“It is not an exaggeration to say that Abbey Moore is the greatest wedding photographer on the planet. As soon as we saw her images, we were captivated and knew we wanted to have her photograph our wedding. We were so excited when we connected and found out she was available. Of course, when we started planning, we had no idea that COVID would force us to change all of our plans. Throughout the re-planning process, Abbey was compassionate, understanding and flexible. She truly felt like an old friend who just happened to be our wedding photographer as well. But that is not to say that she was anything less than professional and polished. Everyone who interacted with her during the wedding commented on how great she was.
Abbey made us feel at ease from our first FaceTime meeting all the way through the wedding day itself. None of the pictures ever felt forced or awkward and she did a great job ensuring that was the case. Abbey was positive and upbeat and made taking pictures just another fun part of our wedding day.
In the end, we knew that the pictures taken at our wedding would be our most significant memories of the day. For that reason, we felt that the photographer was the most important vendor we would hire. Having worked with Abbey, we know we made the right choice. The images she captured are so beautiful and unique, thanks to her great eye and perspective. We can't imagine having had anyone else there to document our day and we are so grateful to have met Abbey and to have had the chance to work with her.”

“Hiring Abbey was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding day this past October. On the big day, Abbey was such a calming presence, which was so lovely. She was understanding to all of our needs, and actually went about her work almost unnoticed at times, really allowing us to just do our thing and be present with our people. She is super cool, and it really felt like we just had a friend hanging out with us all day! Now about the photographs.. she is SO talented. The pictures left us speechless. They beautifully captured the day. It has been amazing being able to relive the day through Abbey's point of view. She had the perfect balance of capturing all of the classic wedding things we wanted photographed, but did an INCREDIBLE job capturing all of the small/in between moments and that really just blew us away. She snapped pictures of moments that would have otherwise gone unnoticed, and for that we are forever grateful. I couldn't recommend her enough!”

“To work with Abbey for our wedding was quite literally a dream come true. I've known of Abbey through her art for many years, and from the moment I found myself on her Instagram feed I knew she'd be the one to photograph my wedding. Fast forward to 2019 when we began dreaming up our plans for the big day, Abbey was one of the first people I contacted. Already positive that I loved her art, her authentic character and genuine kindness from the moment we met in real life, secured the deal for us. Since that meeting, we have had the pleasure in working with her over the past few months for not only our engagement shoot and wedding day, but even an impromptu quarantine FaceTime session to remember 'that one time we almost didn't have a wedding because of global pandemic, but we love each other anyway'. Needless to say, every step of the way, Abbey was in her corner rooting for us. We are so grateful for her.”

“Look, I don't want to oversell here, but Abbey is literally the most amazing photographer on planet Earth. She is also a deeply kind, considerate, gracious, and soulful human being. She shot our wedding this past September and Abbey is so talented -- her eye for beautiful little details and candid moments is so evident in her work. Loved the mix of some direction (so you don't feel like an awkward weirdo the whole time or look like a turtle in every single photo) with a relaxed, easy-going vibe. The result was this crazy combo of photos that somehow felt organic/journalistic/documentary while also still looking so polished and ethereal. Her work at our super intimate wedding truly captured our personalities and felt as joy-filled and light as we did on that day. I have no words to recommend her highly enough. Especially grateful that she was willing to work with us to create a custom package that gave us everything we were hoping for photography-wise while also staying in budget. Simply the BEST.”

“I saw Abbey's work from another wedding and fell in love immediately. Raw emotion and images that were so real. That's what I wanted captured and her work does just that. We loved how she documented and captured our crazy 3 day Indian wedding. I cannot recommend her more highly - we did not get to hang out as much as I would have liked, so I'm hoping for our next set of photos we can change that. She is honest, passionate, talented, and genuine. And in our case, she was wonderfully flexible, fun to hang out with, and open to new challenges (a cultural wedding!). I'm not really sure what more you could ask for in a wedding photojournalist.”

“You would be stupid not to work with Abbey. She is incredibly professional and there is a certain ease to her like she has been your friend for the past 20 years. Abbey worked with us to photograph our "minimony" since we had to postpone till 2021 (bc, pandemic). I could not sing her praises more. She has an uncanny eye and will deliver more than just your traditional, boring, run-of-the-mill-stand-here photos.”

“Abbey is INCREDIBLE. She took family photos for us (a family of 5 adults). My brother has special needs so we had not had family photos taken in 15+ years. We always wanted to avoid the explaining and pressure. I booked photos with Abbey for Christmas for my parents. She came to our childhood home and instantly made everyone feel relaxed and reassured. Abbey understands and appreciates people deeply and it is evident from the moment you meet her. I think this quality in a photographer is so unique. Abbey creates timeless images of moments AND is able to meet people where they are, see them for their unique beauty and capture this. I couldn’t be more thankful that I took the risk on family photos and booked Abbey. They will be cherished for years to come. My advice if you are on the fence about photos, waiting until the renovation is done, losing the weight you’ve been meaning to lose, waiting to get your hair done, etc. Don’t wait. Send Abbey an email and get started. The beauty in the imperfections will surprise you. Her work is special, important and meaningful. There can be so much pressure around photos and I encourage you to reach out and talk to Abbey about her strength of capturing the beauty in the moment right now. That engagement, that family, that senior year, that wedding. She’s talented, kind, and you will not be disappointed. Bottom line 10/10 recommend.”

“My fiancé and I live in NYC and are SO glad we found Abbey!! I wish I could give 10 stars!!! From the minute we started emailing, Abbey was the absolute kindest and most genuine person. My fiancé and I were both kind of nervous about taking engagement photos, but what we ended up with felt like so much more. We had a super fun morning hanging out in some of our favorite spots, being the goofballs we are, and laughing a lot. Abbey captured moments of us being us - we never felt posed or uncomfortable, and were never told to pretend to be anything. The photos we ended up with couldn’t be more “us” and are so special because they reflect our individuality, our togetherness, and are completely unique to who we are. We are so grateful to have worked with Abbey!! She’s a truly talented photographer and also just a treasure of a human being!”

“Abbey was the perfect photographer! We had a small intimate city wedding in Chicago but wanted a photographer who could capture all the special moments- no matter how small. Abbey exceeded all expectations. From The Langham to City Hall- all of our favorite moments and the ones in-between were captured flawlessly. She made us feel comfortable and told us exactly what to do to get the best shots. I would highly recommend Abbey for any occasion. Her journalistic style captures the essence of your big day in best way possible.”
