Ashley and Nate were the absolute best to work with! Leading up to our wedding they did a great job communicating each step. On the day of, we both felt very comfortable! It rarely felt like a photoshoot, just them capturing our wedding. They never interrupted the flow of the day but captured every important moment, intimacy, and emotions of all the moments. Nate took all the getting ready pics of the boys and made them look great! Ashley did everything from help us get dressed to help us film TikTok’s. She was professional, timely, and listened to our inspiration. Before the night was up we had over 100 beautiful pictures in our inbox, ready to share with family and friends.

I started photography in 2017 and after being a part of many weddings, engagements, and family sessions, I still love what I do and I am deeply dedicated to serving my clients. I consider myself a storyteller and love capturing the little details, the half-smiles, and the simple motions. For me, it is about seeing the real, the lovely, and the messy moments, the everyday magic that tells the stories of our lives. Each wedding and session has its own unique story to tell and I challenge myself to capture those stories through my camera as best as I can and would be honored to capture yours too!

Eugene was responsive, flexible, and overall had such an incredible eye. He was super open to my suggestions, but also at the various spots gave great advice and helped us pose in a way that looked natural. I could not be more thrilled with our sneak peak, and all of our friends and family have been blown away with the photos so far. Eugene was excellent at getting candids, the formal, photos, and especially the romantic photos I had saved from pinterest. I spent hours and hours researching photographers as that was most important to me, and I am so glad I went with Eugene. We will be referring him to all our friends who get married nearby!

We're Cohl and Abby, husband and wife photo/video duo! We're your one stop shop for wedding photography and videography! We seriously love our job and we think our work shows it! Your wedding day is immensely important to us, we hold ourselves to a very high standard and deliver only the best!

I hired Abby & Cohl after RAVING recommendations from a friend and what an amazing choice it was. Abby was so friendly and excited when we were only communicating through messages. She was helpful and wonderful in choosing what was right for our wedding. When we met for the first time the day of our engagement photos, my fiancé thought we had already met because of how friendly we were ALREADY. Truthfully, talking to them, it felt like I had known them for years. They plopped us down in the middle of a field and from that came some of the most beautiful photos of my then fiancé and I that I had ever seen. The very next day, we had a gallery with pictures and shortly after came our video from Cohl, which was such a surprise but they work so hard to put out incredible work and quickly. Our wedding day came around and both of them were irreplaceable assets. Not only did Abby unknowingly create the entire schedule for my wedding day, it was like having another bridesmaid with me. It was like having another best friend in the room while I was getting ready, and another family member at the reception. Cohl was so professional and courteous, making sure we knew to “just pretend he wasn’t there” and telling us not to apologize for being in his way. Their vision is clear, they’re artistic and brilliant in the field, they turned my backyard into the moody, romantic photos of my dreams. They love their work as much as they love each other and I am so very sad our time with them is over!
