documentary style photography

that goes beyond the wedding day

From the very first time we meet, we’re working hard to learn all we can about you + your dream wedding day. Over the course of your engagement, we have a process that allows us to dig deep and truly connect with our couples, which takes the stress off your shoulders, and allows us to show up to your wedding day fully prepared.

what clients are saying

  • From Annemarie:

    Abby is truly the best of the best! She made me & my husband who are camera shy feel so comfortable and captured us in such a beautiful way. My wedding pictures will be treasured for generations and having Abby be the one to shoot them was such a gift. Abby is so talented, she feels like a close friend at the end of the day and is really amazing at capturing every moment. Highly recommend Mountains + Moose for every occasion, you will never regret it.

  • From Lindsey:

    Abby was awesome to work with for both my engagement and wedding photos. She recreated the image that I had in mind perfectly. Her photo edits are beautiful. She always made my husband and I feel comfortable when photographing us. She is reliable and I recommend her 10000%.

  • From Kelly:

    There are not enough words in the english language to describe how beautiful and absolutely perfect Abby’s work is. She made every single dream of mine come true with my wedding photos, and I will spend forever trying to find the words to thank her. She made my entire party/family/guests feel like they were working with a friend, and made me feel like an absolute princess the entire time. She’s a PRO at keeping things running smoothly, keeping everything on time, and being both a professional AND a friend that you feel like you’ve known forever. If you’re looking for a photographer that will accomplish everything you’re looking for, choose Abby. She made my husband and I SO comfortable in front of the camera (and trust me, we are so awkward), and she kept our photos so natural that I never felt posed or uncomfortable. 1000% recommend, you will absolutely not go wrong by choosing her - in fact, consider yourself lucky that you get the opportunity to work with her.

  • from Audrey:

    First and foremost, Abby is an amazing person and we really enjoyed her company. Second, she is a very gifted and extremely talented woman with and eye for photography and aesthetics (I mean just look at these photos). It was very natural working with her, she was very smooth with her process, and she helped our awkward (very introverted) selves look camera worthy with ease. We received our sneak peaks so fast (within 24 hours of the wedding), and the rest of the photos came exactly when she said they would. We are still gawking over them weeks later. I absolutely do not regret prioritizing a talented photographer for our wedding, Abby was absolutely perfect. I do regret not being able to give her 6, 7 stars. Thank you so very much :’)

  • from brianna:

    Michael & I could not have been happier with our choice to use Abby as our photographer. She was nothing but attentive & professional our entire experience; any concerns we had she faced head on & efficiently. Our photos were delivered on time & were exactly what we wanted & expected. We plan to use Abby for all of our future family photos. Thank you so much Abby, we are so incredibly grateful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • From Dilan:

    The best! If you want a photographer you can totally trust to capture your special moments - Abby is the one! The day of our elopement was my first time hiring a photographer and I feel so thankful I found Mountains + Moose Photography. Abby is so talented and makes you and your family beyond comfortable. She moves so effortlessly as she documents your day, you almost don't even realize she is there - making everything feel natural. Our entire family has not stopped talking about how much they loved our photographer and hearing that truly helped make our elopement even better! Don't even bother looking anywhere else because Mountains + Moose Photography is absolutely who you have been looking for to capture life's special moments.
