There’s No Other Way To Remember This Time Of Your Life

The experience and process with this Houston wedding photographer

Lush, overflowing flowers set the scene as you walk into a stunning garden landscape, or perhaps it’s a villa with a classic white tent just outside, shimmering with lights. It’s classic, yet lighthearted and reflects the very essence of how you live your life. Inspired and with a tailored ambience. Let me tell you, this job of mine is what dreams are made of and I’m grateful to see you here.

If the romantic and true to color look of my photos is pulling you in with a connection and an aesthetic, that’s the first step. I take stylish wedding photos for forever-in-love couples with a belief that photos of the best day of your life, even if your wedding is filled with old-fashioned nods, should always make you feel like it was just yesterday. At least, that’s my take — using honest editing with a focus on the moment so you will never forget what this long-awaited celebration feels like.

Here's How

Your Fears

That Will Turn Into Happy Tears

Your photos give us the feels. How do
you do that, and what should we do
to help? We really want the emotion
captured.

We’re obsessed with your photos, but
what’s the secret? How do we look
that good without feeling forced into a pose?

We see a lot of over-edited photos
with colors that just feel off. How will we avoid that?

How will the ceremony time affect
our photos? We want the best lighting; at least, that’s what we’ve heard.

Are you the kind of photographer
who cares as much about details as
we do?

 I’ll follow your lead with my camera
in hand every step of the way to get
the very shots, often unplanned, that
bring back that nostalgic feel.

With your trust and my experienced
eye — I’ll know exactly when you
need some natural posing or candid
captures. I’m your guide!

I have a signature editing style with
the sole goal of honoring the natural environment. If you like what you see, then we are all set.

That rumor is true! Ceremonies just
before golden hour give us the kind of lighting that makes you glow.

I hope that question is rhetorical.

The Process



Remember when you two first met? The butterflies, the excitement and the hope that the other would be as good as they seemed? Photography is pretty similar — you start with the looks and then let the hidden aspects unfold. I mean, you do spend a lot of time with your wedding photographer so the personality is just as important as the photos. So, if you’re starting to make your fiance jealous over how much you love my photos, it’s probably time to introduce yourself so we can see if we hit it off.


I know these decisions are important to you and I personally know how the wedding planning process can be very overwhelming. As a result, it’s best if we can talk on the phone (or meet in person with a hot cup of coffee) to talk all about your vision, goals and story. Your wedding is so much more than a “calendar date” to me, but of course, we’ll get it blocked off on my calendar as soon as your online contract is signed and your booking retainer is paid. Once booked, we will also schedule your engagement photos, bridals or boudoir.



The wedding day (or maybe the wedding weekend arrives) and so do the emotions. My part in this show-stopping wedding is to do everything possible to get the honestly romantic photos that every couple dreams of. I approach weddings with a documentary style and even when it comes time to take portraits of the family or wedding party, I’ll make sure it feels natural. I am in no way a wedding director, and by investing my energy more into the present moment, the photos will better depict this breathtaking life that you two now share.



There’s nothing like seeing, sharing and printing wedding photos. No later than 10-12 weeks after the wedding, you’ll get that chance with an online image gallery and I promise it’ll be the second best part of your year (after the actual wedding day). And because these photos deserve to be displayed, there’s a built-in print shop with your online photo gallery. I also am a little obsessed with the print shop because of how accurate the colors are, which is much preferred over most corner shop printing. Your prints will be a tangible opportunity to hold onto this season of your life. Memories should not be on a hard drive.

FAQs

About working with this Houston wedding photographer



Romantic and true to life colors would be the start, but ultimately, the one descriptor that encompasses what I do is “real.” Real emotions, real life colors and really personal photos that feel like home.









Absolutely! In-depth wedding planning allows you to get lost in the moment because you’re not lost in the details. And that’s exactly how we get those breathtaking candid photos I keep talking about! I’ll share advice from a photography perspective on all things timing, lighting and even wardrobe ideas for engagement photos. Your planner, though, is the one who will take so much stress off of your shoulders when it comes to handling day-of logistics. On my end, I want my primary responsibility to be taking care of the photos you’ll be looking back on for the rest of your life.






For one, I’ll stay out of the way, but be there for every moment, helping and posing when needed. I’ll also encourage you to ask guests to unplug for the wedding. When they’re truly present, it encourages you to do the same.








Truth be told, it happened organically as clients and friends entered that stage of their lives. Starting with senior photos, followed by college graduations and then weddings — it became a way to continue my documentation of their lives. But I’ve also come to admire the way that weddings join two people together, along with their friends and family as witnesses. The stories and celebrations of these moments, the rare instances surrounded by every single person that matters in your life, that is irreplicable. I’m drawn to that.

What’s Said About The Photos + The Moments I’ve Shared With Couples

“Allison was SO much fun to work with and made all of my wedding photo dreams come true! These photos I will cherish always. She is easy to talk to and can visualize what you are wanting easily. I would
recommend her over and over again!”
Jordan-Champion Golf Course | Cypress, TX

“Ally is such a talented photographer! She made our engagement shoot so fun and personal. I completely trusted her when it came to new ideas and I'm so happy with how my photos turned out!”
Austyn Doyle | Galveston, TX

“I am so beyond grateful to Ally for the incredible experience I had using her as my wedding photographer! She was so professional and helpful throughout the entire process. She is always willing to work with you and keep things as organized as possible. Ally also recommended a second shooter and that
made things so much easier and overall much better. I can not stress enough how much having a second shooter helped with the wedding photos and wedding schedule as a whole. I highly recommend her and take her advice because she knows what she is doing!”
Meredith Igamelles | Angleton, TX

“Allie made our big day a breeze!! I had very few ideas for pictures/detail pictures and she was so helpful in bringing ideas to the table! She captured the few formal pictures I requested with ease, and tackled pictures with my crazy crew into the party hours! Highly recommend Allie for photos of all kinds, as we also did an engagement session with her! Allie- thank you so much for these memories and being a part of our day! It’s awesome to watch you grow not only as a person but in your profession.”
Loryn Detrich | Santa Fe, TX
