Worth Remembering

an experience

We are more than just photographers; we are your visual storytellers, dedicated to crafting images that echo the emotion, beauty, and soul of your most cherished moments. This journey is about more than photos—it’s about creating memories that resonate forever.

We are NOT your average photographers & you will get a stellar experience

I’m Alison, the photographer behind Alison May Photography, based in the Pacific Northwest. I document weddings, elopements, and love stories across Washington, Oregon, and wherever adventure leads.

I specialize in authentic, documentary-style photography and film for couples who care about connection more than perfection. With over a decade of experience, I capture real, unscripted moments—the laughter, the tears, the tiny gestures that make your story unique.

Inspired by misty forests, foggy mornings, and the quiet magic of the Northwest, I approach weddings like an old friend: calm, present, and ready to notice the little things that make your day yours.

Whether you’re exchanging vows under towering pines, dancing barefoot beneath string lights, or enjoying a slow morning at home, I’m there to preserve it honestly and artfully.

Timeless, emotive, and quietly refined—crafted just for you.

Here’s how I work with couples and clients:

Mentorship – Learn my approach to photography, editing, and client work.

Full-day wedding services begin at $7800 and require a $2000 nonrefundable retainer fee, applied toward your total balance.

I guide, observe, and create space for your story to unfold naturally—no forced smiles, no stiff posing. The goal? Photos that look like you, feel like you, and make your heart remember the day.

packages

Think in layers, movement, and tone. Editorial sessions are best styled with minimal palettes, rich textures, and silhouettes that photograph well in natural light. A refined wardrobe doesn’t need to be elaborate—it just needs to feel like you, elevated.


What should be worn for a session?

Yes—often and happily. Whether it’s Provence, New York, or somewhere quieter, I love photographing in both familiar and foreign spaces.


Do you travel?

I typically book 3–6 months in advance for portraits, and 8–12 months for weddings. However, I always welcome last-minute magic when possible.
