the wedding experience
my philosophy
A thoughtful approach to telling your story
My philosophy is simple: pay attention, move gently, and let the story lead.
I believe the best photographs come from allowing people to be fully themselves - not directing every moment, but knowing when to step in and when to step back.
I approach each story with intention and calm, creating space for things to unfold naturally while offering gentle, editorial guidance. The result is imagery that feels honest, emotional, and lived-in. The kind of photographs that grow more meaningful with time. My work is rooted in trust, presence, and care, so beginning by getting to know what matters most in your story is where it all starts.

Pricing at a glance
Most couples planning a full wedding day with a traditional flow of events typically invest between $8,000 and $13,000 for photography, depending on coverage, scale, and overall vision.
More intimate celebrations that can be thoughtfully documented by a single photographer often fall into a lower range, while city hall ceremonies, elopements, and couples' sessions are offered with their own tailored structures.
Every proposal is designed around the rhythm of your celebration, the people involved, the pacing of the day, and what matters most to you. Each package, bespoke to you.
A few helpful things to know
📍 I’m based between Boston and The Berkshires, and have lots of family in NYC. So, travel within these areas is almost always included.
✈️ Destination celebrations, both domestic and international, are welcomed (so very welcomed!!) and quoted based on location and scope.
🤍 Accessible pricing is available on a limited case by case basis. I would love to learn more about your celebration and the story behind it.
FULL DAY COVERAGE
What does this mean?
Full day coverage is built around the flow of your wedding rather than a strict hourly structure. In practice, this often means 9-12 hours, with the flexibility to stay present through the moments that matter most an no strict timing restrictions.
The goal is simple: to give the day room to breathe and the story room to unfold.
All wedding packages include:
• A photography experience shaped around you and what matters most.
• Film Photography - 35 mm + 120
• An Engagement Experience - so we can get to know each other with the camera involved, before your big celebration.
• A fully edited, downloadable gallery and print license, with a highlight gallery.
• Guidance around timelines and trusted vendor recommendations throughout the planning process.

"Abigail has such a gift for making everyone feel comfortable and at ease, which allowed her to capture every moment so naturally and beautifully. From the big, emotional highlights to the little in-between moments with our guests, she caught it all with such care and artistry..."
Testimonials
Brooke + Ryan
"We really enjoyed [Abigail's] outgoing personality and that was ultimately our deciding factor... [we] have never taken professional photos together prior to our engagement and Abigail made it very comfortable and easy. Abigail did an INCREDIBLE job capturing our destination wedding. She is a confident photographer and knew what was best whenever we needed recommendations."
Testimonials
Jordan + Chris
"On the day of our wedding, [Abigail] and her 2nd somehow managed to be in 10 places at once, capturing the most perfect shots of getting ready, first looks, the ceremony, and hilariously incredible dancing shots at the reception. We even snuck away for some sunset photos, which ended up being my absolute favorite! We are so grateful for Abigail and can't wait to start putting together our wedding album!"
Testimonials
Alec + Rebecca
"Abigail approached photographing our wedding with so much intentionality and thoughtfulness. She went above and beyond -- talking to us about our vision, what matters to us, and helped make the entire weekend go so smoothly...the photos are UNREAL. AND she can shoot beautifully on film!
One story to just show how thoughtful Abigail is...my brother is medically complex + struggles to pose for photos. She brought a portable speaker and played all of his favorite songs... he grinned from ear to ear in every single photo. We're so grateful!"

FAQ
How do we know how much coverage we need?
That’s something we’ll decide together., with your planner too, if you have one. After learning about your plans and priorities, I’ll guide coverage recommendations that support the natural flow of your day without feeling rushed or excessive.
What happens if there's bad weather?
If the weather is mild, we adapt and embrace it. Overcast skies and light rain can be incredibly romantic. If conditions are more extreme, we pivot thoughtfully, often using beautiful indoor light and staying flexible if a window opens up.
What if we want to add and additional photographer later on?
The best time to decide is usually 3–4 months before your wedding. At that point, your plans and guest count are often more defined, and I’m happy to offer guidance on whether a second photographer would meaningfully support your day.
Are the travel expenses included in your packages or covered additionally?
Travel within Boston, The Berkshires and often New York City is included. For weddings outside of those areas, travel is quoted based on based on your unique location and scope and outlined clearly in your proposal.
Can we add time on the wedding day if needed?
In many cases, yes.
If the day is unfolding in a way that calls for a bit more coverage, we can talk through extending coverage as things progress. The goal is never to rush meaningful moments.
One of the advantages of full wedding day coverage is you don't have to worry about if things run behind.
What about rehearsals or welcome parties?
If your celebration includes additional events, like a rehearsal dinner, welcome gathering, cultural celebration or even a post-wedding brunch, photography coverage can be added to document those moments as part of the larger story.
These are often some of the most relaxed and personal moments of the weekend. They offer a chance to get to know your guests and help everyone feel more at ease with the camera before the wedding day itself.
Coverage for these events typically begins at a three-hour minimum and pairs naturally with full weekend coverage for couples interested in documenting the experience more fully.
