We could not have asked for a better photographer than Abby! From our engagement session to our wedding day, she was an absolute dream to work with. She made us feel so comfortable...
in front of the camera, which is not always easy to do. Abby is incredibly talented and she captures the most genuine, beautiful moments. She has such a creative eye and came up with amazing ideas that made our photos feel unique and special to us. She’s also so organized and professional—she got our sneak peeks back to us so quickly, which was the best surprise after our engagement pictures and our wedding. Abby made our wedding party, our families, everyone—feel completely at ease, and it really showed in the photos. She truly went above and beyond to make the whole experience fun and stress-free. We’re so grateful to have had her capture such an important time in our lives.
If I could give a million out of 5 stars I would. Abby was incredible from day one, we are in love with our engagement photos.
Our wedding day could not have been smoother, thanks...

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 w...
edding 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!

ond 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!

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 advent...
ure. 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!

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.

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!

Plus we love love her editing skills😍 If you are looking for the perfect wedding photographer look no further! Thank you Abby for being a part of our special day 🤍
