This personal project has been a long time coming. I am so excited to present my new website for Kate Alison Photography! I worked very closely with Kristen, of Kristen Poissant Studio, to create this beautiful, colorful rebrand of my wedding & portrait work. 

The goal of rebranding was to make sure my couples know exactly who and what they are getting when they book their wedding or portrait session. My images are full of love, life, color, personality, and sometimes glitter! It is so important to connect with your photographer and I want everyone I work with to know how special and unique you are. My work represents love of all kinds and telling a story with images is my true passion. 

Thank you to Kristen for bringing my vision to life, to Candace for my branding image session, to Megan of Art By Megan, and the rest of my Rising Tide Society community for their unwavering support, and of course, my love, Olivia. Couldn't have done any of it without you! Welcome to the newer, brighter, shinier Kate Alison Photography!

THANK YOU THANK YOU

THANK YOU

 

As an even bigger thank you, all full wedding collections for 2017/2018 are 10% off when booked by September 30, 2017.

Nikki & Kevin | Ace Hotel Wedding | New York, NY

Nikki and Kevin flew in from Los Angeles for their New York City wedding to get married in the same beautiful church where her parents were married years before. I was so touched by the sweet sentiment behind their decision. It was immediately easy to see why they chose this bright, gorgeous setting for their closest friends and family to witness their intimate ceremony. Once Nikki and Kevin were pronounced husband and wife, we took some family portraits in the pretty garden at All Souls Church before heading to iconic Central Park with the wedding party.

Karina & Tom | One Year Later

, ,

It's crazy to think an entire year has passed since Karina and Tom said "I Do"! May 22, 2016 was a perfect day. The bride, groom, and their families all pitched in to make this Sunday evening, DIY wedding one they would always remember.

Maid of Honor, twin sister of the bride, Maria, did her beautiful makeup. Maria's boyfriend (now fiancé, congrats!), Brooklyn artist, Erik Jones, performed their ceremony. The mother of the bride cooked tamales for all the guests. Many other family members took time to assemble their flowers that morning. All to make it the most beautiful celebration of love for these newlyweds.

My favorite part about Karina and Tom's wedding day was how simple they wanted to keep everything. The whole day really was all about celebrating their love and new lives together. This truly reflected who they are as a couple.

Congratulations Karina & Tom! Happy one year anniversary!

Take a look back below.

Galaxy Styled Wedding Inspiration | Brooklyn, NY

"It's bigger than love, brighter than all the stars combined." - Ben Gibbard

This past summer, I was looking through Instagram and felt inspired to put together a styled shoot after seeing photo after photo featuring the most beautiful shades of purple and blue. Celestial colors and imagery has always been appealing to me, I even got a telescope as a birthday gift many years ago! 

A few weeks later, I began reaching out to other vendors both in NYC and across the country. My good friend and previous collaborator, Ashley, of Le Petit Prints, and I were bouncing ideas and inspiration back and forth when it all started to come together. 

The overall vision for the shoot was a modern galaxy themed wedding, but I wanted each vendor to be able to use their own creativity and artistic ideas. We wanted to keep it simple, with trendy, but offbeat twists. Our tattooed "bride" skipped the traditional white gown for a sleek navy number. Our baker opted for cupcakes instead of classic wedding cake. Our jeweler created customized pieces just for us. Our florist went for a very unique interpretation with her wild arrangement.

I am infinitely grateful to the amazing team behind this shoot! It couldn't have come together better than it did. Thank you all for your contributions, collaboration, patience and for bringing my idea to life.  See how it all turned out below!
