Yep I’m finally doing it: time to see who’s on the other side of the camera! It’s only fair for me to experience the discomfort of having a camera lens pointed at my face, right?
My name is Abby. I’m from Harrisonburg, VA and I’m a senior at JMU studying Media, Arts, and Design. I have had this photography/videography business since I was a sophomore in high school. I always used to make videos with my friends when we were little, but I got more and more interested as time went on and decided to take it to the next level. In 8th grade I got my first DSLR camera and immediately learned everything I could from UofY (University of YouTube). I quickly got the hang of it and realized I loved capturing things that were happening around me naturally, and was not a fan of orchestrating a story. I turned into a professional observer. This led me to film weddings, where I truly got to use my professional observational skills while capturing two peoples’ real love story. I often tell clients that one of my goals while filming their wedding is to be invisible, so much so that they don’t even remember that I was there. This is what I believe can create the most genuine, real, and authentic cinematic experience for a couple. It’s also such a gift to witness different love stories over and over that directly reflect the love of Christ and church. Wedding ceremonies are a sweet reminder of how Christ loves me every-time I hear them.
