The Experience

From stained glass windows to taco trucks, beauty is everywhere. And it's here, too.

I deliver breathtaking photographs that are true to your day while ensuring you feel taken care of and in the loop every step of the way

Maybe you’re hoping to tie the knot in the same church where your grandparents said their vows half a century ago. Maybe you’re dreaming of magnolia centerpieces because there was a magnolia tree outside your childhood bedroom window. Maybe you’re getting napkins embossed with your dogs' faces on them. No matter how sentimental or silly, you’re choosing each detail with care. That’s why I work to document each one with intentionality, in that candid-meets-classic style you adore. 


With a client experience refined across nearly two decades,

BOOK YOUR EXPERIENCE

Oh my goodness—where do I even begin?! Abigail was my absolute favorite vendor. She took every small detail and moment, and made sure it was captured with such quality and thoughtfulness. She put a special and unique touch on everything, and she has such a great eye for color, angles, and lighting in her photos. Not only is Abigail super talented, but she is so kind, energetic, and confident. She absolutely knows what she is doing, and I trusted her a thousand percent with photographing every part of our wedding day.

THE PROCESS

Next 

 To begin the journey, simply send your inquiry with details on your love story and the celebration you’re planning. I’ll be back in touch in 24 hours or less with a link to schedule your consultation.


01. SEND YOUR INQUIRY

Next, let’s hop on a call to discuss how we can bring your unique vision to life! I’ll help you choose the perfect collection for your day, and customize it to match the celebration you have planned…and the photos you can’t wait to hang in your home!

02. CRAFT YOUR COLLECTION

After our call, I’ll send a custom proposal your way so you can review your options. If you’re ready to book, a simple signed agreement and paid retainer will save your date! 


03. review your proposal

Your magical love story isn’t going to begin on your wedding day, so your photography coverage shouldn’t start then, either! So, let’s document your engagement as soon as possible. And don’t worry—I’ll guide you through every step of the way. 


04. document your love story

Bridal and boudoir sessions are a great way to get beautiful gifts for your fiancé, practice your hair and makeup, and have some fun in front of the camera before the pressure’s on. A few months before your wedding, we can add on these special sessions for some “you” time, just with a camera. 

05. ENJOY SOME "YOU" TIME

 Your wedding day timeline is an intricate balance between just enough portrait time that we document every moment and not so much that you feel like your celebration has turned into a photoshoot. With nearly two decades of experience creating balanced photo timelines for brides, I cannot wait to create yours alongside your planner.


06. PERFECT YOUR TIMELINE

One week before your wedding day, I’ll reach out to make sure we didn’t miss a detail and that everything is ready to go! I’ll share my last-minute tips and ensure you have everything you need to feel amazing leading up to your day. 


07. CHECK ALL THE DETAILS

When your wedding day arrives, you’ll be full of nerves, excitement, and what-ifs. All you need to do on this day is to fully enter into every moment, and I’ll be busy capturing it all! You can experience every second of the day without worry. I’ve got it covered!

08. LET THE MAGIC HAPPEN

Within a week after your wedding day, you’ll receive a preview gallery of some of your best images. Then, in eight weeks or less, your full gallery will arrive! So pour a glass of prosecco and relive every special moment as a newly married couple!


09. RELIVE EVERY MOMENT

Now that your gallery has arrived, it’s time to preserve the memories for you and your family to look back on for years to come. I’ll help you design your album, so your first heirloom of your new family will be preserved in beauty that stands the test of time.


10. PRESERVE THE MAGIC

When it’s time to add a third, you know where to find me! I offer maternity and newborn portraits, so as your photography needs change, let’s get in touch.

Having Abigail as our wedding photographer made our day seamless, and I was at complete ease knowing she would take care of everything we discussed prior. I am not a natural behind the camera, but she still captured the most beautiful moments and guided us through the process to make us feel comfortable and at ease while she was photographing!

QUESTIONS

Frequently asked

What does a second photographer do?


You know how they say “I can’t be in two places at once?” Well, with a second photographer, I can! When I’m capturing you and your bridesmaids singing along to Taylor Swift while getting ready, he’ll capture what the boys are up to…and ensure their boutonnieres are pinned on just right. A second photographer also gives you reaction shots and multiple angles on those unmissable moments, like your grand entrance, the first kiss, and more! 


Will I make it to my cocktail hour?


If finishing up photos and getting to the cocktail hour to see friends and family is your goal, then that is my goal, too! I’ll work with you to plan a timeline that ensures you get back in time. We’ll work together to craft a timeline that ensures you get all the photographs without sacrificing experiences on your big day.


What mix of photos do you provide?


I love the drama and intimacy of black-and-white, the nostalgia and timelessness of film, and the vibrancy and brilliance of full color. So, I provide a mix of all three in my galleries! Most of your gallery will be in color, with some specific shots in black and white or film.


How do you feel about dog-friendly ceremonies?


I love them! Bring your pets to your engagement session, too, while you’re at it! If you need a little more breathing room in a timeline to accommodate a pup, I’ll help you plan that out. 

I’m having a traditional church wedding. How do you photograph the ceremony?


I love photographing traditional church ceremonies just as much as any other ceremony! I’m an expert in low-light situations and at using the moody shadows from stained glass windows to create artwork that will stand out in your gallery.


I’m having a laid-back wedding but want my photos to still look elegant. Is that possible?


I believe that no matter the type of celebration you’re planning, your day can be documented in beautiful elegance! The signature Abigail Malone Photography style will be applied to all your images, no matter the location. 


What if I have questions throughout the process?

I’m always just a text message away, so reach out to me at any time with any and all questions. I’m here to ease your worries and make your special day—not to mention all the weeks and months leading up to it—as smooth as possible. I know how important this day is, so don’t hesitate to ask anything! 


She took our engagement and wedding pictures as well as pictures of our two-year-old daughter, pregnancy announcements, my sister’s pregnancy pictures, and family pictures. She's AWESOME! The pictures are always terrific, and she's great to work with.
