Hello Friend
I'm Alison - a wedding photographer for fun, lighthearted couples who are ridiculously in love! I'm from Pendleton, Indiana but love photographing weddings all over the united states with no travel fees for locations outside of the midwest... hooray!
I love spending time with animals, organization and anything light blue. I am a full on Maxxinista (shout out to TJ maxx) and have way too many post it notes.
I will greet your dog before I say hi to you, will probably give you too many high fives and will dance (terribly) with you on the dance floor during your reception. I adore laughing with my couples and helping them feel at ease in front of the camera. I put my entire heart into each wedding I photograph and feel that I have the best job in the world!
My story
When Zach and I got married, my photography was more of a hobby. Back then, I didn't know what I do now and we didn't value wedding photography as much as we should have.
Our photographer was a friend of ours, and as sweet as he was, he just didn't understand the flow of a wedding day or how to balance all of the tasks of a seasoned wedding photographer. As a result, the most important photos of the day - the photos of just Zach and I - fell through the cracks.
At first I shrugged it off and pretended it was okay. But when we didn't have those beautiful wedding portraits to hang on our walls or pass down to our future grandchildren, I realized the importance of photography.
As I grew in my photography career, I have always kept this experience with me as I photograph each and every wedding. I put my whole heart into making sure that each couple gets amazing images of their love story. Images that feel like them. Images they love, and images that will become their heirloom.
Why wedding photography?
Meet Zach
My (not so) Secret Weapon
Zach is not just my husband, he is also my assistant extraordinaire! His talents include carrying photo gear, bouquets, coats etc, keeping brides + bridesmaids cool, warm or dry, time keeping and even veil flipping! Having Zach around allows me to focus completely on the couple while he handles all of the miscellaneous tasks that pop up on wedding days. It’s kind of the best!
When not assisting me with weddings, zach can be found writing code, watering plants, tinkering on various garage projects or reading.
