Welcome, I’m Abbe!
documentary style wedding photography
East Coast wedding photographer specializing in vibrant, timeless documentary style wedding photography.
I've always been fascinated by people—the connections they share, the stories they carry, and the relationships that shape their lives.
That curiosity led me from studying psychology to photography school, and eventually into a career in fashion photography. While each chapter looked different, they all shared one thing in common: people.
Today, I have the privilege of documenting one of the most meaningful days in a couple's life. Every wedding is a collection of relationships, emotions, and moments that can never be repeated, and preserving them is something I'll never take for granted.
My hope is to create photographs that become more than beautiful memories. I want them to bring you back to the feeling of the day—to the people who surrounded you, the emotions you experienced, and the moments that made your celebration uniquely yours.
A hand reached for without thinking. A look exchanged across a crowded room. The tears, joy, and quiet moments that often become the memories you'll cherish most.
Today, I have the privilege of documenting celebrations with a blend of authenticity, artistry, and intention—creating timeless imagery that reflects not only how your wedding looked, but how it felt to be there.
Because years from now, I want you to remember more than the details. I want you to remember the feeling of being surrounded by the people you love most, celebrating the beginning of your next chapter together.

Over the years, I've learned that beautiful photographs are only part of the experience.
My goal is to make you feel comfortable, cared for, and completely present on your wedding day. Whether it's helping fine-tune a timeline, keeping family portraits organized, bustling a dress, fixing a boutonniere, or simply offering reassurance when the nerves start to kick in, I'm there for far more than the photographs.
I'm the photographer who will celebrate your wins, answer your texts, and genuinely care about the experience you're having from the moment you inquire until your gallery is delivered.
Being invited into such an important chapter of someone's life is an incredible honor, and building relationships with the people I photograph remains one of the most rewarding parts of what I do. Long after the wedding day is over, my hope is that you'll not only love your photographs, but that you'll remember the experience of creating them just as fondly.

We’re not used to being in front of a professional camera, so I was pleasantly surprised by how natural we looked in our pictures. She really made us feel comfortable and she really captured our love. She knew exactly how to position us and use lighting so everything looked amazing. On top of that, Abbe was great to work with on our wedding day. Her communication and energy were great. She kept everyone on track, gave clear direction, and kept things fun and upbeat. We’re very happy with how everything turned out and would absolutely recommend her.
“Abbe has an incredible eye, and our photos turned out beautiful.”

My Approach
I believe the strongest wedding galleries are built on balance—thoughtfully crafted portraits alongside the moments that could never be recreated.
The portraits tell part of the story. The moments in between tell the rest.
I'll guide you with intention when it's time for portraits, creating images that feel timeless, refined, and natural. Then I'll quietly step back, allowing your celebration to unfold without interruption while documenting the laughter, the embraces, the tears, and the moments that often become the most meaningful.
No two weddings are alike, and I don't believe they should be photographed that way. Every celebration has its own rhythm, its own energy, and its own story to tell. My role is to preserve it honestly, creating a gallery that feels effortless, personal, and true to the people at its heart.
Because years from now, I don't want you to simply remember how your wedding looked. I want you to remember exactly how it felt.
The photographs you'll cherish for decades aren't created by perfect poses alone. They're built on trust, connection, and the confidence to simply be yourselves. By creating a relationship grounded in honest communication, thoughtful guidance, and a little laughter along the way, I help you feel present in every moment—so your photographs reflect not just how your wedding looked, but how it truly felt.
