The Artist Behind the Lens
ABOUT
Allie Hamed
Based in Cleveland and always passport-ready, I specialize in authentic weddings across Europe and the U.S.—from the sun-drenched coasts of Greece and Italy to the elegance of Boston, California, and Colorado. Whether it’s an intimate elopement or a multi-day destination celebration, I’m more than just your photographer. I’m your calm presence, your cheerleader, and your hype woman. I’ll make sure you feel seen, celebrated, and authentically you in every frame.
But weddings are just the beginning.
I also photograph portraits and branding sessions, working with small business owners and creatives to capture their passion with clarity and intention. Whether you’re building a brand or refreshing your personal image, I create imagery that feels authentic, elevated, and uniquely you.
For growing families, I offer lifestyle and family photography, including maternity, newborn, and seasonal sessions that celebrate real connections in a natural, relaxed way. These sessions are warm, joy-filled, and all about telling the story of your life in this season.
No matter the setting or stage of life, my heart is always the same: to create artful imagery that reflects your story with elegance, emotion, and a little bit of magic.
Let’s create something extraordinary together.
our values
Authentic Connection
We believe the most beautiful images come from a place of trust. That’s why we prioritize genuine relationships with our couples—so you feel seen, celebrated, and comfortable enough to let your truest selves shine.
Timeless Storytelling
Trends fade, but emotion lasts forever. Through a romantic, documentary lens, we focus on honest moments, subtle details, and effortless elegance—creating imagery that will feel just as powerful decades from now.
Intentional Experience
Every couple and every love story is different. From tailored timelines to thoughtful guidance, we provide a personalized, seamless experience—making sure you feel supported and inspired from start to finish (and beyond).
Portrait & Branding Photography Services
Your brand is more than just what you offer. It’s the heart behind it all. You’ve poured your passion, story, and soul into your work, and you deserve photos that reflect that with clarity and connection.
These sessions are designed for creatives, entrepreneurs, and small business owners who want to elevate their online presence with intentional, personality-driven imagery. From curated lifestyle content to detail shots and modern headshots, we’ll bring your brand to life in a way that feels true to you.
This isn’t just content, it’s storytelling with purpose, created to help you show up confidently and connect with your audience in a meaningful way.
wedding photography services
Your wedding isn’t just an event. It’s a deeply personal story. The quiet anticipation, the joyful chaos, the tear-filled toasts, and the in-between moments that often go unnoticed. My approach is rooted in connection and storytelling, capturing your day as it naturally unfolds with honesty, warmth, and a touch of romance.
From the first look to the final dance, I’m there to make you feel seen, celebrated, and completely at ease. The result? A gallery that reflects not only how your day looked, but exactly how it felt.
More than just beautiful photos, this is your legacy, thoughtfully preserved.
Family & Lifestyle Photography Services
These are the days you’ll want to remember. The snuggles, the belly laughs, the wild joy, and the quiet chaos that make up your real, beautiful life. Whether you’re documenting a growing family, celebrating a milestone, or simply capturing your current season, these sessions are all about genuine connection and heartfelt storytelling.
No stiff poses or forced smiles. Just honest, natural moments that feel like you. I’ll gently guide you while letting the magic unfold, so your photos feel effortless, emotive, and full of life.
Because the ordinary moments are often the ones that matter most.

These are a few of my favorite things…
-
I live for all things Arabic and Greek when it comes to food—give me a fresh Greek salad or a plate of mekloubeh with tender lamb, and I’m in heaven. It’s truly my ultimate comfort food combo!
-
Of all the places I’ve visited so far, Crete is my absolute favorite! While there’s still so much of the world left to explore, that beautiful island and its people have my heart.
-
I’m a sucker for a good musical. Across the Universe and The Greatest Showman are my top two at the moment.
-
As a wedding vendor, my go-to look is always classic, comfortable, and functional—a sleek black jumpsuit paired with a blazer or a chic black dress (with pockets, of course!). It’s polished enough to blend in seamlessly while letting me move with ease and focus on capturing every moment.
