Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?

Allegra's Studio was recommended to me by the Director of the Lynchburg Historical Foundation, Katheryn Moseley-Brown. Katheryn grew up in Lynchburg and knows everyone! When I asked for her recommendation for photographer, she told me that Allegra was, hands down, the best. When I saw Allegra's website, I made a request right away that she photograph our wedding. It was nearly 9 months before the wedding; but I didn't want to take the chance that Allegra would be booked elsewhere. Her style, her eye, the amazing candid shots as well as the posed photographs: Allegra has an innate talent that can't be taught or duplicated. For our once-in-a-lifetime moment, we wanted the very best.

Wow we are blown away. Of course it will come as no surprise to you that I teared up looking at them. Thank you for your thoughtfulness throughout the wedding and all that you did to ensure we would have beautiful memories.

You are truly the best and we will be singing your praises indefinitely to anyone looking for a photographer.

Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?

Allegra was recommended by another photographer who did not have availability on our date, but had great things to say about how Allegra captures all the little moments. We worked so hard getting the farm ready for our wedding, so photography of the day was really important to me to remember every detail. Allegra talked to me on the phone and sent several albums of examples of similar weddings and I felt confident her style would be perfect for our day!

Catherine & Cutter

Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?

We chose Allegra because she came highly recommended from the photographer who did my sisters wedding and we loved that she had different shots instead of the typical wedding pictures. As soon as we had a call with Allegra we knew it was a great match for our needs.

Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?

As you know, we were having scheduling/contract delay issues with another photographer we were working with and after another Google search and glance at your portfolio I gave you a call. You were so sweet, patient and understanding on the phone and were so willing to be flexible with us and our budget constraints. Having a contract from you withing 30 mins spoke volumes of your amazing customer service, attention to detail, professionalism and follow through. All in all just great vibes right off the bat. Upon first meeting you when you walked into the bridal suite I knew we were in great hands and you did such a phenomenal job, setting scenes, getting great lighting, reminding us to look at each other and not you :P , and getting the family in and out of shots so well - even having stickers on hand for baby Hudson! Your 20+ years of experience shines through in every detail. Also, totally amazing that you had a sneak peak ready for us by the next morning. I was not expecting that!

Heather & Mark

Why did you choose Allegra’s Studio for your photography?

We actually came across Allegra from reaching out to another photographer. Allegra was his top recommendation as she had photographed his daughter's wedding and he loved her work. We were actually pretty picky with choosing a photographer -- Peter (groom) does photography on the side, so he really wanted someone who would capture the moments that meant the most to us. After reaching out to Allegra and seeing how she captured both the bride/groom and the guests, we instantly knew she was the one. She worked with us through the pandemic and was understanding of the constant updates we had to make.

Why did we choose Allegra’s?

From Shannon & Paul

You did such a wonderful job capturing the relationships between Jazz, Ollie, and I. And I knew that I wanted you to do the pictures from instant we decided to start working on a wedding at home, instead of Maui. I didn’t know Paul when we did the pictures with Jazz and Ollie, but he’s always loved those pictures and he was on board as soon as I told him that I wanted you as the photographer.

Why choose Allegra’s Studio?

From Nancy and Basey

Allegra’s work is STUNNING. She is amazing at what she does and is truly talented. We couldn’t believe the photographs when we saw them – they were over the top.

Allegra is a joy to work with. She brings positivity to your wedding and is fun to be around. Our eight flower girls ADORED her (and so did we)! She works harder than anyone – I felt bad she was working so hard!

Allegra will go to the utmost lengths to get you the best images possible – this included climbing on top of a giant tractor for the perfect spot to photograph all our guests together. It also included letting us climb on top of her (yes, we climbed on her back!) so we could get (UNBELIEVABLE) photographs on top of a giant hay bale.

Allegra also brought a lot of much needed direction and professionalism to our wedding. We had a really big wedding and she did a simply fantastic job of documenting everything.

From Nikki and Will

Allegra’s artistic style and amazing previous work are why I was drawn to her. Her creativity and ability to think outside the box are exactly what I was looking for. Also when I got engaged everyone had advice for me on everything! Allegra was the common theme for a photographer, my friends and family said Allegra was the best! Working with Allegra was a treat, we had so much fun together and my photo sessions were one of my favorite parts of my wedding journey.

From Crishaun and Patrick at West Manor

As soon as I saw Allegra’s website, I knew that she had to be our photographer! Her work is captivating and it speaks for itself! I particularly fell in love with her infrared photographs because they are so unique and beautiful. Link to their wedding post

From Laura and Kwabs

We started looking for a wedding photographer long before our wedding. When Laura and I were visiting a potential wedding venue outside of Charlottesville, the venue coordinator let us look through photo albums of weddings that they had hosted. Allegra had shot several of the weddings. Laura and I immediately agreed that she had a great eye and that her pictures had that “wow” factor.

From Cindy and Brian

Allegra was highly recommended by The Inn at Willow grove and boy are we glad we chose her. She helped with every aspect of the Wedding! Link to their wedding post.

From Marion and Jon

===========================

I cannot say enough good things about Allegra!!! I am Italian and I got married at the Clifton Inn. I had to organize the whole wedding from Italy and it was quite difficult to pick all the vendors just from emails. I emailed 30 photographer and I immediately knew she was the right one when she responded the next day with so many helpful details and examples of her work!
She was on time and super efficient, with a detailed list of all the shots she had to take and she was open to new ones too! But the most amazing thing about her is her nature: she was smiling, kind and helpful the whole time, talking and reassuring my family and me, being nice to the guest and making sure to take great shots! We had a preview of her work the same night at the Clifton and all the guests were blown away! They all work in the entertainment industry and we can surely see a good pic! They were amazing even without any photoshop!

I am shy and sensitive and she was able to take picture of me without embarrassing me, it was perfect.
It was the best money I ever spent, seriously! she is great!
