I give every couple\u00a0100% and do everything I can to be the best wedding photographer.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So\u00a0here&#8217;s why I love people like you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[image_left image_url=&#8221;\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_5658-300&#215;200.jpg&#8221;]So there was this moment when I was in school, where I stood outside the group and waited for someone to say &#8220;hi&#8221;.<br \/>\nMaybe I was too shy, too eccentric, didn&#8217;t have the right clothes, didn&#8217;t have my shit together, didn&#8217;t like &#8220;their&#8221; music and I wondered why I had to play by their rules&#8230;.and I waited&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>I can&#8217;t help but believe the reason you are reading this is you&#8217;ve had that feeling once or twice in your life. Or maybe your life has been consumed by this feeling.<\/p>\n<p>In the end, what I do isn&#8217;t about photography, photos or tattooed brides&#8230;it&#8217;s a desire to show everyone their story is important. I don&#8217;t pretend to run a normal wedding photography business or think this is normal.<em id=\"__mceDel\"><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Quirky, colorful, creative, awesome people choose Allebach Photography. \u00a0I have photographed offbeat, gay, trans, straight, straight-edge, roller girl, nerdy, steampunk, punk rock, rockabilly, tattooed, not-tattooed, interfaith and couples with disabilities. \u00a0Some people give their weddings a label or a style. \u00a0And some couples just celebrate marriage.<\/p>\n<p>What people tell me is I&#8217;m accepting. No matter what group, condition, life-stage or lifestyle you consider yourself to belong to, I can photograph your union and your partner in crime.<\/p>\n<p><strong>All I ask is that you show your true colors.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Your story matters.

And I believe I have the best, most unique clients in the world. People let down their guard around me which allows me to the wonderful images you view on this site.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain, I&#8217;ve photographed couples on a concert stage, in abandoned warehouses, with fire whips and breathing fire, in craft beer bars, on the top of earth moving machinery, in water balloon fights,\u00a0throwing paint&#8230;all the usual kind of stuff.<\/p>\n<div><strong>Punk Rock<\/strong><\/div>\n<div>In 1998 I joined a punk rock band that was influenced by Minor Threat, Rancid,\u00a0Sick of it All\u00a0and The Dropkick Murphy&#8217;s. We played for 4 years, released 2 CDs but my dreams for punk rock stardom turned into photography as the years went by. I&#8217;m still a punk rocker at heart, now I have 3 kids and a little more responsibility<\/div>\n<p>Some of Allebach Photography couples are heavily tattooed but we photograph anyone who gets what we do. Every person and every couple is unique. I think my photos reflect that.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So&#8230;Why do I photograph Tattooed Brides?<\/strong><br \/>\nIn my heart I&#8217;m instinctively inclusive, always looking for ways to draw others into the circle and make them feel wanted, heard, and appreciated. It&#8217;s my punk rock ethic. I think that everyone deserves to love, be loved and we should all live a story worth telling full of tragedy, failure, love and grace. \u00a0And damnit I&#8217;m tired of wedding magazines telling people to cover up their tattoos.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_2856\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2856\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-2856 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/allebach.goodgallery.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tattooed-Bride-by-AllebachPhotography-181-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"This is me &amp; this is what I do. \" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tattooed-Bride-by-AllebachPhotography-181-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tattooed-Bride-by-AllebachPhotography-181-185x123.jpg 185w, https:\/\/allebachphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Tattooed-Bride-by-AllebachPhotography-181.jpg 1000w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-2856\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This is me &amp; this is what I do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Tattooed Brides<\/strong><br \/>\nWhen I started photographing tattooed brides, no one was showing off wedding photos with tattooed couples in them.\u00a0 Tattoos were something to be covered up and hidden.
