Hi I’m Abby! been told all my life that I have an artistic flair and a gift for creativity, but that’s not the only reason why I started my career in wedding photography. I’m the biggest romantic and feel things deeply — in my photography there’s no detail in your connection that goes unnoticed. The little winks and smirks that silently set your soul on fire, the quirks that stay hidden to everybody else but you, and the parts of them that somehow make you fall in love with them even more… They’re how I tell stories because I know that in time, those are the things you’ll cherish the most.

Since 2018, I've organically captured intentional connection at weddings. Above all, I want you to walk away from your wedding feeling like you and your new spouse were able to be completely present, immersed in a whirlwind of laughter and dancing and hugs from everyone you love most. Your photos should be a perfect reflection of that. The dream scenario is that you have a wedding photographer who gives off best friend energy and captures the day freely, unreservedly, with all the passion and excitement in the world because photographing love is a genuine pleasure and joy. I have been that person for many and would love to do it for you too.

I’m a wedding photographer who believes the best moments usually happen between the planned ones. My approach is relaxed, candid, and people-first, focusing on real laughs, genuine emotion, and the kind of moments that can’t be recreated. I’ll guide you just enough to keep things comfortable and natural, then step back so you can actually enjoy your day while I quietly tell the story as it unfolds.

We are Nadia & Gunnar. We love being outside. We met during our early years in college on our school swim team and had a few photography classes together. It was through our mutual love of photography that we started dating.  Fast forward 9 years we are now married!!!   We are both passionate with two diverse backgrounds: Nadia in fine art and Gunnar in journalism/documentary film making. When it comes to shooting we feel we are blessed to be able to pursue what we love together. We are all about what’s real; capturing life’s small (and large!) moments.

"Who's that girl, it's Jess!" Hey guys, I'm Jess! I love all things New Girl, The Legend of Zelda, and Broadway Musicals! I like to describe myself as Jessica Day, minus the really talented singing voice, but just overall kind of quirky and nerdy. I love capturing love stories, and fan girling hard core over all things wedding! If you need someone who is going to help you walk through your planning process, I'm your girl! You can also catch me binge eating tacos and ice cream while editing until 3am!

I am a documentary wedding photographer blended with an editorial approach, and I aim to capture those special moments naturally as they unfold. I'm inspired by the genuine affection my clients have towards each other and look to document & craft your wedding photos with a candid eye. I don't want to dictate your day but let you enjoy your day. I may suggest small things like shooting portraits when the light is perfect, such as when the sun is going down, or I'll suggest taking a moment to embrace your partner & remind you to be affectionate on your wedding day. It's how I ensure you get beautiful natural images full of emotion.

For us, it is all about documenting your day as it unfolds. We are believers that the best photographs come from letting everything flow. We don't believe in interrupting special moments to get a safe (posed) photo. On the contrary, we capture all moments: the fun, the crazy, the unexpected. We will get your dad in tears when he sees you in your wedding gown, and will also take your nephew in the middle of a tantrum. All that is part of your story. When you see your photos in 5 years, you will remember how your special day FELT and not only how it looked. You don't have to worry about photos, you just have to enjoy your day at the fullest.

My mission is is to cultivate authenticity and, in turn, create memories in a true-to-life style that best reflects who you are and this life-changing moment by documenting your wedding day. I’m here to celebrate new beginnings, capture the smallest details, and emphasize your individuality.

I’m passionate about helping couples celebrate one of the most meaningful days of their lives with ease, joy, and authenticity. My goal is to create a relaxed, personalized experience while capturing the genuine moments that make your love story unique. From the big emotions to the little details, I'm here to help preserve memories you'll cherish for a lifetime. Every celebration is different, and it's an honor to be part of yours.
