Oh "AbiQ" where do I begin. I first fell in love with her work over 10 years ago when she did some breathtaking photos of a friends wedding in beautiful Mendocino. The bride was worried the day would be ruined bc it was overcast and cold. I remember her saying that Abi said it would make for the best pictures. And boy was she right, amazing! Soon after I got engaged and well you can guess who my only option was. I had ONE request! Photographer! I didn't even care about the dress or the shoes or the food and much just wanted to make sure my photos were excellent and that I hired Abi of course. Abi was and continues to be one of the best photographers I know. Her pictures tell a million stories and some are so beautiful you could cry. Aside from her true talent, Abi is a wonderful soul. Her energy is chill, yet dope af and super cool for sure. She's a talented woman! Her eye for beauty is incredible and sure will capture the most beautiful moments. I came in here to write a review. Then realized I had written on 8 years ago! So here's a little update because we love Abi! Oh "AbiQ" where do I begin.

I'm not exaggerating when I say that most people who see our wedding photos tell us they're among the best they have ever seen. Abi's work speaks for itself, but we were particularly pleased with how well Abi adapted to our changing circumstances around the pandemic and the circumstances on the day of our wedding. She has a calming, warm, energetic presence that caused even our most reserved relatives to open up to be beautifully photographed. Anyone who gets a chance to meet or work with Abi is lucky - we are thankful to be among those people! We love our photos and we cry and laugh regularly whenever we look at them; they capture all the magic and emotion of the day, which is exactly what we wanted. It is worth adjusting your wedding budget to make Abi's work a priority - we felt this when we hired her and we now know it to be true even more. Thanks, Abi!!! read more

Abi Q photography - Wedding at Marconi, California in September 2020 - Event Photography Near Me

Abi helped my husband and me take our engagement & wedding photos. She was truly amazing! we love her style and upbeat personality. She thinks outside the box when photographing and captures the moments and subtle details. She's also very easy going, which makes it that much more pleasant to work with when having to juggle countless vendors. We're so happy with the way our photos came out and to have met such a wonderful person. We would recommend her to any soon-to-be newlyweds. read more

Abi Q photography - Event Photography Near Me

If you are looking for a quiet, behind the scenes, serious photographer start looking elsewhere. If you want an INCREDIBLE artist, multi- tasking extraordinaire, new BFF, wedding coordinator, calming force, ray of sunshine than Abi Q Photography is your girl. Photography was something I wanted picked out before I even booked a venue and after months of searching I finally reached out to Abi when I stumbled upon her "about me". Something about her energy (that, yes, I read through the internet) hit me in the gut and I had to book her even though I was still in the works of getting a final date booked for a venue.I trusted it would all work out and it did. Im sitting here writing a review for this woman before even seeing my photos; she's that good. For me, having someone follow me around on my wedding day meant I needed a friend, confidant and a positive force through all the chaos. Abi delivered this, and before you embark on wedding planning you should really consider what goes into the photography side of your wedding. While yes, I want art work on my walls (which duh, look at her portfolio, thats already a shoe in) but you really need to think about the person who will be capturing ALL of the behind the scenes secret, and special moments. You want someone you feel like you have known your whole life, trust me. I cant say it enough Abi is one in a million. She is worth every single penny and more. She was the bridesmaid I didn't know I needed. The girl even sewed me into my dress minutes before I walked down the aisle while all the bridesmaids were sweating about how they had to use a safety pin to keep my dress together. She took over, used some magic and somehow sewed me into the thing. The rest was history. Abi, you are someone I hope to stay connected to forever. I cant wait have some kids so we can get weird and take crazy, amazing, artful, sentimental pictures with my growing family. When I say you are the best, I mean it. In fact I LOVE YOU!!!

I've known and loved Abi Q's photography for years and I was lucky enough to have her photograph my wedding this past September. The thing that Abi does best is that she captures the little moments, the realness. All the snippets of the day that you want to remember and she makes them beautiful. She's an artist with such an great eye. And on top of that, she is an amazing person who will make you feel beautiful on your wedding day. Who wants a photographer who is boring? Abi puts you at ease, makes you laugh and gets you excited for the photos you'll be taking that day. Super highly recommended. :) read more

AbiQ started off as a stranger and is now a friend who my wife speaks to frequently even well after our wedding. Her pictures weren't just "stunning" or "beautiful," they were breathtaking. You can feel and see every emotion in the photos she takes. From our first phone call, she made us feel at ease, like we were talking with someone we knew. At the start of our engagement shoot, I was a bit nervous and felt shy. By the end of the shoot, my wife and I were neck deep in the ocean and having the time of our lives. We already loved her, but when we got the photos from the shoot, we knew we had made the best possible choice ever. During our wedding she was the friend you needed by your side to help though all the feelings, navigating the close family members that drive you crazy, and easing the stress that comes up when things don't go "as planned". You will find her under tables, on the dance floor, or wherever she needs to be to get those "perfect" shots. The ones that make you smile and bring back all those feelings, smells, and happy tears you felt in those moments years later. Also, she captures all the moments you might have missed. She is truly a master with the camera and the most genuine, nice, down to earth person you could meet. She's a professional and you can rest assured she is all that you can ask for in a photographer and as a person. So you can stop looking for photographers now, you have found the one! Can't tell you how great full my wife and I are for the gifts you gave us Abi. Thank you. read more

Brooding. Cohesive. Thoughtful. Detailed. Subtle. Different. These are the words that come to mind when we reflect on the beautiful photos (and bonus slideshow compilations!) that Abi took of our wedding. We had a total of 2 shoots - one at our engagement and one on the big day. From our first introductory call to Abi, we instantly knew that we were going to hire her. She was so helpful, asked so many questions, and we just knew she that she was going to be very engaged...and she was! Super responsive to our many questions, emails, and texts. And she is just such a delight in person - so easy going, so funny, so sweet. We were so happy with the finished product. Our friends and family were so impressed. Authenticity was key to making our wedding successful, and she helped us achieve this! read more

Abi is wonderful to work with. We contacted her pretty last minute for a couples/love shoot in San Francisco. My husband (boyfriend at the time) and I had just started dating after being friends for 15 years, and wanted to discreetly commemorate the occasion for our own enjoyment. She was able to work us in, and got up at the crack of dawn to trudge around the city in the freezing cold. The results were beautiful photographs that hang in our home and make us smiling daily. We love them even more than we love our wedding photos, and hope to work with Abi again in the future as our family grows! She is highly recommended, and I wish we'd been able to have her for her wedding. If you're wavering even slightly, hire Abi! She won't disappoint you, and is such a joy to work with! read more

I contacted Abi a few weeks before my December wedding since I decided last minute to have a photographer. It was one of the best decisions I made for the wedding! Not only does Abi capture raw emotion in each of her shoots, her photos are beautifully candid. Nothing looks posed - it just looks like gorgeous still shots of moments in time. We also LOVED her energy. Abi was fun! It felt like we had a friend, rather than a vendor at our event. We honestly could not have asked for more and highly highly recommend Abi. read more

Highly recommend! Abi was booking appts in Orange County (and these appts book up really fast) and I wanted to get casual portraits of my two daughters. Abi put the girls at ease and caught amazing moments in a short period of time. I loved our photos and couldn't wait to share them with everyone!!! read more

I've worked with Abi Q twice- once on a boudoir shoot I wanted to do for my husband's Christmas present, and then she did a family shoot for us. Let me just say- A-MA-ZING. Abi takes beautiful pictures. My boudoir shoot, which could have been really awkward (we aren't all Victoria Secret models) was so much fun and so comfortable. The pictures were GORGEOUS and I felt gorgeous. And the family pictures were perfect- we shot candids outside and she captured my children perfectly. I get complements on those pictures every time someone new comes over to the house. I only have two regrets when it comes to Abi- 1) She wasn't a photographer when I got married, and 2) I don't have the money to fly her out to Massachussets to keep taking pictures of my family. If you're on the fence about a photographer, trust me, Abi is the one that you want! read more

Abi is the best of the best! I've had the opportunity to work alongside her and also be in front of her camera! She loves what she does and that shines thru her work and the way she cares for her clients! I had the pleasure of having Abi by my side on my wedding day! Every photo I received from her was absolutely gorgeous and truly captured the emotion, spirit, and love in a unique and artistic way! She truly has a gift for making people feel beautiful and comfortable in front of the camera! Aside from her wonderful work, Abi as a person will keep you smiling and laughing all day long! read more

I can not even begin to explain how amazing Abi was from beginning to end. From the moment I met her (actually from the moment I stalked her down on Instagram and emailed her) I knew she was the perfect choice for us! (Not only because her and I already had matching tattoos, or because we planned our engagement shoot before we were technically engaged) She was full fo energy, full of creativity, full of ideas and passion! She gave us the most fun and unique engagement session (which we didn't want so we chose to do a creative "woke up in Vegas..." theme which was the MOST FUN!) She was available on text and email for bouncing ideas and creative planning from booking until day of, and let me tell you, DAY OF she was a ROCKSTAR! She was with me from beginning to end, shooting in the most creative places, literally IN CLOSETS where the light spilled in on the cement floors, flooded over old oak bars and against wooden doors, she placed us in positions and at angles that no one else could have pictured and captured the emotion, depth and importance of every second and every detail. She is a literal photo goddess and one of those kindred souls you only have the chance of encountering a few times in life! read more

See all

Abi took my maternity photos, as well as my family photos and I am obsessed with them. She is talented, easy going, and makes even the most awkward subjects comfortable in front of the camera. I admire that her work always comes from a creative perspective, making her images as unique as they are beautiful. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer. read more

I hired Abi to shoot my rebrand for my new website and seriously, am so beyond IN LOVE with her work. She totally nailed my image and the whole shoot was just SO EASY and effortless! Abi captured my essence like no one else has ever done and I get compliments all the time about my site and I feel her work made my site what it is. Her work is beyond priceless. Not only is she incredibly talented, Abi is so much fun to work with. She got me going and made me laugh and just did her thing with such ease. I can't wait to work with you again, Abi! read more

I can not begin to find words for how amazing this woman is. She shot my engagement session, wedding and delivered photos beyond what I could have imagined. I have never experienced such a high level of professionalism and warmth from a photographer. Whenever I need her again, I would literally be willing to change the date if she was already booked in order to ensure she is there to capture the story. Unbelievable photographer, unbelievable photos. read more

My wife and I hired Abi for our engagement and wedding photos. Abi was so amazing from the time we first communicated with her all the way thru our wedding day. She is so professional yet so easy to be around and fun. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. Abi really has her own style and her photos come out beautiful!! She captures the realness and beauty in all her photos. We get so many compliments about Abi and her work. We are really happy we got to do our engagement session with Abi as well. It was great to meet her and get to know Abi and her style before our wedding day. During our shoots, she always made us laugh and feel super comfortable. She gave us lots of feedback and really made the sessions so much fun and relaxing. If you are looking for a incredibly talented photographer who's work is amazing, and yet is so much fun and relaxing to be around, Abi Q is the BEST! read more

A picture is worth a thousand words- that is all that I kept thinking as I looked at all of the MAGICAL photos Abi captured on our wedding day. Her unique eye and ability to memorialize emotions makes her the one of a kind photographer that she is. Abi is not only incredibly professional, but she is also ridiculously talented and fun. She made my husband and I feel so relaxed and comfortable while shooting such intimate moments, something I would have never imagined considering how camera shy I am. We are so beyond grateful that we connected with Abi, thanks to her we are able to relive that special day over and over again. read more

Abi has a romantic, whimsical style and did an amazing job on our our engagement, rehearsal and wedding photos. Many of the photos she took are like works of art that capture the emotion and movement of the moment. Abi is really sweet to work with and made us feel very comfortable. She has a relaxed, unintrusive manner and allowed things to happen naturally at events so it was like she wasn't even there. She provided us with a ton of edited, high res digitals and a really nice slideshow, which she turned around quickly. I highly recommend her! read more

When we saw Abi's photos we were immediately struck. They are gorgeous and evoke such emotion. They make you feel like you are there watching that beautiful moment. But it wasn't until we met Abi that we knew it was a done deal. She is magnetic. To be honest, she saved me on my wedding day. She captured everything I could have ever dreamed and was some how always there by my side, making me feel so calm. I am not sure what I would have done without her. Meet Abi and you will want to book her. She is the best and worth every penny!!!! We will treasure our photos forever and ever! She even captured INSANE moments of my husband and I dancing that I didn't even know had happened....amazing!!! Love her. So much. read more

Abi was incredible to work with -- from easy booking, to resonable prices and gorgeous looking photos. But, she brings so much more than capturing memories -- she helps you create them. Her excitement was infectious and the same level from our engagement pictures to even our wedding day. She puts you at ease within minutes and makes you feel incredibly comfortable! read more

I cannot recommend Abi Q Photography enough. I had the pleasure of working with her for my wedding last month and was blown away by all the small details she notices. She captured the "traditional" photos and made them look timeless, but above and beyond that she captured the tiniest of snapshot moments that really made the day special. From my father's face walking me down the aisle, to my fiance playing with my hair while he kissed me, to even my brother wiping away a tear during the ceremony -- she caught them all. The photos were all gorgeous and I didn't have to wait forever to see them either! They were available less than a month after my wedding which was an added bonus because I could not wait to see them. I could go on and on, but I think the most special thing about Abi as a photographer is that she makes you feel like the only bride she has ever shot a wedding of -- heightened excitement, giddiness, and comments like "So this is what you look like on your wedding day!" It really helped to meet with her, give her my vision, and then let her run free with creativity and not worry about a thing on my special day. Love love love her! read more

Abi was our wedding photographer- and HANDS DOWN the best wedding photos I have EVER seen (and every person who has seen our photos has said the same thing!). She has incredible vision and a great eye - she truly captures not only images, but the emotions behind an event. She's extremely talented- a true artist. In addition, she was a wonderful addition to our big day and was a big support system for me and my husband during the typical stresses of a wedding day. We loved having her there! Great sense of humor and extremely easygoing personality. I HIGHLY recommend her- you can't find anybody better. Big thank you Abi! read more

I wish I could give Abi more than 5 stars because she deserves it! She is the BEST. She shot our wedding and has sense done a family session with us, and we hope to hire her for another soon now that our son has arrived. What makes Abi different? She truly tells a story with her photos. I never wanted "canned" photos or portrait-type photos for our wedding. Abi is able to see every detail of a scene and somehow capture it visually, and then re-tell it in the MOST STUNNING way. Oh, and she made my house somehow look clean during our family session! ;) What else sets her apart? She's super fun and cool...and is kind and genuine. She will put you at ease and give you some amazing memories to hold on to forever! read more

Her pictures speak for themselves, but speaking for her- Abi is a fabulous photographer who put me at ease from the moment I booked her for the wedding all the way through delivery of the pictures. I happily referred her and will continue to to other brides. Weddings are super stressful and my strategy was to surround myself with genuinely good people and Abi is one of them and her pics are one of a kind! read more

Abi is a truly delightful person. I loved having her around at my wedding, and when she arrived the day of it was just as though one of our friends had shown up and decided to bring her camera. Our wedding was unrehearsed, chaotic, hilarious, poignant, and completely our style - Abi walked into all of this, took a look around, put on a big smile, fit right in and started snapping away. She even helped me fix my hair and minor dress malfunctions... more than a few times. It would not have been the same without her. If you have not seen her photographs, go to her website or instagram and check them out immediately. She is so, unbelievably talented - the work speaks for itself. What I loved most about her shots when I was deciding on a photographer was how each one seemed to evoke the personalities of the couple themselves. Each collection was completely different based on the two individuals getting married, as opposed to the generic checklist of wedding pictures. They are stunning and quirky and no two are the same. I could not recommend her more highly. I wish we still lived in California because we most definitely would use her for any future photography. read more

We first met abi at a friends wedding and right off we noticed how much of a fun photographer she was. At one point we saw abi laying on the floor, she was taking a picture and trying to get the best angle. Once I saw the pictures I was speechless. Abi's photos are just WONDERFUL!!!! We hired abi for our wedding and we just did our engagement pictures. Taking pictures in front of a random crowd can be a bit overwhelming, but abi worked with us. She made our shoot fun and comfortable. I have not heard anything but wonderful comments on our engagement pictures and i cant wait for her to shoot our wedding in June of 2010!! The minute i know someone is engaged i always refer them to abi for their pictures because she truly captures the moment! read more
