Photos are a way of telling your unique story. The story of the love you share and the family you've created. The story of walking this life together.
In ten or twenty years, you’ll sit down with your children (or grandchildren) and reminisce over photo albums. Pointing out how young you were or the way your kids used to smile. Remembering the joy of finding out you were pregnant for the very first time. Seeing everyone grow each year in your annual holiday photos. Feeling the pride and love you felt on your tenth wedding anniversary.

Abby is a great photographer, takes beautiful pictures, and is very easy to work with! My husband and I have worked with her on several occasions to take wedding/couples photos as well as photos with our dog for our Christmas card. Abby is very professional & personable. She makes sure to give you exactly what you are looking for & is open to your feedback. I like when photos look natural & reflect a bit of who you are. Abby does a great job at this and cares a lot about people. I recommend her to anyone looking for some quality photos. She is passionate about her work and her photos reflect that.
"Abby is a wonderful photographer. Her photos are beautiful and exhibit the love and care she puts into her editing. I’ve been impressed with the time she puts into scouting out locations as well as the props she brings to keep little ones interested in the process. She has taken my family’s photos for our Christmas cards the last two years as well as shot my son’s first birthday party for us. She’s also done some photos of our extended family that involved multiple families with small children. Abby is fantastic working with small children and incredibly patient. She makes photo shoots fun. She’s also professional and returns your photos to you in a timely manner. I would highly recommend her services!"

My husband and I hired Abby to do our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out amazing! She was wonderful to work with and took such great care of us during the wedding. She braved a really windy day at the beach during our engagement photos, but the photos still turned out beautifully. No better wedding photographer out there than Abby Mae Photo!
You deserve to hold onto your memories. Especially with the people you love the most. From your proposal, to your engagements, to your wedding day, and everything in between and beyond. If you’re ready to take the leap, and if you believe we’d be the perfect fit – reach out and let’s capture your story.
I’m based out of Northern California in the Sacramento area and offer couples photography there. There are no travel fees if you’re within that area. I also offer couples sessions outside of the Sacramento region, with an additional travel fee. =)
(But if you’re in another state and want a couples session, check in with me. If I’m already traveling to your state for another event, I might be able to book your session while I’m there.)
I’m also available for weddings and elopements all throughout California and the Northwest.
Here’s a complete list:
California
Oregon
Washington
Montana
Idaho
Wyoming
Utah
Nevada
Colorado
Arizona
If you don’t see your preferred location listed, simply send me an email. I’d love to see if your dream spot is one we can make work!
I don’t offer photoshoots in downtown Sacramento, Los Angeles, or Las Vegas.
It all depends on your photoshoot. For elopements and weddings, you can expect to get your sneak peek within 48 hours, and your full gallery within 6 - 8 weeks. For couples photography, you can expect a full album in 2 weeks.
Printing photo albums is an invaluable investment. And when you order them through me, it’s one less thing you have to think about — you can sit back, enjoy your honeymoon, and get a beautiful album made for you. Albums will vary in price, from $375-500. This all depends on album size and your desired number of photos.
I require a 50% retainer for weddings , elopements, and couple sessions. This is due at the same time you sign your contract. This blocks out your date on my calendar and I will not book anything else on that day. For weddings and elopements, the remainder of your payment is due two weeks before your wedding day. For hour long sessions, the remainder of your payment is due the day of your session.
Cancellations and rescheduling are available up to 30 days prior to your wedding/elopement. For rescheduling the retainer will be transferred for your new date. For cancellations, all payments besides retainer will be returned.
