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.
Optional add-ons: heirloom albums, travel sessions, additional coverage, or custom styling.

All offerings reflect starting rates and are thoughtfully tailored to each client. Final pricing may vary depending on location, scope, and any custom elements included in your session.
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.
Yes—often and happily. Whether it’s Provence, New York, or somewhere quieter, I love photographing in both familiar and foreign spaces.
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.
Have a story to tell? I’d love to hear it. Let’s begin with a simple note.
