Allegro Photography

Allegro Photography creates magic in their images. Dave and Jo are absolutely incredible photographers, true artists, and simply wonderful people to be with. I've worked with Allegro both professionally as an event planner, as well as with Dave as our own wedding day photographer. Dave is incredibly detailed and thorough, and his calming presence will make you instantly feel at ease. He has the most artistic eye, seeing things that others do not. Every image is breathtaking. Dave captures the joy and the emotion with vibrant color and detail. He goes above and beyond to make sure each moment is thoughtfully captured. He's also a photo ninja, somehow being everywhere at once and never missing a beat. There are many images I look back on and think, "How did Dave get that shot?!" We felt like he was part of our family by the end of the wedding day, blending in so seamlessly. It's difficult to fully express just how grateful we are to have our wedding day so perfectly documented and frozen in time by Allegro. Thank you, Dave and Jo for giving us the greatest gift!

Dave and Jo are the best of the best! We had the pleasure of working with Dave for our engagement session & our wedding. To say that the photos came out amazing is an understatement. Dave captured so many special moments we will cherish forever. Not only are the photos beautiful, but we have received so many compliments from family and friends about how great Dave was during the big day, how kind he was and how fun he made the photos. There is no one better!

Dave and Jo from Allegro photography, were simply the very best photographers for my daughter’s wedding! The wedding photos and enlargements are amazing! Dave did such a great job capturing all the special moments and emotions of the day! The slideshow, mobile app came out also beautiful. Jo created the most wonderful couple Art Book album and the parent classic album! We will treasure all the wonderful photos that Dave and Jo created! Thank you Dave and Jo!

David and Jo were absolutely amazing from start to finish. During our wedding day, David did a fantastic job of making us feel comfortable and capturing some amazing moments. The photos all came out so beautiful. We ordered some large prints and a photo album as well, which also came out wonderful. Jo was fantastic at listening to what we envisioned for our album and coming up with something that was so beautiful and filled with so many wonderful memories. Highly recommend Allegro Photography!

David and Jo are amazing to work with. David photographed our engagement session and both David and Jo joined us for the big day. Their communication was always professional and quick. They are genuinely kind and good people. The finished photos ooze class, sophistication and refinement. We were in awe of how filled with love and light the photos are. The most candid, intimate moments, captured artfully.

David was so easy to work with from the beginning - he's professional, detail oriented, the photos came out beautiful and we couldn't be happier. He truly captured the essence of our wedding day! We look forward to working with him again in the future.

We had an excellent experience working with Jo! From the first phone call before we even booked her, up to the day of the wedding, she made the planning process so much easier. We had a 3 day Pakistani-American wedding and an event a few months prior and she handled all the moving parts effortlessly. She was flexible and creative with last minute changes and seemed to have a back-up plan for everything. Her experience and expertise are evident when she works. We were thrilled with our photos and feel like everything was perfectly documented. She really worked to get a feel for our preferences before the day of and we felt like our sense of style was reflected in the photographs. She also put an incredible amount of effort into the album, even the selection process of the style of the album. We highly recommend Allegro Photography!!! Going with Allegro is one of the best decisions you can make when planning your wedding!!

Had an amazing experience with David and Jo at our wedding at Tower Hill Botanic Gardens last summer. The photos they captured were absolutely magical. They managed to capture details and scenes that we, as the busy bride and groom, totally missed. The portraits of the wedding party and the family were beautiful, lively, and natural. They were also incredibly responsive during the planning process and made sure they fully understood our vision. 100% worth the investment! We are so happy we chose them.

Jo and David made our wedding weekend such a beautiful and stress free experience! David took our engagement photos and though it was freezing that day, he chose such lovely lighting and places to shoot that you’d never know it was 40 degrees based off the warmth in the pictures! He also joined us for our rehearsal dinner and by looking at the photos you can relive the laughter from the night! Finally, the wedding day- David and Jo make such an awesome team, both my husband and I felt so comfortable being photographed by them. Solo shots getting ready can be uncomfortable, and I was nervous having so many eyes on me- Jo put me at ease, walking me through poses and motions to take, but then just speaking to me naturally, making me laugh and forget that I was about to have 200 people staring at me! She even helped my MOH fix my bustle at some point. Not to mention- the photographs turned out beautifully! They caught a perfect balance of candid intimate moments, and staged portraits and worked very well with the other vendors (videographer, makeup, florist, etc.) to showcase every detail of the wedding. They are very talented, kind and lovely people and I highly recommend working with this thoughtful and artistic duo!

Dave is the absolute best! Since the beginning I could tell that Dave was really passionate about photography and I felt as though he really understood my style and what I was looking for. The engagement shoot was when I was able to see Dave’s work and I knew it was going to be amazing and of course it was! Then came the wedding in August and the pictures were truly amazing! They captured so many aspects of the day and so many memories. Dave was a pleasure to work with and I highly recommend allegro!

David and Jo are the best of the best!! They did an incredible job as our wedding photographers and are beyond talented! We couldn't be happier with how our photos came out and how they beautifully captured such an important day in our lives. They were very responsive, accommodating and easy to work with leading up to our wedding. The day of the wedding their expertise kept us at ease and they made sure everything ran smoothly. We are beyond thrilled with our experience with Allegro Photography and highly recommend them. Thank you David and Jo!!

Dave and his team were absolutely fantastic. They met with us ahead of time to learn what was important to us, and were amazing the day of. Dave was very professional and knew exactly how to handle our large families during the formal photos, while making sure my husband and I had time for our own private photos. Dave’s photographer skills were unmatched. He knew where to be to get the lighting just right - we had cloudy weather, sunny, and sunset - and he captured them all perfectly. He captured the true joy in our faces as well as our guests, spending a great deal of time getting amazing candid photos during the ceremony and reception. Dave was a pleasure to work with the whole time, he could read my mood at any point, and get the photo we wanted, even when we were not able to vocalize it. During important moments (ceremony, private moment post ceremony, first look, etc) my husband and I weren’t even aware that he was there. I wouldn’t be surprised if he had been hiding in a tree to get the right photo! The hours leading up to the wedding itself fly by and are more stressful than I realized, and I had a lot of photos I wanted during that time of (my getting dressed, my fiancé reading a card from me, dad/bride in limo, etc). I was worried this all wouldn’t get done, but Dave had a schedule and made it all happen, without me even realizing! I was very impressed by Dave and would highly recommend him to any bride looking for a top notch photographer. Photographer was the most important thing for me at the wedding, and I’m so glad we went with Allegro Photographer.

We had a tremendous experience with Allegro Photography! Our consultation with David was wonderful--he did a great job of getting to know us, asking questions and getting a sense of what we wanted for our big day. In the run-up to the wedding, David actually went downtown Boston to do some location scouting for possible rain-plans, un-prompted, and found some really wonderful spots (which we ended up needing due to weather), and we had an extensive conversation shortly before the wedding to make sure everyone was on the same page schedule- and location-wise, and to talk about must-get pictures. On the day-of, he and his assistant, Anthony, were wonderful in both arranging portraits and making everyone feel comfortable, and in capturing fleeting, candid moments. We are absolutely thrilled with the photographs--they really captured the spirit of the day perfectly. We couldn't recommend Allegro Photography more.

We can't thank Allegro enough for our beautiful wedding photos! We used Allegro for both our engagement session and wedding. Right from the start David was a pleasure to work with - extremely professional, responsive and organized. David and Jo have shot so many weddings that they know exactly what to do. They put our minds at ease during the planning process, and they were truly amazing the day of our wedding. Our photos are so beautiful, and we have received SO many compliments! We can't even believe how much we love every single photo. I will recommend Allegro to all of my family and friends - they are the best!

Where to begin with Dave and Jo?! These two are absolutely amazing photographers. We used them for our Engagement photos, our Rehearsal Dinner, and our Wedding Day. The pictures they took were out of this world and they were beyond accommodating. We wanted lots of fun candid shots throughout the weekend (at our Rehearsal Dinner and Wedding) and boy did they do an amazing job. I have never felt so beautiful than after I looked through all the wonderful pictures they took of me in my gown. Dave and Jo are funny, and know how to put even the most nervous of grooms at ease. I look back on all the photos from my wedding weekend and its like I'm there again. It was a truly stunning day and they couldn't have captured it better. Hire these two and you will NOT be disappointed.

We were first drawn to Allegro photography for our wedding from their online portfolio -- it was full of beautiful, warm, endearing moments, and we knew we wanted the same for our own event. We scheduled a time to meet and discovered that, aside from being a great photographer, Jo was a wonderful individual herself! She took the time to listen to our story, who we were, and what we were looking for in our wedding, and "clicked" with us right away. Throughout the planning process Jo kept in touch and was very responsive to questions and suggestions. She took the time to scope out our venue and helped figure out when and where all our shoots would be. And on the day of, she was right in the midst of things, an unobtrusive but positive presence, and, when necessary, "cat herder" to get us where we needed to go. We love the way our photos turned out. Over the course of the wedding we feel like Jo and David have become our friends, and unreservedly recommend them to anyone looking for quality photographers.

We used Allegro (specifically David) for our engagement shoot in NYC, rehearsal dinner and, of course our wedding. He was absolutely incredible for every event. The pictures came out amazing, and people even mistook some for the cover of a magazine. Every day we find a new favorite picture from our shoots. On top of the great quality of pictures David was so great to work with. He was extremely patient and professional and had our pictures ready quickly which we greatly appreciated. We hope to have more occasions in the future to work with Allegro!

Hiring Allegro Photography was the best decision we ever made for our wedding day in Boston. Dave and Jo are truly talented, professional and wonderful to work with! We have worked with Dave from our engagement photos, to our breathtaking wedding pictures, and for our one year anniversary. For every milestone throughout our relationship, Allegro Photography has provided artistic and emotional portrait that we will cherish forever! Thank you Dave & Jo!

When we began planning our wedding, the only thing I knew off the bat was my dream photographer -- Allegro Photography! I had multiple friends work with David and Jo before, and I had always been wonderfully envious. Well my dream came true. :-) Our experience with David exceeded every expectation, and our photos were perfection. We are so thankful for our choice, and I recommend Allegro Photography with absolutely no reservation. In fact, I'd call you lucky to have the opportunity.

Allegro is absolutely fantastic - I can't recommend them more highly. Our wedding photos came out beautifully, and David and Jo and team were so easy and pleasant to work with. We really enjoyed the whole experience, from our initial contact/request for information, to planning and scheduling, to the big day, to the wedding album... Everything went beautifully. Again, I can't say enough good things about Allegro - they are simply the best.

All I can say is wow. We went with Allegro after they photographed my friend's wedding and she gave them a glowing review. We just received the "sneak peak" and we are shocked. The photos are even better than we imagined! David is extremely experienced and knowledgeable and picked out the perfect setting for our first look. We used the timeline he suggested to figure out the timing for our reception, and it was so organized we passed it on to all our vendors. David and Jo (the owners/partners) are very creative as photographers. We told them we had no wedding party and didn't want a ton of posed photographs, but mostly candid shots, which is where they shine. We are so happy we went with them and can't wait to see all the final shots.

Out of all of the decisions we had to make throughout the wedding planning process, choosing Allegro for our engagement and wedding photography was by far the easiest and best decision. Right from the first email they were professional, courteous and friendly. When we met David in person, we felt like we were talking to an old friend. Our engagement shoot was in Spring 2016 and it reaffirmed everything we felt when we first signed the contract in 2015. David guided us with his exceptional eye for framing a photograph, but was so relaxed about it, that it felt like we were on a fun date in the park. We were even able to bring our pup along! And on our wedding day in October 2016, Allegro's team was nothing short of perfect. We absolutely loved David's calm and guiding presence throughout the wedding day. He took amazing photographs of us with our guests when we didn't even realize he was nearby. David's intern, Katherine, was trooper in her pursuit to learn from David. At one point she was crouching in a school bus seat holding a light just the right way. Her giggle was infectious and her energy was a great addition to David on our wedding day. She was determined to get it right and has a fantastic mentor. We can't speak enough praise about David --first of all, his work speaks for itself. In addition, he was great at sticking to the timeline, getting all the shots we requested, being more than okay with a little rain, and going above and beyond with creative portraits and candid shots. He was exactly the kind of energy we needed at our wedding and he captured the full range of emotions throughout the day from ridiculously happy-in-love smiles to the emotional cries. We love the entire album of photographs Allegro delivered to us and we'll cherish them for years to come. I don't know how we can thank Allegro enough for the beautiful work they gave us in their photographs -- it's really something special when the professional photographs that were taken can bring you right back to the same feeling you had on your wedding day.

Where to even start with singing the praises of David at Allegro? He was recommended by a friend, and we knew instantly on meeting him that we wanted to work with him. We did an engagement photo shoot, both to have the photos and to get some of the being-in-the-spotlight jitters out before the wedding. They turned out wonderfully, and got us even more excited about having hired David to shoot our wedding! He was incredibly thorough and patient through the planning process, and with our complicated (and sometimes hard to wrangle) families he was exactly what we needed. I've been married for two months now, and I honestly can't stop looking at the photos David took. Having more incredible photos than you have wall space is a great problem to have! Our friends and family are blown away by the caliber of the photos, and several have even admitted they wish they'd hired David for theirs. We will definitely be calling him again for any other photography needs!

It is such a rare treat to find people that are not only passionate about their work but so good at it! Jo and David were perfect every step of the way from planning to execution. We really felt like they were part of our family and so in tune with what we wanted and needed to capture our weekend beautifully with no stress!!

My husband and I feel very lucky to have had Allegro Photography capture our wedding. David and Jo were so professional and a pleasure to work with. Right off the bat after the contract was signed we got a wedding card with a little treat in the mail wishing us well and letting us know they were happy to be working with us. David was so helpful over the phone thoroughly making sure we went over every detail to make the most of the time we had for photos and to make sure they didn't miss any thing or anyone that was important to us. In the planning stages he met me at the venue for a walk through and thoughtfully considered how he and Jo could capture the best photographs. He proposed a great idea for setup of the aisle, which I loved and implemented for the wedding. On the day of, everything went very smoothly because of their great planning! On top of that, they were a pleasant and fun addition to our company. They creatively captured the evening so well and not a moment was missed, big or small. They go above and beyond the typical formal and posed shots you expect to see. We got some beautifully stand-out photos that we have received countless complements on and will treasure forever! We're thankful to David and Jo of Allegro photography and highly recommend them!

Jo and Dave are unbelievably talented and we had a wonderful experience working with them! I was nervous about picking our wedding photographer, but from the moment I met Jo, I felt at ease. Jo took the time to get to know my fiancé and I at our first meeting and then at our engagement session (highly recommended). Leading up to our wedding, Jo was well organized, very responsive to my emails, and answered all my questions in detail. The day of the wedding, we were completely comfortable with Jo and Dave. They familiarized themselves with the area beforehand and found perfect spots to capture our first look and portraits. Jo and Dave delivered our wedding photos much quicker than we expected and they are stunning! We have received nothing but amazing compliments on our wedding photos. We highly recommend Allegro Photography. Thank you for capturing our day so spectacularly!

We just got our engagement photo's back...so amazing! David was wonderful to work with, my fiance and I always say we take the worst pictures, and would never be able to tell with David's work! He was able to capture the essence of who we are and our relationship! So grateful for choosing Allegro Photography, and looking forward to the wedding! We also were able to bring our four legged friend with us, David was so willing to photograph us and the pup! Such a great experience!

My husband and I were lucky enough to be able to work with Jo and her husband David for our stylized "Mad Men" theme engagement photo shoot (which came out spectacularly) as well with Jo at our wedding. We could not be more thrilled with our photos, their style and the moments that were captured! Jo and her other principal photographer were professional, personable and truly a joy to work with. We could NOT have chosen a better photographer to work with!

After exchanging a couple of emails, I decided to meet Jo in person to talk about wedding photography. We immediately hit it off. Jo is one of the sweetest and most enthusiastic people you could ever meet. She listened and took notes on every idea I had. Before our wedding, we had a call going over the details of the day. I can’t begin to explain how happy I was that Jo was such a pro at this and would be guiding us through the day. Whenever she said “We will get you in your dress at 2:45pm and make sure all the bridesmaids are dressed by then” I breathed a sigh of relief that she would be in charge. Throughout our wedding day, I leaned on Jo to help make decisions about what was best at the moment. Her assistant Vince was great - he brought such positive energy throughout the day and captured some great moments. We received all of our wedding photos and everyone has loved them and couldn't believe all the moments they captured so well. I would absolutely recommend Allegro Photography for anyone looking for great people to have by your side throughout your big day.

I wish there were a way to give EXTRA stars to this review! David and Jo from Allegro Photography are simply the best. From Day One, they were enthusiastic, professional, creative, communicative, and just plain good people. I always felt like they had the same goal that my husband and I did for our wedding: to get interesting, beautiful photos that told our unique story in the best way possible. Allegro Photography did this and more - they went above and beyond in so many ways. They answered every one of my questions in a timely manner and never made me feel like I was a nuisance. They helped us plan ahead and made sure we discussed all aspects of the day, including must-have shots, preferences, and timelines. They communicated with us regularly during our year of planning and always found unexpected ways to make us feel special and important. They even drove from Boston all the way to Long Island, New York for our engagement photo shoot - and they kept their enthusiasm and positive energy throughout the whole thing. And I know I am biased, but I'm pretty sure that anyone anywhere could look at our wedding photos and think they're amazing. Allegro Photography captured some breathtaking moments and wowed us with the range of shots from our day. If you are looking for amazing wedding photos that tell the story of your day in the most gorgeous way you can imagine, and if you would also like to work with genuine, experienced, talented, nice people, contact Allegro Photography. They are absolute super stars. I can't recommend them enough! If you are a Boston-area bride who wants to talk with someone who used Allegro Photography, please get in touch. I'm happy to elaborate on my experience.

Dave and Jo make it your day, and they make it even more special. They are so ease to work with and make everything even more beautiful. Their artistic style is not over the top, but comes through as you view your pictures- it fit our idea of the day perfectly!

We did not end up going with them but were very very close. These guys are good at what they do, responsive, and fair.
