"She went above and beyond - from helping with special permits and researching the area, helping with timelines and providing ideas,"

Wow, wow, wow. Choosing Abby as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions we made. She has an incredible eye for capturing moments that feel so genuine and meaningful. Every time we look at our photos, we’re brought right back to the emotions of that day. Abby captured everything from the quiet, intimate moments to the big, joyful celebrations so beautifully. She was incredibly organized, professional, and calm, which helped us be able to enjoy the day and not stress about getting the perfect pictures (and wrangle our families). Abby’s passion for her work and her couples shine through, and she went above and beyond to make sure she didn’t miss a single detail. Our family and friends have all been raving about the stunning photos, and we couldn’t be more grateful to have these memories preserved so beautifully. For a day that you plan for years and that flies by in the blink of an eye, I can not recommend investing in your photographer enough. We feel so lucky to have worked with her and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone to perfectly capture one of the biggest days of your life. You will not regret it :)

10/10!!! I can not recommend/thank Abigail Traver Photography enough. Abigail's photos are not only stunning but she is so easy to work with. I felt like my husband and I were going to be awkward/uncomfortable in front of a camera. But those feelings instantly went away with Abigail. All the photos are so natural and show true emotion. Do not hesitate to book!

"Abby is absolutely incredible!!! We couldn’t have picked a better photographer to capture our special day. She focused heavily on the authenticity of our love and we’ve never felt more comfortable to work with someone like her. We are in absolute awe of all of her work. Although the day went by fast, we will always have the most perfect pictures to look back on and reminisce. 1000% recommend Abby!!!"

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How much of the planning do you help with?

I help with finding locations, getting permits, making the timeline, offer suggestions for activities, vendor recommendations, and logistical details. So quite a bit! I'm here to make your elopement planning as easy breezy as possible.

CAN WE BRING GUESTS?

Absolutely! I recommend keeping it under 10-15 people. Once you start inviting more people, it will not have as much of an intimate feel, and logistics will be more difficult to navigate with parking, your ceremony location, etc...

HOW MANY HOURS DO WE NEED?

My clients typically book 8 hours to capture their full day of adventure, 12+ to capture their multi day experience. I offer packages starting at 4 hours, but I recommend at least 8 hours to have a full elopement experience. 

WHAT IF THE WEATHER IS BAD?

So long as the weather isn't dangerous, I encourage you to embrace your day as it is. Rainy elopement days are such a vibe, just go with it! If we absolutely need to reschedule your day due to dangerous weather, we can. There will be no fee for rescheduling due to weather.

WHAT IF WE WANT TO ELOPE OUTSIDE OF WI?

Let's do it! I travel all over the US to document adventurous elopements. Travel will be built into your package, so there will be no added travel fees.
