I'm an art director and typically take my own photos, but sometimes I am just out of my league. Allen shot and silhouetted an extremely detailed piece of artwork that had been maddeningly impossible for me to work with. He suggested ways of lighting and compositing photos that made the artwork's best qualities absolutely sing, and he was quick, flexible and responsive. I would highly recommend his services.

As an artist, I am constantly photographing my work. After attempting to capture my artwork in photographs for business purposes on my own, I quickly realized what a challenge it is! I am not qualified, nor do I own the proper equipment to take the photographs necessary for my studio demands. My needs require the talent of an advertising photographer who knows and understands the intricacies and detail work of visual art combined with the skill of a commercial photographer for promotional and business products. I sought someone unique and professional with an eye for detail. I called upon Allen

Luke Studios did a phenomenal job on my twin daughter's portrait session. I cannot reccomend this photographer highly enough. Allen was personable with my two girls and connected with them in a way to get portraits that communicated their unique personalities. The portraits were creative and inspired by my daughters preferences- he listened to them and then took their ideas and made them even better. He captured moments between my girls that I will treasure forever. I couldn't be happier with the finished product!

Allen is a fun and fantastic photographer who is able to capture the big moments and smaller ones with creativity and beautiful composition. He has photographed me for multiple purposes - band shots, engagement pics, and wedding pics - and each time, I see myself in a new way and always feel more beautiful because of it. The photos you get from him are absolutely invaluable, and I'm so glad I trusted him with photographing such important days in my life. I just can't stop marveling at my engagement and wedding shots! He was very efficient at getting the photos back to us, too. I highly recommend

"I've had photos taken before..." was my first thought when I decided to use Allen Luke Photography, then quickly realized as I entered the studio and looked around..."but NEVER like this before!" There are photographers, and there's Allen Luke. Plain and simple. He knows exactly how to create, elude to, position, capture and bring about the very best in his clients and their photos. By the time I was done, which I never wanted to leave, I had so many excellent shots to choose from, with different angles, lighting, moods, and an overall feel (yes, photography with feeling!) it was difficult to

If you are looking for a typical photography experience, go somewhere else! I have had the pleasure of working with Allen and his team on multiple occasions and would recommend him to anyone. Allen sees the world through a unique perspective and has the ability to transform an ordinary scene into something spectacular. He has a great way of directing his clients, yet at the same time keeping them engaged in the shoot and encouraging mutual creativity. Allen is so aware of all the little details can make a standard photo into one that is captivating. He is, in my opinion, the best photographer in

My wife and I had our wedding at the end of 2011, and in preparation for the big day we had every intention of interviewing multiple photographers in person. Our first meeting was with Allen, and he did a tremendous job of going through his experience, what makes his photos unique, and the professional and personal touch he puts into each wedding he works for. After meeting Allen, we knew we did not need to interview anyone else because he answered our questions directly and was very professional. The value he brought to the meeting was tremendous.

Allen took my senior photos about 4 years ago and I absolutely loved them. I received a ton of compliments...they were creative and unique. He recently shot my cousins wedding in Chicago and actually laid on the floor to capture a moment of the little flower girl. I will definitely be using Luke Studios to capture my big day when that comes! He is a great photographer!

I have nothing but great things to say about Luke Studios. Allen is very professional and knows his stuff. From composition, to lighting, to posing, he will give you the perfect photo every time. I have had the pleasure of working with Allen both in front of the camera as well as behind the scenes on other shoots. I couldn't have been happier with the way my own photos looked, and I was impressed with the level of professionalism he displayed at a wedding I assisted with. The photos look like something out of a magazine. If you are looking for gorgeous, unforgettable images, book Luke Studios.

Luke Studios is much more than a photographer; artist would be a better fit.
I had the opportunity to assist in a couple weddings with Allen Luke and he does not just take pictures, he creates spectacular images. Whether this is due to his knowledge of lighting, positioning of the wedding party, angle shots, or a combination of all, Allen takes what most would call a picture and transforms it to become almost 3 dimensional and things just pop! Allen also captures things that you would not ordinarily see in wedding photos, I was amazed at some of the pictures he wanted to capture and I thought
