Allen Tsai Photography

Photographer

Fine art film photographer based in Dallas, TX and shooting weddings destinations worldwide.I’ve always loved all sorts of art growing up and I majored in urban planning for a year in undergraduate. Despite going against my gut feeling, I decided to transfer my major to biology, and eventually ended up with a Ph.D. in neuroscience at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas. Yes, I always get the puzzled look and the question, “Why are you photographing weddings?” For me, documenting one of the most important days of your lives has been more rewarding, and I guess deep down in me, I just love being an artist! I love every aspect of weddings, from the gorgeous details to the raw emotions. I also love making new connections and truly adore all of my couples. My approach to your wedding is the perfect balance of an artistic photojournalistic style capturing real moments while simultaneously creating fine art portraits and stylized details. Read more

    If I could give Allen 17 stars I would, he is just THAT good. We used him for engagement photos, bridals, and the wedding day. He used a combination of film and digital. He has his PhD in NEUROSCIENCE and its obvious that dedication and attention to detail has translated into this passion of his. Though he is not the least expensive option, the quality of his work, his professionalism, and even friendship made all the difference. ...

    Allen is an amazing fine art photographer! He took stunning photos for our engagement pictures and at our wedding. His artistic approach and ability to work with natural light (and real film!) created ethereal and breathtaking photos. He is organized, communicative, approachable and was very patient with our families the day of the wedding. ...

    Allen was one of the best decisions I made for my wedding, only second to saying yes to my fiancé :D

    I met Allen years ago and I knew I would be hiring him for my wedding. I may not have known who I'd be marrying back then but I knew I'd want no one else to be my photographer. ...

    I just got married a week ago and Allen was our photographer. Allen is the best you can get! He is incredibly talented and puts his all into your engagement shoot and wedding day. Our friends rave about our engagement photos! Aside from that, he is down to earth and truly cares about his couples. You can trust that he will always be honest with you. We have grown to see him as more than just our photographer, but a friend. We were happy to share our day with him. We look forward to seeing our wedding photos -- we have no doubt they will be beautiful! ...
