Many of my couples get married in bucket list locations, in front of views that are undeniably stunning. But the most powerful part of your photos and film will always be you.
It’s in the quiet, fleeting moments—the way you instinctively reach for each other’s hands as the wind picks up, the tears gently brushed away during your first look, the laughter as the ocean rushes over your feet. These are the moments that make your story truly unforgettable, and capturing them is what inspires me most.
A reminder that the magic of the moment is in your love
Your wedding day isn’t a checklist—it’s a collection of real, unscripted moments, and I’m here to document it as it naturally unfolds. I’ll guide you when needed—finding the best light, offering prompts that feel effortless—but above all, I want you to be fully present, making your film that much more organic and raw.
But my role goes beyond capturing your story. I’m here to help bring your vision to life—whether that means scouting the perfect location, recommending local vendors, finding dreamy lodging, crafting a seamless timeline, booking unforgettable excursions, or navigating permits. I want this to be a stress-free, exciting experience from start to finish.
That’s why building a real connection matters. The more we get to know each other, the more you’ll feel at ease, allowing those raw, unfiltered moments to unfold naturally. So let’s go on a hike, grab late-night Taco Bell, FaceTime about your vision, send TikToks back and forth—let’s create something incredible together and build a friendship that lasts long after the wedding day.
My approach behind documenting your love story
I'll be your planner, photographer, and filmmaker <3
You value forming genuine relationships with the vendors you have chosen for your big day
You want your day to be documented authentically and organically - to be guided but not produced
You want photos + videos that will transport you back to how those moments felt
You are choosing to get married in a way that is completely authentic to you as a couple

Travel fees are not included in my packages. You can expect me to add the direct costs of travel to your package as I book my flights, lodging, rental car, etc. After shooting in 10+ countries and all over the US, I’ve gotten quite familiar with booking reliable transportation at the best rates. I’m also super familiar with permit + work visa processes, and can help guide you through location scouting, ceremony permits, and more for your big day.
100%. At the time of booking you will pay a $1,000 deposit; the remainder of your payment isn’t due until the wedding day, but you can totally pay in smaller chunks leading up to your date if that works better for ya! Most of my couples do custom payment plans with me.
Yes! I offer joint packages for elopements as a solo shooter, and joint packages with second shooters for intimate weddings. I only take on a few of these per year, and only when doing both will best serve my couple.
When I’m shooting both solo I wear a dual camera harness that allows me to alternate seamlessly between photo and video throughout the day! For the ceremony/vows I set up cameras on tripods to film while I photograph, and for the rest of the day(s) I just go back and forth. I love offering this service to my couples because it keeps the elopement experience even more intimate and creates stylistic consistency across their photos and film!
Yes please! Many of my couples hire me to capture multiple days of their wedding week adventures. In the past this has looked like hiking, snorkeling, helicopter rides, safari game drives, kayaking, catamaran cruises, extra portrait sessions, rehearsal dinners, exploring downtown, ziplining, beach days, cenote tours, and more. I’m down for it all!!

"If you want someone who’s equal parts creative genius, hype woman, and calming presence, Abby is your person! From the moment we met Abby, we knew we were in the best hands—she’s like that friend you’ve known forever, but with a camera and insane talent! Her energy is unmatched, and she went above and beyond to help us plan, organize, and pull off the most incredible elopement day (and the smoothest adventure days to follow). She truly is down for anything! She took the time to learn exactly which moments and details mattered most to us, making sure everything was captured beautifully. She pivoted like a pro when needed, kept things stress-free & on track, and somehow made everything even more fun. I truly don’t think there was a single moment where we had to worry about making sure we were keeping to schedule or were packing our snacks. Not only do we have the most stunning wedding footage, but she also captured our pregnancy announcement— Our video & how beautifully our day & that very special period of time was captured is truly something that could only come from Abby. It’s irreplaceable & we’ll cherish it forever."
Ana & Alex
"I could not have dreamt of the INCREDIBLE work Abby did for my wedding. For starters, she made everything the day of filming so special. My husband and I are both very uncomfortable in front of the camera and she made us feel at ease. We had so much fun we felt like there wasn’t a camera there. Abby made us feel so beautiful and so loved, it was the sweetest addition to our special day. And then the actual video she put together left me speechless. I am not artistically talented so I cannot provide the exact terminology that accurately portrays her talent with so many different types of film, camera, etc. But between that, the lighting, the editing, the directing…Spielberg has nothing on Abby."
Hannah & Corey
Practically, I loved that Abby offered photo AND video - it made it easier to only have to coordinate with one person. I had also previously worked with Abby and we vibed SO WELL! Which is arguably the most important thing for your wedding vendors. Knowing her ahead of time really made the choice easy. And I loved my evenings of just watching her films and crying to them anticipating my day HAHAHAH. Artistically, the way Abby captures people is unique. Because she doesn't care about "the perfect photo" she cares about the people in the frame first & foremost. She takes her relationship with her couples to a personal level, and makes everyone feel equally cared for, appreciated, and special. The films & photos reflect her warm-heartedness and genuine care for the people in front of the camera. Corey & I planned a unique AF wedding - way past just eloping or having an intimate ceremony. It was very non-traditional, and Abby was here for it the ENTIRE time. She literally wanted nothing more than for us to be intentional for our day, and she did everything in her power to make sure that value was held high. Abby's ability to be authentic to herself creates a safe space for us to do the same. She listened and calmed down my week-before-wedding-freak-out about being a curvier gal and needing to see more examples of body types in her work, and she also stayed open minded with our insanely wonderful woo-woo ceremony :) Thank you a million times forever and ever for capturing our PERFECT day."
Alexa & Nick
"Words can’t fully capture the joy, care, and attention to detail Abby brings to your wedding day. She is not only incredibly talented but also kind, thoughtful, and a true joy to be around. From the moment she arrived, she felt like an old friend—never just a vendor, but someone genuinely invested in our day. She went above and beyond just being our photographer; she helped plan the day, guided us through every step, and made sure everything flowed seamlessly. Her presence was calming, her energy infectious, and her ability to capture moments so natural and effortless. She made us feel completely at ease, and her interactions with our guests and vendors only enhanced the experience. Beyond her warmth, Abby’s work speaks for itself. She went above and beyond, rushing us key photos and a beautiful reel within a day of our wedding. Her talent exceeded all expectations, and hiring her was one of the best investments we will ever make. We feel so lucky to have had her capture our most important memories. Abby, we cannot thank you enough for the light and love you captured in our day. It was an honor to work with you."
Mikaya & Carden
"Abby’s passion, energy, attention to detail, creativity and pure talent are just some of what makes her incredible! Abby became a fast friend and we instantly felt comfortable with her. She made us feel special by focusing on what made our wedding unique to us and also helped us plan the most magical wedding. When we received our gallery of photos my jaw dropped to the floor. She captured the magic of each day perfectly and far exceeded anything we dreamed of! The wedding video she made for us was so carefully and beautifully created. Looking through our photos and video take me right back to each feeling and emotion that I felt during our wedding and surrounding days. The way she is able to tell a story through her work is awe-inspiring. I will be forever grateful that Abby was a part of and captured our most special day!"
Sara & Seth
"There are so many incredible things I could say about Abby! She was amazing from start to finish. She was quick to respond, answered all our questions, and made us feel completely comfortable throughout the entire planning process. She didn’t just capture our day—she made it even more special by actually marrying us, which makes for the coolest story! When it started raining right before our ceremony, I was a little stressed as rain was something we were praying wouldn’t happen, but the moment we saw our photos, all that stress disappeared. They turned out absolutely breathtaking—like something straight out of a movie! Even months later, I still find myself looking back at them weekly, instantly transported to that magical day. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better person to capture our elopement. Thank you, Abby, for making our day so unforgettable!"
AlLison & Josh
"Eloping with Abby was one of the best decisions we could've made. My husband and I are both pretty private and camera shy people and were nervous about filming ourselves, but we are SO glad we did. Abby made us feel so comfortable and genuinely excited for our elopement day. She was so organized and scoped out our sites before we even arrived in Colorado! She is so talented and we will be forever grateful for her and her amazing work! We feel so blessed to have a film we can cherish for years to come. You cannot go wrong with working with her!!"
Ali & Hugh
"I fell in love with an elopement video I saw from Abby and instantly knew she would capture our day perfectly. She goes above and beyond to help make your wedding day, and wedding planning experience, amazing. We were initially on the fence about where to have our wedding - she created a PowerPoint with options for us to help us decide! We met with her several times over the phone + FaceTime prior to the wedding, she really listened to us and was able to use our inspiration but truly make it her own. The day of the wedding she was so helpful, she even put my veil in for me! Her photography and videography are an art form but more so she is a wonderful human to be around and we are so thankful we got to work with her!"
Ris & Seth
"It is a shame I don't have the option to give Abby Bostian Visuals 10/5 stars. Abby is a master of her craft. She captures authentic moments that immediately bring you back to those smiles and laughs frozen in time. Her bubbly and energetic personality can make you feel comfortable when taking pictures...almost like your bestie hyping you up while taking some *fire flame emoji* pics! Her skills truly speak for themselves when you see her work. She is beyond talented . I would recommend to anyone in the market for a photographer or videographer <3 "
Hannah & Andrew
"Abby was the most amazing photographer/videographer we ever could've dreamed of having with us on our elopement day. She captured our day in a way that makes me feel like I'm right back in that beautiful Colorado basin every time I look at our photos or watch our video! Abby felt like an old friend and our biggest cheerleader, someone who laughed with us and cried with us. Her excitement and passion truly shine through in her work. We'd 1000% recommend her to anyone! Thanks again for helping us create such an amazing day, Abby!" - Hannah
"Abby was THE BEST choice we could have made as our wedding photographer. She knows exactly how to capture those special moments and tell a story through photos that take you back to the best day. Abby is super kind, organized, and planned the day perfectly. We liked her so much that she will be shooting my wife's sister's wedding day later this year. The day flew by, but the memories she captured will last a lifetime." - Andrew
Michael & Fatima
"When we first reached out to Abby, we were dreaming about an elopement in Yosemite. From our very first conversation, she was incredibly kind, helpful, and full of excitement for our vision. As our plans evolved and we decided to have our wedding in the Dolomites instead, Abby never missed a beat. She embraced the change with enthusiasm, making the entire process seamless and stress-free. From the moment we met her in person, we knew we had made the right choice. Abby’s joyful energy is contagious, and she made us feel completely at ease in front of the camera. She captured every moment so effortlessly, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the day without ever feeling posed or pressured. Her flexibility and dedication were truly remarkable—she went above and beyond to ensure that every little detail was documented beautifully. Beyond her incredible talent, Abby is simply a wonderful person. She radiates kindness, and that warmth extends to her family as well. Meeting them was such a heartwarming experience, and it was clear that the love and passion she brings to her work are deeply rooted in who she is. When we watched our wedding video for the first time, we were completely in awe. Abby didn’t just capture moments—she told our story in a way that brought all the emotions rushing back. It’s a gift we will cherish for a lifetime. Abby, from the bottom of our hearts, thank you. Thank you for your talent, your flexibility, and your incredible spirit. We are so grateful to have had you as part of our journey, and we truly hope our paths cross again!"
Kayla & Dakota
"Abby was an instant friend & compassionate addition to our day that we will cherish endlessly. In the time since our wedding, we've only become more grateful that we chose Abby to be a part of our day. We had an unimaginable emergency in the midst of our ceremony that Abby and her team handled with incredible grace and set the day right again. The raw emotion and storytelling in her work stuns us every time we revisit that day. To feel that she has given us an irreplaceable gift of the most beautiful memories is a testament to how differently Abby operates, versus just hiring someone to do a job. She captured the magic and how it truly felt so completely, that it feels like we get to re-live it over and over. We can't wait to show our future children her artistry of our day!"
Ivy & Aiden
"I can't say enough good things about Abby!!! My husband and I have been fortunate enough to work with her twice now! Abby traveled all the way to Kauai, HI with us for our elopement in April '22 and spent multiple days capturing our love and adventures. Abby has the absolute best energy, she's so positive, fun, loving, and easy-going and I couldn't imagine having anyone else with us for our elopement! I watch our elopement video multiple times a week haha Then Abby joined us for our backyard wedding in August '22 where we celebrated with family and friends. It was so cool to see her thrive in a totally different environment than our elopement! She kept us all on track and incorporated all of the poses I hoped to get with each other and our wedding party. I could go on for days about her amazing personality, but it doesn't stop there!! Her skills behind the camera are seriously top notch. She captures such authentic moments that are truly unique to each couple. I literally didn't even know my husband was capable of smiling as big as he is in some of our sneak peak photos. I never knew quite the way that he looks at me when I'm not paying attention. Abby has such a talent for capturing those fleeting, meaningful moments and her photos are such a gift that I will always treasure. One last thing - she has amazing communication and delivers photos/videos quickly! She's such a busy, little world traveler but still finds a way to make you feel like her only client."
