About Allison

A Britton Photography provides fun, contemporary, and emotional images to clients who seek a photographer who will not only take the time to get to know them as a couple but will also strive to meet and exceed their expectations throughout the planning process.

I feel honored to work with each of my clients to capture special moments throughout the wedding day, whether those moments are as obvious to your friends and family as the first kiss during the ceremony or as small as a smile at your new husband when you think no one is watching. I strive to provide an unobtrusive photography experience that will not only make you feel relaxed and comfortable on your wedding day but will also allow you to forget about your photographer and enjoy the beauty of spending such a fantastic day with your friends and family.

I am a proud member of National Association of Charitable Photographers~giving back and Professional Photographers Association (PPA)

Jordan and Tim’s Wedding 6/7/08

July 5, 2008 – 6:38 pm

Jordan and Tim’s wedding was beautiful at The Regency at Dominion Valley in Haymarket, VA.  The day was so hot the couple had to move their ceremony inside, the backdrop was still beautiful.  I really got to know this couple over the last couple of months and the ceremony was very touching to witness.  I was lucky enough to have my friend Erin from Halo Photo come and get some great stuff of the guys!  It looks like they had such a blast and you can see some of her shots in the slideshow and on her blog.  I know Jordan has been stalking the blog waiting for these to be posted!  I hope you both enjoy them and see you soon for your post session.

K and V’s Engagement Session

June 30, 2008 – 6:32 am

K and V were a blast the other night in Old Town Alexandria.  Old Town is a great location for an engagment session, there are alleys, storefronts, waterfront, boats and even people’s houses that make awesome drops. I love the little park (inside story as we went hunting for it). The door is just amazing and one of my favorite parts of this location. They were up for all my ideas and I enjoyed getting to know these two just a little better.  Their first date was actually here and they hung out together on the water.  How romantic!!  I am very excited to see them again for their 2 day ceremony.  I know the wedding is going to be just perfect.  Here are some highlights from the session.

I am a little over a week late posting this but Lauren started camp this year w/her big brother.  After the summer she will start preschool.  Wow time flies.  So here are Aaron and Lauren on their first day of camp.  These images so remind me of the ones my Mom took of me and my Brother every year!

Sarah and Jorge’s Wedding 5/30/08

June 24, 2008 – 7:55 pm

What a beautiful wedding that Sarah and Jorge had at MeadowLark Botanical Gardens.  Sarah’s choice of hot pink tables just popped and added to the beauty of this venue.  The ceremony was outside just as the sun was setting.  The atrium was just a beautiful location for a reception and I enjoyed seeing all of the guests dance the night away.  Just perfect and congrats to you both!


I love this one of Sarah’s Dad looking at her to see if she is ready


formal fun

Wii Fit

June 19, 2008 – 9:37 am

So I broke it out of the box last night. The kids were amused and thinking they were going to get a turn. Not the case this bad boy is mine (just like the system is but the 7 year old leaves it in his room and has made it his own) not anymore buddy!!!

So you have to go through this whole process of standing still and align your body straight. My 3 year old knocked me around the first several attempts finally I stand still for the 3 second count down and it reports back to me I have the body of a 51 year old. Sweet!! Chris was dying laughing. Of course he is going to do his when I am not at home to watch and enjoy. It also reports back what I already know about my weight and weight gain. I set my goals and me and the kids are off running together. Then we did some yoga. Not a bad little system and so far it does exactly what I want. And the kids to be able to workout w/me if they want. They all have created their own characters and we ran past them as we were keeping up w/our trainer. I hope I stay w/the plan and make my goals!! Great addition if you have one and are motivated. I want to have the body a 29 year old again ;)

Sharing an email

June 15, 2008 – 7:12 pm

Jordan is so such a sweet bride!  She emailed me the other night on her honeymoon. 

Greetings from Mexico!  Just wanted to send a quick thank you for helping to make our wedding day fun!

Thanks!
Jordan

Jordan and Tim were married on the hotest day this year 6/7/08. Not only are both of them such a wonder couple but I know I will remember their wedding for years to come. Even though I have a couple of weddings in front of them I thought I would blog a teaser until I catch up.
I can’t wait to see them again for their day after session that got rescheduled due to the heat. I hope you both are staying cool in Mexico ;)

Sabrina and Eddie’s Wedding 5/24/08

June 12, 2008 – 6:32 pm

Sabrina and Eddie’s wedding was on such beautiful day. We really enjoyed being surrounded by everyone’s family and it was very touching to see that Sabrina’s Dad was able to still see his Daughter’s wedding by streaming video. Very cool. Eddie is a twin and boy sometimes I had to do a double check who I was following around ;)

The wedding was perfect and here are some of my favs from the day.  Congrats to you both and it was a pleasure to be part of your day.

I won’t lie this is probably my favorite

what a cute little flower girl


Sabrina and Eddie saw each other before the ceremony.


The fastest kiss ever but I got the reaction after ;)
