Abby Schafer Photography

by's work from a few high school classmates via facebook where she had photographed their weddings, and i loved how simple and precise her photography was. I love how natural and un-edited (is that a word?) her photos are. Abby and her assistant, Jillian were so easy to work with and made everyone feel comfortable the day of. I was super impressed with our wedding video, however. I HIGHLY recommend doing the photo and video package because our video is our favorite memory of our day. The video is our little keepsake from the best day of our lives and she captured everything from that day.

so much about what we wanted and sure did deliver. From our engagement photos to our wedding pictures and video. She responds quickly and is so easy to communicate with. She truly put our wants first throughout the entire day. I cannot get people to stop talking about how sweet she was and how beautiful our pictures are. As much as her work speaks for itself the relationship that Abby built and how she handles herself is even more reason that we will forever recommend her.

ng planning process. We liked that we got a chance to meet with her and see her work during our engagement session. Abby is friendly, creative, organized, flexible, dependable, and professional. She was always open to our ideas and made sure that we were getting what we wanted out of our time with her. Photos are returned promptly, and we've gotten to preview sneak-peeks even before that! She uses Facebook and Instagram, so sharing photos with family and friends is very easy. The photos speak for themselves - check out her website! My husband I and couldn't be happier.

very warm and inviting and people just respond to her. She brings out the best in everyone and you can plainly see this in her exceptional work. Our pictures came out spectacular and better than we ever imagined. Thank you Abby for capturing our wedding day so perfectly!

and loved her creative approach. She met Trent and Dawn at Chagrin River Park for the first time to take their engagement pictures. They both said that she immediately put them at ease, and they could relax and be themselves with her. They loved the engagement pictures and remarked how professional and personable she is to work with. When the wedding day arrived Abby went over and beyond what was expected of a photographer. She had sent Dawn a schedule to follow for when the various pictures would be taken. She was unbelievably organized and maintained a calm and supportive approach. This demeanor was so welcomed at a time when things can feel a little crazy at a wedding. Not only have the photos turned out beautifully.... but i’m having a hard time deciding which ones I want to have put on canvas, there are so many awesome ones to choose from. But here’s some other amazing things I noticed about Abby....I saw her pinning a dress for one of the bridesmaids, she handed out the corsages and pinned boutonnières on the groomsmen, she had bobby pins to help with hair malfunctions, and she handled every challenge with confidence and friendliness keeping us all calm. Abby Schafer, you are the “bomb”! I would give you a 100 star rating if that was an option. Would I recommend you to others... ABSOLUTELY! Thank you so much!! Beth Alberts

y taking care of all the details for me. Our photos and video came out amazing!!! I am so grateful to have worked with her and Bianca. Thank you for all your hard work ladies!

get the best photos of one of our most memorable days of our lives! You truly have a passion for collecting people’s most precious moments! Thank you so much for the amazing professional you are!

om the first meeting, down to the last detail, Abby was a great resource and an added brain for us as we planned every last detail and organized every item. She knew to ask questions we would never think of, and it was a great asset to have all of her wedding experience to bounce ideas off of. Abby was always communicative, professional, and organized in every aspect of her work and correspondence with us. She was always consistent and timely, and reached out for any interim items. I loved the way her and her team worked on our wedding day, we barely noticed them - it is not the personality of my husband or I to have a full scale production. With Abby we got genuine moments between us, and our loved ones without "getting the absolute perfect shot" being the focus of our day. Abby got the absolute perfect shot without us even noticing it was happening at the time. We purchased both a wedding photo package from her, as well as videography. We love both. The pictures were varied, true to our personalities, and plentiful. The video has been such fun for us to watch to see moments the other person may have missed, and to experience our wedding from the perspective of our guests. I cannot imagine having worked with anyone else to capture such a special day in our lives. Abby and her team comes highly recommended by us, our families, and guests!

d made suggestions I would have never thought of to help ensure we got the best photos possible which was SO important to me! I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer she truly is wonderful and I highly recommend her for any and all of your special life events!

asy to get along with and makes the couple comfortable.

son. Thanks Abby!

always responded in a timely manner and answered all of our questions. We threw her a nice curve ball and changed the date and length of our wedding, and she accommodated the change with genuine kindness and understanding. I would recommend Abby to friends and family without hesitation.

with my hectic schedule beforehand to hash out my vision and the details. Not only that, but the day of the wedding both Abby and Bianca went above and beyond with making sure we stayed on schedule and that I was able to relax and enjoy my time with my guests. We just got our photos from the day back and we are absolutely thrilled with how they turned out! Her work is stunning and she is so easy to work! Could not be happier!

t very professional! Thank you so much Abby!!!

o be ourselves and she truly captured our engagement pictures as us in our happy place together!!! I cannot wait for Abby to do our wedding pictures!!!

bsolutely amazing and I cannot stop looking at every single one of them over and over again. She brought another very talented second shooter with her the day of our wedding (Bianca), who was a great addition to our day as well. Abby will forever be our go-to photographer when we want professional pictures to perfectly capture the precious, loving, beautiful, and priceless moments in our lives. She became so much more than a photographer for us, and we are truly forever grateful that we chose to have Abby as such a huge part of our very special day.

s so sweet, such a nice person and her photos are absolutely, amazingly beautiful!! I completely 100% recommend Abby Schafer Photography for any and all of your photo needs!! Thanks so much Abby!!

photographer that we want to be with us for every milestone going forward. Not only is her work stunning, but she ensures that your day is stress-free and will take charge of any situation in the most professional and graceful way. Abby and Bianca also did a highlight video of our entire wedding which makes us tear every time we watch it. It was wonderful to have the option for them to shoot it, because it was much cheaper than hiring a videographer (and just as good, if not better!) and we didn't feel like we were being paparazzied on our wedding day. You can tell that Abby and her team are doing what they love, and that shines through their work. You couldn't pick a better photographer and team!

ciate their work more. The day flew by in a flash, but I can relive each moment thanks to the hard work of these two lovely ladies. They both went above and beyond our expectations. From tracking down my flip flops to save my aching feet to fixing the bustle on my dress throughout the reception, they both helped us enjoy our day and kept us looking great! We look forward to working with these ladies again in the future!

couldn’t be any happier with her work. Top Notch!!

as always organized. The first time we met, I knew I wanted Abby as my wedding photographer. She has the sweetest personality and is very easy to talk to and get along with. She genuinely seems to care about her clients and does every thing she can to make the day perfect. The day of she was the biggest help and really made sure the wedding ran smoothly. Abby and her second photographer were the perfect mix of professional and caring. One memorable moment with Abby and Bianca was that the limo window was stuck open and it was pouring rain and so to keep me from getting wet, they both covered the window with their arms. They got soaked in order to keep me dry. If that doesn't tell you how much Abby cares about her clients I'm not sure what will! Finally, Abby provided us with the most beautiful pictures and video we could've asked for! She emailed the pictures in a timely manner and was really good about communicating when they would be done. In all, I highly recommend Abby! She was better than I ever expected and I can't wait to use her to capture other big life events.

awless. She absolutely saw my vision and brought it to life! Not having a wedding planner, I would email Abby several times during the wedding planning process, and she was always quick to respond. She layed out my day of timeline and suggested the best order to do things during our reception (I had no idea.) Our day was planned so perfectly, it could not have gone better. Abby is so much more than a photographer, she has a passion for weddings! She helped place my veil, put my shoes on, and even put bandaids on my feet! Aside from Abby being an awesome person, I absolutely love her work! She has such a unique vision and made us look and feel so beautiful! She made us feel comfortable during our engagement shoot. She also did a boudoir shoot for me and I absolutely loved it! I was super nervous beforehand, but again Abby made me feel comfortable and the pictures came out so classy! My husband loves them! We can not wait to see all of our wedding photos, we know Abby will make them look amazing! Overall, I would ABSOLUTELY recommend Abby to anyone needing a photographer!

were professional and punctual, but also incredibly personable. Abby gave us what we asked for and then some. She helped the guys with their cufflinks. She bustled my dress to save time, and helped fix my dress when my bustle broke...and broke again. She captured all the big moments and then some, all the while making sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable. All of my family and friends raved about her. I truly believe there is no better option out there. What Abby and Bianca bring to the table is so, so much more than just pictures.

nd her and so thankful for the amazing pictures we will always have!

zing work that her team is capable of. Abby has a knack for capturing the story and personalities behind every wedding (or photo shoot) while framing it in some seriously beautiful compositions. But her ability as a photographer can speak for itself. What elevates Abby to the best is the service that comes with the skill. Throughout our big day, Abby perfectly managed all of our hopes and dreams while also making the day fun and memorable. Our bridal party fell in love with Abby and Bianca (THE most amazing assistant), and we truly felt taken care of. If I could say one thing to someone considering Abby Schafer Photography, it will always be "book her now!"

day so relaxing. I really enjoyed both of them and would recommend Abby to anyone getting married because she will make your special day even more special :)

and Bianca were taking amazing pictures to capture our special day. As we continue this journey in life, I will certainly contact Abby for all of our future photography needs!

e knew exactly which shots to get, and made everyone feel so comfortable. I am not someone who enjoys being photographed, but with Abby, it all seemed utterly natural. Her photos are absolutely beautiful, and though we've just received previews so far, I know that all of our photos are going to be amazing. On top of being a top-notch photographer, she is a pro at folding pocket squares, lacing up difficult bridesmaids' dresses, and fixing hair! An absolutely pleasure to work with--I would hire Abby again and again. Highly recommended!

arching we fell in love with Abby's friendly approach, appreciation for photography and most importantly an eye for capturing emotion! Abby also LOVES what she does and it shows! Abby is able to make you feel comfortable and make the whole day feel so natural! Not only did she ask me what poses/photos I wanted and ideas I had but she was able to find the perfect locations within our day to take the most incredible and unique photos. Abby is not just another photographer! You will feel like she is part of your family and such an integral part of your big day! Her hard work and dedication knows NO limits and she will do whatever she has to do to make sure your day is perfect! (Can we just talk about when my wedding dress strap broke before our reception and Abby instantly pulled out a sewing kit and fixed it for me within seconds?! Truly a moment I will never forget!) We received our final photos so quickly after the wedding. We truly appreciate Abby's quick turnaround time! (It's SO hard to wait to see wedding photos, and she gets that!) IN LOVE doesn't even begin to express how we felt about every single image she sent us! The photos perfectly depicted all the big moments and candid moments beautifullly. Absolutely breathtaking! Finding Abby was a lifesaver, and there is no one else I would rather have had as our photographer! Abby has become like family to us and we can't wait to continue to work with her in the future for all of our special moments!

always checking in to see if there was anything she could help with. The day of, she captured beautiful images and put even the most camera shy at ease. She got everything, all while managing to reflect the emotions in each image. I could rest at ease knowing Abby knew what photos were important to me. And she made everything and everyone look as amazing in the photos as they did in real life. And did I mention everyone who interacted with her and her second photographer, Bianca, couldn't stop raving about how sweet and fun they both were? But they weren't pushovers. When any issues arose, they handled them. They were professional and approachable, and they contributed to a wonderful day.

he day- when you are getting married , sometimes this detail seems less important , but trust me it is! Especially with wedding parties. Her photos were fun and playful, modern and mainly BEAUTIFUL. I have gotten SO many compliments on our wedding photos and people want to order them NOW even when they aren't available yet! I wish we could get married again and share this experience with Abby again as our photographer . She helped make it such a memorable time ,and reminded us ,( even when stressed) the real meaning of the wedding , and made everything less stressful . She had beautiful object photos and works very well to create a beautiful scenic photo. She and her assistant even had to deal with a bridal party of 20! She deserves as MANY clients as possible because she is THAT good . Better book her fast because she is in high demand! I definitely am recommending her in the future to friends that are or will be getting married ... And for any other special events in our lives ! Sincerely- Kenton and Laura 10/29/2016 Wedding Date 👌🏼

! I cannot wait until the big day :)

d keep me calm and keep our wedding day organized so we had time to get all the photos we wanted. She truly is an experienced wedding photographer and you can tell she truly cares about her clients.
