Mott Collective

Mott Collective Mott Collective captures real, unscripted CT weddings with care and artistry. Hi, I’m Allison. I’m the heart behind Allison Cheng Photography!

Led by Allison, we offer a calm experience including two photographers, custom timeline planning, a fast weekend sneak peek, and a premium heirloom album built to last. My journey into photography started through my amazing gymnastics community, and it’s taken me on the most incredible ride — from photographing the 2016–2024 Gymnastics Championships and Olympic Trials 🏅 to capturing everyday magic

like weddings, families, seniors, and more 💍👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🎓

I’m proud to be a USA Gymnastics Staff Photographer and the Chief Photographer for my family’s company, Team Photo 📸

When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me rock climbing 🧗‍♀️, adventuring with my husband and our pups 🐶, or enjoying the outdoors. I was born in Texas, raised in Connecticut, and always chasing life’s beautiful, messy, unforgettable moments ✨

I photograph with a candid, lifestyle approach — because your story deserves to be told just the way it is: real, joyful, and full of heart ❤️

There is nothing I love more, than spending a weekend with you. 🥂✨💍

Full weekend coverage goes beyond adding extra hours, it’s about capturing the complete narrative and atmosphere of your celebration. 💖

From the excitement of Angela & Tim’s New York rehearsal dinner to their beautiful October wedding day, documenting a multi-day experience means catching every intimate toast, warm embrace, and the incredible energy building up to the big day.

✨ Ready to tell your full weekend story? We are officially booking multi-day wedding experiences for 2027 and 2028. Tap the link in our bio to check availability and let’s start planning yours!

Getting ready at Delamar Mystic? 🥂

Your dress is easily one of the most personal investments you’ll make for your wedding day, and getting those high end, editorial shots requires a little more than just hanging it on a closet door frame.

I put together a quick guide on how to capture clean, artful dress and shoe details using the indoor light and architecture at Delamar (including a few simple tricks like upgrading your hanger and styling your heels at the base of your gown).

Check out the full guide on the blog! (which I'm doing my best to post more of on! 🤞🏽)

A little late to the anniversary celebration, but this love story was too special not to share. 🤍

One year ago, on June 29, 2025, these two said “I do,” and I had the honor of capturing all the love, joy, and emotions that filled their wedding day.

Happy belated first anniversary to this beautiful couple! Wishing you a lifetime of happiness, laughter, and love. ✨

I put together a little love letter to this season of motherhood on the blog, along with a peek into our year at home. ☕ Grab a coffee and give it a read here:

Motherhood changed the way I look through my camera lens.

A messy house became proof of a deeply lived-in home, toothless belly giggles became my most favorite sound, and those sleepy morning hugs with Milo became the warmest place on earth.

When I'm with your family, those are the things I'm looking for.

People always say, "I wish I could bottle up this moment and keep it forever." I know exactly what they mean. To have something you could pull off the shelf years from now and remember not just what life looked like, but what it felt like too.

That's why I do what I do.

I document your family exactly as you are. The ordinary moments that quietly become the ones you miss most. The details that change before you even realize they're gone.

So years from now, when you want to revisit this season of life, you'll have more than photographs.

You'll remember how it felt.

Because I know just how quickly these seasons change. From one mama to another. 🤍

P.S. If you're a returning family, ask me about my returning family sessions and exclusive returning-client pricing. I'd love to see you again. 🤍

It’s getting near that time!

True presence isn’t accidental, it’s directed.
Whether we are stepping into a corporate headquarters or welcoming a team into a creative studio space, our headshot collections are built on a single philosophy: providing active, confident coaching and directive posing so every single team member looks completely authentic and polished.

We know that organizing portraits for 20, 50, or 100+ people can feel like a massive administrative hurdle. That’s why we’ve streamlined our entire system. From structured MSA contracting down to our high efficiency mobile setups, so your HR and accounting departments don’t have to lift a finger.

For our high volume corporate sessions, we deploy up to two simultaneous headshot stations, photographing up to 15 people every 10 minutes per station. It means getting your entire team in, out, and back to work as efficiently and seamlessly as possible.

Backed by years of experience handling large scale university collections like Southern Connecticut State University and Yale’s School of Management, we ensure flawless, complete visual consistency across your entire corporate directory.
