Hey, hey! I’m Abi!
I’m an LGBTQ destination wedding and elopement photographer (not just an LGBTQ-friendly photographer - I’m actually queer!). I’m based in Minneapolis (moving to Philly in ‘25!), but work with queer people and our allies across the country to create images that are cinematic and emotive while still feeling joyful, candid, and full-of-life.
Whether we work together for a wedding, elopement, proposal, or portrait session: my work is rooted in playfulness and sense of adventure without sacrificing accessibility, inclusion, or respect for the landscape we work in.
When you book with me, you get more than just photos. You get an unforgettable opportunity to reflect on what makes you YOU through in-depth questionnaires, customized style and location guides, and a whole lotta belly laughs once we finally meet in person! At least for the day we’re together, you get a storyteller, a cheerleader, and a new friend who’s on your side.
If all that has you saying “Wait, that’s exactly what I’ve been looking for!!!” I definitely want to hear from you. I really can’t wait to meet you.
Love,
your new photog friend
(I use she/her pronouns!)
joyful, celebratory & affirming photography experiences for EVERYBODY…
My background in both landscape and street photography has influenced my approach to be storytelling & documentary, while also rooted in the environment. However, I recognize that so many marginalized people have felt excluded from or struggled to find space in the outdoor community.
You are welcome here. You don’t have to be thin/white/non-disabled (you fill in the blank with whatever “but” is holding you back) to find joy in the environment.

cozy, nostalgic, &
genuine images for
thoughtful souls.
In this corner of the internet, we’re all about centering joy through genuine connection and un-staged, un-stuffy, considerate storytelling.
You deserve to live in photos that make your love story look and feel magical (because it is) without the anxiety of posing for them.
I would be so thrilled to work with you to craft a photography experience that feels effortless, fun, and most of all… like you.
we’ll hit it off if you…
…are queer or an LGBTQ+ ally.If you don't embrace the LGBTQ+ community, I'm not the photographer for you.
I’m queer myself and will work tirelessly to capture you as YOU in the most affirming way possible.
…thrive at the intersection of homebody and outdoor enthusiast.
I'll follow you on whatever adventure your love takes you on, whether it's paddleboarding on the lake, hiking a mountain then flying kites on the beach, or getting cozy for pizza and dance parties in your living room.
…love candid & playful photos.If you want to ditch the rigid poses and get more candid photos that are rooted in your story instead of an imaginary shot list, then I'd love to chat more! Let's connect via email or the form below!
Mac & Shane:
"We couldn’t have asked for a better, more personable, fun and friendly experience from a photographer...She’s extraordinarily skilled and was so great to work with!"
Sara & Dominic:
She is such a warm spirit, who made us feel instantly comfortable. I love how authentic we were during the shoot, and we really got to be ourselves! She came geared up for rain or shine, and was on the adventure with us!
“A f*cking rockstar and a beacon of calm support and guidance in the midst of the inevitable frenzy and mayhem of all of our wedding tour adventures.”
