About this vendor
Abigail Grey Photography is a wedding photography business based in Richmond, Virginia but willing to travel anywhere to document a wedding story.
Welcome! Abigail is a photographer for couples who believe love is worth savoring.
She has always loved the ability of photography to suspend a breath of time. A mother taking in her daughter from the back of the chapel. Candles shrinking as evening turns to night. Tears of laughter from the embrace of old friends. The texture of life.
For nearly a decade now, she has had the honor of being invited into some of the most sacred spaces—from childhood homes and elegant manors to painterly fields and quiet sanctuaries. And when flipping through memories, what stands out most are the couples who gathered their people together and celebrated love so very well.
As a photographer and artist, her eyes are tuned to those moments that make the wedding day and relationship wholly unique. So, when you work with Abigail, she wants to get to know you as more than the person who’s paying her to show up.

Having Abigail as our photographer was one of the best decisions of wedding planning. She talked us through everything and made us feel so at ease with the process, and being behin...
d the camera! The day truly does go by so fast and is a bit of a blur so nothing makes us happier than having all of Abigail (and her wonderful partner Ben!) images to cherish and look back on. The day, every detail, and most importantly every emotion, was captured so beautifully and we could not be more thankful to them. Her photos really capture the emotion and that’s exactly what we wanted, having these special moments with our loved ones to look back at.
After our first phone call I knew I wanted to go with Abigail, there was just something about her energy that already made me so comfortable, she echoed that by adding that your vibe with your wedding photographer matters since for a lot of those intimate moments throughout the day it’s just you and them! We also did engagement photos with Abigail and we already knew we loved her but that just further sealed the deal. We are equally obsessed with those special images, and we left that session feeling giddy about the fun we would have on our wedding day and of course the photos we would get. To Abigail’s very astute point, day of we did a first look and my husband traveled to that with just her partner, and I traveled with her, and truly all we feel is lucky and grateful to have had them with us during those intimate times. We were comfortable and had fun with them and felt totally at ease. The images speak for themselves, they are absolutely gorgeous, and I think the natural and at ease feeling comes through in the photos. We will forever be thankful that we went with Abigail as our wedding photographer and I would recommend her a million times over to anyone and everyone!
Abigail was the vendor I was most excited to work with. Her photos are works of art and her eye for those special moments is uncanny. On our wedding day, Abigail and her husband Be...
n were patient, thorough, and worked with a speed that speaks to countless reps over many years. Not only are they our personal friends, they're professionals, and such genuinely kind down-to-earth people. I cannot wait to see how the photos turn out!
Abigail was one of the first wedding vendors we booked and I'm so glad we did! She was a dream to work with, just the kindest person and a consummate professional as well. She talk...
ed us through the process and made us feel comfortable with everything. Most importantly, Abigail is a true artist and that really comes out through her work. Her style of photography is so emotional, nostalgic, and just plain cool. I am still obsessed with our wedding photos 6 months later. Thanks so much Abigail!
I first met Abigail at my friends wedding where Abigail was the photographer. It was clear to me then that I needed to reach out to her when it came time to book a photographer for...
my own wedding. She was one of the first vendors I booked and she was incredibly communicative, consistent, personable and fun! Our vision for capturing our wedding day was met by Abigail through her talented skill and eye. I love every photo she took of our day (especially our selfie at the end of the night, and yes I remember it albeit a bit foggy :D) and will cherish them always as they are an all encompassing representation of how perfect and beautiful our day was for us. Thank you doesn't seem to cut it for the priceless memories she's captured for us. We will miss you in BTV!!
There are not enough words to describe how talented, personable, sweet and amazing Abigail is! My husband and I were lucky enough to work with Abigail for both our engagement photo...
s and our wedding. From the moment we met her she put us at ease and made the entire process fun. She was with us every step of the way while planning and always checking in and making sure we were good to go for our wedding day. Everyone in our wedding party loved Abigail as she made all the photos seamless and fun and nothing felt cheesy or overdone. We opted for the second shooter as well when we booked with Abigail and I'm so glad we did because her friend and fellow photographer, Nicole, was just as sweet and wonderful to work with! Having them both there on such an important day was such a gift and our previews actually take my breath away. These photos are everything I dreamed of and more and I'm so happy we have them to look back on and share for the rest of our lives! If you are considering working with Abigail for your wedding DO NOT THINK TWICE!

tion. I was thrilled when I found out she was available for our wedding.
Working with Abigail was as amazing as her photography. She was quick to respond to emails, incredibly detail oriented, kind, supportive, thoughtful, helpful and one of the most genuine human beings I've ever met.
When we received our wedding album we were blown away. The photos were gorgeous and captured every single moment of the day from start to finish.
If you're looking for an incredibly talented and professional photographer for your special occasion, look no further.
I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about Abigail. Not only did she deliver so many stunning photographs of our engagement shoot last year and our wedding this October, she...
was also such a joy to work with during the entire process. Abigail is so incredibly sweet, talented and professional. She made my husband and me feel so comfortable in front of the camera. Her husband joined her as a second shooter on our wedding day, they worked so well together ensuring that all of the photos we wanted were taken. I was fully confident that Abigail would deliver amazing photos, but she absolutely went above and beyond anything we could have imagined. We have looked through our photo gallery several times now, every single time I am brought to tears. Our pictures are truly magical, they are so raw and full of emotion, we will cherish them forever. Friends and family who we have shared the photos with are so impressed with them as well. We will definitely work with Abigail in the future!!!
This review is long overdue but goodness, where do I even start. Abigail is an absolute treasure. I can only imagine how stressful it must be to navigate being a professional photo...
grapher amidst a pandemic, maintaining a business while respecting a huge array of client sensitivities and preferences. She has done it all with the utmost professionalism, care, and talent.
My partner and I postponed our big bash until 2021 but decided to have a small ceremony with family at my childhood home in Vermont. It was so hard to make the decision to postpone, but Abigail was flexible, empathetic and enthusiastic about our new ideas. She helped turn what was once an incredibly hard and distressing decision into one of our most favorite memories. Abigail captured our intimate ceremony exquisitely and I'll treasure these photos forever. I gifted my grandmother a collection of the photos for Christmas and she called them a work of art (they are!) : )
I cannot wait to work with Abigail again as we look ahead to holding our big bash in 2021!
Working with Abigail Grey Photography was a dream come true - this was the very first vendor we hired, mere weeks after getting engaged. Wedding photography is a saturated market b...
ut Abigail stands out because of the creativity, thoughtfulness, and passion clearly seen in her photos. It's difficult to express how thrilled we were to work with her, but I will try to categorize my favorite aspects below:
*Professionalism* Throughout the entire process (>1 year), Abigail was timely, organized, and committed. She regularly sent us updates and promptly answered any requests, and even put in extra care and attention to detail by helping us to craft the perfect schedule for our day. She asked questions ahead of time that made the event run smoothly, understanding upfront what pictures were most important to us, what our family dynamics were, etc. This made the day so stress-free, because we knew that she was fully prepared and we did not have to worry about a thing.
*Quality* Photography services are expensive for a reason - this is NOT an area where you should be looking for a "deal" in my opinion. The quality of services we received was well worth the investment. We were provided high-resolution flawlessly-edited previews within days of the event, and several weeks later we received an online gallery with hundreds of breath-takingly beautiful images. I cannot stop looking at them. We can't help but imagine how our children and grandchildren are going to one day look at these photographs and be able to truly feel the atmosphere of our wedding, because Abigail perfectly captured the essence of our day! Her photos are absolutely timeless.
*Creativity* One of our favorite things about this vendor is her vision. She captured moments that we didn't even realize were special - such as grabbing a sweet photo of us on a mid-reception Zoom call with our family and friends who couldn't attend due to our COVID downsizing. Our wedding location was pretty, but she made it look even more elegant and sophisticated by choosing the perfect spots and angles. She really knows how to reflect the emotion of a day and draw out the details that you might not have noticed at the time.
*Personality* This made a huge difference. Abigail is just a joy to spend time with, and if you are shy/awkward in front of a camera, this is who you want around. She made us feel so comfortable with her calming presence, and her expertise will put your anxieties to rest. I was worried about knowing where to look or how to pose, but she somehow encourages you to be authentic and genuine in a way that you inherently look "photogenic" because you're so unapologetically yourself.
Overall, I am so happy with our experience booking this vendor. Would highly recommend this company to anyone searching!!!
As an artist and photographer myself, finding the perfect person to capture our special day was one of the most important wedding planning decisions I would make. Abigail was the f...
irst and only photographer I reached out to because as soon as we spoke I knew that she was the perfect fit for us. The photos on her website and instagram speak for themselves, and Abigail is enthusiastic and professional while being simultaneously laid back and easy going.
Abigail came up to Montreal to visit back in February to take some engagement photos in our home and she instantly made us feel at ease. While I am used to being on the other side of the camera, being photographed by Abigail truly felt like hanging out with a friend.
Our plans changed quite a few times as 2020 changed our 120 person event in Vermont in May to a 20 person event in the Hudson Valley in September. Making sure that Abigail would be available through all of the twists and turns became an absolute priority. Her availability became the driving factor in choosing a new date. She was so supportive and encouraging throughout all of the uncertainty. Her flexibility and kindness were refreshing and reassuring as we navigated pandemic wedding planning.
Working with Abigail felt so natural and I could not be happier with how all of our photos turned out. She is incredibly talented and find myself repeatedly scrolling through the gallery and getting lost in the magic of the day!
Abigail was an incredibly important part of our wedding day. We eloped - with no guests - so each and every vendor mattered so much. Abigail and her husband, Ben, who was the video...
grapher, helped to shape our day so artfully and gently. They’re so kind, sweet, and lovely to be around - and the final product couldn’t make us happier. I’m not exaggerating when I say that we’ve been told that they’re some of the most beautiful wedding images ever. Abigail just really understood our vision and brought it to life so perfectly. We can’t recommend Abigail - and Ben! - enough
Abigail is just incredible! She did not just capture our elopement day in all its beauty and honesty, but she also magically made it more special.
Abigail really made an effort t...
o get to know us, and instead of having a random person at our intimate elopement we really felt like we had a friend. She also brought a cheese platter and a bottle of champagne for our post-elopement picnic which was such a sweet touch.
And the quality and beauty of the photos... we are still speechless how gorgeous those are!
If you are lucky enough and Abigail is available for the date that is special to you, don't even think twice! Book her asap and enjoy the magic :)
Abby is someone you can 101% trust your dearest memories with. Hands down. Her work is technically excellent and authentic to her own style. She doesn't chase trends, she truly is ...
true to who she is. Coming from a photographer, I never had a doubt about if Abby would produce meaningful work. I was able to be an excited BRIDE and not worry or be anxious about being the photographer. This is huge for me. Working with Abby has grown me in my own photography business and in my relationship building with clients. What brings tears to my eyes as I write this is that she chose to intentionally get to know my husband and I through our engagement and wedding planning (even now into marriage) journeys. We LOVE her and can see her photographing us for the rest of our lives. She is organized, free flowing, energetic, kind and understanding. Our wedding day was peaceful and we had EXTRA time to just relax before the ceremony. She's also human (is that possible?!) and made herself available to us to make sure we were doing okay throughout the day. She captured everything going on and more. Our socks are blown off and we can't thank her enough for enough.
Abby was our dream photographer before we even knew it and now she's our dear friend. I strongly encourage you to invest in working with Abby. She needs to keep doing what she's doing, because she is truly phenomenal. Thank you!
Abby was the first and best choice we made in wedding planning. She was so reachable, honest, and empathetic in helping us choose what we wanted to prioritize in our day and its do...
cumentation. She really was more of a wedding therapist than just a wedding photographer! She was thoroughly organized while still being incredibly empathetic and calm in the planning process. She goes above and beyond to get to know and love her clients like friends. By the time we had done our engagement photos with her, she knew all our antics, inside jokes, and was able to really capture our most natural selves. But, the wedding day was the strongest testament to her talent. Having never met her, our wedding planner cautioned us against having just one photographer instead of a second shooter. We promised her she'd understand when she met Abby. After watching Abby artfully, gracefully, lovingly but EFFICIENTLY and flawlessly capture moment after moment, direct family portraits, and be everywhere all at once, we were all wowed. Our wedding planner still sings her praises! We couldn't be happier with our photos. They are the single thing people comment over and over about our day. They are art. From sitting in the quiet with me while I happy-cried getting ready, to capturing my husband in his element with his buddies, to the sacred moments of our ceremony, to being in the middle of the party on the dance floor-- Abby really captured it all-- including moments we never even knew were happening. One word for Abby and her work--- UNREAL!
Artistry, professionalism, organization, and timeliness. That’s just scratching the service of what you can expect when you hire Abigail. She is not only an amazing artist who c...
an capture the beauty of your event in great detail but she is an absolute delight to work with as a fellow wedding professional. I had the honor of working with Abigail this September for an amazing couple and I just wanted to high five her all night because she was nailing it. I thanked my couple profusely for finding and hiring her! It was an honor to work with her and I hope to have the opportunity to do so again!
