We had a very bad experience dealing with Abigail Gagne Photography. Like so many other people, our wedding never happened. Due to covid guests were quarantined and couldn't attend...
, the caterer had to cancel, tux rental shop closed along with a few issues.
Most of our vendors worked with us to refund a portion of our deposit. I understand they're out of a lot of work but they're also holding on to deposit money for doing no work at all (coupled with insurance and government relief).
Here it is more than 7 months after our planned wedding and we just now got half our money back (paid in full) and that was after a lot of back and forth, she didn't want to refund anything. I'd never deal with Abigail Gagne Photography again and don't recommend them.
I wish I could give a million stars because Abby was just absolutely amazing! Not only does she have a fun personality but she also is very professional and her work from what I ha...
ve seen is just beautiful and I can’t wait to see how she captured our special day. Her and her assistant were on point and none stop taking photos the entire time. Best part is she also didn’t constantly pull us away for photos she let us be in the moment which are honestly the best photos of all. Again can’t rave enough about how wonderful she was and would definitely work with her again. Thank you Abby for capturing our special day.
Thank you,
The newly Weds Michelle & Jonathan Glass
Having photos taken is intimidating and feels vulnerable. So I pulled up questions to interview few photographers. Abby was the only one who was very patient and answered in detail...
about her process. She was willing to go far and beyond to get best photos of us. Abby made the whole process fun! The end result was she made our emotions a full roller coaster ride. Made us cry and laugh. So thankful!
Abby was an absolute gem, and we are so grateful that we had her as our wedding photographer! You should DEFINITELY book her. Throughout the entire process, Abby was a delight to w...
ork with, and we are absolutely thrilled with the photos that we have from our engagement session and from our wedding day. We told her from the get-go that we were looking for fun, natural photos that captured the way we interact in real life, and she nailed exactly what we were going for. At our engagement session, Abby did a wonderful job of helping us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of the camera. As a result, we have such a lovely set of pictures that really capture how we relate to each other. We also loved the creative poses that she suggested to help get some wonderful shots. Beyond the beautiful shots that Abby took, she was always a friendly, positive, and calming presence. Our wedding day featured pouring rain until an hour and a half before our outdoor ceremony, and Abby gracefully found ways to get great pictures (even though we unexpectedly couldn’t go outside for pictures as planned). During the whole time, she was a wonderful presence in the potentially tense situation. Throughout the day, Abby and her team did an excellent job of helping create a relaxed flow so we could get the pictures we wanted, guiding us through the first look, and capturing the details of the event. She also sent us a preview slideshow of pictures only a couple days after the wedding, and then sent us the entire album even quicker than we expected. We absolutely adore the amazing pictures she took. Abby exceeded our expectations on every metric, and we feel so lucky to have had her capture our wedding! It really felt like she was a friend tagging along at our wedding who also happened to be an amazing photographer.
In French, the word souvenir can mean remembrance, reminiscence, recollection, keepsake. Planning a wedding and choosing a photographer is never an easy task, but trying to organiz...
e from France added a little additional stress since there was limited face-to-face contact and sometimes communication can be difficult. This was not the case with Abby. She was so quick to respond and was detailed in her communication; she really tried to get a sense of who Daniel and I were and what our expectations were for the day. She was excellent in guiding us through the formal session and once the reception started she was so discreet I didn't even know she was there, but she captured some really special memories for us. She was quick to send our final photos and we just absolutely love them!! Her work is amazing; she captures really beautiful and intimate moments. Thank You Abby for the lifetime of souvenirs!
Abigail is amazing! She is so professional, talented, takes great photos, and makes you feel so comfortable! I am beyond pleased with the photos Abigail took. She takes her time to...
listen to what you want and offers great suggestions which made our photos turn out perfectly. Everything from scheduling to receiving the photos was seamless. I've already begun referring my friends and we will definitely be coming back to her for our future photography needs!
I loved Abby's talent and skills, but her personality is what made my husband and I book her. She truly made my wedding day amazing and was extremely flexible and genuine. Abby, th...
ank you so much!
Do not hesitate to book Abby for your wedding. What a talent! Not only is she a fantastic photographer but she is organized, responsive to emails, cool under pressure and really fu...
n to be around. She put everyone at their ease and kept a smile on her face from 2pm-midnight. Our pictures came out absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to use her in the future for family portraits. Get her now while she is seriously underpriced! She won't stay a secret for long.
Wow... I don't know where to begin with how happy I am that we chose Abby as our photographer for our wedding. Abby was an absolute joy to work with! You can stop reading my review...
here if you would like: our wedding photos are gorgeous and you should definitely hire her! My husband and I live in the San Francisco and were so stressed while planning. Our wedding was in Southern California and we had to plan everything 600 miles away. I intensely reviewed photographers in the San Diego region on WeddingWire/Yelp and eventually "met" Abby via a phone call. We knew immediately that we wanted to hire her for our big day. She did not disappoint! Abby made us feel so at ease during the entire process. She took a day to meet us at our venue and familiarize herself with photo opportunities. She completely understood our vision on the day of and offered any additional help that we needed for the day of (for our wedding in general!). She was so sweet and friendly, which made the entire process that much more enjoyable. Abby and her team were timely and easily guided us through our wedding day during our more formal pictures. They all were so professional/prompt and blended so easily into our wedding that we did not notice they were even there after our group photos. Abby also made huge efforts to fulfill my special requests for particular photos: two first looks, special photos honoring those who could not attend our wedding, and providing myself with a photo with a special meaning.
We received a sneak peek of our photos within 48 hours of our wedding and they were stunning! We then received our full pictures (with a mini video that Abby made!) a short while after and LOVED them. I randomly remembered that Abby mentioned at our wedding she couldn't get a particular shot because there was a ray of sun beaming in the way for a few frames (she eventually got the shot). I texted her after the wedding and asked if she could send those frames anyways because I felt that it was a sign from someone important who could not be there with us and Abby quickly sent it to me. That photo means so much to myself and my family now. I still am receiving compliments about how stunning her work was for our wedding. The photos were such high quality and I appreciated that she took time to not only photograph us but also took amazing candid photos of our guests. We plan on incorporating the candid photos into our "thank you" cards since they are such beautiful photos of our guests and their dates. We are so pleased with our entire experience with Abby and have already recommended her to two brides. She truly is incredible! We WILL be reaching out to her again for maternity and newborn photos in the future

regnant, and not exactly feeling like by best self, but Abby made me feel comfortable in my own skin. She even got Daddy in the photos! I will cherish these photos forever and can't thank Abby enough for capturing this beautiful time in my life.
Abby and her team photographed our wedding on Friday, March 25, 2016. The photographs turned out absolutely amazing. She not only drove out to our wedding location, which was a cou...
ple hours away from her; but she was always so kind and professional throughout the planning, the wedding, and afterwards. The communication was wonderful and I would definitely recommended her services to everyone I know! I even received compliments about her from wedding attendees about how great she was and the cinematography staff about how easy to work with she was!
Abby was amazing at my sisters wedding. But I didn't know how amazing until she gave us our photos.
It was next level! It was like she knew the moments to capture without ever...

Raining in LA so we kept rescheduling it, I felt any other photographer may have charged for how many times we rescheduled! Finally the day came for our pictures Venice Beach... omg the pictures came out Amazing !!! There was one shot I really really wanted to get it was infront of the Venice sign at this time it's 7pm we are tired and there's just too much traffic.
