The Wedding Investment

Wedding photography for the moments that matter

Your wedding day is not content. It is meant to be full of intent and purpose that shows who you are.

I approach wedding days with a true mix of hands off, true to life, and childlike wonder. I want you to experience your day with the knowledge that it will be photographed with care, without hurry, and with a space where you and your partner can feel confident and like yourselves without pressure.

The approach

It feels like being observed by a friend, where you can be yourselves and just be together.

You never have to perform for my camera. I don’t want you to. I may guide you through prompts and an occasional still pose, but for the most part, I am there to observe you, your partner, and your joy.

I want your photographs to feel like you’re looking in a mirror, seeing yourselves as you are.

I’ll be there to photograph the human experience as it happens. The hugs, the tears, the laughter, the people you love, and all the moments in between.

You never have to perform for my camera

No two weddings are the same

No two weddings are the same, and no two wedding packages are either. All wedding packages are fully customizable and shaped around your wants and needs.

From intimate celebrations close to home to full destination weekends across the world, my goal is to create an experience that gives you the freedom to be fully present while I document every moment with care and intention.

Wedding collections begin at $4,500 for North Carolina, $6,500 for United States destinations outside of North Carolina, and $8,500 for international celebrations, with all travel included.

Most couples invest between $5,600 and $7,500+ for a fully customized experience.

“Abbey, we don’t have words to describe how incredible these photos are, it felt like we just relived the whole day!!! Literally everything about them is perfect. We went through all the emotions all over again just looking at all the photos.

And the super 8 film is so so so magical!!! I had high expectations because I’m obsessed with your other super 8s but OMG it makes me feel so special! Thank you for being a part of our day, not only as our photographer/videographer but as a planner confidant and friend!”
