The Intimate Wedding Exerience & Pricing
Wisconsin Wedding Photographer
So you've decided the big wedding just isn't for you.
You want a wedding that feels real, not rehearsed.
You’re not interested in a day full of rigid timelines or expectations that don’t fit who you are. Maybe you’re picturing an intimate gathering at a cabin or a backyard dinner with your closest friends and family. No pressure, no performing—just a day you can fully experience.
Whatever it looks like, your wedding should be about what matters most to you. And the best part is you don’t have to figure it all out alone!
A wedding experience you can actually be present for.
I’ll help you make that happen!
You’re not just looking for someone to take photos—you need someone who understands you want a day that feels real.
On your wedding day, I won’t be barking orders or forcing awkward poses. Instead, I’ll document what’s real—how the day unfolds, the little in-between moments, and the way it all feels. Your job? To live it fully. I’ll take care of capturing the moments so you can relive your day exactly as it happened.
I’m here to make this easy for you. Whether it’s guiding you through the planning process or simply being a calm presence on your wedding day, you can count on me to have your back.
Your detail observer, planning guide, and calming presence.
Here’s how I’ll make it easy for you:
- Planning help: You’ll have unlimited access to me throughout the planning process for any questions or advice! With my 8 years of wedding experience, I've picked up plenty of tips and tricks that you can learn from.
- Location scouting: I'll help you find the perfect place for portraits if your wedding space isn't ideal.
- Vendor recommendations: I’ll connect you with trusted vendors who align with your needs.
- Custom timeline: I’ll create a personalized timeline to ensure everything flows smoothly on your wedding day.
- 100+ page wedding guide: Get access to a comprehensive guide that covers everything from planning tips to vendor suggestions.
- Obtaining permits: I’ll handle any necessary permits or permissions for your chosen location, so you don’t have to worry about the paperwork.
- Travel fees included: No hidden costs—your travel fees are covered in the package.
Before your wedding day
- A quiet observer: I’ll document your day naturally, capturing moments as they unfold, without interfering or directing during those quiet emotional moments, and giving you guidance when needed for portraits.
- Polaroid photo album: Before I say goodbye, I'll give you a mini album of polaroid photos I've taken throughout your day that you can flip through right away!
Your wedding day
- Sneak peek within 24 hours: You'll receive a mini gallery of your images within 24 hours of the end of your wedding coverage. There will be a minimum of 25 images and will contain a few photos from each part of your day.
- Full gallery delivery: Your photos will be delivered in a secure online gallery where you can download, share with family and friends, and order prints and albums.

What's Included:
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
I help with finding locations, getting permits, making the timeline, and vendor recommendations, so quite a bit! However I am not a full service wedding planner, so if you'd like someone to fully take the reigns, I can offer suggestions for amazing planners in your area.
Yes, the default plan is split into three payments. The $1,500 retainer is due upon booking, the next payment is due halfway through booking and your wedding day, and the final payment is due 30 days before your wedding date. We can break this down even further into four payments if you prefer.
Guest counts can typically range from 20 to 50-60 people. The answer varies depending on who you ask, but for me, an intimate wedding is anything under 50-60 guests.
Absolutely I do! I love exploring new places. I am local to Central Wisconsin, but I travel all over the U.S. to capture intimate weddings and elopements.
Fill out my contact form and I’ll get back to you with my pricing guide. I prefer to get on a phone or video call with all inquiries to see if we’d be a good fit for each other. To make it official, you’ll sign the contract and pay the retainer to lock in your date.
