You may remember Allebach Photography as the tattooed bride-loving photography team. I remember them as the photographers that took the photo that’s STILL my favorite detail shot of all time.

I will always remember them because the first picture in this post is, to this day, one of my favorite wedding detail shots of all time.

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.

    It’s great to see a couple so unique, yet stunning and elegant as well. And the pictures are fantastic.

    I love the photos of the groom with the chops and his gorgeously tattooed, pinup girl bride. Her reaction to seeing him is priceless. Beautiful photographs.

    I contacted them…While they have amazing photography, they are WAY out of our price range. I didn’t ask about any “offbeat bride” discounts though. Im in the same state as them

    Their work is amazing. Had I been able to afford them, I definitely would have hired them for my wedding.

    I have them booked for my wedding! Can’t wait! This was the one big splurge. The photos are all we will have in 20 years, so I want them to be fabulous.
