We know that you want to relish your day, not just survive it. 

Weddings can be daunting, so we will keep things simple. We’ll start by getting to know your story. Then we’ll put our proven process into motion to tell your story in a beautiful and natural way.

 Wedding days fly by and the best parts can often get lost in all the chaos and stress of planning and executing those plans.

Leave your day feeling more in love than when it started.

 As your photographers, we spend more time with you than anyone else on your wedding day. Crazy, huh?
 But that is why we find it important, no, NECESSARY, to step in and make sure that you pause and enjoy this day for which you’ve planned and prepared.

We will help you craft a timeline that fits your exact needs. We will take the lead and make sure you, and everyone else, is exactly where they need to be when they need to be there. We will adapt and adjust when the inevitable surprises happen on your day (adaptability is one of our main strengths!). And you will experience your day full of laughter, feeling comfortable and relaxed, cherishing each sweet detail, and savoring every moment with the love of your life.

Enter Abby & Brandon (that’s us!)

our signature experience

Nothing makes the day go smoother than having a timeline that actually works for your day. That’s right, YOUR day. We know what it takes to create a story through photos, but we will tailor it perfectly to the details you’ve planned for your beautiful day.

Crafting a timeline

We step in on your wedding day to create a buffer between you and the crazy of the day. We are with you every step of the way, making sure you get where you need to be and have fun doing it!

Leading the day

Throughout the day, we will remind you to pause and breathe. Do you feel the way your arms are wrapped around one another right now? Can you hear the sound of your guests celebrating you? Savoring these moments will help you remember more from your day than you could have imagined.

savoring the moments

Applying makeup, buttoning dresses, putting in veils, pinning on boutonnieres, pouring wine, bustling the gown, the list could go on and on. There’s little we haven’t stepped in to do at a wedding so just know, we’ve got this day covered. We’ll take care of you.

stepping in

After everything you’ve put into planning your day, you should be the ones who get to enjoy it the most. 

You are planning for a marriage, not just a wedding. 
You’re a crazy-in-love couple who wants to enjoy their day, not just make it through.
You like to laugh loudly and you aren’t afraid to express your love for one another.

we're perfect for you if...

 Kicking off your life together deserves a major celebration and we are all about those sweet little details and delicious treats for your guests. But at the end of it all, your marriage, your rings, and your wedding photographs are what you will have to carry you into the years of your life together. You are going to make sure all three are solid choices.

A marriage, rings, and photographs

Abby & Brandon are AMAZING photographers, so full of life & energy! It’s hard to put into words how incredible these two are! Honestly. They are so talented in so many ways within capturing moments yet making us feel so cared for & loved. I remember on our wedding day - our wedding party and family made comments to us how fun our photographers were & made it seem so easy and natural! They made our wedding day flow so smoothly!! They are so experienced and helpful! After having Abby & Brandon for our engagement photos, to our wedding day, to maternity pictures - they have come to feel like our family. We love them so much! They made us feel special from day one when we sat down for coffee & they listened to our story, laughing along, asking all these questions to get to know us. It was so natural, easy to connect, the conversation was so fun! I highly recommend them for any of your life moments - for together, Abby & Brandon will make it so memorable & special beyond the lens!

We felt so comfortable with Abby & Brandon, they were so helpful and knowledgeable even beyond photography. I was stressed while getting ready but they were so patient with me, plus they kept us on schedule, directing people in what to do and where to go while keeping the photo time fun and relaxing. We recommend them to everyone!

We loved having Abby and Brandon photograph our special day. They have such a great sense of humor and kept the energy up during group photos. They were great at directing large groups to get everyone in the right place at the right time, which I know is not an easy task! My husband really dislikes having his picture taken, but Abby and Brandon made the process so fun even for him.

There are two of you, will you both be at my wedding?

YES! We are passionate about your images being more than just a dusty digital collection hiding in the storerooms of the cloud. Let’s get you an heirloom that you can share for generations.

Do you offer printed products like albums, canvases, and small prints?

  Just because we love prints doesn’t mean we don’t also see the value in digital images and the FUN of sharing some of your greatest moments with your online friends. So, YES! You will get your digital images INCLUDED with your album. The digital images will be presented in a beautiful, pinterest-style gallery that can be shared with family and friends. Images are easy to download and you can even add your very own app to your phone for easy access.

Will we get our digital images?

Aww stop. Just kidding, don’t stop. 
We are just a couple of extroverts who will deeply care about you. We don’t care to stay on surface level and when you dive deep with people, you can’t help but love them. We know it might seem sort of cutesy and fun to say we’re gonna be good friends at the end, but we aren’t joking around. We develop close, even deep, relationships with many of our brides and grooms and continue to call them friends even after the business side of things is over.

Why are you guys so awesome?

All of our booking is done online. We’ll kick it off with a Zoom double date and get you all the info you need to make an informed decision. Fill out the contact form below to get started! We can’t wait to meet you :)
