Documenting your story

I document modern love stories through digital + film photography. My work is for couples who want their memories captured honestly, on digital and 35mm film. I live nomadically and travel between California, Oregon, Washington, Utah, Montana, and Arizona or wherever your story takes me, creating timeless photographs that feel like you.

Meet your photographer

I'm Allison Dowd, a wedding and couples photographer living on the road.

My work blends digital and 35mm film, creating imagery that feels effortless, emotional, and real.

Life on the road gives me the freedom and honor of chasing beautiful places, people, and love stories that inspire me every day.

I travel through the western U.S. documenting love stories in all kinds of places and am always eager to explore more and continue documenting authentic love stories wherever they take me.
