West Newton, MA
  • Photographer
  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,305

Hey hey! I'm Abby: youngest of four sisters, cat mom, self-certified Malbec connoisseur, lucky wife to a goofy Puerto Rican man named Mike, and most recently the newly-minted mom to our chubby cheeked little one, Nico. I love to meet new people, try delicious new restaurants, dance whenever there is music playing, and I've been known to dabble in karaoke. In 2014 I took a giant leap out of the comfort of my 9-5 to start my business, leaving the world of copywriting and fashion behind to pursue my long-time love of photography. It has truly been one of the best decisions I ever made! I absolutely love what I do!

Awarded Best of Zola
Abby is amazing. She’s easy to communicate with, friendly, and professional. Her work is outstanding and always what is expected. I would recommend her to anyone.

Ergin was absolutely fantastic to work with on my surprise proposal. It was clear early on that Ergin is an expert when it comes to organizing, setup and capturing the moment. He is thorough, detail oriented, and I felt confident from our first messages that I could trust him to come through. He has a very positive light hearted energy that was perfect for the moment. Ergin captured the moment but gave us photos we will have for the rest of our life. I had reached out to a few photographers, but immediately felt lucky that I ended up going with Ergin .

From the moment we first reached out to the Kimpton Marlowe Hotel, Rachel and her team were quick to respond, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable about the venue and wedding planning process. Their communication was top-notch, and they were so patient with us as we worked to finalize the details for our special day. The venue itself is absolutely beautiful - spacious and elegant, with ample room for our guests to mingle and celebrate. Rachel provided excellent suggestions to help execute our vision without changing the core of what we wanted. We were admittedly a bit unprepared at times, but Rachel was there every step of the way to guide us. We highly recommend the Kimpton Marlowe, especially working with Rachel and her wonderful team, to make your wedding day truly unforgettable.

I come from a fashion photography background and now happily spend my time in the beautifully slow world of weddings. After living abroad for many years, I’ve returned to the States. Travel has always been part of my life, whether for fashion or weddings, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

From our engagement photos to our wedding day, Jaffer had us feeling at ease and comfortable. Neither of us likes having our picture taken, but it was very comfortable working with him. Both of our families raved about how fun and easy Jaffer was to work with after the big day, and we loved all of our pictures. Genuinely the most easy-going, fun photographer who has interesting shots planned and will guide you to something that is comfortable and representative of you as a couple or family. Jaffer has incredible listening skills and is everything you would want in a wedding photographer. I would definitely work with him again for other photography needs, and would recommend him to anyone in a heartbeat!
