Nice to meet you!
I’m Alison Oliver. Most days you’ll find me in my rural home office, with a cup of tea, a smile on my face and two assistants happily napping at my feet (Disney the black labradoodle and Oscar the furry feline). I’m mostly known for my love of animals and my relaxed style & approach to photography. I love serving the world by creating storytelling imagery that helps clients relive their wedding day or to remember their best fur friends in the years to come.

TESTIMONIALS
"Leading up to our pandemic wedding, Alison was incredibly accommodating and willing to roll with the constantly shifting plans as guidelines and protocols evolved. Her creativity ensured we got fantastic shots, while maintaining physical distancing. She didn’t even blink when we suggested she climb a giant ladder to get an overhead group shot of all our guests safely spaced out.
She’s like a photo ninja, capturing the most amazing pictures of our day while remaining completely unintrusive. So many of our guests commented on how great she was.
Her calm and fun personality put everyone at ease. Meanwhile, her professional and highly organized approach ensured we got exactly the photos we wanted but weren’t spending hours doing photos after the ceremony.
Finally, the results speak for themselves. We couldn’t be happier with how our photos turned out. Alison truly captured the joy of our day and made us look dang good in the process. Thanks to her, we have the most welcome problem of sorting through so many wonderful options to decide which ones we want to hang on our walls.
Thank you Alison. You’ve given us photos we will cherish for the rest of our lives."

"Alison was such a wonderful addition to our day! She gave us such helpful suggestions ( what to do with our hands, where to put the flowers, how to stand, where to look) which made things so much quicker and more efficient so that we could optimize our time with our guests. She was on the ball with timing, whisked us out for our sunset pictures without anyone really noticing and helped so much with the general flow of our day. Alison was friendly, helpful, had a great sense of humour and went with the flow. Within 48 hours, Alison had our sneak peek pictures ready and within a week she had a blog post up with several edited photos. Within one month of our wedding she had our entire gallery delivered and we got an amazing little package in the mail with a custom box, custom engraved USB and 5 portraits. Alison was professional, friendly, and extremely responsive throughout our planning and afterwards. Our photos turned out so well and we are extremely happy with the gallery. I would highly recommend Alison's services to anyone as we had a 10/10 experience with her. Thank you for capturing our day perfectly Alison!"

"Alison was fantastic from the moment we met her. My (now) husband I are not most comfortable in front of a camera, but Alison took the time to coach us and also let us do what felt most natural. On our big day she commandeered a wedding party of 16 hooligans and produced the most amazing shots, even though I thought it would be impossible. Everyone is beyond thrilled with how the photos turned out and we would work with her again in a heartbeat!"

TESTIMONIALS
"After our wedding day, Kyle and I talked about the photos and agreed that we were both surprised there wasn't more posing involved and awkward instructions on hand placement and head tilts and facial expressions. With so little prompting, I was worried about how we might look but had full faith in Alison. When we received our photos we were blown away, the pictures completely exceeding our initial expectations. You captured the real moments, the truest emotions, and the honest nature of our relationships and the love of our friends and family. Thank you for not making one moment of this experience feel staged. We look exactly how we felt on our wedding day, and that is all we could have asked for!"

TESTIMONIALS
“Andrew and I first met Alison for our engagement photos in June 2016. We then booked her for our wedding in June 2017. She is very easy to like because of her genuine care and friendly personality! She is very professional and a great communicator, it was easy to discuss logistics with her through email, directing us while taking the pictures and showing interest in our visions and wants for our photos. She cares about what she does and it shows in her work! The photos are gorgeous and we are excited that we have them to look back on for years to come! We highly recommend her!”

TESTIMONIALS
We're so glad we booked Alison to photograph our wedding. Since we don't live in Huron County, it was important for us to choose a local photographer who has a good eye for the landscape - and Alison was just that. From the very beginning, she was very accommodating and offered great suggestions to help bring our vision to life. Alison and her assistant kept everyone on schedule on the wedding day (we ended up with time to spare!) and made sure we all felt comfortable. She even sent over a few sneak peek shots before we left on our honeymoon, and the full set of photos arrived faster than we expected. We can't recommend Alison highly enough!

We could not be happier with our experience with Alison. She is friendly, inviting, and professional. She captured our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier with her work! Pricing is affordable and she works with you to make things flexible for your budget. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone. Thank you Alison for our wonderful photos that we will cherish forever!

We cannot thank Alison enough for making our day stress free and for capturing beautiful pictures that really reflect what we wanted. Her organized but positive personality helped us to be calm and allowed us to really enjoy our day!

TESTIMONIALS
It was wonderful having Alison as our photographer on our wedding day. She came prepared with little touches, like a lovely "Mrs" hanger for my dress, that I simply wouldn't have thought of in the busy days leading up to the wedding. We had tons of gorgeous shots to choose from and she found beautiful settings around our ceremony/location site that we never would have found ourselves. She is also very easy-going and patient, which was prefect for my "like-herding-cattle" wedding party :)

TESTIMONIALS
With neither of us being from the area but knowing that we wanted to get married at Benmiller, we were hopeful that all of our vendors (with the exception of 1) were from the area. The minute we met Alison, we knew she was the photographer for us. We had met others, but no one came close. Not only did she understand what we wanted, she helped us with other vendors and could see exactly what we wanted. She was super helpful with every aspect of our wedding, not just the photography. When our "winter" wedding was melted away with an unseasonably warm spell in February and more rain then anyone could have anticipated, she came through with different locations and ideas as we walked around the property in the rain looking for the snowy parts. We would without any reservation recommend her to anyone in the area. Thank you for capturing one of the most special days in our lives.
