Allen Photography

these three photos were shot in totally different places with totally different people. same energy every time though.

I don’t do cookie-cutter. I figure out who YOU are and we go from there.

I’m heading to Banff in a few weeks (April 27 – May 10) and I would love nothing more than to shoot an elopement while I’m there.

one spot. if you or someone you know has been thinking about doing something small and breathtakingly beautiful DM me “BANFF” and let’s actually talk about it.

I travel everywhere btw. always down. 🖤

Proof I have the best clients!

I closed out 2025 with a wedding that felt effortless in the best way. Stylish, emotional and so full of love.

To my 2026 couples, I cannot wait!

2025 humbled me.

This recap is late because I wasn’t sure I was even going to share any of this. It’s so personal. But here’s to a year of vulnerability.

Day one I got norovirus,(I should have known what the year had in store for me then) and right after that I went through some of the worst physical pain of my life. After months of brushing off symptoms, I ended up in the ER and found out I had a baseball-sized ovarian cyst, plus endometriosis and a lot of scar tissue everywhere and attached to other organs.

The months leading up to surgery were heavy. I felt like my body betrayed me. I cried in my car after appointments. I was scared, exhausted, and still trying to show up for life and my business like nothing was happening. Owning your own business can feel so isolating, especially when you’re struggling behind the scenes.

And at the same time, work surprised me in the best way. 2025 ended up being my highest-paying year yet, and I’m saying that with so much gratitude and a little disbelief. I was given opportunities I don’t take lightly, and I got to work alongside some of the most talented humans I’ve ever met. That support, trust, and collaboration meant everything, especially during a year like this.

I got “lucky” and had surgery in May. (This only happened due to being admitted in the ER) Recovery was rough, and a week later my wife threw her back out, so we were both barely functioning. We leaned on friends and family in a way I’ll never forget.

On top of it all, I was also carrying grief. Some days it felt like I was holding too much at once.

I’m still healing, still learning, and still working through it all. But I’m ending this year proud of myself for making it through, and really grateful for every client who supported me along the way. I’m walking into 2026 feeling lighter and hopeful.

Thank you for being here, supporting me, referring me to your loved ones, for the kind words/reviews, for letting me do what I love! But most importantly for letting me feel safe enough to be venerable. 💜

This moment.

That is all.

Enjoy the view

I just love this photo…so it needs to be on the feed!

Love is art, and I’m here for it!
