Abby Jiu Photography
As a team of female photographers, we intuitively know that small details can make a big difference in how you feel about your photos. And we're naturally adept at making adjustments to the tilt of your head or the angle of your hips to highlight your best features. Though we photograph independently, our distinctive style is the same and so is our number one goal: To give you our all while we capture it all. You'll find that we are playful and professional creative partners who rise (and dress) to the occasion. We care more about providing standout experiences than our own egos or bottom line. And we go out of our way to finesse situations so our couples can stay in the moment. With any of us, the only challenge you'll ever face is deciding which photos to frame.

Photos by Maria B Lung
Inspired by Cosmos: A Sky Full of Ghosts, this photographer’s philosophy is rooted in the idea that photography is a form of time travel—shaped by light, time, and gravity. A decade after watching the episode, its impact remains, guiding a timeless approach that is Present, Connected, and Real. Present with the people who matter most, connected to each other and the space you’re in, and real in honoring the authentic unfolding of the day. Because when we are truly present, deeply connected, and unapologetically real, photography becomes more than images—it becomes a portal back to the moments that matter most.
