Her story is not just about capturing images; it's about encapsulating emotions, experiences, and, above all, authentic human stories!
Enter the world of Abigail, a maestro of wedding photography in New York. Abigail started her journey more than twelve years ago, seizing every opportunity as a new canvas to document her clients' most profound moments. "Each wedding," Abigail mused, "is a unique narrative waiting to be told. My work is to create a safe space that allows me to capture both the planned and the unplanned."
As an artist with a background in fine arts and design, Abigail has mastered the craft of merging documentary and editorial aesthetics. Her work, celebrated in legendary publications worldwide, is a testament to this unique style. She elaborated, "My approach is intentional, focused on creating meaningful images that become richer with time."
Abigail's toolbox is a fascinating mix of the classic and the contemporary. She works with an array of film and digital cameras, each with a distinct personality that adds to her work's overall charm. Speaking about her equipment, Abigail said, "Each camera has its own personality. Both film + digital cameras, with a combination of legacy vintage cameras and top-of-the-line, new mirrorless cameras, I use them all."
When it comes to post-processing, Abigail's approach is equally meticulous. Each image she captures undergoes a range of treatments, from minor tweaks to extensive Photoshop work. However, she is a firm believer in the 'less is more' philosophy. Abigail shared her perspective, "Typically, less is indeed more. But it still translates into 50-80+ hours of post-work on each wedding."
Abigail's philosophy emphasizes understanding each client's unique needs. Whether it's a local wedding or a destination one, she ensures to create a custom package that meets their specific requirements. "No two clients are the same," she stated firmly.
In conclusion, Abigail is more than just a photographer. She's a storyteller, an artist, and a true companion to her clients, dedicated to capturing their most significant moments in the most authentic way possible.
