedding have been dancing across the desk in our home office in a digital frame, and they look amazing!
Plus, with the Online Gallery platform the company uses, it was only one click to automatically save all the (almost 500) hi-res images to a single Google Photos folder (to link to the digital frame), or share with friends and family or print directly from their Online Gallery.
Alan was super attentive during the wedding, including photographing the wedding party at another nearby location ahead of time. He took charge of us the day-of and made sure we got all the pictures we wanted and even more we didn't know we wanted! Totally great, easy to work with, friendly, very fairly-priced, and a wonderful experience. Thanks again Alan!

One of the best decisions we made!
What can I say about our dear photographer?! When we first met Alan, we were instantly treated like family. He and his wife Heidi were super open with us, friendly, and really found a way to work with our budget to make sure we got everything we needed in addition to things we really wanted. Alan was my photographer, and he made sure to communicate with me often to make sure we captured every single photo that I wanted and had a clear timeline to capture everything. He was so reassuring and made sure I was happy and comfortable with every decision. Day of the wedding, he was FANTASTIC. You are with your photographer the entire day, and he made sure that we were comfortable, having fun, but still enjoying every moment. He was so flexible, dealing with last minute changes and any stressors without flinching.
And then there are the photos themselves. They are simply gorgeous. We have so many beautiful photos that really showcase us and bring back wonderful memories.
We can't recommend Love Story Photography more - our experience was simply the best.

Great Photography!
My husband and I got married on April 30, 2022 at the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa. We contacted Alan of Love Story Photography and he gave us all the details of packages and pricing and what to expect on the day of the wedding. He also took the time to get to know my husband and I as a couple and that was really thoughtful. The day of the wedding, Angel was our photographer and he reached out to us beforehand to make sure he answered any questions that we had. Angel was so great! He was nice, funny, patient, and explained how to pose, which was really helpful because we had no idea what to do at times. He gave us notice of how much time we had left for certain pictures and let us know there was time to do whatever type of pictures we wanted so we went with silly pictures and helped us pick some funny things to do as well. He made us feel so comfortable throughout the day and was such a great photographer to have for our wedding. I highly recommend Love Story Photography and Angel because we really enjoyed and appreciated their service and quality. At the end of the night, Angel showed us a recap of the pictures he had taken and we loved them! Can’t wait to see the full pictures when we receive them.

Wonderful experience
I hired Love Story Photography three years ago. Since then, I had to postpone my wedding two times, and Alan was very accommodating and helpful throughout that stressful process. All the years and months leading up to our big day this May, Alan would reach out to check in on us, and offer lots of advice and help along the way. On the day of the wedding, he was a pleasure to work with. He and Angel are incredibly talented, and the photos they took were absolutely beautiful. We also had to hire a new officiant three weeks before our wedding. We were lucky enough that his wife, Heidi, who has been an officiant for many years, was available on our wedding date. She was absolutely incredible and made our ceremony perfection.

My fiance found Alan and Love Story Photography for our engagement photos, and it was the most wonderful experience, and our photos are beyond gorgeous! I have never had professional photos taken, and Alan was great at giving us direction and making us feel so comfortable and at ease taking our photos. We're planning on using these photos for our wedding invitation, and it's going to be very difficult to choose just one! I would highly recommend working with Love Story Photography!

My Photographer for Life
Alan and Heidi are absolutely phenomenal! My husband and I, almost instantly after meeting them, knew that they were the duo we wanted for our wedding! Alan took our engagement photos and wedding photos and even though we’re now out of state…I tell Alan that he’ll be the person we hire to do all of our big life event photos for. We’re supposed to pick our favorite pictures and we can’t decide because we absolutely love them all! Alan and Heidi told us that they would be the aunt and uncle to us when we sat down to start planning. They were not wrong. I love that we can always text or call them and they’re happy to hear from us. Whether it’s about business or personal life. Hiring this vendor will be one of the best decisions you could ever make. Because they end up like family.

Wonderful Experience!
My now husband and I had to cancel our wedding due to covid and ended up just getting married at the court, but since I already had my wedding dress I wanted to have "wedding" photos taken. After contacting so many photographers I ended up feeling the best connection with Love Story Photography. They happened to be free the day I was thinking about and provided a reasonable quote. I really had no clue what I was looking for in location or looks but Alan really guided me in the right direction and I am SO happy with how everything turned out. I can't stress enough what a great experience I had working with him. He was very responsive and available for all my questions and concerns, super flexible in every way, and he is so talented at what he does. The name of the company, Love Story Photography, fits so perfectly because he was really interested in us as a couple and wanted to bring out our love for each other in these photos. Thank you so much Love Story Photography and Alan for being so wonderful and making me feel like I actually had my special day.

Great wedding photographers
I used Love Story Photography for our wedding in Oct 2021. I knew he was the photographer for us at our first meeting with Alan to talk about his services. We regularly commumicated via text and he encouraged me to ask him for help with any wedding planning questions I had. He made me feel comfortable and found beautiful locations at our venue to take photos. He showed me some samples of the photos he was taken through out the day and I can not wait to get our photos back! Additionally, we had to reschedule our wedding twice due to covid and they were very accommodating the whole time. I would recommend Love Story Photography to others getting married.

Go with Alan!
Review by wife:
Quick and to the point review for those who don’t have time to read a lot:
Alan Merrigan, of Love Story Photography (formerly Simply Perfect Images), is AMAZING. He is professional, patient, kind, fun, supportive, polite the list goes on! He is exactly what a bride and groom needs on their special day. Not only does he take BEAUTIFUL photos, he will also be your long-time good friend. My husband and I are SO lucky we found Alan and we have absolutely NO regrets. Go with Alan and you will NOT be disappointed. Wishing whoever is reading this a stress-free wedding and happy marriage. :)
Detailed review for those that want to know a little more:
Contacting and communicating with Alan is very easy! He is very responsive and very clear in his communication. I am a planner and I like to ask a lot of questions to make sure I get every detail. From my first email inquiring of his services to the day before the wedding, I was asking him questions and he was responding to them all. Never did he ever make me feel like I was being a bother and that I should just stop asking him questions. Most people get annoyed by all the questions I ask, but not Alan. He is welcoming of any questions you have and will answer all of them in a timely manner.
My husband and I decided to do an engagement shoot with him as a warm up. I would highly recommend doing an engagement shoot with him. It takes a lot of nerves off the wedding day FOR SURE. From my experience, it helped to have met him for the first time outside of the wedding day and also get used to how he works. You’ll be an expert with Alan by the wedding day!
The engagement photos turned out amazing! Honestly, when I left the engagement shoot, I was prepared to see pictures that would make me cringe a little. The wind was blowing my hair everywhere, I didn’t know what to do with my hands, I don’t know how to pose, and doing a photoshoot for the first time was just awkward in general. So, I was thinking…it’s ok, this is just practice! But somehow, Alan managed to capture pictures of us that didn’t make us cringe when we looked at them. Since receiving the engagement photos, I’ve looked at them almost every day. He captured all the REAL and NATURAL moments. Nothing was faked or over-posed. He directed us, but he did it in such a subtle and natural way that helped us to feel comfortable.
Now, we definitely knew we chose the right photographer and couldn’t wait to have him photograph the wedding day. Like I said earlier, all the way until the wedding day, he was responding to my emails. The closer it got the wedding, the more stressed I was. Knowing that I was stressed, Alan offered some advice and words of encouragement. He turned off the photographer mode and went into friend mode. He knows when to be “professional photographer Alan” and when to be “supportive friend Alan”. Both my husband and I appreciated both versions.
On the wedding day, he was on-time, professional, and he never got in the way of our family or guests. He blended in the background and on the sides while he took photos as to not interrupt conversations or the ceremony. He never asked anyone to pose or fake something for photos. He is all about the real and organic stuff, which we like. He was polite to our family and guests. To this day, our families talk about how polite and nice Alan is and they absolutely love the photos (engagement and wedding).
Because COVID was still lingering and vaccines were still pretty new at the time, we asked if he could wear his mask during the engagement and wedding shoots. Without hesitation, he said yes and he did wear his mask for us. We really appreciated that because asking others to wear a mask can be quite difficult as a lot of people are opposed to it. This just shows that Alan really is all about making the couple feel comfortable and that he would do anything needed to not add further stress to the couple’s special day.
In conclusion, go with Alan. We aren’t Instagram models and never will be. We are an ordinary couple who don’t get their pictures taken by professionals on a daily basis. We are just two awkward engineers who needed a photographer to capture all the precious and awkward moments of our special day. We found Alan. And it was perfect.

They don't disappoint!
I had my wedding at Rancho Las Fuentes on May 22, 2021, and my photographer Alan was amazing. I had a meeting with the owner, Alan, to go over details and specifics before booking, and he was very attentive, wrote down things that were important to both of us, and brought up special details that we hadn't even thought of such as; sunset time. He showed us his photographers work and we chose our photographer from there. Very professional, answered all calls and texts in a timely manner, and even asked if we needed help with other aspects of our wedding planning. As our wedding day neared Alan called to tell us that our photographer had a family emergency and wouldn't be able to make it, but that he would be filling in. Boy am i glad that he did, our guests and Venue owners were impressed with his attentiveness, energy, and personality. He NEVER took a break, he captured so many beautiful shots both posed and candid. He stayed in constant contact with us all night, asked what we needed, made sure we ate/drank, pulled us for different photo ideas, and was so lively. He was excited for us, and it felt like he was our friend more than photographer, it's very obvious that he LOVES what he does, and he has an eye on where to pose & how to pose. We haven't received our photos yet but from what he has shown us that night and the sneak peak he sent, i know were going to LOVE them. Simply Perfect Images is a great choice and their prices are not crazy, they truly think of their clients. We have walked away from our wedding day with a new family member...Uncle Alan!

Simply beyond perfection
Alan is the best in the business! Our wedding photos far FAR exceeded our expectations. His style appeased everyone from my classic portrait loving MIL to my candid, emotional self! He captured moments I get to relive again and details I missed in the whirlwind of the day! One of my favorite photos is of my dad giving me away, the emotion captured brings me to tears. Most photographers cannot truly capture the emotion that Alan did. Working with Alan was like working with family, having a COVID wedding was honestly a nightmare and I could not have done it without Alan or his lovely officiant wife (lovestoryvows). They (socially distanced) held our hand throughout the process & were even able to give wedding/vendor advice outside of photography/officiating which I really appreciated.
To the stressed bride or groom that is combing through countless portfolios, let me tell you: Your search is over, you’ve officially found the best wedding photographer!!!

Amazing Photographer!
Alan is the best. My wife and I used him for our engagement photos and our wedding. We don’t usually don’t like getting our pictures taken, but Alan made us laugh and feel comfortable the whole time. He made the process so enjoyable that we ended up using him for our maternity shoot as well. Our pictures always come out looking great and we really have a great time with him. I highly recommend Simply Perfect Images.

It was a pleasure working with Alan for our wedding photos. He was always super quick to respond to my calls, texts or emails. Also, he was just the kindest person, always giving positive and supportive advice. Asking all the right questions and creating just a wonderful experience for us. I didn’t have to worry about a thing with him. Our pictures turned out beautiful and have really captured the love of our family on this special day. Thank you for everything!!

We booked Alan as our photographer and Heidi, his wife, as our officiant. These two are the ultimate duo! Originally we were looking at another photographer but decided Alan and Heidi would make an excellent team for our elopement and we are so glad we booked them both! Alan's photography is clean, classic, and timeless. We absolutely loved our wedding pictures and highly recommend Alan for all of your photography needs! - Vanessa and Sean

What a dream!
Working with Alan was incredible!
From the beginning he was so personable and enthusiastic. My fiancé and I were one of those crazy couples that got married during 2020 and Alan really helped capture the day beautifully.
Originally we had booked with another photographer within Alan’s business, but due to covid our photographer couldn’t make the planned day. Alan stepped in and covered the day for us and we are so grateful he did. Our pictures are absolutely beautiful!
We had the pleasure of having his wife Heidi @lovestoryvows as our officiant, and I feel like it really helped having our photographer be so connected to our ceremony script. It allowed for him to capture some really incredible shots during our ceremony.
The cost was great and they worked with us on a payment plan option.
Thank you so much Alan and Heidi! You both made our big day so much more special.

Alan and his team were an absolute joy to work with on our special wedding day. Alan was professional, respectful and calming throughout the entire day, allowing us to truly be in the moment every step of the way and capturing the beauty of our love. We just recently received our wedding photos and are absolutely in love; we really feel like Alan captured our special moments so well! We will absolutely recommend Simply Perfect and use them in the future.

Wonderful Wedding Photographer
My husband and I were so happy with having Alan as our wedding photographer - even from the very beginning! We met Alan when we went to a wedding expo in Los Angeles. To be honest, we didn’t get much from going to the expo, but we knew right away that we wanted him to be our photographer, so it was totally worth going just for that alone. He is so kind and easy to get along with/work with, and he even offered us advice on dresses, cakes, and videographers that he knows and works with. Alan goes the extra step to help you make sure you’re getting what you want, and shares his knowledge and experience of the world of weddings. My husband and I were very nervous to have professional engagement photos done (professional photos just didn’t seem very “us”), but he made us feel so comfortable and the photos turned out wonderful! It was also really nice having the engagement session with him because on our wedding day, seeing Alan was like seeing a family member and I was so relieved to see him with all my wedding day anxiety. Our wedding photos are so beautiful and we are so happy every time we look at them. The album that Simply Perfect Images created for us is just breathtaking and we couldn’t be happier with our whole experience.

The Icing on Our Wedding Cake
I don't like taking photos and I tend to shy away from public displays of affection. However, this was my wedding day and taking photos is part of the wedding day itinerary.
Thankfully, we were blessed with having Alan from Simply Perfect Images as our talented and patient photographer. What I like about Alan is that he is genuine and thoroughly seems to enjoy his work. Alan has an impeccable eye for capturing expressions that are, like him, genuine and sincere.
Our wedding day was a long day, but Alan patiently weathered the moments when the groom and groom were about to short circuit from stress! Alan is a photographer/therapist who knows weddings first hand and he somehow manages to keep not only the wedding couple calm, but himself calm as well.
This is the hallmark of a true and gifted photographer, one who knows that the secret of capturing timeless images is setting the mood. The mood Alan set for us was one that allowed us to breathe, relax, and enjoy ourselves.
All weddings have hiccups and almost never run according to plan. Thankfully for us our photographer did run according to plan and went above and beyond to keep our anxieties at bay in order to make our wedding day a true success.
Do yourself a favor and book Simply Perfect Images as your wedding photographer because your wedding pictures are the icing on the cake of your simply perfect day!

Outstanding Photography Team!
We met Alan and his wife at a Bridal show held at the Double Tree Claremont Hotel which we ended up booking as our wedding venue. There were numerous photographers at the show but they were no comparison once we met Alan at his booth, the quality of his work and genuine personality struck a chord with us making him unforgettable. When we had our consultation meeting with us he listened to our vision, offered some suggestions and ultimately customized a photo package that would keep us under our budget. I wouldn't call myself a bridezilla but I was definitely very needy and he went above and beyond my expectations to meet every shot that I asked for and I continued to be impressed throughout the day of, at his improvisations and eye for the right angles. Let me put it this way, our wedding was at a hotel, in none of my bridal parties photos can you tell that we were at a hotel, he's just that good! I strongly recommend that if you decide to book Simply Perfect Images for your wedding make sure you include the wedding album! It's built to last forever and is a must if you wish to keep a physical memory of your special day.

Alan not only took stunning pictures of our wedding but also provided amazing customer service and got our pictures back to us way quicker than I even thought possible. He was also a very calm and steady voice of reason amidst the chaos that was Covid and wildfires. We couldn’t be happier with our choice.

Alan is passionate about his work, is so kind, has a great sense of humor that just put us at ease, and he is extremely skilled at photography- you can't do better!

I can’t thank Alan and Heidi enough for their support during the wedding process. They were not just for the photos but they were family. I have only seen a few sneak peaks but the photos look amazing. Alan had so many great ideas and he surprised us with a cute sign with the information for the wedding. Simple Perfect Images were so flexible when I changed locations and dates for my wedding. Thank you again!

Amazing Photographer!!
Alan was our photographer through Simply Perfect Images. We ended up delaying our wedding ~4 months, and then cutting down from about 200 to 20 people due to Covid-related safety concerns. Needless to say, we needed our vendors to be very flexible, and Alan 100% delivered on that! When issues came up, Alan was able to handle them in stride, and he never made me feel like our changing plans were a burden to him!
We met in person when we first booked with him, and he made us feel immediately at ease. With all the changes, we ended up having a few extra phone meetings too, and he was incredibly reassuring in each meeting. In person, he was very accommodating. He wore a mask and tried to shoot from 6 ft away to ensure our safety. He worked quickly and was well-organized on the day-of, but also was able to roll with last-minute changes.
The day after the wedding he sent us a few sneak peeks at our photos, which was much faster than we expected! It was so special to be able to see the photos and share them with our family that couldn't attend so quickly after the ceremony. The photos themselves look incredible! My mom says they are the best wedding photos she's ever seen ... although she might be a bit biased!
Alan is extremely personable, kind, and overall easy to work with. He is an incredible professional, and we could not be happier with hiring him. He is everything you could want and more in a wedding vendor!

Great, Uncle Alan is the Best
So two of my coworkers worked with Alan for their special day. After interviewing two other photographers we decided on Alan based on price (reasonable), references (my coworkers were very happy with him), ability (really liked his style), and comfortability (we really like the calm and easy get along vibe we got from him). The big day went really well, we really enjoyed the final photos and he was very accomadating and worked well (even with our non-english speaking relatives). Over all, if someone were to ask me, he'd have three another person vouching for his skill and quality!

We wanted photos that captured the moments of our special day vs staged photos, we now have the best photos that not only capture moments of our special day but also reflects us. Very experienced photographer who is also down to earth. Communicates well.

Alan perfectly captured us as a couple! We love the non-traditional and he captured that in every way! Our theme was Galaxy, and Alan was so creative that we were blown away by the final images! Not only was he punctual and professional but he had a great sense of humor and generosity that worked so well with our entire family and guests! Alan was able to rally our quirky and awkward family together (which is no easy feat) to capture the most personable and fun photos that perfectly reflected us! Thank you so much Alan for capturing our beautiful memories! We loved the entire experience you had to offer! We were so grateful that you captured us as the silly, galaxy-loving couple we are! Thank you thank you thank you!

I found Alan on yelp and knew by all the amazing reviews he was going to be great. Him and his lovely wife Heidi who officiated our wedding were absolutely wonderful to work with. He was so kind warm and friendly and made us both feel so comfortable and at ease during the whole process. We can't thank him enough and we have so many beautiful photos to choose from we just couldn't be any happier. Thank you again for a 'Simply Perfect' day!!! XO

Excellent Photographer!
We found Alan and his team at the Bridal World Expo and couldn't be any happier that we did! He was so great to work with and the photos from both our wedding and engagement shoot turned out perfectly! Alan was great in making us comfortable with the process and he was very attentive to what we were looking for in terms of style. He also regularly checked in with us regarding the wedding planning process which was so helpful and kept us from getting overwhelmed. Short story - my husband and I both highly recommend Alan and his team!!

Captured moments I forgot happened!
As many people may know, a wedding day can go by in a flash! You plan and want everything to be perfect but hardly get to enjoy it. With Alan's help, we get to enjoy it whenever we want. He and his team were able to capture or special day and those little moments throughout our wedding day. It really is such an amazing thing! I wouldn't have wanted any other person to be our photographer that day.

Simply perfect images from a simply perfect team!
THANK YOUs cannot begin to describe how awesomely supportive and terrific Alan and Heidi were during the whole adventure of making our dream day a reality. From our first meeting to discuss our grand ideas, up until our ceremony, they supported us endlessly and offered their full and honest advice about any little detail, no matter how big or small. They are incredibly good at what they do, so don't book your photographer until you book Simply Perfect Images!

Beautiful Photos & Fun Experience!
We had so much fun with Alan during our engagement shoot at the beach. The photos turned out beautiful and my fiance and I could not believe how wonderful every shot he delivered to us was just perfect and had its own story. Alan is a very creative photographer and made sure that we got some awesome shots. He made it very comfortable for us to just be ourselves and provided great suggestions on where to place our hands and selves, etc. He managed to get amazing sunset shots on a gloomy day at the beach. He is MAGICAL! We are so excited to have his team shoot our wedding, too. I will recommend Alan to everyone I know and we will have them do our future photos for other life milestones, as well! Thank you again! :)

Amazing photographers
Alan was great, he did our engagement shoot. They came out amazing, he made it so easy, I'm not great at taking pictures but he made it fun. We had Richard shoot our wedding. He was also amazing. He worked with us on poses and made our day special and fun. I'm really excited to see the pictures, I'm sure they're amazing.

A gifted photographer
We couldn't have asked for a better photographer for our wedding! The moment we met Alan we knew he was going to be professional, personable and perfect for our special day. We filled out a detailed questionnaire before the wedding. He was able to gather information about us and our guests to prioritize what would be most important to us. We had a small intimate wedding that was planned within a month. It was definitely stressful and hard to think of everything that needed to be done. It was so nice that we didn't have to worry about the photography part of the wedding. After receiving the photos, we were so happy with the results! The moments he captured were magical and brought tears of joy to the two of us!

Truly amazing photographer
Alan was recommended to my husband and I after seeing his amazing work at my brothers wedding in California. I was so amazed by his work and up beat personality that I decided to fly him in to upstate New York for my wedding 9 months later. He is truly talented and has such passion for his work that every picture is unique and captures the day perfectly. He keeps everyone smiling and joyful even if things get stressful and is there for you during the whole planning process. From tips on when to have guests arrive, to help in planning the first look and family shots his expertise was invaluable during the planning process and on the big day. I couldn't be happier with our decision to use Alan from Simply Perfect Images and would highly recommend to any bride looking to have her day capture in a unique and beautiful way. We are beyond in love with the final product and have Alan to thank for it all.

More stars needed!
Alan was absolutely fantastic. You can tell he really loves what he does. He made the whole experience feel natural and fun. We were having a small gathering for our family members shortly after our elopement and Alan was kind enough to get quite a few pictures back to us in time for the event! Our photos turned out amazing and we couldn't be happier.

Excellent!
We got married in Palm Springs in April (we are from Austin, TX) - Alan went the extra step to make sure that he did exactly what we wanted. He even scoped out the area to see where we could get some beautiful pictures outside of our venue. Alan sent us a few pictures that night to share with family/friends and then sent all of our pictures to us very soon after! He was the BEST! We definitely recommend him!

“Beautiful photos”
My husband and I hired Alan for photography and his wife Heidi to perform our elopement. They both were simply amazing and such sweethearts! Alan took photos of the ceremony, our family afterwards, and of us down by the ocean. Shortly after we left I received a text of a black and white photo of my husband and I, it was stunning and I instantly knew when we got all of our photos back they would be beautiful (they were)! Alan is professional and definitely recommend him for any photography needs. Thank you Alan!!!

So great to work with
Simply perfect images shot my friend's wedding and the photos were fantastic! So, we chose them for our wedding. Although we haven't seen our finished photos yet, we are confident that they will turn out great. Additionally, Alan was wonderful to work with. Both my husband and I are uncomfortable in front of the camera. Alan made it so easy for us which allowed us to enjoy the process. We can't recommend Simply Perfect images enough!

Phenomenal photography that captured every magical moment
I am genuinely HAPPY that Alan was our photographer for our elopement! We just got our photos in and I am absolutely thrilled to say that they turned out PHENOMENAL! Alan has the ability to capture the MAGIC in every moment and it really shows in all of our BEAUTIFUL photos. During the ceremony, Alan made sure to snap the perfect moments. Afterwards, he really helped us pose beautifully together around the best areas in nature. Alan is so easy to work with and our pictures will forever be in our memories. His experience is unparalleled to others out there in the photography industry. He will take absolute good care of you and your loved ones during your photoshoot. For any occasion you may have, don't settle for less when you can hire Alan as one of the very BEST photographers! We Love You Alan!

Unforgettable moments captured for our lifetime!
My husband and I knew from the moment that we met Alan, we wanted him to be our photographer. His shows exceptional professionalism, communication, punctuality, is personable and has a genuine heart. We felt like we knew him for a long time. We were honored to have him capture our wedding day and were satisfied with all of our photos. He recreated a pose we liked and captured that moment for us. He goes above and beyond for customer satisfaction and we wouldn't want anything less when picking an experienced photographer for our wedding day and family photos. We recommend Alan Merrigan.

Great Candid Pictures. We Felt Like Family.
We chose Simply Perfect Images because they had a good all around style, but we especially loved the candid pictures they were able to capture. And above all else we felt like Alan was just a part of the family from how comfortable and fun he made it when he was around. We even booked him for family photos.

We hired Alan to do our engagement session and our wedding day. So far we have only had our engagement session, but we are in love with his work already! Alan knows exactly what he is doing when it comes to setting up the shots. We felt so comfortable throughout the whole process and were in LOVE with our pictures once we got them back. We can't wait for him to capture our special day!!!

Their name says it all: Simply Perfect!
If you are reading this, you are probably looking for a photographer for your wedding. Stop searching right now and book Simply Perfect Images!!!! Best decision you'll make!! Our experience with this company was perfect from A to Z.
Customer service: All my communications prior to and after the wedding were with Alan (phone, e-mail). He is so kind and so responsive. Any questions I had, he would get back to me within an hour or so. I really appreciated the 5 star service we got, we always felt like we were the most important people :) Also, their online platform for invoicing and making payments is super convenient and very easy to use.
The day of: Andrew was our photographer at our wedding. Just like Alan, Andrew was so kind with us and all of our guests. He really had some great ideas for the pictures with our parents, bridal party and even just the 2 of us (we are both shy in front of a camera and usually not super natural, but he really helped us feel comfortable). So professional! Thank you so much Andrew!
The pictures: our full package was delivered right within the timeline they had promised us, which was about 8 weeks after the wedding. We got over 500 pictures and they are GORGEOUS!!! I keep getting comments from many people that these are the most beautiful wedding pictures they've seen. So many great memories that will last forever.
From the bottom of our hearts, my husband Mirko and I would like to thank Simply Perfect Images for everything! You are the best!

A day to remember
Simply Perfect Images was the best decision by far. He was the first vendor to reach out to us and completely brought our vision for our Big Day to reality. It was super easy to communicate, Alan the photographer was on time and made us feel comfortable. The results were so beautiful that I literally cried like a baby the first time I viewed them. I am still over the top obsessed with all the photos. He also worked with us financially with payment options. That was a day that will never be forgotten and I do owe it to Simply Perfect Images.

Couldn't be happier!
Alan is absolutely wonderful! He met with my husband and I a couple times before the wedding and got a good sense of what we wanted on our wedding day. He even met us at the venue (a country club) and toured the grounds so he knew where to shoot the day of. He really took time to get to know us. He was so kind and patient the day of the wedding. He didn't make us feel rushed, but he also didn't make us feel like we were keeping our guests waiting. He had the perfect mix of detailed images, posed images, and candid shots. We are so happy! Thank you, Alan!

Alan was absolutely amazing to work with. Our venue was a location he had never shot before, and within minutes of doing a walk through, he was already brainstorming and developing a vision. He is very creative and has a real eye for setting up the perfect composition for each photo. He is experienced and professional, combined with a genuine passion and enthusiasm for his craft which comes through in his work. Before our wedding, he made sure he was prepared by getting all the information he needed regarding the timeline, key players, and a list of shots we wanted. The day of, he made sure he got everything on our shot list, plus so many more. He even showed us a couple of previews, and we couldn’t have been more thrilled! He also did a great job of getting the candid shots without feeling intrusive on the flow of events. He was the perfect teammate to have in our corner, capturing all of our special moments. Your search for a photographer is over- hire him!

Alan was GREAT! He took the time to sit down and get to know us as a couple so on the day of our engagement shoot and wedding day he was able to really capture beautiful photos of us. We wanted our engagement shoot to be comfortable and not awkward and Alan made us feel comfortable the whole time. Throughout the whole wedding planning process Alan was really nice, he reached out to us a few times and always offered his help to us if we ever needed anything. He really went above and beyond to build that connection with us and because of that we knew that Alan would capture all the best moments of our wedding day. The photos came out amazing and we have gotten lots of comments from friends and family about how great the photos turned out. We really recommend Simply Perfect Images and working with Alan. Thank you so much again Alan for everything and all our wonderful photos!

He also showcased our elopement location (which happened to be Joshua Tree) in the most amazing way. I love our memories. Thank you, Alan! We are forever grateful! ~ Elgin & Tiffany

We have had the best experience with Simply Perfect Images. Alan is very professional and accommodating. He easily captures natural moments and turns them into beautiful photos and has a good eye for what would be a beautiful background. Alan has shot photos of our wedding a year ago and last month shot family photos for our one year wedding Anniversary. Its been over a year since we have met and we have still kept in contact. His wife, Heidi, was our minister and they make the best team. Its been wonderful to have Alan capture our special moments. I am extremely grateful our paths have crossed. We couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer.

Working with simply perfect images made the wedding planning and day of so much simpler. With their help, I was able to capture moments and expressions to cherish forever.
In wedding planning it’s so easy to get caught up with the multiple directions you are being pulled in, but they helped us to stay on track and helped move everything along seamlessly.
I haven’t met another photographer who truly understood what I needed and helped me get there. We are so grateful to have these amazing photographs from our day, and even more so to have worked with someone so professional and friendly. He is truly a hidden gem in the wedding vendor world.

We had Alan as our wedding photographer via Let's Get Married by Marie. He was incredible. You can tell photography is his passion. He knew how to position us for great pictures. Alan was super friendly, very down to earth and calm. He made us feel at ease in front of his cameras. My husband and I are super camera shy but Alan was so good he made us forget he was actually taking pictures. He made us look good! I had some ideas as to what I wanted my pictures to look like, and he gave me actually what I wanted and even more. I only received a few pictures so far and I'm already in love with them! Alan did an incredible job and we had so much fun with him!

His customer service is outstanding and his photo quality is incredible. He has such a good ability of finding just the right light and the right emotions to make every photo perfect. I highly recommended him for any occasion, he really is the best.

I can't possibly say enough good things about Alan and Heidi! We met Alan at a wedding expo and were impressed with his work and his prices compared to the other photography vendors so we ultimately scheduled a meeting and just loved his personality! We knew he would be easy to work with which was important to accomplish our photography goals as well as handling my crazy family. Sure enough, come wedding day he handled everything like such a pro! I had so many guests rave about him... before even seeing the pictures! I mean, I've been to many weddings, but I've never thought twice about the photographer other than when the pics came out, right?? We are beyond pleased with our photos and the whole experience. I feel we got such a great value for our money and as any bride will tell you, pictures are definitely worth the investment!

I was constantly searching for a photographer that was affordable for our budget along with excellent beautiful pictures that we could always remember and love for life!! Allan was very patient, always checked on us making sure everything was up to date, was on time to our wedding and took over 500 pictures which came out very beautiful!! I would highly recommend Allan to do your wedding. To have someone that is there for YOU and only worried about your wedding day!

Absolute PERFECTION - do not miss out on this talented photographer!
Alan is simply perfect at capturing weddings of ALL DIFFERENT STYLES. If you want a perfect white wedding, he'll capture it perfectly; if you want a zany color-filled wedding, he will capture it JUST AS PERFECTLY. My then-fiance and I chose our vendors so carefully that we began planning over a year before the wedding and didn't actually sign most contracts until just a few months before. Eek! I know. But we booked Alan for our wedding immediately AND for our engagement photos at Disneyland!
It is no joke that this guy can take a quality shot, but it is SO MUCH MORE than that. He captures moments the way they are remembered, which is no easy task. Moments of emotional height and elation are frozen in time and the rest is mild photo editing to brighten colors and soften areas you may not want in your finished wedding photos. Alan offers an amazing deal for hours put into extensive editing, if desired. He is very responsive and interested in hearing feedback from his couples. So don't be shy! Share your ideas with him openly and he will be your best asset in preserving your wedding day!
WHAT SETS SIMPLY PERFECT IMAGES APART FROM OTHER WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHERS:
* Price: Simply Perfect charges much lower fees than competitors of similar/lesser quality photos and services.
* Content: Never worry about sloppy photography errors like bad framing (ex: crooked photos), little attention to detail (ex: wardrobe malfunction), and bad timing (ex: mostly closed eyed or blurry photos).
* Color: Alan has an eye for color. He will find even the most subtle colors of your day and bring them to the foreground in the most delightful way.
* Attitude: These guys are down to do whatever you want them to on your big day. It's your day! And they treat you like it is. Plan out a jam-packed adventure of photos and Alan will make it happen!
HIRE THESE GUYS

Simply Perfect was an amazing company for our wedding day. We used Tom for our wedding and he did an amazing job with our wedding and engagement photos. He is such a talented professional and we were so amazed by his work and professionalism on our wedding day! Tom was calm, organized, and invested in capturing every moment throughout the entire day. He has an amazing eye and is able to capture the emotion of the moment with a documentarian's eye and a ninja's unobtrusiveness. Our advice...just be in love and trust us when we say he will do a great job capturing that. Thank you, Tom, for giving us gorgeous pictures of our wedding day that we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

Alan at Simply Perfect images and was…simply perfect! He did an incredible job with our engagement photos as well as our wedding ceremony and reception photos. Additionally, he was always ready to offer up ideas outside of photography like floral arrangements, color ideas, and vendors. Everything went perfectly. We only wish we had more time to take more photos, but he still did an amazing job with the time we had. Thank you, Alan, for capturing all the wonderful moments of our special day.

My husband and I decided to go with Simply Perfect Images. Our decision to go with this company was one of the best we made when planning our wedding. Allen, Heidi, and Tom (our photographer) were incredible to work with. Allen and Heidi were so professional and responsive with any questions that I had prior to the wedding, and were especially responsive following the wedding. When we received our prints, I nearly cried because I was SO IMPRESSED with the shots that Tom was able to get. We were so excited with the final product that we are going to be purchasing a wedding book, not only for us, but also for our parents as a gift.
We would recommend this photography company to anybody! They are reasonably priced, professional, and incredibly helpful during the planning process. We can't thank them enough for making our wedding day that much more special!

Alan and Heidi were absoutely wonderful to work with. Always very accommodating to our needs and willing to work with our crazy, contrasting schedules. We had our first meeting with them on Valentine's Day for crying out loud. And our photographs! They are absolutely gorgeous. We are so happy with them. There are so many favorites! Thank you!

This company is AMAZING! They're so fun to work with and great at answering questions and emails ASAP. They were an absolute blast to work with. We did an engagement shoot, wedding day photos, and a photobooth. They're wonderful about making sure you get the photos YOU want. We had so much fun working with them and the photos are GORGEOUS! Allen and Heidi are phenomenal and I can't wait to do a "baby bump" shoot with them soon. Definitely a company to look into; they'll capture your event in such a way that you get to relive it again and again like you're still there. "Simply perfect" is an understatement!

I just want to say that Alan and Heidi, the owners of the company, were amazing! We met with several different photographers, but no one stood out like they did. They were so fun and friendly. And we also loved that they were a married couple. Their passion for their work really showed. They showed us a portfolio of different photographers we could choose from. They also had super easy planning forms for what kind of pictures we wanted and also great prices. But the coolest thing was that they had a registry where guests could purchase like a wedding album or extra hour of photography, etc. I thought that was very unique.
So we chose Tom as our wedding day photographer and he was just as amazing! He was so nice, respectful and easy to talk to. He took so many amazing shots and was so focused the whole time. And he didn't make us do any cheesy poses either, which was great. I haven't received the pictures yet, but I cannot wait to see them!! Everyone loved him and thought he did a great job! I think one of the things I liked the most was that he was able to gather everyone at the wedding and get on a ladder to take an epic picture of all of us!
This is really a unique and refreshing company. I have zero complaints, and would reccommend them to anyone!

Alan and Heidi made the whole thing easy for us! Our photos came out stunningly gorgeous, I would absolutely recommend them to anyone needing a professional and artistic photographer. The wedding planning process was a little intimidating for me to take on at first and these two made everything so straightforward and simple that I'm just so grateful I found them. I knew the wedding day would be over quickly, but the photos last forever, so having a good photographer was a must for me. I can't say enough good things about Alan and Heidi!

We met with Alan and Heidi for our initial consultation and right away we knew we wanted to go with their company. They were so easy to get along with and really truly wanted to make our wedding as easy on us as possible and as wonderful as we wanted it. And they were so affordable! We looked through the photos that their photographers had taken and chose to go with Jeromy since we really liked his style. Up until the week of our wedding, Alan was able to answer any questions we had and he was very responsive. They had even offered their help with wedding planning and non-photography related questions that I had along the way. They're so knowledgeable!! The week of the wedding we spoke with Jeromy about the kinds of pictures we wanted and any concerns, etc. He was very professional and knowledgeable as well. The day of the wedding Jeromy was awesome! He was so easy going and directed us and was just all around a great photographer! Simply Perfect Images was amazing! We couldn't have asked for a better photographer!
