Chicago Wedding

Photographer

If I had to choose one word to describe myself, it would be:

complex

The combination of Sweet & Salty chocolate

The serenity of yoga & the strength that comes with lifting

Grounding in the middle of a field & letting go all night to EDM

High noon tea & getting messy in the kitchen

Fancy dates & digging in the dirt

Green smoothies & sugary lattes

“I was not emotionally prepared to see my wedding album, these are so wonderful! Thank you for helping to make the night so perfect!”

-Mallori T

Your wedding day will be full of complexities, and it deserves to be documented that way: the light and the dark, the laughter and the tears, the unexpected moments with the planned ones.

“The simple things are also the most extraordinary things, and only the wise can see them.”
— Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist

I want to show you that your story really does look how it feels. Capturing the light, color, and emotion that produces those feelings. The moments you are looking for aren’t posed, or static, but happen naturally. I am here to turn your story into a cinematic piece of art.

  • From Britny Smuk

    I am absolutely thrilled with the photos we got back from Alison! She was professional, communicative, and even down to add an extra hour of shooting last minute when our schedule changed. She had great ideas for shots and poses, and a great attitude. She was really fun to work with and I highly, highly recommend her photography.

  • From Maddie Zonino

    Oh my gosh, I have goosebumps. These images are magical and insane! I can't stop staring!

  • From Dani S.

    WOW! We wanted a fairytale wedding, and Alison captured it perfectly. Looking back at the photos reminds us of everything that we loved about the day.

the art of noticing

“Art is supposed to make you feel something, and I began to realize my appearance was my art. My body, my face, my scars told a story – my story. But I guess that’s how life works sometimes – noticing beauty only in retrospect and poetry, in silence.” Alice Wong

My practice & teaching of yoga has given me the opportunity to understand HOW to notice; what it takes to notice, finding a connection with breath in my body and using it everywhere else in my life. As your photographer, you are hiring not just anyone to come and capture your day, but the artist as a whole. Someone who has found trust in herself to see what others may not.
