"Alan is THE best photographer I have ever used. He does fantastic work and always captures our projects in ways I never thought possible. His work is amazing, and we will always use him to showcase our projects!"
"Alan and his team provided us with phenomenal exterior and interior photos of one of our finished projects. Capturing spatial relationships, textures, light, and shadows is not an easy task, but his talents make it seem so. We are more than pleased with Alan's amazing end-product, and, from start to finish, he is responsive, kind, and helpful, and an all-around great partner to have. We highly recommend his talents and services!"
"Alan Blakely has been our architectural photographer of choice for several years now. His work is absolutely beautiful and he knows the right way to capture a project. He and his wife are a fabulous team and not only are they great to work with, but they are fabulous people too. I am always impresed with is work, and not just on projects that we have built. They have been a wonderful partner over the years, I couldn't reccomend Alan enough!"
"Alan Blakely was hired by BVK Group in early 2021 to complete our City Club Apartments Crossroads Kansas City photography. We were looking for a local Kansas City Photographer and stumbled on Alan's award-winning work through Google. Alan is a new favorite throughout our 4 locations and has turned one project into many more... and more to come! He is a pleasure to work with, prompt with his communication, professional with clients, and overall very talented. We could not be happier with his services this past year and look forward to continuing our relationship."
"Alan has been amazing to work with. He is very thorough, efficient and professional. His images are superb! I would recommend him in a heartbeat."
"At my desk, I am looking at mounted and framed photographs done by Alan Blakely that had adorned our office for years. We have engaged him multiple times to document our office buildings. I have not found anyone who understands the mastery of light and command of contrast and color to the extent consistently displayed by Alan. I agree with the awards he has received that he is the best commercial photographer in America. Bruce Bingham."
