BLENDING DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING WITH EDITORIAL IMAGERY FOR COUPLES CREATING AN EXPERIENCE INTENTIONALLY DESIGNED AROUND BEAUTY, EMOTION, AND MEANINGFUL DETAILS.
You don’t have to choose between being fully present and having beautiful imagery, you can have both.
Whether that's a colorful garden wedding or saying vows at an Italian villa.
We’ll preserve both the beauty around you and the feeling within it. It's about documenting your wedding day in a way that's artful, emotional, and true to who you are while creating space for you to slow down, soak it all in, and actually live in the moment. That's what I'll help you hold on to.
Sound like your kind of day?
These feelings don't happen by accident. it’s the difference between simply taking photos and preserving the experience.
If you value that, we’ll get along great!
Joyful, Present, & fully yourselves
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll find me road-tripping out west, getting lost in a great book, painting, or hunting down the best local coffee I can find. I dream of van life, live for golden hour hikes, and believe that beauty, adventure, and intentionality can (and should) all exist in the same moment.

I’m all about creating something unforgettable—photos that feel like art, but more importantly, like you. I’ve spent years capturing love in some of the most breathtaking places, from mountain landscapes to coastlines, and there’s nothing I love more than helping couples slow down, soak it all in, and walk away with photos that feel as meaningful as the day itself.
PHOTOGRAPHER, STORYTELLER, AND YOUR GO-TO GIRL FOR CAPTURING LOVE IN A WAY THAT FEELS AUTHENTIC AND ALIVE
Meet Your California + Destination Elopement/Wedding Photographer & World-traveler:
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me chasing inspiration in some form, wandering flower markets, getting lost in a great book, painting, curating Pinterest boards, or hunting down the best local coffee I can find. I love the beach, watching the sunset, slow mornings, fashion, and traveling anywhere I can go.
I’m endlessly inspired by color, atmosphere, texture, art, florals, fashion, and the way intentional details can completely shape how something feels. Those are the same things that naturally shape the way I approach weddings.
Through everything I do, I hope to reflect the goodness of Jesus and serve you as he would!

DOCUMENTARY STORYTELLING THROUGH AN EDITORIAL LENS
Emotionally honest storytelling meets editorial elegance, crafted to feel artful, and guided by movement, natural interactions, and the atmosphere of your wedding day.
Here’s how we get you photos that don’t just look good, they feel good too.
The best photos happen when there’s a natural ease between us. From the moment you book, I’m here to get to know you, whether that’s through texts, planning calls, or connecting before your day. Feeling comfortable with me means you can fully relax in front of the camera, so your photos feel natural, joyful, and true to you.
Friendship comes first:
Your wedding is about living your love story and making it everything you’ve dreamed of. Whether that looks like a colorful garden celebration, a candlelit dinner by the coast, or a weekend surrounded by your favorite people, I want you to be fully present in it while everything you’ve planned and envisioned unfolds around you. Because the best moments are the ones where you’re not just watching them happen, you’re living inside them.
Make space for moments that matter:
I believe the best wedding days flow with intention, not pressure. A well planned timeline gives you the freedom to actually be present with your people, move through your day without feeling rushed, and experience each part of it as it naturally unfolds. My goal is never to take over your schedule, but to work alongside your planner so everything feels smooth, relaxed, and grounded in the moments that matter most.
Intentional timelines, unhurried moments
Years from now, your wedding photos should transport you and allow you to feel every emotion again. They should bring you back into the atmosphere of your wedding day and allow you to see all the details that make you feel like you are right there again. My goal is to capture genuine, timeless images that hold the emotions, memories, and beauty you will want to return to again and again.
Photos that bring you back.
“We don't know where to begin in our experience with Abby. She is BEYOND AMAZING!
An hour felt like 10 minutes because we had so much fun. Sometimes photoshoots can feel like forever but we left thinking 'that was more like a fun date night than a photoshoot.' It was truly so much fun! Abby made the vision come to life plus more! She had amazing communication and was such a calming person. She made us feel comfortable and confident. When we received our photos, we were freaking out because we were in AWE of how amazing!! We could not recommend Abby enough!”

Every detail of your day tells a story and my goal is to capture it all with care, intention, and artistry. From our first conversation to the delivery of your gallery, I focus on creating an experience that feels effortless, warm, and completely yours.
My approach is to stay aware of what’s happening as your day naturally unfolds, stepping in when direction helps and stepping back when moments are unfolding on their own. I guide portraits in a way that feels relaxed and easy, so you’re never left wondering what to do or feeling pulled out of the moment.
At the same time, I’m always paying attention to light, movement, and composition so your images feel intentional without ever feeling staged or overdone. The result is a collection of images that feels like your day as it truly was, elevated, like art and thoughtfully captured without interrupting the flow of it.
The best photos shouldnt take you away from your wedding day, they add to it.
My Approach
How it Works!
YOU DON'T HAVE TO CHOOSE BETWEEN Presence AND Beautiful Photos, YOU WANT BOTH.
You’re dreaming of a wedding day that feels stunning, intentional, and fully lived in. A day where you’re not just experiencing it in real time, but can look back and remember exactly how it felt and everything that made it yours. That’s what I create and document, a wedding experience that feels as good as it looks, and imagery that brings you right back to it every time you see it.
