She's been happily married to her best friend, Branden (our talented videographer + second shooter!), for 11 years. Together, they share life with their fun-loving 9-year-old son, Oli, and two sweet pups, Della and Dottie. With years of photography experience, Abby is known for capturing moments as they unfold—organically, naturally, and with heart. Her approach blends a touch of guided posing with a strong focus on documenting the real, in-between moments that make your day uniquely yours. Her goal is to create a gallery that feels like you—genuine, emotional, and truly special to look back on for years to come. She’s a music lover, iced coffee enthusiast, and the kind of person who brings both fun and calm to your wedding day. Abby is passionate about truly connecting with her couples before the big day. From intentional conversations and timeline planning to thoughtful support throughout the wedding, she’s always ready to lend a hand—whether it’s adjusting a veil, offering a word of encouragement, or simply being a steady presence when you need it most. You won’t just have a photographer—you’ll have a friend cheering you on.

What a truly amazing experience start to finish. We cannot recommend Abby B Photography enough! Since my very first inquiry on such a short notice for our big day Abby made it wor...
k, she set her plans aside to accommodate our big day. So professional, consistently responsive, patient, and assuring that she would execute our vision perfectly. And she absolutely did! Not only is Abby beyond professional and talented, but she is also fun! My Husband who is someone who doesn’t love taking photos, she made everything feel relaxed and natural. There was nothing forced about it. Both of our family and friends commented on how amazing our photographer is. She was so pleasant and kind and truly captured all of the emotions of our day. She delivered our photos quickly and did a stunning job. We could not have been more pleased with our decision to choose Abby. I can confidently say Abby and her team will not disappoint you. To add, not only did she capture our special day, she continuously has and is captured/capturing every milestone, maternity, newborn, holiday/family photos! Thank you Abby you will forever be our family’s favorite.

was quick to offer to help and rearranged her schedule just so she could make it on our day! She made a schedule, answered all of my questions and just made the whole experience so easy! Her photos are absolutely beautiful and the film her husband made makes me cry every time I watch it! They went above and beyond and honestly felt like family by the end of the day. Can’t recommend them enough 💓
