I'm Abigail (She/Her)! I'm so happy to virtually meet you! I love podcasts, all things NASA, my signature orange sunglasses, and iced caramel coffee year-round. When I'm not filming or editing, I perform concerts in my shower and make plans to travel (everywhere and anywhere).

I've been filming weddings for six years, and have been in love with filmmaking since high school. Telling love stories and creating lasting relationships with my clientfriends is what it's all about.

Beyond crafting a beautiful wedding video, I specialize in two things - education and connection.

In prioritizing education, I can help my couples find the best fit for them. I don't want to sell you anything you don't want or need, and I want my pricing to be available and transparent. In addition to videography, I want you to feel ready to take on your big day. I've created a resource for Abidoodle couples with tons of tips, tricks, and recommended vendors to help your wedding planning process go as smoothly as possible.

When you hire me to capture your big day, you're not just hiring a videographer. I want to be just one step away from a friend, who will come to the rescue by catching falling floral arrangements, ushering away unwanted attention, grabbing drinks during family pictures, and making sure your veil doesn't fly away. I'm here for YOU before, on, and after your wedding day. I am proud to serve as your right hand woman, who also happens to be wielding a camera. If you're investing in me, trust that I'll be investing in you, too.
