In order to provide superior service to all my clients, I limit the number of weddings I photograph.  Just booked another 2013 wedding so only 6 more weekends left for 2013. 🙂  Thanks to all my couples who put their faith and trust in me.  After 20 years, I still get a thrill with every wedding I do!

EDITED TO ADD: I am still getting inquiries for 2012 – if you are a 2012 bride, contact me asap regarding your wedding plans.  I have 2 remaining openings for this year.

WE HAVE POWER!  Come on down to our lovely air conditioned studio for free lemonade and nibbles!  Ask to see our new reunion magazine, new portfolio book, our new DVD product and be sure to sign up for our portrait giveaway!  6 to 8 PM on Friday!

Due to ongoing power outages in Central Virginia Allegra’s Studio is unable to provide you with updated photos for this 4th of July.  However, please enjoy these memories from years past!

What an amazing time we all had photographing what will hopefully be the cover of the next Central Virginia Bridal Guide!  Caitlin won the Bride of the Year at the luncheon earlier this year and was the perfect model for us!  She used her actual dress for her upcoming July wedding so we can’t show you any of her pictures but here are some detail images from the shoot styled by Sandra from RS Exclusives.
