Abbey truly brought our wedding day to life through her amazing photos. As a fellow Valpo Alum we were more than excited to meet her and when we did we were sure she was perfect! S...

Abbey is not only an amazing photographer, she is an incredible human. We should all be so lucky to have her take our photos!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!! No one will care more about you ...
and your wedding than her.
Abbey is an above and beyond photographer!! She did photos for our wedding and she not only captured photos, but the joy and love of that day as well. I planned my wedding in Valpo...
while living in Dallas during a pandemic, and she took care of everything for me. I was nervous about things and she offered to video call and answered all of my questions! The day of she was super easy to work with, and so unbelievably kind. Also her second shooter was amazing as well! She knows people that work in the industry and do a phenomenal job!
I couldn’t be more thankful for her work, and highly recommend her for any kind of photo shoot in the NWI area!
Abbey did an outstanding job as our wedding photographer! From our first consultation, to our engagement session, to our actual wedding day, Abbey was there for every step of the w...
ay. If we ever had a question, she was easy to contact and helpful. We love the pictures that she and her assistant took, and we will cherish them for years to come. You won’t regret hiring her!
Abbey is an amazing photographer and an even better person. She is extremely professional and knows how to keep the day moving while getting all the photos you want. Her photos are...
stunning. We took our engagement photos after a rainstorm and it even sprinkled during them, but you'd have no idea. Our wedding photos are just beautiful. We really can't say enough good things about her.
Abbey took our engagement photos and we couldn't be happier! Her and Caleb made the whole process fun and easy. They were even willing to go out in the rain/snow to take some outdo...

Abbey is such a pleasure to work with and really has made the whole process easier!
Using Abbey as our photographer was one of the greatest decisions we made! From the start she was quick with responding and and answering all my questions. She worked with us every...
step of the way and even met us at the venue to help with the wedding day timeline. The quality of pictures we got back could not be better, everyone is in love with them! I have pictures that I didn't even expect and could not be happier!
Abbey and her husband Caleb were the best wedding photographers I have ever seen. They were so patient, fun to work with, and truly a joy to have around. From the beginning, Abbey ...
was willing to work with me on any plans that she could. She sent a whole document of things to be thinking about and ways we can set up a timeline that works for everyone. She has so much insight in the wedding business and really helps make planning a breeze. On the day of the wedding, Abbey and Caleb helped calm nerves and captured the whole day perfectly!! They even added some of their personality in the pictures to really have a fun day. They knew all of the right poses to make the pictures look incredible. I would highly recommend Abbey Grim Photography!
Abbey is great! We are beyond happy with our photos and everything she did the day of. The photos are beautiful!
Abbey does amazing work! We recently had our engagement session with her. She is so easy to work with and makes taking pictures fun! I absolutely love our photos! Looking forward...
to our wedding photos next year!

We recently had our engagement photos with Abbey (and her husband Caleb as assistant) and just loved our time spent with them and our photos even more! Abbey is the sweetest person...
in the world and makes you feel just at ease during the photo shoot! She really has an amazing talent in making the couple be the focus of the photo even with the beautiful scenery in the background. Looking so forward to our wedding in May!!
My wife and I choose Abbey for a couple of reasons... a) we really liked her photos and b) she is awesome to work with! Our first conversation with her was via Skype, her and her h...
usband introduced themselves and we got to get to know each other a bit. My wife and I felt very comfortable with them and we’re confident selecting her to be our photographer.
Abbey is very professional. She would follow-up with us regularly to remind us she hadn’t forgotten about us and was very communicative and punctual on the day of the wedding.
She is also fun to work with! She has a great sense of humor and wanted to know our story as she was genuinely interested with us as a couple - not just getting good photos.
Abbey also did a fantastic job at getting photos of our family and friends that were with us at the wedding. She definitely lived up to our expectations!
We highly recommend Abbey to anyone who is looking for a photographer in the NWI region.
Thank you Abbey!!
Our photos turned out beautiful. Highly recommend Abby for her creative flair and attention to details. You won’t be disappointed with your final product!
Abbey was fabulous to work with for our engagement session! I absolutely loved our engagement pictures and she even helped us coordinate outfits beforehand as I was clueless as I h...

I could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding. Abbey kept on schedule, got all the photos we wanted, and made everything feel natural. It truly felt like she wa...
s an observer capturing moments, rather than directing every shot. Everyone had nothing but great things to say about her and her husband/assistant Caleb.
Abbey is just the best. Not only she is a great photographer, but she is also one of the best people you will ever meet. We worked with her and Caleb, her husband, for our engageme...

l of her ideas ended up looking amazing! Her and her husband Caleb are great people who really go the extra mile to make us feel great about our wedding!
Abbey Grim was an absolute blast to work with for both our engagement and wedding. She was the best decision we made during the wedding planning process. She made the wedding day, ...
followed by photographers seamless and natural. She makes each and every client feel like a friend and not a job. Even with our wedding being during the height of wedding season she got us a few teaser photos back in just a few days! I was sooo impressed with her work, and have received so many compliments on her photos. I highly recommend Abbey as your wedding photographer! Shes an amazing individual, fun to work with an only puts forth impeccable work and photos!

Abbey is so personable and sweet. I had her do my senior pictures, engagement pictures, and wedding pictures. She is so much fun. I have so many pictures, all of which are fabulous...
. She has amazing ideas and is open to hear ideas. Her forms are very thorough and she has a whole section for the types of pictures that are a must have for the bride and groom. She is also very encouraging during the picture taking. She made me feel at ease. I usually don’t like my picture taken, but she makes it fun. She usually has an assistant with her. Her husband Caleb does it a lot and he is super nice also. I recommend her to everyone. She gives you such a wide variety of pictures. I recommend her to everyone. Hire Abbey and you’ll never be disappointed!

r, that day, he felt comfortable and relaxed. Let's not forget, the quality of her photos and the details she put into our special day was absolutely perfect. We truly were blessed to be able to have Abbey photograph our wedding! We cannot thank you enough for all you time and effort into making our special day, one to remember for the rest of our lives.
Abbey is amazing at what she does and is the sweetest lady ever💕

As far as photographers go, you will be hard pressed to find better service and quality than Abbey Grim photography.
Admittedly, neither my wife nor I had any idea what to expec...
t going into our engagement photo shoot, so we were unsure if we would get the shots that we wanted. In hindsight, our concerns were unwarranted because Abbey has such a great eye for detail! We not only got all the shots that we initially wanted, but we were also surprised that some of our favorite photos were poses/settings that Abbey came up with throughout the session. We were also impressed that our photos were edited within a very reasonable time frame, especially considering that this was during a busy time of the year.
Overall, I would strongly recommend scheduling your next photography event (engagement, wedding, etc.) with Abbey Grim Photography.
I was 100% blown away by AG Photography. She was so helpful throughout the entire process. She was essential when helping us figure out the timeline for the big day. She also refer...
red us to other vendors like the DJ which took some of the pressure off of our quest for the perfect vendors.
Abbey is so well respected in the wedding community in Northwest Indiana. Many of my vendors, like my hair and makeup artist, said something like “Oh Abbey is your photographer?! She’s great, we love working with her!”
And of course, the photos themselves were BREATH-TAKING!!!
I recommend her to anyone who wants top quality photos and professionalism for their wedding.
Happily married since 11/4/18!
Abbey was so sweet and amazing to work with throughout the whole process. She made us both feel comfortable from our first meeting, to engagement pictures then wedding pictures, an...
d she was able to capture the day so perfectly! You can really tell how much she loves what she does and it was clear how skilled she is at photography! At the end of the day, she felt like a close friend instead of a vendor. She had the perfect balance of taking control when we felt lost, or going with the flow of the day. We are so happy with how the pictures turned out and seeing the little moments and details that we missed. I'd definitely choose her again in a heartbeat!
Reached out to her and set up an appointment at her convenience three weeks out 18 months before the wedding. Despite her being the one to set up the meeting and telling me that wa...

She was flexible and so easy to work with. Everyone loved her pictures after the wedding!! She captured so many tiny moments of our day that we are so grateful to now have in our wedding album. You cannot go wrong with booking Abbey as your wedding photographer. She will not disappoint! You will gain wonderful pictures and a friend :)
Abbey was amazing every step of the way! She was very professional and managed the photography for our wedding in an organized and efficient way while also making it fun. She made ...
it easy so that we didn't have to worry about the photography at all. And the pictures turned out incredibly. She had lots of creative ideas that resulted in unique photos that my wife and I and our families have enjoyed so much. We feel really great about choosing Abbey as our photographer and recommend her as highly as possible.
Abbey does more than photograph brides and grooms and guests and details - she captures relationships with a camera and pins down beautiful fleeting moments so you can enjoy them o...
ver and over again. Two years after our wedding, the cake is long eaten and the dresses long closeted and there is no substitute for the beautiful images Abbey has given us!

arth people you will ever meet. She makes you feel at ease in front of the camera. She captured every part of our special day. Thanks to Abbey, my husband and I get to relive our special day all over again every time we look at our photos. We couldn't have asked for anyone better!
I got married months ago and this review is super overdue!
Finding a photographer was top of my priority list as I began the planning process. I was adamant to find a creative, fu...
n, and inspired photographer, especially someone to handle my husband who I knew would not be a fan of constantly getting his photo taken. She was patient with our awkwardness and helped both of us become comfortable. We came to our engagement session completely rushed and frantic and riled up (completely our fault….it was a stressful season and it was our only free weekend for months, so we had just crammed too much into one weekend). Despite our state of mind, Abbey made us relax, showed us how to pose with still looking natural.
From beginning to end, Abbey was nothing but professional. Her welcome kit really helps lay out what the wedding day will look like and the beautiful personalized gift she sent after the wedding was SUCH a thoughtful, kind gesture.
I was also appreciative of her second shooter, Mackenzie, who was able to handle the groomsmen. My husbands’ groomsmen are the type of guys to randomly climb trees or race each other (while wearing tuxes) just because they can. She handled them like a champ and really captured some of my favorite, candid photos from the boys of the night!
My other favorite moment happened when Abbey had a moment of uber creativity (she was truly creative all day tho) and took a double exposure shot – and if that photo isn’t proof of her incredible talent, I don’t know what is.
I definitely would recommend Abbey - you won't regret it!
Abbey was amazing to work with from the start! My fiance found her work online and said we should meet her. From the moment we met her and her husband, Caleb, we felt instantly com...
fortable with them and it was an easy decision to make. Abbey organized our engagement shoot, and when clouds became an issue on our original date, she changed her schedule to allow us a better photo shoot. She was patient and helpful throughout the planning process, even when my fiance and I were not the most prompt. During the wedding day, she solved a few crises and helped make the day go so smooth, going far beyond what a normal photographer would do. She knows the right places and times for everything, orchestrating it all to go smoother than you could imagine. I would hire Abbey immediately again if I had to do it over. We are so blessed to be able to have her and Caleb shoot our wedding, and we highly recommend Abbey to everyone!
I cannot say enough kind words about Abbey. She was a dream to work with, from beginning to end. I am truly someone who hates every photo taken of me (I even spent time trying to c...
onvince my husband that we didn't neeedd photos of our wedding). But from the beginning, I felt completely myself with Abbey. She sent a personalized welcome gift to our house, she captured our relationship for exactly who we were, and the shots were truly incredible. My guests cannot stop talking about her incredible attitude, professionalism, and the love that she brought to our wedding, as well as the BEAUTIFUL photos. But more so than just photos, Abbey and Caleb are the type of couple that make you excited for what your own marriage journey will bring. You're not "posing." That's what makes Abbey incredible, her photos truly tell your love story and capture you perfectly because she has walked alongside you. Not to mention, her quick thinking solved multiple day of wedding snafus for me (unsung wedding coordinator, problem solver, hero...). I cannot recommend her highly enough. My friends already call dibs on who gets to fly her out to their own weddings.
Abbey is absolutely incredible! Not only was she easy to work with but she made us feel SO comfortable on our wedding day. As someone who is not particularly comfortable in front o...
f a camera, Abbey made me feel so relaxed and beautiful. She is so talented and we were honored to have her photograph our wedding. I would highly recommend Abbey to all!
Words cannot even begin to express how wonderful Abbey is! She did an amazing job capturing every moment and the quality of her work is outstanding. We met her for the first time a...
t our engagement shoot, and she made us feel so at ease in front of the camera. She nailed it at the wedding, making sure the moments I wanted captured were taken care of. She has such an eye for detail and it was obvious when we got the photos back! I don't know what I would have done without her there!
I strongly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. It will be one of the best decisions you make!
Abbey was amazing! Our photos were great, and not just b/c we are really good looking ;-) All kidding aside, Abbey was great with both our engagement and wedding pictures. My husba...
nd HATES taking pictures and was initially dreading the engagement pictures. Afterwards he said, "that was pretty fun." That is HUGE for my husband, and he was looking forward to her taking our wedding pictures. My inlaws gushed about Abbey as well. They (and I) loved that it was so natural for her to be there. She and her assistant were not in people's faces, it was like they were part of the party. It helped that she busted out the Wobble effortlessly as well.
Abbey (and Mackenzie!) were such AMAZING photographers at our wedding this month. I'm not too much of a creative person when it comes to posing/photo ideas so I asked Abbey for som...
e help in that area, and she did a wonderful job! I've only seen some sneak peeks of the photos from the wedding, but I can tell they captured every precious moment possible! Abbey and Mackenzie brought so much energy to the table and were very flexible with what the wedding day time table brought. Both ladies went above and beyond in making sure that every picture I had on my list was taken and that the quality of the photos was superb (right lighting, posing, etc.). I could not have asked for better photographers for my wedding day! If you're looking for a wedding photographer-look no further :) THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!
