Snapping that exact moment when about-to-be-married couples see each other for the first time. If you choose to do it, that moment is priceless — and so is this shot.

Allebach Photography has also STUNNED me recently with their engagement shoots. I mean, take a freaking look at this photo. Shayna and Ben are both artists, and when mention to the idea that they wanted to paint each other for their engagement photos, Allebach Photography took the idea and ran with it. The results are IN_FUCKING_CREDIBLE.

So, what makes an Allebach Photography couple? Well, by now you might be recognizing a theme of awesome, creative, possibly tattooed, fearless couples, right? But I like how Michael Allebach put it…

Our clients are expressive and genuine. Many of our couples are tattooed — but that is only the beginning. Our clients bring pieces of themselves into their engagement session and wedding. We don’t do cookie cutter and neither do they. Our events are a mix of the alternative, traditional (where it makes sense), and a lot of personality.
