Abby Schafer Photography
About
Have you ever been so passionate about your job that a piece of you feels missing when you aren’t doing it? Yeah, probably not. Most jobs don’t fill your soul with that kind of happiness and sense of purpose. But for me, my job does exactly that.
Photography is one of the things that defines the person I am, along with being a loyal friend, a movie fanatic, an adventure seeker and a person who doesn’t need a dance floor, or music for that matter, to bust a move!
I’ve been taking pictures since I was six years old and got my pink “Barbie” camera for Christmas. I realized very early on that photography was more than documenting events - it was a passport into people’s lives. And because of that, I don’t see photography as a career. I see it as an opportunity to connect with people by capturing the most important moments in their lives. More than anything I feel a sense of honor and privilege to share in their journey and bring out the best in each person I photograph.

I could not possibly say enough good things about Abby and her second shooter Bianca! Abby gave me so many pointers and advice on many aspects of weddings. Her and Bianca made sure they had a sense of the style that my husband and I liked. Both were professional and punctual, but also incredibly personable. Abby gave us what we asked for and then some. She helped the guys with their cufflinks. She bustled my dress to save time, and helped fix my dress when my bustle broke...and broke again. She captured all the big moments and then some, all the while making sure my husband and I were happy and comfortable. All of my family and friends raved about her. I truly believe there is no better option out there. What Abby and Bianca bring to the table is so, so much more than just pictures.

Abby just recently took our Engagement Photos. We could not be more thrilled with the results! Not only is Abby friendly, and easy to get along with, she makes you feel comfortable from the moment your session begins. We received our finished photos in the time frame Abby promised us (2 weeks! So quick!)
Wedding vendors can be extremely frustrating and hard to get ahold of when needed... Abby could not be more opposite! She ALWAYS responds super quick and gives you the answer/info/suggestions you were asking for! We are so excited to have Abby photograph our Wedding Day!!

We recently had our engagement pictures done with Abby and absolutely LOVE them! She is so easy to work with and communicates very well. She was professional throughout the whole engagement session, but still a blast to be around. She made the pictures fun to take and had awesome creativity. We are SO excited for her to join us on our wedding day!
