A Heart to Help
About Allan Famor Photography
I’ve always had the desire to help people.
When I was studying to be a physical therapist, that looked like stepping into people’s lowest moments to provide support and instill confidence. Now, as a wedding photographer, I bring that same “I’ve got you” energy with me…
but my focus is making the best day of my couples’ lives even better.
Hello and welcome!
I'm Allan Famor Jr.
My team and I have captured 650+ weddings throughout Northern California—San Francisco, Napa, San Jose, Cupertino, Saratoga, and beyond. If there’s anything that journey has taught me, it’s that decisions are the building blocks of life.
I’m thankful to have made some good ones at pivotal moments, even if they didn’t make a lot of sense to anyone else. Like putting all of my savings into a professional camera instead of a car, for example. Not exactly a safe bet, especially since I was on track to become a physical therapist at the time (and racking up a pretty hefty Uber bill to get to my classes). But that choice paved the road I’m walking today.
After dabbling in street and landscape photography for a few years as a hobbyist, I shot my first wedding professionally in 2020 and never looked back. Whether I’m photographing an intimate ceremony at SF City Hall or a full weekend of events in Napa, I provide guidance that feels low-key, but results in high-end, editorial images.
This is going to be easier than you think. I’d bet my first camera on it.

“We felt completely comfortable behind the lens.”
“We’ve always admired how Allan captures such diverse moments, from intimate engagements to lively family sessions. Meeting him only confirmed our choice; he is so personable and easy to work with that we felt completely comfortable behind the lens. As a couple who is not used to posing for a camera, we really appreciated how his clear direction took all the guesswork out of the process, allowing us to stop worrying about how we looked and just enjoy the moment together.”

“Hands down the best and easiest vendor we worked with.”
“His communication was top notch and we felt supported the entire way through from initial contact, to planning our engagement shoot, to finally capturing our big day and all the fine details and festivities. We are not used to being photographed but Allan made us and our guests feel at ease and even coached us on how to pose and where to stand. We couldn’t believe some of the incredible candid shots; he has a creative eye and attention to detail. We would not hesitate recommending Allan to anyone.”
