My first experience in France was soul-wakening and life-changing, and I’ve returned nearly a dozen times to chase that artistic high! Our favorite way to explore the city is with as few plans as possible, and I’ll never turn down a stop for café crèmes, a pain au chocolat, & a bit of people watching

Paris

I love photographing ballerinas as a way to stay inspired & as a reminder of where it all began for me. Whether it's a night at the Kennedy Center or tulle-clad portraits in the city, ballet will forever be my muse!

The longer we’re married, the more I wonder how I managed to trick him into marrying me. I see love through the rose-colored glasses of humble pursuit and ardent admiration, because that is how I came to be loved by him. Seven and half years down, forever to go.

Hello, I'm

and red lipstick makes me invincible

I’m an international wedding photographer, obsessed with documenting joy for the classic, old-school chic couple in love.

Based just outside Washington, DC with my college sweetheart Matt, we’re a husband & wife team committed to enriching & extending the life of any given marriage through the use of photography. I’m the artist, he’s the strategist. I’m the dreamer, he’s the implementer.

I’ve been a wedding photographer for almost 10 years, and have had the joy of shooting across the globe, from Manhattan Beach, California to Chianti, Italy. And yet no matter how many new places I visit, inspiration always hits the hardest when exploring my favorite classic locations in some of the world’s most iconic cities like Manhattan, Paris, London, and DC.

Outside of our lives as business partners, we’re also movie buffs, road trip aficionados, rescue pup parents, and Nationals baseball fans, and on any given Friday night you’ll likely find us on a date (whether that’s out at Ted’s Bulletin or curled up on the couch)!

An Abby Grace Fine Art Series

I'd wanted to be a ballerina for as long as I can remember. When my mother enrolled me in classes, it was a literal dream come true! I danced for several years and that time in the studio left an indelible impact on me. Photographing ballerinas is a means of inspiration and artistic expression; for me, it's the ultimate embodiment of classic femininity.
