Let me bring you back to the heart of what weddings were truly meant to be. The why. Here's a hint: it’s not for the guests, and it’s certainly not about the production—it’s about the sacred covenant between you and your love.

I want to honor you.

This day is yours. Not your mother-in-law’s. Not your guests’. YOURS. In a world full of expectations and traditions that tell you how your wedding should look, you deserve an elopement experience rooted in the true meaning of marriage—celebrating the commitment between you and your partner. I’m here to make that happen with intentionality and care, ensuring every moment reflects the significance of your vows.

you value authenticity over tradition...

I’m fueled by my faith in God, my rockstar husband, and our fluffy sidekick, Mowgli. I’m all about helping couples reclaim their wedding day, stripping away the chaos and expectations to focus on what really matters—a celebration of your covenant love.

Why does this mean so much to me? Because my own wedding day didn’t quite turn out the way I dreamed. Family drama cast a shadow over a day that should have been pure joy. Honestly, I wish we had eloped. That experience lit a fire in me to make sure no couple has to feel the way I did.

That’s why I’m here—to create space for you to embrace the most meaningful, intentional, and joy-filled day of your life. Let’s make it magical, your way. 

I'M ABBY

CONNECT WITH ME

a look into my head and heart

These four pillars are the foundation of my business—the values that shape how I serve you with my whole heart. While they are deeply rooted in my personal faith, you don’t have to share my beliefs for me to give you my absolute best. My commitment to these principles drives me to create with excellence, care for you with integrity, and honor your story with intention.

excellency

integrity

love

As a Believer, I strive to do everything with integrity and excellence, keeping my focus on a greater purpose. In a world where cutting corners has become the norm, I want to stand apart—not for my own gain, but to genuinely love and serve others well. True excellence is found in valuing and uplifting the lives of those around us. This belief is rooted in 1 Corinthians 10:31, which reminds me to do all things for the glory of God.

I’ll admit—I’m naturally competitive and have wrestled with tying my identity to success. But being aware of this pushes me to approach my work with intentionality and humility. My goal isn’t just to sell you a service; it’s to give my best and build a genuine connection along the way. I don’t fear competition because my focus is on integrity, fairness, and serving my clients well. This perspective is shaped by my faith, reminding me that my worth isn’t found in success but in something greater.

The greatest commandment is to love—because Christ Himself is love. My love for God naturally overflows into the way I care for others, including you. Rooted in Matthew 22:37-40, this calling shapes how I approach every interaction—with intention, kindness, and a genuine desire to honor your story.

creativity

Photography is such a beautiful gift—an opportunity to capture creation and preserve moments for a lifetime. As someone made in the image of God, I believe He has no boundaries for creativity, and there will always be new perspectives to explore. This is where my love for storytelling comes in. I want to dive deep into who you are, your story, and the layers that make you unique. My hope is to showcase the beauty and value He has placed in your life, reflecting the intentionality behind it all.

From start to finish (and beyond), Abby was absolutely amazing—10 out of 10, highly recommended!

We started out trying to plan our wedding on our own and quickly realized we were in over our heads with our busy schedules. We needed help. As photography enthusiasts, we searched for someone who could blend artistry with elopement expertise—and that search led us to Abby. We instantly loved her photography style and knew we wanted our day captured through her beautiful, creative lens (we were not disappointed!).

Abby’s online platform made communication effortless from the very beginning. She went above and beyond in our initial and follow-up meetings to truly understand our vision, then carefully curated a list of stunning natural locations for our ceremony. Her detailed presentation helped us choose the perfect spot, and once we’d decided, she created another thorough plan—complete with logistics, packing lists, contingency plans, and a sample timeline. Her attention to detail was evident at every step. Abby even visited the site in the days leading up to the wedding to scout ideal photo locations and assess lighting conditions so that everything would be perfect.

On the wedding day, Abby did everything possible to make sure things flowed smoothly so we could simply enjoy the moment. Our plan was logistically intense (including a 30-minute canoe ride to our ceremony site), but Abby handled it all with calm professionalism and genuine excitement. Thanks to her, what could have been a stressful day turned into a magical experience in a breathtaking place.

After the wedding, Abby quickly delivered a generous “sneak peek” gallery, and we were blown away. The photos captured every ounce of magic and emotion from that night. When the full gallery arrived—organized beautifully on an easy-to-use platform with easy access to prints and keepsakes—we were beyond thrilled.

Above all, beyond her incredible skill as both a planner and photographer, Abby is simply a wonderful person. Her work is guided by authenticity, creativity, and a deep sense of purpose. It was clear to us that her Faith and genuine care for her couples shape everything she does. Abby didn’t just document our wedding—she honored our story, our love, and the spirit of the day.

We couldn’t have asked for a better person to make our elopement truly unforgettable. Thank you, Abby, for everything! - Zac + Nat

From the moment we met sweet Abby, it was clear she was going to be so much more than our photographer. She was truly a blessing to us and to our family. She didn't just capture our elopement. She carried it. She took all the stress out of our day by planning everything for us with such care, intention, and calm. Every detail was thoughtfully handled, allowing us to be fully present and actually enjoy our elopement instead of worrying about timelines or logistics. Her guidance brought so much peace to the day. She went above and beyond in every way possible, from photographing our elopement to creating beautiful Super 8 films that capture the emotion and movement of the day so perfectly. As if that wasn't enough, she invited us to Telluride for a second day of photos, which felt incredibly generous and meaningful. That extra time allowed us to relax even more and created memories we will cherish forever. What stood out the most is how naturally she fit into our family. She was not just someone with a camera. She felt like part of us. She brought warmth, joy, guidance, and genuine care into every moment. By the end of it all, we didn't just gain stunning photos and films. We gained a lifelong friend. We are endlessly grateful for her, her talent, and the way she poured herself into our experience. If you are considering her, know that you are getting far more than photography. You are getting someone who truly loves what she does and the people she serves. -Kenny & Daria

Abby is wonderful she made us feel so comfortable and we couldn’t stop laughing! I’m a very self conscious person and I have never felt more beautiful than I did when I saw our photos for the first time! -Joe & Kassi

Abby is literally the sweetest ever!!! We immediately felt so comfortable with her. She made the photoshoot so fun, not awkward at all. We love that when it started to rain she was willing to make the best of it. The photos turned out absolutely dreamy! Something straight out of a book. I will forever cherish the time we had and pictures we received! -Zeke & Ashton

Abby is absolutely amazing!! She took both our engagement photos and wedding photos and surpassed my expectations with both. She captured our special day so perfectly; we love getting to relive our wedding day through her photos. She captured the behind the scenes, each and every detail, the big moments and the small intimate moments. Abby not only took the most amazing photos, she also helped our day run smoothly by organizing everyone for photos and keeping us on time. Abby will forever be our go to photographer in the future. -Devin & Shae

I'll help you find the perfect location that makes you feel small

Together, we craft a timeline that's uniquely you

Organically creating images that tell your love story forever

There’s something magical about standing in a place so vast that it takes your breath away—a place where the mountains stretch endlessly, the forests whisper, and the sky feels infinite. I’ll help you find that spot. Whether it’s a secluded alpine lake, a rugged desert canyon, or a misty cliffside, we’ll choose a location that not only reflects your love but also reminds you just how incredible this world—and this moment—is.

Your day should feel like you—unrushed, intentional, and filled with moments that matter.

I’ll guide you through every step, making sure there’s time to soak it all in while capturing the moments you’ll never want to forget.

The best moments aren’t staged—they unfold naturally, in the in-between glances, the wind in your hair, the laughter echoing through the mountains. My approach is all about capturing the real, unfiltered beauty of your love story. No stiff poses, no forced smiles—just you, fully present in the adventure of your wedding day. These images will be more than just photos; they’ll be timeless reminders of how it felt to be there, together.
