Kind Words

I love being a wedding photographer and I really feel that I have found what I am meant to do. Each of my clients have a special place in my heart and that helps me provide an excellent service to you! But don’t take it from me, see what some of my past clients have to say!


“From my first conversation with Alison, I knew that she had to be our wedding photographer! I quickly knew I loved her, and then I saw her photography. Stunning, real, beautiful. Those are just a few of the words that come to mind. Throughout the wedding planning process, Alison was there for any question we had. On our wedding day, Alison and her team were truly amazing. They spent the entire day with us. From hair and makeup 35 minutes away early in the morning, to the sparkler send off at the venue, and everything in between. Through her artistic nature and loving personality, Alison captures the raw emotion and happiness of a wedding day; what more could you ask for? We are so excited to see all of our pictures, as the sneak peeks she sent us have us on the edges of our seats! Alison is truly an artist, and I am so lucky to now be able to call her my friend as well as our wedding photographer! Your wedding photographer is perhaps the most important vendor you will hire, and I could not recommend Alison and her team at Alison Mae Photography enough!”  – Meghan G.


“A sudden rain storm an hour before the outdoor ceremony and the frantic reorganizing to move it indoors didn’t faze her at all. And she made sure it didn’t send me into panic mode either. The difference between her and other photographers is that she truly, truly cares about each client and their unique personalities.” – Stephanie Y


“She went above and beyond just being my wedding photographer. She treated me like a friend and it made my whole day that much more special. She was quick and efficient with her shots. She was tiptoeing all around my ceremony and I never noticed her nor did most of my wedding goers. She is fun, light hearted and a joy to work with.  I give her my highest recommendation.” – Aryn H.
