Professional Photographer + Instant Friend All-in-One! So happy to have found Allison! Gosh, so many awesome things I can say, so let’s get to it! Allison is professional, prompt, comes prepared (i.e. like appropriate lighting for our night time classic car pics), friendly, and has a wonderful positive energy about her. I appreciated that we had a professional photographer (that captured all of our special moments so seamlessly- like a photo ninja, lol), but also felt like we were spending the day with a friend. Allison has a lovely way about her, creating comfort immediately. She had suggested adding a second photographer to ensure we captured every angle of our special moments, and he (her husband) was equally amazing! She also recommended a hair/make-up artist by my request and I couldn’t have been happier with the person she suggested/and the look I received. Definitely recommend Allison!! Some friends of mine have said they’ve waited long periods of time for their wedding photos from other photographers- not with Allison! We had our massive online gallery in under two weeks! The quality of the photos and clarity were fabulous. She has a way of making you feel comfortable in front of the camera by providing great direction- so everyone’s a natural! :)

Absolute dream! Allison was a dream to work with. Her personality is so welcoming and easy to talk with, hilarious, and open. She is extremely professional and talented. We were blown away by her pictures and so was everyone else. She improvised so well with our Catholic service and eased a tense familial situation. I 100% recommend working with Allison! I am so thankful for her acquaintance & work.

Allison was phenomenal! We loved working with her. She took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. We also ordered a gorgeous wooden box engraved with our names and our wedding date, with prints inside as well as a USB of all of our photos. She’s incredibly talented in the photography side but she’s also a magician with the people she’s photographing! She handled our huge family so well and everyone knew exactly what to do! Highly recommend her!

Allison has a natural gift for photography. Anyone can take photos but not everyone can have a vision and make it absolutely beautiful. She put together the most beautiful photos I have ever seen telling our daughters love story. I would 100% recommend calling her for a photographer.

I just worked with Allison for my wedding and I couldn’t have chosen a better photographer!!! From the first meeting, to the wedding day, to our last meeting of seeing the final photos, she was absolutely wonderful, communicative, responsive and just so lovely!!! She totally understood our vision and what we were wanting out of our photos and man oh man did she deliver!! The most beautiful wedding photos I have ever seen. I cried a little at our last meeting because I was so sad that my time with her was done! Absolutely love her to pieces and her work is truly stunning. If you’re not using Allison as your photographer, you’re using the wrong one!

Wonderful Photographer! Allison did a fantastic job with our photos. She made us feel so at ease and was so much fun to work with. The pictures turned out better than I could have imagined. I can’t recommend her enough!

Couldn’t have been better. Allison and her husband were above and beyond our expectations in a photographer for our daughter’s wedding. They were professional, personable and the pictures are amazing. I would recommend them to everyone.

Allison Akins Photography is absolutely fabulous! She and her team were the photographers for our daughter’s wedding August 4, and we could not be happier! She exceeded our every expectation! She was patient and kind and made sure we got every shot we wanted! The photos are beautiful! Everyone’s smiling with open eyes! And that was quite a feet with 7 children in the wedding party ( 5 under 5 years old)! Thanks so much for making the experience so wonderful!

Allison is the best photographer I have ever experienced. She puts her heart into her work and is truly dedicated to every single customer. She is creative and goes above and beyond to be sure she captures you in the best light, angle and location. We have done 2 different shoots with allison and are completely in love with every single picture. She makes you feel comfortable during the shoot and is always prepared for anything that may come up. She even brought my daughters favorite candy during our first shoot just in case.

Allison was awesome! She Climbed to the top of a bluff in 90 degrees to get the candid shot I wanted. She blended in perfectly as another hiker and wasn’t noticed at until after she captured the surprise proposal. I wasn’t from the area so she even scouted the location the week before to make sure we had a solid plan to surprise my girlfriend (now fiancé). Most importantly, we loved the photos! Thanks Allison!

Allison was amazing. My sisters and I decided to get my cousin a photographer for her wedding as a gift, and due to logistical issues — my cousin and her-now husband live in Scotland and the wedding was in Nashville — the bride and groom were unable to meet with her until a few days before the wedding. Allison immediately put them at ease and helped them decide what types of photos they wanted. She scouted the best locations at the venue and made everyone feel comfortable while taking numerous combos of family photos. We decided to adopt her into our crazy band of cousins! Thank you, Allison!

We hired Allison last minute for my daughters elopement, she was so patient with us. Even with the rain halfway through, she made it work beautiful. We highly recommend Allison Akins Photography.

We were so happy with the pictures Allison took of our wedding day. With her enthusiasm and bright smile, it was hard not to look our best. We would strongly recommend that others use Allison. At the last minute, the location my husband and I had selected for pictures did not work out. Allison creatively had an alternative location already in mind and it was perfect!!

We loved our experience with Allison. She is very responsive and flexible. We booked our elopement and shot within a week. The experience was great and we had a lot of fun. I would recommend her to anyone!
