Wedding photographers can be like a one-night stand.

There’s an initial attraction, they ask you a couple questions about yourself, you invite them to yours, they do their thing, and you go your separate ways.

 

(CHEERS TO BECOMING A MARRIED PERSON WHO NEVER HAS TO DEAL WITH THAT AGAIN.)

 

But you deserve better than that.

 
 

You deserve care, and attention, and communication, and all the other warm-and-fuzzy things my ex never gave me. (Kidding. Kinda.) Your photographer should feel like a best friend that you can’t wait to see, someone passionate about celebrating your love with you, someone you feel comfortable sharing intimate moments with—not some stranger you barely know.

Hey, I’m Allie

And I can’t wait to capture your wedding’s most colorful moments.

Wedding photography is about more than snapping a few pictures and perfectly posing your family.

It’s about effortlessly enjoying the day you spent so much time planning, and feeling confident that you have a professional in your corner taking photos that will turn into tangible memories to look back on—like your drunk aunt’s weird dance moves.

Get to know me behind the lens…

From Amateur-Level Facebook Album Creator to Professional Wedding Album Curator 

Before I help you tell your story, I figured it’d only be right to share my story with you. I wish I could tell you that it was a life-changing, monumental tale...but the reality of it is this: 

I’d always been the annoying friend with the camera. You know the one I mean; the one who spent her Sunday afternoons after a night out uploading hundreds of photos to a Facebook album and ruthlessly tagging her friends.

So, after a series of boring corporate jobs and fast-paced project management roles—and a rage-quit situation that we don’t need to talk about—photography felt like the perfect way to transition from ‘work sucks’ to ‘hey, work is fun!’

And now people find my camera a whole lot less annoying. 


Ramona Bravo TV RHONY

Bravo tv is my lifeline.

Other photographers simply don’t have the ~depth~ of someone who binge-watches Below Deck on her editing breaks and considers Real Housewives a respectable work of art.

 
 
 

Jam bands are, well, my jam!

Did you know Pink Talking Fish has been a wedding band?

(You’re welcome for that information. Also, if you book them for your wedding, you will be required to also book me. Thank you and good night.)

 

Peace. Love. Jerry Garcia.

LET’S GET PERSONAL.

 

My work is my art, and I want you to feel like you know what you’re signing up for when you decide to work with me: a committed photographer, a best friend, a confidant, and a diehard Mets fan (they’re actually really good now - go look it up).

 

FAVORITE PLACE

Six Flags Great Adventure - the top of a rollercoaster right before it drops. I’m a long-time season pass holder, and when I was younger, I told my mom that I'd be getting married there.

 
 

SIMPLE PLEASURES

Salty beach air over morning coffee, espresso martinis, maximalist interior design, outdoor showers after a long summer day, and road trips with good friends, lots of singalongs, and blunts. (Am I allowed to say this on my business website? Oh, well.)

MUSIC CHOICE

From 2000s emo to the Grateful Dead, I’ll listen to anything that gives me jam vibes...but I can also rap my little heart out to Lil Wayne. (I'm well-rounded. And, yes, I will perform my own personal cover of A Milli at your wedding, but it’ll cost you extra.)

 
 

ALWAYS DOWN FOR

Meeting new people, making art, a new restaurant, hearing (and creating!) stories, making people laugh, and supporting them in doing whatever TF they want.

 

 

Aaaand now you know everything you need to know about me. 

It’s my turn to get to know you.
