Hi, I’m Allison

A storyteller of narrative, artistry, & connection

Having been in the wedding industry for nearly a decade...

I have grown to love the wonders of a ‘Big Day’ and have developed a keen eye for the details that renders such a day... special. My goal as your Chicago photographer is to create and deliver on exactly what you envision for your wedding portraits. I’ll be there every step of the way to make your dream of portraits a reality. Let’s get started!

At Allison Francois Photography, I believe in the power of faith, artistry, and connection.

as a storytelling photographer in chicago, I believe in capturing more than just moments; I capture stories infused with elegance and spirit.

I believe in the magic of light, chasing its radiance to capture the essence of emotion, forge connections, and immortalize cherished moments. My passion for family connection drives me, celebrating and focusing on the family you came from and the family you are creating together. This commitment infuses warmth and authenticity into every  photography shoot.

Driven by a bold and relentless pursuit of excellence, I believe in treating everyone with kindness and respect, fostering genuine relationships that extend beyond the lens.

My love for black and white imagery reflects my commitment to timeless beauty and storytelling.

As a natural gatherer, I believe in bringing together vendors and clients to create cohesive and unforgettable experiences. As a Chicago photographer, I am not just photographing the couple, but also the family they will become and the family they came from. Above all, I believe in serving my friends, clients, and community with unwavering dedication, ensuring that every interaction leaves a lasting impression.

a little bit about allison

I’m a proud mom to four amazing kids, each with their own unique personalities and quirks, who constantly remind me of the beauty in life's simple moments.

Capturing weddings isn't just a job for me—it's a passion. I thrive on the energy and emotion of each celebration, and I feel incredibly privileged to witness and document the love stories of each couple I work with as their Chicago photographer.

My journey with my husband began in high school, where we met and forged a bond that has only grown stronger over the years. He's not just my partner; he's my rock, my confidant, and my biggest supporter in both life and business.
