She was home for winter break from JMU when she first spotted him. They were at a bar where Jeff was waiting to meet someone else, and as the minutes dragged on and the acquaintance never showed, Tracy helped fill the time as they were introduced and got to chatting. At the end of the
Kathleen doesn't strike me as the type to get teary about many things. But I love how wedding days are always, always the exception to that kind of rule. She was fine- calm and collected- until she looked at her mom, right after the wedding dress went on. And then again, as she walked into

He kept running through all of his lists in his head, sure there was something he'd missed. They'd spent so long planning this day and now that it was finally here, there was an overwhelming sense of anticipation. So many hours, days, weeks had been poured into making their wedding day one that reflected them
The way he treasures her- it's inspiring. How he holds her gently and loves her fiercely, how every time he looks at her his entire face lights up. They they thrive in each other's presence, growing together, learning together, loving together. How she blushes when he kisses he with abandon, how proud she is to
I think 2013 is my year. Both of my best friends are engaged and planning weddings for next May, meaning I've had the chance to photograph the engagements of my two favorite girlfriends! Photographing people close to me is so different- on the one hand, it's easier because I've known Sarah since freshman year of
After a long few months (mostly) off from shooting, my wedding & engagement season kicked off last week. And Jason & Lindsay were the PERFECT engagement session to get things started! The cherry blossoms had just started to reach full bloom over near the Capitol building, and though the morning chill was palpable, their session
One of the first things Kylie told me that day was "we're both really, really awkward in front of the camera." I love it when my couples say that kind of thing at the beginning of a session- my response is always "challenge ACCEPTED." Because honestly, looking through their images, have you ever seen any
Has there ever been this much laughter on a wedding day before? I doubt it. Jacob & Courtney are fun enough on their own, but when you added in their best friends and closest family, it was a day of joy from beginning to end. The phrase I kept hearing over and over was "He
From the first few minutes of their engagement session, I learned just how much these two love to laugh. Whether that's with each other, at themselves, anything, it seems like they're always in the midst of having a good time whenever they're together! And when you bring two people together along with their best friends and closest
This is one of the most personal weddings I'll ever post here. Meg, my cousin, childhood confidant, fellow lover of Pixi Sticks, and the maid of honor at my own wedding, married her high school sweetheart William, and I could not be more thrilled for the two of them! Watching Meg with William, it was
You know that feeling when you get an urge to go out and do something... amazing? Inspiring? Creative? I NEEDED that feeling. So I put it out on the interwebs that I was looking for a couple who'd be willing to get back into their wedding attire and traipse around with me for an hour
The whole adventure started with a text from my good friend (and personal wedding photographer) Terra of Terra Dawn Photography and went a little something like this: "Hey Abby, what are you doing September 22-26?" "I don't know, why?" "Want to second shoot for me in Aruba?" "OH. HECK. YES." And then Terra and I
I knew the answer, but I didn’t want to hear it. “No. Not this season. Not yet.” So I tried to twist God’s arm a little. Present him with a list of reasons why my plan was better. Manipulate. Did he see the stress and worry our family experienced? Did he care? When that approach
Head over heels for these amazing images by ABBY GRACE PHOTOGRAPHY of this stunning wedding with KELLEY CANNON EVENTS at Women in the Arts! Such a dreamy day! And our favorite part was the 22 foot head table arrangement raised up along the stunning mirrored table! So chic and lovely!
