We contacted Alison just days before a 50th Birthday party for a friend - a last minute thought to have a photographer as a gift. Alison replied quickly that she was available and we are so glad she joined us. She was always quick to respond to our questions and ensured it was an easy process. The day of - she arrived early, took a few moments with us to make sure she had a list of the Must Have pictures and started shooting. Never intrusive but attentive when we asked. She sent the photos to us within a week and they are beautiful. ! She captured so many fabulous moments and most importantly capture the Birthday Guy having the best celebration. Thank you Alison !

Alison is wonderful. She asked questions and made suggestions before the event so that she could capture the right shots. She was unobtrusive and obliging throughout the event, moving through the room and getting shots of all of our guests and all of the key moments. She produced a lovely mix of candid and posed shots. Her work is wonderful -- the joy of our event and our guests totally came through in her pictures. It was terrific to have Alison photograph this momentous event for us.

Alison Kelly Photography's reply

Hi Althea! Thank you for your wonderful review . You organized a a terrific party for your father n' law and I was delighted to capture all of these special moments throughout the evening. I hope to photograph another event for you in the future. Sincerely, Alison Kelly :)
