THE LENS
Behind
Hi! I am SO glad you are here!
I am Allie - your photographer, new best friend and ultimate hype girl.
My love for photography began at a very young age with a small pink digital camera. I took that thing everywhere. But it wasn't until 2014 when I started developing a passion for photography. It was the year I got my first professional camera and shot my first wedding! Throughout the years, I focused on graduation photos for high-schoolers and UF college grads (Go Gators), was the Photography Director for my church, and documented all my travels, taking landscape photos everywhere I went!
I always had this desire to do more with photography but never knew what. It all became very clear when I photographed my first engagement. I realized then - and have known ever since - that capturing creative, emotional and REAL photos of two people in love is truly my passion.
I am proud to say I am an internationally published photographer and I can't wait to continue bringing visions to life!

THE THINGS I VALUE MOST:
My Catholic faith, my husband, my family and my heritage. I am a Venezuelan-American married to a Colombian and I am bilingual! I am so grateful that I was able to grow up with two different cultures and languages in my home. Everything I have is because of the Jesus and His grace.
WHEN I AM NOT TAKING PHOTOS I AM:
03.
Traveling!! I grew up traveling with my family from a very young age and I was HOOKED. Exploring new places is a passion of mine! When I am not traveling, I am exploring new coffee shops and local places to eat with my husband, going on walks with my dog, watching the sunset on the beach or hanging out with my friends and family!
MY FAVORITE PART OF WEDDING DAYS:
04.
This is SO tough, but it would have to be first looks - especially with dad. It is such a tender moment and the look on their faces when they see their "baby girl" just gets me every time.

MY GO-TO DRINK ORDER:
If we are talking coffee, then it would be a pumpkin spice latte or some sort of cinnamon vanilla drink. If we are talking cocktails, it's a cosmo or mojito (or wine)!
MY HAPPY PLACE IS:

Local: The beach! I truly feel like I can disconnect when I am soaking up the sun and listening to music with my toes in the sand!
Not local: Europe - particularly Spain. I have family there so we go often and there is just something about the food, people and culture that brings me so much joy!

Y LOVE STORY

My husband and I met through mutual church friends in December of 2019 and it was love at first sight... for him ;) But really, we both knew pretty quickly that we were each other's missing piece. After almost two years of dating, in December of 2021, we got engaged and in October 2022, we said "I Do" in front of our Lord, our families & our closest friends. Becoming man and wife is such a beautiful Sacrament and has made me love capturing those moments for my couples even more.
