Linda Abbott Photography

San Diego and my wife wanted Linda to travel down from LA. Her photos speak for themselves and fit my wife's desired style perfectly though I was initially skeptical due to the added travel cost. After speaking with Linda she immediately eased those concerns by being both helpful and flexible with various suggestions to meet our budget while accommodating our requests. Communication up to the wedding was easy and she also worked closely with us to scout post ceremony photo locations since she was less familiar with the area. Day of the wedding everything was perfect. We opted for an assistant photographer to capture both bridal party and groomsmen preparations. They arrived before we even started to get ready and their professionalism and experience immediately provided a positive, relaxing influence. My wife commented numerous times how Linda was like an extra sister keeping her calm, not just about photos but also any other issues that popped up. Throughout the wedding they both integrated seamlessly with the proceedings, taking charge when needed and disappearing into the background when not. My wife and I are both generally photo-shy and could not be happier with how the photos turned out. They are incredible. The church, venue, and location were all beautiful to start yet Linda added even more through her creativity and style. Looking back through the photos we are able to see so much personality and detail previously unnoticed while we were caught up in the whirlwind of the day. The photos really are priceless and worth every penny, highly recommended. Thanks Linda!!

knew she was going to give us something special in our photographs. And wow, did she deliver! We met her months before our engagement shoot to plan out ideas and talk about locations. We loved her immediately - it was liking meeting a friend you haven't seen in years but can connect with right away. She had great ideas for our shoot, and was really good about helping us pick a date, especially since we were flying in from Wisconsin. A few days before the shoot, I started to get really nervous about my appearance. I mentioned it in an email to her, and she offered to call me to reassure me. On the day of, she was absolutely fabulous. My husband and I are both camera shy, but she really made us feel comfortable. It was like hanging out with your friend for a day. She really went above and beyond, too! Not only did she location scout the whole day before, but she also stayed closer to four hours than the allotted two! We had a wonderful time with her. By the time the wedding came, I was excited to see her again and already feeling way more comfortable. She and her second shooter were everywhere! They captured the two of us and all of the excitement of the day. She also worked really well with our videographers, who had a very different style than she did. I was worried at first, but she made it a smooth partnership. I can't wait to see the photos from our wedding, and I know we'll see Linda again (a room is always open in our flat in Germany)!

r pictures are much more than just generic poses. When my husband and I look back at our wedding pictures, we remember exactly what we were feeling and living at each captured moment. To capture these moments in such a beautifully artistic way is what makes Linda an amazing photographer. Before we met Linda, my husband and I had never been professionally photographed. We came into our engagement shoot feeling pretty nervous and shy…but Linda’s warmth, humor, and photojournalistic style of photography made the experience so much fun and comfortable! Linda shows a true commitment to her clients that goes above and beyond what is expected of her – even though we never asked her to, she went on her own time to scout the wedding venue so she could get more ideas for the wedding shoot. Very importantly, she’s prompt with responses and works tirelessly to address any concerns. Above all, the finished product she delivered was amazing! One thing is for sure; this definitely won’t be the last time we work with Linda!

The photographs she created went far above just documenting an event. They tell the story of our love and the feelings we had that special day. Aside from having the eye of a poet, Linda's personality is infectious and a joy to be around. She was part of our wedding, not some vendor or employee. It made it so much easier to relax and live in the moment. I look forward to another opportunity to hire Linda. She'll definitely be there for our ten year anniversary and hopefully many occasions beforehand!
