At Abby Carissimo Photography, I offer a thoughtfully curated range of services—from full wedding weekends to quiet moments at home—capturing each with the same care, warmth, and attention to detail. Whether we’re documenting your vows, your newborn’s first days, or the way light moves through your kitchen, my approach stays the same: honest, artful, and deeply personal.

What I’m known for:
Heartfelt storytelling
Every frame is rooted in feeling—honest, tender, and true to you. I photograph moments the way they actually felt, not just how they looked.
Intentional Craft
From carefully blending film and digital to curating final galleries with care, my work is slow, considered, and crafted to become a lasting heirloom.
Grounded Connection
I’m more than a vendor—I’m a steady presence on your most meaningful days. I bring calm, warmth, and a deep belief that your story matters.

How it works
Consultation
01
Every story starts with a conversation. We'll hop on a call or exchange thoughtful emails to make sure we're the right fit. I’ll answer any questions, learn more about what matters most to you, and help you choose the session or package that feels just right.
Planning
02
Once you’re booked, I’ll guide you through the planning process—from location suggestions to outfit tips and how to make the most of your time. Whether it’s a cozy morning at home or a golden hour walk in the woods, we’ll design a session that feels like you.
Photo Session
03
This is the part where we slow down and let real life unfold. I’ll gently guide you when needed, but mostly I’ll step back and document the natural magic: the laughter, the quiet, the connection. Afterward, your images are carefully edited and delivered as an heirloom-worthy gallery—ready to be kept, shared, and passed down.
Ready to slow down and savor the season you’re in?
Whether you’re planning a wedding, welcoming a baby, or just want to remember this chapter—I'd be honored to tell your story.
