Abbey Moore has been carrying a camera since high school, instinctively drawn to documenting life as it unfolded around her. She went on to study photojournalism in college, originally intending to work for news outlets. But after unexpectedly photographing a wedding, she found her true calling. Fifteen years later, she’s still honored to witness and preserve the joy, beauty, and spontaneity of wedding days.

Abbey believes no two weddings are the same—and that’s what keeps her inspired. She’s drawn to the history, tradition, and love each couple brings, aiming to create photographs that feel like no one else’s. Her approach is rooted in presence over perfection: letting go of expectations and embracing the unexpected. A photographer she admires once said, “Instead of trying to get every beat, just get the heartbeats.” That sentiment has shaped the way she works—leaving space for real moments to unfold naturally.

At home in Grand Rapids, Abbey is most often found chasing after her one-year-old son with her husband by her side. When she finds a quiet moment, she loves quilting—a craft passed down by her mom and grandmother. Becoming a parent has only deepened her appreciation for how fleeting time can be, and how powerful photographs are in helping us remember it. Abbey is endlessly grateful to spend her life documenting love stories and creating heirlooms that will last for generations.
