Capturing raw moments and genuine connection that tell your story.

Vermont Family and Wedding Photographer

READY TO GET STARTED? >>

First off, welcome to my teeny tiny corner of the internet in the teeny tiny (but gorgeous) state of Vermont! I'll tell you a little bit more about me (and my dogs, obviously), below but first you gotta start to decide if we're on the same page about what you want out of your session and your images.

 Photography is storytelling—a freeze frame in time that will never happen just like that again. Whether it is your wedding or elopement day,  feeling your little one kick, or a small (and probably sticky) hand grabbing for yours as you play on the beach, these moments are fleeting.

My approach helps you slow down and stay free and present on your day or in your session as it naturally unfolds so we capture rich, real moments that feel like you, make you feel, and help you relive memories for years to come.

If you're drawn to intimate and emotive storytelling photography you're in the right place. 

Love stories? Here's mine!

I wasn't born with a camera in my hand and I haven't "wanted to be a photographer ever since I can remember." My passion for photography developed (a bit) later in my life and since then, I would consider it quite the obsession...

"She is so personable and fun to work with. Not only did she get amazing shots at our wedding, but she went above and beyond to help make our day move along flawlessly."
- T+M (Wedding)

"Ali is exceptional. On top of the bright bubbly irreplaceable spirit & talent she brings to your wedding day, she is thoughtful, organized, ready to help you problem solve to ensure that YOU feel taken care of."
- M+R (Wedding)

"Her enthusiasm about photography and her constant smile was infectious, and made it so easy to let loose in front of the camera. The experience exceeded my expectations, and the photos left me speechless."
- Ashley (Family)

"Ali makes any session enjoyable, and effortlessly brings you out of your shell, to escape the normal awkwardness that can come with being photographed! Her photos are beautiful, her energy is contagious, and you will never go wrong with choosing her as your photographer!"

M+C (Engagement)

"She made us feel so comfortable while capturing all the important moments...Ali is very professional, spontaneous and full of energy. I am so glad I reached out to her to be a part of our big day!"
- S+R (Elopement)

"She's so casual, makes you feel incredibly comfortable in front of the camera, and really focuses on getting the candid real life photos, not just the posed ones (though she makes sure to always get at least a few nicely posed too!). I would recommend her to anyone!"
- Mattea (Family)

We absolutely loved using Allison Macy Photography. She is so stinking fun to work with! We enjoyed every second!"
- Katie (Newborn)

"It felt intimate and I actually felt so beautiful. I can thank her for capturing one of my most amazing days. She will definitely be there for my future photo shoot to capture more love and laughter as my family continues to grow."
- K+R (Wedding)


"She is laid back and flexible, and knows how to put her clients, even kids, at ease. I'm so impressed that despite chaos, she captured beautiful photos. She caught all the small details that really represent us as a family."
- Julie (Family)

i heard you were you wondering...

If you're getting married during the busy season (May-October), the sooner the better. But, the stars could align and I may be open if you inquire last second so it's always worth a shot!

If you're looking for a couples, newborn, family or maternity session, timing is a bit more flexible and a few months in advance is usually enough (especially if you're cool with weekdays!). Learn more specifics about maternity and newborn scheduling here!

HOW FAR IN ADVANCE DO I NEED TO BOOK YOU FOR MY wedding, Elopement or PErsonal Session?

Something you're comfortable in and that matches the occasion, location and season! If you're comfortable, your pictures will show it. (And if you're uncomfortable, your pictures will show that, too!). I help all my clients pick an outfit or two that they'll love and feel great in. I deliver an extensive Client Lounge to clients upon booking. It includes tons of tips and tricks for planning couples session, maternity, or family outfits and getting the most out of our time together.

WHAT SHOULD I WEAR TO MY PHOTOSHOOT?

I live about 40 minutes north of Burlington, Vermont. I spend tons of time walking my pup with my hubby at the farm across our street and enjoying the lake and mountains. And yes, I'm always down to go on a travel adventure;)

I KNOW YOU TRAVEL, BUT WHERE IS YOUR HOME BASE?

I don't! In a typical 1-2 hour session, I take upwards of 1000+ pictures. On an elopement day, I take thousands. Then, I work hard to narrow them down, edit, curate, and ensure that your final gallery includes images you'll love.

DO YOU DELIVER EVERY IMAGE FROM OUR session?
