I can't say enough great things about Abby! From start to finish, she was incredibly detail-oriented, making sure every shot was perfect. My engagement pictures were amazing and so unique. Before the wedding, I described the exact vibe I was hoping for, and she absolutely nailed it—every photo captured the warmth, joy, and energy of the day just as I had imagined. When I got the photos back, I was absolutely blown away. They were stunning, and I’ve received so many compliments from family and friends. Beyond her talent, Abby was also a joy to work with—calm, professional, and always making sure we felt comfortable. If you're looking for someone who and brings your vision to life, Abby is the one!

I cannot say enough good about Abby! Our engagement photos turned out better than I could have ever imagined! We had an associate photographer, Bella, that did the photos for our wedding day and she was amazing as well! We had planned outdoor photos and first look but unfortunately got a downpour on the day of our wedding. Bella made sure to find beautiful spaces at our venue for our photos and first look and had great ideas to make the photos look just as special. I’m almost glad it rained because the photo sneak peaks have looked so beautiful and have gotten so many compliments! Both ladies are so kind and made us feel so comfortable! The style of the photos is so cool and vibey, which compliments the winter forest theme of our wedding perfectly! We can’t wait to see the rest!

Book her now!!! Abby took all the inspo from my Wedding Pinterest board and brought it to life ❤️ We had Belle taking photos the day of and she did amazing- she usually is her second shooter (Abby was unavailable the day of) and my word neither of them disappointed!!! Abby was super responsive and flexible, even messaging us the day after she had her baby! Belle made us feel so comfortable and helped get those perfect Pinterest poses we saw! It was a breeze working with Abby and the communication was A+++. We are IN LOVE with the sneak peak photos and are just itching to get the rest of them!

Abby was my DREAM wedding photographer, I knew I needed her for our wedding the minute we got engaged. As soon as I got my sneak peeks the night of our wedding, I just knew abby KILLED it! She braved the heat (94 degrees), and was so delightful to work with. Our pictures are so beautiful, and we cannot wait to look back on these timeless memories for years to come. I cannot recommend Abby enough!

We can’t recommend Abby Jean Photography enough! From our engagement photos to our wedding photos, Abby truly captured our special memories so beautifully. Beyond her incredible talent and professionalism, she was incredibly helpful throughout the whole process. Despite the holiday season, she provided a swift turnaround of our wedding gallery. Thank you for preserving our special memories!

Where do I even start with Abby? I found her on Instagram through a mutual follower and thought her pictures were phenomenal. I felt super shy behind a camera and had never really had professional photos done in my life. Abby made my husband and I feel SO comfortable and truly captured our personalities so well. We did engagement photos, a Valentine's mini session, and our wedding photos with Abby and the amount of compliments I have received on those photos is insane! She had my wedding sneak peaks to me the night of the wedding for me to post the next day, which was amazing! Not only are her photos outstanding, her personality is just the best. You know those people that just feel like sunshine when you are around them? Abby is that person. She was the most calming and positive presence I could have asked for the day of the wedding. I will recommend her forever!

We had a destination wedding in rural WY, and we were very concerned about hiring a photographer who would be willing to travel to capture our day and who would be up for an adventure. We knew we needed someone flexible, rain or shine, who could capture our wedding’s spontaneity, beauty, and uniqueness.
I had been watching Abby’s photography business grow since she started, and I loved her style. We had a call with Abby and felt completely at ease as she went over all the details and answered our many questions. She discussed her different packages and flexible itinerary for the day in case of weather. After that conversation, we knew we had to have Abby as our photographer. She was just as excited to be part of our day as we were to have her as a part of ours.
Our wedding day was everything we could have hoped for, and Abby played a huge part in that. She made us feel so comfortable and so at ease—she was more than a photographer who showed up, took pictures, and left. She helped make the day go so smoothly, and we had so much fun the entire day. Abby is 100% worth the investment, and I couldn’t recommend her enough. Her photos turned out timeless, and we couldn’t be happier. You should absolutely hire her. Thank you, Abby!

Abby was very thorough in her photographs of our wedding. She coordinated photos with the other vendors (DJ, caterer, etc.) to ensure we got the best photos and to ensure our day went smoothly. She was very easy to work with and helped me with getting ready and other little details that she did not have to help with. All of our photos turned out great!

Abby was incredible from start to finish! She was quick and professional in her responses from my initial inquiry. The day of our elopement, she arrived early and gave us several suggestions on nearby locations. Abby made us feel so comfortable and natural in front of the camera. We didn’t have to think about anything - she told us exactly what to do! She provided us a sneak peek within a couple of hours of our session and communicated her progress on our gallery with us in the following weeks. I cannot recommend Abby enough!! Her work is stunning and we will absolutely be working with her again for future photos.

Abby was absolutely PHENOMENAL! She captured our engagement pictures, did boudoir photos, and our wedding pictures and I will forever recommend her. The amount of time and effort she put into making our day perfect is unmatched. Every shoot she sent back sneak peeks before the end of the day and the rest of the album in a very timely manor. There are not enough words to describe how amazing her work is.

I will 100% be hiring Abby again for future photography sessions!

Abby is so patient and kind and has a brilliant way of capturing all of the big (and little) details and moments. She produces photographs you didn’t even know you needed. In fact, most of my favorite shots from our wedding night were her ideas and I will cherish them forever! Abby is the best in the business!!

Abby was amazing to work with! Our wedding came together super fast and we were so lucky to be able to get Abby for the day. We had an intimate, 25 person wedding and we didn't do a ton of the traditional pics- bridal party, first dance, bouquet toss, etc. I was worried there wasn't a real need for a photographer. But even with so little to work with on our end Abby pulled off some amazing shots. Neither one of us are particularly experienced in front of a camera but Abby directed us and wrangled our families so effortlessly. I was so grateful to feel like it wasn't something I had to manage on the day- it was all taken care of.
They were also fun and fit in so easily while hanging out, getting ready, chilling at the reception. Not to mention super communicative beforehand. The pictures came out great and I couldn't be happier with our choice!

Loved that her husband came along for the groom and his pictures. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

There is no one else I would trust with my Wedding photos!!! Abby did my engagement photos and it was the easiest most laid back session I have ever done. She told us exactly how to stand where to look and where to put our hands. Being a plus size babe like myself I’m always worried about getting the right angle to make me look thinner and I swear she got the perfect angles! I am so in love with the engagement photos and can’t wait for the wedding! Abby is the BEST I highly recommend her for all of ur photography needs! You definitely won’t be disappointed! She is also super patient. We really wanted our puppy included in some of our shots and as we know puppy’s are all over the place but somehow she managed to get the perfect pictures!
