from your photographer


As a full time Wedding   and Elopement Photographer, I can say there is nothing sweeter than a Southern Alberta wedding day! I love everything about my work and the wonderful couples that I have the pleasure of photographing on such an intimate and special day. My love of photography and the joy of connection is what fuels my passion for this incredible profession; I can't imagine doing anything else!


While my primary focus is weddings, I will never fully niche down. I truly believe that the family you will both grow to share together deserves to be documented and celebrated long after the wedding day is over, and capturing this growing love fills my heart right up.


My goal as a photographer is to connect deeply with my clients, capturing ALL of your precious moments. From your engagement session & walk down the aisle to your last newborn session, I want my clients to consider me "their photographer".


Being a small part of your beautiful, intimate and emotional moments is truly an honor - thank you for inviting me to share in your memories!

awards



In 2025 I earned placement on ThreeBestRated in the Wedding Photographers category and also placed Platinum in the Lethbridge Votes Photographer category in 2025, jumping two spots up from my Silver win in 2024.  


My clients and my business mean so much to me; so every award I win means a lot! I pour everything I have into each project I take on and always I aim to deliver the highest quality client experience possible.

A Few Facts

About Me


Wife + Mommy

I'll only show you pictures if you ask, but I'm totally obsessed with my husband of 10+ years and our two darling girls! Being married to my best friend and spending time with and raising our babies together is the biggest and best blessing in my life!

🖤


Born + Raised in The Lower Mainland, BC

Alberta resident since 2021

Still have my 604 number - not sure I'll ever give it up!


Hobbies

Fitness + hiking

Cooking

Reading mystery novels

Binge-watching domestic thrillers + true crime docs

(sooo romantic, I know)


Personality

Extroverted introvert: I am very outgoing, friendly and can literally talk to anyone - but I also appreciate the solitude of editing alone in my office 8 hours a day with a cup of tea and a podcast


Why I Do What I Do


I believe a wedding day is so much more than a beautiful celebration or an unforgettable party. It's the beginning of a marriage—a sacred covenant and a lifelong promise to choose one another through every changing season of life.


As a Christian, I believe marriage is a good and perfect gift from God. To love someone deeply and be loved in return is one of life's greatest blessings, and your wedding day is the joyful beginning of that incredible journey together. Whether your ceremony is rooted in faith or simply centered on the commitment you're making, I believe the promises you exchange deserve to be honoured with care and intention.


That's why I photograph weddings with the future in mind. I want you to have images that don't just remind you what your wedding looked like, but how it felt. The kind of photographs you'll pull off the shelf on your anniversary, share with your children, and one day show your grandchildren as you tell them the story of where it all began.


If you feel we might be a great fit, I'd love to chat with you and hear about your plans for the best wedding day ever!🖤

xx Allie

Notes About AI

+ What Makes Me Different


I do not use AI tools to cull or mass edit my clients images. Your photos will never be sent overseas to a random editor, either. I hand select and edit every single image in your album - as a rule, your photos will not be perfect, they will be human! Grain, texture, light flares and all the beautiful bits that go into freezing a genuine moment in time are lovingly preserved throughout my post-processing workflow. I only use automatic removal tools when absolutely necessary (ex. removing obvious blemishes or background distractions) and my focus forever remains on minimalistic edits that bring out natural, human connection.


When you book your wedding with me, you are booking out my editing time as well. This means my office/editing hours for the 1-2 weeks after your wedding have been assigned to your project, to ensure your gallery is edited and delivered in a priority manner. Each wedding I take on includes this priority service- I never overbook myself and instead prefer to focus on each couple and wedding project I take on, completing my workflow when the event actually happens, instead of waiting to edit galleries months after the fact.

My approach

 

As a storyteller, my approach is capturing moments between loved ones as they unfold using a mixture of both 'stolen' and 'staged' moments. My edit is moody, dark and romantic; I am not a light and airy photographer- I want people to look at my photographs and feel the mood behind that moment. My goal as your photographer is to capture the feelings and emotions between you and your loved ones in every photograph that I create for you.

 

 

 

 

"Where do we even start!! Allie has been so amazing to work with. We originally met her last year shortly after our engagement and did a fall photoshoot in Lethbridge. She made us feel comfortable and from the start we could see how talented and passionate she is about her work. She is so sweet and will always go above and beyond to capture the most authentic and beautiful moments. We were lucky enough to win a photoshoot for Brian’s parents 40th anniversary which is special, they never had professional photos together so it meant the world to them to have these photos together. Allie recently just did our wedding and from start to finish she captured every special moment. I am in awe with every photo and detail and will cherish forever. Thank you Allie, we appreciate everything. Not only are you an amazing photographer you are an even better person! I can’t wait for you to continue to capture all of our next milestones in life."

"Allie is absolutely incredible. She captured our engagement and then our wedding this October, and every single photo took our breath away. She didn’t just take pictures, she captured the feeling of the day. The laughter, the tears, the nerves, the joy… all of it. Looking through our photos feels like reliving those moments all over again.


Allie has such a calm, kind energy that made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera, and it truly shows in the photos. We’ll treasure these memories for the rest of our lives. We can’t thank her enough for giving us something so special."

Allie's creativity shines through in every shot she takes. She has a talent for capturing those perfectly candid moments that are intimate and romantic, and her eye for dramatic and gorgeous compositions is unmatched. Each photo reflects the spirit of the day in such a beautiful way—it’s like reliving those moments every time we look at them.


If you’re looking for a photographer who combines professionalism with creativity, look no further than Allie. We’re thrilled with how she brought our vision to life and can't recommend her enough!"

"Words can not express enough how much we love and appreciate Allie. We had our engagement photos done with her we are from Calgary and we drove out to Lethbridge and it was worth. We will be having her with us in our special day!


She made us feel so comfortable and we had so much fun. Getting that “candid” moment was easy peasy with Allie. I have not stop raving about her to my friends and family."

"Allie did our fall family photos this year! + a we shared a special announcement with our family; And I truly could not be happier! Her photos are absolutely breath taking! And she caught everything 10000X better than I could have imagined! She was so great to work with through the whole process and made us truly feel so special! We will forever be calling Allie for any more special moments we want to capture! And I would recommend her to ANYONE who asked me!

She was also so patient with our 20 month old through the would shoot! Which took such a huge stress off my shoulders!"

"Wow, what an amazing experience.Allie made us feel so comfortable and knew exactly how to pose us so the photos came out amazing. I was so unsure about how they were going to turn out because typically my husband and I both feel quite awkward in photos but they came out absolutely stunning. I am SO happy with them and am so grateful to have these memories captured forever. The turn around for getting them back was amazingly fast and the whole experience was 10/10. I can’t wait to have Allie capture our newborn when she is here!"
