Hi, I’m Abby!
I’ve been a photographer in Floyd VA for 10 years now, and specialize in capturing real and authentic moments! I’m obsessed with film and anything that sparks nostalgia.
Movement, laughs, chill bumps, a muddy wedding dress, windy hair, barefoot kids, dancing, chasing, exploring and flower picking - some of the things that I love in a photo that nudge true emotions and reactions to life!
I’m an embracing chaos, outfit changes in the middle of the woods, skipping under the early moon, running into the sun, goofing about, and the quiet hugs kind of photographer.
Photos from the heart of all the milestones of your life among the Blue Ridge Mountains. Photos that make you feel how it was and capture exactly who you are.

My Wedding Photography
The fly on the wall sees it all….
Your wedding day is a big deal, and how you envision it is so important me. I’m not here to make your wedding a trend, or convince you to change anything you have your heart set on. I’m here to document these moments exactly how they are, true to the moment and authentically, perfectly, you. My approach is to watch and notice and freeze the real stuff. Never fear nonetheless, if you’re worried about needing instruction, I am here to gently nudge those real moments to life as well!
Your Photos are a Keepsake, Not Just a Download
A digital gallery is wonderful and an important backup to have— but there's something about holding your wedding photos in your hands that hits your heart.
Every wedding package includes an engraved wooden USB delivered in a keepsake box with some printed 4×6 photos that I love. It's not an add-on, it's not an upsell — it's just part of what you get.
Something tangible to hold and see and feel, to pull out on anniversaries or at family gatherings. The kind of thing that sits on a shelf close by and means more every single year that goes by.
Because your wedding day deserves more than to live in a folder on your computer or phone.
Complimentary timeline assistance
Wedding day timelines are one of those things that seem simple until you actually sit down to do them LOL Trying to pack too much in, not allowing for enough downtime for the real moments to happen naturally, golden hour missed by fifteen minutes — it adds up fast.
Before your wedding day, I'll work with you to build out a timeline that actually makes sense for your venue, your lighting, and the moments that matter most to you.
No guesswork, no showing up and hoping for the best. We figure it out together ahead of time so that when the day comes, you can just be there — present, unhurried, soaking it all in.
The couples I work with consistently tell me this is one of the most underrated parts of the whole experience. Less stress on the day isn't an accident. It's planned for.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Yes, and honestly — please ask! I love getting out and exploring new places. Whether you're getting married down the road or somewhere that requires a flight, reach out and I'll put together a travel quote for you. I’m always down for an adventure!
-
Always. Every wedding I photograph includes a second shooter — no exceptions. It is crucial for the important moments, like while I'm capturing you coming down the aisle, someone else is getting your partner's face in that moment too. Moments like this are why a second shooter is a must and included in every package. Ceremony and reception, covered from every angle, without anything slipping through the cracks.
-
Editing takes time, and rushing it isn't something I'm willing to do — that's where your photos go from good to wow. Turnaround for weddings is typically around 8 weeks. I will get you some sneak peeks within a week or two though, so you don’t have to wait for the entire gallery to get done before you see some photos!
-
Absolutely. I'm always happy to break a wedding package into payments. Just reach out and we will map out a payment plan that fits your budget.
-
Every package includes complimentary timeline consultation, a second shooter, private online gallery, and the engraved wooden USB delivered in a keepsake box after the gallery is complete. Please note that opting out of any of these DOES NOT change the price of your package.
