Hey friends!! 🤍

I figured it was time for an updated “get to know me” post and a big welcome to all of the new friends who have followed along recently! 🥂

Hi!! If we haven’t officially met yet, my name is Allison! I’m a born-and-raised St. Louis girl, and I absolutely love this little city of mine. From the beautiful parks and hidden gems to the historic architecture, there’s so much beauty here to love. ✨

And if you didn’t already know… I LOVE documenting love stories. 🥹🤍

I’ve been obsessed with weddings for as long as I can remember, so it’s no surprise that I made a career out of it! I picked up my first professional camera in high school, started shooting weddings a year later, and am now entering my 8th year as a wedding photographer! 📸

What I love most about this job is preserving your memories so you can relive them for years to come. I capture the happy tears, belly laughs, family hugs, first kisses, and all the little in-between moments that make your day yours. 🤍

It’s such a privilege to do what I love, and it’s an even greater honor to document the special moments in your lives. I’m so grateful to call this my career. 🥹

A little about me outside of weddings…

☕️ Always down to check out a new coffee shop
🛍️ LOVE thrifting and wandering through antique malls
🏡 Currently loving all things home and making our house feel like us
💍 I married my absolute best friend this summer, and we’re loving building our life together
🫶🏼 I’m an Enneagram 2 and naturally a helper. I love making people feel comfortable, cared for, and celebrated
✝️ I love the Lord and am so thankful He has given me this passion and career. 🙏🏼

If you’re new around here, I’m so glad you’re here. Thank you for supporting this little corner of the internet and my business! 🫶🏼

Finally getting around to sharing some favorites from Sarah & Ryan’s engagement session at WashU in St. Louis 🤍 The campus grounds truly feel like another place — the architecture, greenery, and dreamy light creating the most ethereal setting for these two. And somehow we’re officially under the one-year mark until I get to celebrate Sarah & Ryan as they become husband and wife! I already know their wedding day at the Weddings at Piazza Messina is going to be one for the books, and I cannot wait. ✨

One of the most important decisions you’ll make while planning your wedding isn’t just choosing a photographer whose work you love—it’s choosing someone you genuinely love being around.

Your wedding photographer is with you for the majority of your wedding day. From the quiet moments while you’re getting ready to your last dance, we’re by your side through so many of the moments that matter most. That’s why it’s so important to choose someone who makes you feel comfortable, seen, and truly cared for.

Your photographer should be more than someone taking beautiful photos. They should be someone who calms your nerves when the timeline shifts, hypes you up when you need a confidence boost, fixes your veil, celebrates with your family, and goes with the flow when the unexpected happens. Your day isn’t about creating perfect photos—it’s about preserving the moments exactly as they unfold.

The best images happen when you feel safe enough to be fully yourselves. When you’re laughing without thinking about the camera, wiping away happy tears, squeezing each other’s hands a little tighter, and soaking in every second.

My goal has always been to create more than a beautiful gallery. I want to be someone you can lean on throughout the day—a calming presence, your biggest cheerleader, and someone who genuinely cares about your experience from beginning to end.

Because years from now, I don’t just want you to love your photos. I want you to remember how you felt while they were being taken. 🤍
