Central Washington and Destination Wedding Photographer
Hi, I'm Abby! I’m a Wenatchee-based photographer, serving venturesome couples and families with timeless photography that strives to embody each unique connection and personality authentically.
My sweet little family is comprised of me and my hubby Nate + our three young and wild kiddos. Nate & I were introduced from opposite coasts of the U.S. via mutual friends in 2012, and it turns out they were incredible matchmakers. We were crazy about each other from the moment we met and couldn't wait to start our life together.
We said our vows in an intimate ceremony in the mountains of Southern California a year later, and have been chasing our dreams together ever since.
Everything we do is built on these three pillars: our faith in Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior, dedication to serving my husband and children, and being a part of an authentic community dedicated to growing together and pushing each other in the right direction.
"Photography for me is not looking, it’s feeling. If you can’t feel what you’re looking at, then you’re never going to get others to feel anything when they look at your pictures."

MY CLIENTS SAY THE SWEETEST THINGS
I absolutely love Abbygale! We booked her for both our engagement and wedding photography and couldn’t be happier. With family overseas and so many more reasons to want THE BEST photographer that we could get, we were stunned that we were able to find her caliber of work in our area and at our price point.
She is able to capture so many special moments in her photography, and her photo journalistic style of storytelling is unmatched. We knew that with so many outdoor shots, we wanted someone who could capture natural lighting at it’s best and Abby certainly knows how to do it. She is also warm, friendly, and someone who has a genuine heart for people and her craft. She has won us over and we wish her all the best as we follow her blog posts now as avid fans of her work. If you are looking for a sweet, instinctive, and life changing photographer to work with, please pick Abby. She’s truly a joy to meet!

Abby is lovely! My fiancé and I are quite nervous around the camera, and she is as gentle and mild-mannered as can be.
I honestly felt like such a pain, asking so much about locations, requests on posting certain photos, etc. and she remained as understanding as ever. Our photos were *so* beautiful and warm! She has an eye for naturally gorgeous color and lighting.
- Shannon & matthew
Abbygale is absolutely amazing! Not only is her photography spectacular, she is the most caring vendor you will ever meet.
You will be more than happy with Abbygale’s work!
She made my wedding perfect!

FULL WEDDING DAY COVERAGE
The Abbygale Marie Wedding Experience is so much more than a business transaction. I get to know each couple on a personal level and I love being a part of their wedding planning process!
I love serving couples with an unparalleled wedding photography experience. My mission is to leave every newlywed couple with some of their first family heirlooms - fine art legacy albums and stunning archival wall art that will be admired for generations. It all starts with a phone call...!

SEE ALL THE ALBUM DETAILS
There is a reason I include an album in every wedding collection - your beautiful wedding images are not meant to stay hidden on a digital device for no one to see! I have chosen artisan-crafted, professionally designed linen albums as the most important product to home your wedding memories. These aren’t the same albums your parents wedding photos came in.
They’re modern, lay perfectly flat, look incredible on coffee tables, and come in a variety of gorgeous linen colors to suit every decor style. Albums typically take
between 4 to 6 weeks to complete and include two rounds of revision.

WEDDING ALBUMS
When you are planning your wedding, you think very carefully about each and every person you will be inviting (or not inviting, ha!) You spend time collecting their addresses, choosing beautiful invitations, and sometimes even hand lettering each and every envelope! When it comes time for your wedding day, having something meaningful to commemorate their presence at your wedding celebration with a meaningful and unique guest sign-in - The Abbygale Marie Guestbook.
This heirloom linen album is a beauty and bestseller at my studio! Using photos from our engagement session, I create a custom album just for you. Artful arrangements of your favorite photos are paired with prompts for your guests to write a response to. Some are funny, some are thoughtful, some are practical. I love when couples think of their own questions to add to this album, too! You even have your choice of an array of beautiful linen cover colors to suit every taste and decor style.
After your wedding you can flip through the pages and enjoy your guest’s responses to the prompts, and it is now a part of your family for a lifetime. The artisans I have chosen for these albums are dedicated to their craft of heirloom album making and guarantee it’s longevity for decades. You can rest assured that you have made a good investment in this beautiful and meaningful album. **Starting at $395

YOUR WEDDING HEIRLOOMS
WALL ART
GALLERIES
I view the walls of a home as a gallery space that tells a family's story. I love walking into someone's home and seeing photos of their life experiences - places they have travelled, their first photos together as a couple, their engagement photos, wedding photos, honeymoon photos, photos with their best friends, etc. Besides albums, wall art galleries are a top seller in my studio because of their daily presence in your home - you walk by these meaningful photos every day and think of the memories in the photos.
I love the process of helping clients design wall art for their home! First, I have them walk around their home and think of what spaces need a personal touch - an empty wall in the hallway, a sparse shelf or tabletop, above the sofa, etc. I even have them take a photo of those areas and email the photos from their phone so I can get an idea of what kind of space needs filled, and what kind of wall art would fit the space perfectly. When you first receive your photos, I will send some custom design ideas with your photos to help you envision what kind of gallery and frame sizes you'll need for your home. This often times takes SO much stress out of the decision-making process, when you can look at a mock-up of the frames and envision them in your home.
Wall art galleries start at 395 and are custom finished with a signed certificate of authenticity from Abbygale Marie Photography.
A Wedding USB Drive comes loaded with your full gallery of hi-resolution, professionally edited wedding images, as well as a printable print release form. This all comes neatly packaged in a keepsake linen box. I always recommend backing up your images on multiple drives/devices, as technologies change rapidly and sometimes become obsolete (hello, floppy disks and cassette tapes!)
