I run on shenanigans, sassiness, and an obscene amount of coffee. And I grew up in the mountains so that makes me a wildflower at heart and a mountain girl through and through. When we meet be prepared for me to crack jokes, laugh loudly, gesture wildly, and run full sprint towards something I think is pretty (while trying not to die). I believe in embracing life with a whole lot of weirdness, far too much smart-aleck humor, and every single ounce of fierce passion, obsessive gratitude, profound inspiration, and reckless joy that I can forcefully wring out of this adventure called life. So that's me.

From the very first interaction, their communication was immediate and professional, putting us at ease throughout the entire process. On the day of the wedding, they were a calming presence, helping me with my dress and checking in consistently to make sure we were happy. The final photos captured every special moment of our day perfectly - we are thrilled with the quality of their work and the value they provided. She was all around amazing!!

I love to mix in a little black and white, too.

Dean MacKay Photography has been such a joy to work with! Our wedding was back in May 2024, and with a reception do-over happening very soon (due to illness-driven reasons), we are looking forward to working with him again! Dean's communication is timely, professional, and always makes sure his clients' requests are completed (reasonably). Dean puts all of his energy in making sure magical moments are captured along with getting moments that are timeless and elegant. He was absolutely phenomenal to have as our wedding photographer and even got photos of things we don't remember happening! In making sure our special day is everything we could imagine, it was super sweet to meet and discuss locations, ideal shots, and more leading up to the big day (which made the wedding day a bit less stressful). Dean is also very reasonable for travel! If you are looking for someone to make your day feel special and candid, he is your guy!

Pawel and I have know each other for more years than either one of us care to admit. We met the old fashion way, in a bar and have been married for 10 amazing years. In fact it’s really hard to try and remember a time when we weren’t a part of each other’s lives and that makes my heart happy. We enjoy bad movies, old sci-fi from the 50’s, kung-fu movies from the 70’s and terrible 80’s VHS movies. When we aren’t photographing awesome couples you can find us wandering around the desert or heading to Las Vegas. We truly enjoy being in each other’s company.

Jenn and Pawel are absolutely wonderful! They managed to capture our day in such a beautiful, timeless day. They are fun, easy going, and GREAT at what they do. My husband and I were talking about how lovely it would be to work with your partner and best friend the way they do. The love and appreciation that they have for each other shines through their work.

The title says it all 2 of my best friends had already booked Ally & Andre, and seeing how they worked on our wedding day, was the reason I knew they would shoot my wedding, (even though I didn't have a partner at the time). Years later, they were the first vendors I booked. I wanted a romantic feel to my wedding photos, and they were fully executed, and I say that full-heartedly as I am a photographer myself. ( I am also picky) Out of all the things that came out of our wedding, our photos were our favorite. Ally and Andre were the most relaxing part of my day, and even though I was so stressed and my groom was hungover, their calm demeanor just made our day so much more special. I highly recommend them and expect more of my friends to use them!

Before I Tell You Story, Here's a Little Bit About Mine...My journey as a wedding photographer began with a love for capturing the world’s beauty. What started as a passion for landscape photography evolved into a deep appreciation for documenting the intimate, heartfelt moments of a wedding day. Inspired by my own love story and the joy of welcoming our baby girl into the world, my approach to photography is about slowing down, soaking in the present moment, and truly appreciating the beauty around us. Based in Southern California, I specialize in destination weddings and luxury intimate celebrations.

Marlyn truly is more than just a photographer, she is an amazing friend! Marlyn has shot our photos both for our engagement and now our wedding. Both times, we felt so comfortable with Marlyn taking our photos. It felt more like hanging out with a friend than being in a photoshoot. She guided us and helped us every step of the way! Our wedding took place at a community plaza and I was honestly a bit worried at first if the place was "picturesque" enough for the photos. But Marlyn is so talented and she really could see the beauty in everything! We got our sneak peek gallery and we're already so in love! The photos look stunning! We truly are so thankful for her, not only because she makes us look so amazing in all our photos but we also feel like we lucked out meeting such a sweet and genuine soul!

I found my passion early in life and was crazy enough to pursue the idea of sharing it with the world. I don’t believe in such a thing as “too much” when it comes to expressions of love – especially when it’s a wedding! I earned my bachelors and masters degrees in photojournalism from the University of Missouri, *cough cough* known as the best journalism school in the nation. Throughout my schooling, I trained closely with award-winning photojournalists Rita Reed and David Rees, and I’ve worked with organizations like the Washington Post and USA Today. In my limited spare time, you can find me hiking in the mountains or eating Del Taco.

Awarded Best of Zola
Working with Amber was an incredible decision. She is so talented and beyond kind. We first met Amber virtually and instantly connected to her. While we were planning on a couples shoot, my now fiancé and her were in cahoots for him to propose. She had even brought a bottle of bubbly to take cute pictures and celebrate! Amber was incredibly communicative, excited, and kind. Beyond a photographer, she is a hype woman and a wealth of knowledge/advise that she's more than willing to share. She sent sneak peeks 30 minutes after the shoot! And they were nothing short of MAGIC. I was at the edge of my seat for the full set, which she delivered EARLY. While taking photos, she captured romance, excitement, and even our goofiness. I can't recommend her enough.
