ABOUT US

--- "Their photos speak for themselves... Loren is extremely talented at what he does. Loren shot at our wedding and the images are phenomenal. Our engagement photos were insanely gorgeous.. My husband and I received so many compliments and people kept asking who my photographer was. Loren made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera- he was very reassuring that the images were beautiful and that we were doing a great job. I feel it's important to have that kind of encouragement, especially if you're a little camera shy. Overall, a fantastic experience with Alante and I would highly recommend them to any couple getting married. Thank you, Loren!' --- Lauren R

Having 20 years of experience and over 800 photographed weddings, principal photographer Loren Callahan depends on his ability to communicate thoughtfully and clearly with and for his clients to produce the most beautiful and articulate photographs. Story-telling ability, creative awareness, and constant pursuit of innovation allow Loren to capture and create scenes and situations with accuracy and personal style.

Loren has background studies in fashion photography, spending six years in New York City shooting editorial fashion along side photo-journalism for agencies like Associated Press, Reuters News Service, and Getty Images. Loren's photographs have been published in major news magazines and news agencies including The New York Times, Time Magazine, Los Angeles Times, Newsweek, and People magazine. Loren has won numerous awards from the National Professional Photographers Association and in 2004 was invited to have his photographs be part of the National Native American Museum, Smithsonian in Washington D.C. Loren loves photographing high end events and weddings, with an eye for amazing editorial glamour.  He makes you look better than you ever thought. 

A word about styled shoots, models, Photoshop, retouching, and enhancement. We believe that a photo should be constructed within the camera first.  The genuine moment is paramount to Loren.  Photoshop is used to remove exit signs, fire escapes, and uncontrollable distractions but the core image is captured in the most beautiful way possible through posing, lighting, and technical skill.  Additionally, all images found on the Alante portfolio are real clients.  No styled shoots with endless time to create and no models with posing prowess - real images and real moments captured at real events.

We look forward to meeting and speaking with you to create and capture your event or session with amazing style and artistic sense.
