the total package

standout service and frame worthy photos

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.

Principal / OwnerABBY JIU

Abby Jiu began her career as a fine art wedding photographer in 2009. In the intervening years she’s been named a top wedding photographer by Martha Stewart Weddings, and her couple’s days have been featured in People, Brides, The Knot, Over the Moon, Washingtonian Weddings, and Inside Weddings. Her signature aesthetic — timeless, light-filled, and boldly romantic images inspired by her couples’ heartfelt emotion and presented with an editorial edge — has made her one of the most highly sought after photographers for discerning couples and wedding professionals alike.

Abby’s art is strongly influenced by high fashion, interior design, and international travel. She’s had the honor of photographing weddings throughout the U.S., Mexico, and Europe in her decade-long career. Her approach to every event she documents is individualized and rooted in each couples’ unique story and locale.

Abby is based in Washington, DC, where she lives with her husband Jamey, and two kids, Cooper and Coco.
