Testimonials
What’s it like to have me as your photographer? Hear it from some of the wonderful people I’ve had the pleasure of working with.
I’ve had friends and family say that our personalities were captured perfectly in our photos.
I didn’t hire a wedding planner, but with Abby’s guidance, and expertise I honestly felt like I didn’t need one. We worked back and forth on draft timelines that fit our vision for the day, and I was able to communicate that same timeline to every other vendor. Working with Abby felt like talking to an old friend - she took time to get to know my husband and I, and that is absolutely reflected in our photos. Our wedding was the absolute best day, and it would not have been possible without Abby!

My husband and I can easily say that hiring Abby was the BEST wedding decision we made.
She was so helpful through the entire process from assisting with the timeline to making sure she had our “must have” shot list. She is so easy to work with and FUN! We never thought that one of our favorite parts of our wedding would be portraits but Abby made it so enjoyable. When the final gallery came we were speechless. Every single photo is beautiful and you can tell she paid attention to exactly what we wanted. Basically what I’m trying to say is stop looking - book Abby NOW!!
We will treasure these photos for a lifetime.
My fiancé and I were so pleased with our experience with Abby! The golden hour light was so flattering, the location was beautiful and she was a pleasure to work with. She made us feel comfortable and let us be silly. The end results are amazing! Thank you Abby!!

We cannot thank Abby enough for making our elopement day everything we wanted and more.
We wanted to make sure our wedding day was captured with us being in nature, acting silly, enjoying donuts and shedding tears as we shared private vows. She took all the stress out of it by finding us a perfect mountain spot and coordinating our timeline. She provided so many recommendations for us as we have never been to Colorado before. Our pictures are absolutely incredible and everyone asks if these are even real photos. HIGHLY recommend!!

I can't say enough great things about Abby - her talent speaks for itself, her work ethic is second to none and she makes the overall experience natural and fun!
My wife and I had the pleasure of working with her for our wedding and absolutely LOVED the way that things turned out thanks to Abby's creative eye. I am so incredibly grateful for all that she did to make our wedding amazing.

Saying that she was just our photographer is like saying the earth is just a rock. It is, but it's also so much MORE.
There is no accurate way of expressing how kind, helpful, funny, and wonderful Abby was. She walked us through very step, made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, and was such a huge part of not only the wedding, but the whole planning process. Abby is easy to contact, easy to talk to, and INCREDIBLY TALENTED. There was not one picture that we didn’t absolutely love.

Abby is THE BEST!
We hired Abby to photograph our destination wedding, and the whole experience is top notch. On your wedding day, you spend a lot of time with your photographer and Abby perfectly balances her easy going personality with professionalism. If you are like me and worry about being awkward in your photos, you should hire Abby because she guides your every step of the way. And the pictures? INCREDIBLE! She sent me 100 "preview" pictures a few days after my wedding, and each one was better then the previous. Thank you Abby!
Abby is incredible!
She gives great direction, making photos look and feel natural. She is prompt and sweet and has a great eye for beautiful photos.

Thank you Abby for the amazing experience, and beautiful photos!
Abby is amazing to work with! She responds quickly to questions, and even provided preview photos the day of our wedding! Her excitement and passion only make the photography experience even better. She asks for a list of photos prior and made sure we got all of the shots we wanted, even in the business of the wedding day! She joins in and truly enjoys herself while she is photographing the wedding.

Stop looking and book Abby! She’s one of the most artistic and talented people I’ve ever met.
Our wedding pictures far exceeded our expectations and we’ve had so many people compliment the images and originality of some of the shots. They’re perfect in every way and it wouldn’t have been the same with another photographer. She is the best at what she does!

10/10 would recommend!
Her directions to help us not look awkward in photos was probably the most important.
Abby was amazing! Her attention to fine detail and coaching really gave us amazing wedding photos. From our first phone call, to the engagement session, to all the planning and finally the wedding itself, her knowledge and skillful planning made everything run smoothly. She captured the day beautifully and we wouldn’t ask for a better photographer!
