I don’t want every wedding I photograph to look like the one before it. That philosophy carries through to even the smallest details.

There’s something incredibly beautiful about the individuality woven into every wedding day. The pieces you’ve so thoughtfully chosen to be part of your celebration carry little reflections of who you are, the things you hold close, and the life you’ve created together. Whether their significance is known to everyone in the room or understood only by the two of you, each one has a place in your story that deserves to be preserved with care.

When I’m photographing your details, I’m not looking to recreate something I’ve seen before. I want to understand what makes these things yours, to notice the beauty that already exists within them, and to let that guide the way I photograph them. I want the images to feel thoughtfully composed without losing the personality and meaning behind the things you’ve chosen.

There’s a difference between creating something beautiful and creating something that feels deeply personal. My hope is always to do both, allowing my own creativity to meet the intention you’ve poured into your day.

Your wedding was never meant to be a reflection of anyone else’s love story, and I don’t believe your photographs should be either.

I would be so honored to tell your story in a way that feels entirely your own 💍

Somewhere between “yes” and “I do,” there’s a whole lot of life happening during your engagement. You’re still coming home to each other at the end of the day, only now there’s a wedding on the calendar. And as much as you’re looking forward to it, I hope you get to slow down enough to enjoy being here, too. This part of your life deserves to be remembered for more than the day it was leading up to.

That’s something I love about engagement sessions. For a little while, there’s nothing you need to figure out or decide. You get to spend time with the person you’re extraordinarily excited to marry, and I get to create and capture photographs that will someday remind you what all that anticipation felt like.

When you book your wedding with me, a complimentary engagement session is my gift to you! 💍 It gives us a chance to get comfortable together long before the big day, so when I arrive at your wedding, you already know the person behind the camera!

Imagine being able to visit the place you said “I do” just by stepping outside.

That’s what gets me about backyard weddings. You give a setting in your everyday life a meaning it will carry for years.

Niisa + Noah exchanged vows beneath the trees, holding hands as their people watched them become husband and wife. Looking at these photographs, I keep thinking about how that patch of ground now holds a piece of their story.

Long after the aisle is cleared, they can stand beneath those branches and remember what it felt like. Someone might glance out the window on an ordinary afternoon and picture Niisa + Noah’s smiles as they looked into one another’s eyes.

I think there’s something deeply romantic about that. A moment that changes your life becoming part of the view.

Photographing a celebration like theirs feels like being invited into someone’s world. The house in the background belongs to the story, too. Someday, these images will bring them back to how it all felt, right there in a place they can return to.

If you’re planning a wedding somewhere that holds great meaning to you, I’d be honored to capture what unfolds there. Head to the link in my bio, click the “contact” tab on my website, and fill out an inquiry form!

Here’s to a little corner of home holding a lifetime of meaning 🌿

The people who just watched you get married finally get to wrap their arms around you.

And sometimes, their faces say as much as the vows did.

Watching Stephanie greet her guests after the ceremony, I loved how her happiness was met with just as much excitement from everyone around her. Before one hug was over, someone else was already waiting to pull her close.

There’s something so moving about seeing the people you love be this happy for you. Getting married is such a personal thing, but for these few minutes, everyone gets to share in that “just married” feeling.

These are the moments I want you to have photographs of. So you can remember how it felt to be held by your people, and see the smiles you might have missed over your shoulder.

There’s so much love worth remembering here 🖤

If “just married” were a feeling, it would look like this.

Jada + Matthew made cutting a heart-shaped cake look effortlessly cool. The direct flash gave these photos that slightly nostalgic, found-in-an-old-album feeling, and I can’t get over the personalized forks they used for their first bite!

It was only a few minutes of their wedding night, but I’m so glad we have the whole scene to look back on.

You’re not really choosing wedding photos for the version of you that exists right now.

In the days, weeks, and months after your wedding, you can still remember exactly how it felt. The memories are fresh enough that it’s hard to imagine ever needing a photograph to bring you back to any of it.

But someday, you will.

Years from now, you’ll look through these photographs with so much more life behind you than you have today. The people looking back at you will still be you, just at the very beginning of a marriage that you now know by heart.

And I think that’s one of the most incredible things about wedding photography.

The photographs stay the same, but what they mean to you never will.

A wedding photograph doesn’t stay frozen in meaning just because it’s frozen in time. Something you love today might be something you treasure for an entirely different reason thirty years from now. A photograph that simply feels like “us” right now might someday become one of your favorite ways to remember who you were when your marriage was brand new.

Because eventually, these stop being photographs from your wedding day and start becoming pieces of your history together.

Mikyla + Matthew are living this chapter right now, and there’s something so special about knowing these photographs will still be waiting for them long after this season of their lives has passed.

That’s what I want to create for every couple who trusts me with their wedding day. Photographs you’re obsessed with now, absolutely — but even more importantly, photographs that become more valuable to you with every bit of life that happens after them.

If that’s what you want your wedding photographs to become, I would absolutely love to create them with you. Head to the link in my bio, click the “contact” tab on my website, and fill out an inquiry form!

Give yourself something your future selves will be so grateful you kept 💍

Your wedding portraits don’t have to end when the sun goes down 🌙

Some of my favorites happen after it does.

Toward the end of the night, I love stealing my couples away from the reception for literally five minutes and letting flash completely change the way their wedding day looks through my camera.

Direct flash can make an ordinary corner feel editorial. It brings out texture and detail, freezes movement, and gives photographs that nostalgic, paparazzi-esque feeling that somehow feels both incredibly modern and like it could have been pulled from an old photo album.

And that’s exactly why I don’t want every photograph in your gallery to look the same.

I want the soft light, the romantic portraits, the blurry movement, the completely unprompted moments, the photographs that feel quiet and intimate… and then I want a handful of images that feel like this.

Flash brings an entirely new energy into your gallery. It feels playful and effortlessly cool, with an editorial edge that sets these portraits apart from everything we captured earlier in the day.

Kalli + Shane gave me five minutes toward the end of their wedding night, and that was all we needed. We wandered around their venue, stopped by the pinball machines, played with posing, and let the flash transform little pockets of their reception space. Nothing elaborate or overly planned — just the two of them, my flash, and a few minutes to create.

Adding variety to your wedding gallery doesn’t have to mean carving another hour out of your timeline. Sometimes it’s five minutes away from the dance floor to create something that stands apart from the rest.

So yes, when I ask if I can steal you away for five minutes before the night is over… this is why ✨

If you’re dreaming of a wedding gallery that feels like you while still giving you a little bit of everything, I would absolutely love to create it with you! Head to the link in my bio, click the “contact” tab on my website, and fill out an inquiry form!

Let’s make some wedding photos that feel worthy of their own magazine spread 💍

There is something about female friendship that feels like its own language.

It holds so much of who we are. There is a kind of knowing that comes from growing alongside other women, from witnessing each other become and change and somehow continuing to recognize one another through all of it.

I think there’s something especially tender about carrying that kind of love into your wedding day.

Because somewhere along the way, girlhood becomes womanhood without us really noticing it happen. The girls you once wondered about the future with are suddenly standing beside you while you live a piece of the future you used to imagine.

There’s something surreal about that.

To be stepping into an entirely new chapter of your life while surrounded by women who hold pieces of so many chapters that came before it. Women who know where you’ve been, who know the person underneath all of the growing up, and who get to witness you becoming someone’s wife without loving you any differently than they did before.

That’s what I see when I look at these photographs of Niisa and her girls.

Girlhood, still very much alive. Just a little older now.

And maybe that’s one of the sweetest things about female friendship. We don’t have to stay the same to keep belonging to each other.

Your wedding day is filled with more than one kind of love worth remembering. If you want photographs that hold onto all of it, head to the link in my bio, click the “contact” tab on my website, and fill out an inquiry form!

Here’s to the women we get to grow up with, and who are there to celebrate some of the very best days of our lives 🤍

There are a whole lot more of you here than the last time I introduced myself, so hi!! I’m Abby — the girl behind the camera, your biggest cheerleader, personal hype girl, and someone who cannot believe I get to call this my life.

You’ll usually find me photographing weddings, couples, and seniors. Fargo, ND is home, but I’m happy for an excuse to pack my camera bag and go somewhere new!

Whether you’ve been here for years, trusted me with your story, or found my corner of the internet, it’s time you got to know me better.

My heart in this career has never just been in creating photographs. I want to document what being you, right now, feels like.

The beautiful chaos of a wedding day. The way your person looks at you when you forget I’m watching. Standing on the edge of graduation with your entire life ahead of you.

No matter what I’m photographing, my goal is the same: I want you to live it while I make sure you never have to forget it.

And please don’t think you need to know what you’re doing in front of my camera. That’s my job! I’ll direct you, hype you up, and give you permission to just be. Then, you’ll forget we’re taking pictures — and that’s when the magic happens.

Maybe I care so deeply about preserving life because mine changed overnight at 19 when I was diagnosed with brain tumors. After a 17-hour brain surgery, hearing loss, facial paralysis, radiation, and continuing to live with residual tumors, I learned how precious an ordinary life is.

Photography became my unexpected second chance. Preserving pieces of your life because I was given the opportunity to keep living mine is something I’ll never take for granted.

Outside of photography, I’m a stephen king fanatic, record collector, concert-goer, former competitive dancer + theater kid, dr. pepper devotee, wife, and dog mom to my golden retriever, Clifford.

If you’re new here, I’m so happy you found me. And if you’ve been here awhile, I’m so happy you stayed 🖤

The best family photos happen somewhere between the poses.

I’ll guide you throughout your entire session. You never have to show up knowing what to do or worrying about whether you’re going to look awkward. That part is my job!

But the posing is really just where we start.

Because then your baby does something that makes you laugh. You stop thinking about where your hands are. You look at each other instead of looking at me. Eventually, you forget about the camera for a second, and that’s when everything starts to feel real.

I don’t just want to photograph what your family looks like. I want to photograph what loving each other feels like!

Years from now, I want these photos to bring you right back to who you all were together in this exact season. Not just how small your baby was, but how it felt to be their whole entire world.

So please don’t wait for the “perfect” time to take the family photos. This version of your family is already worth remembering, because “this little” never lasts nearly long enough.
