I 'm Abby Leigh
Above all, I value sincerity and emotion. With a background in journalism, I’m drawn to documenting people as they are. That means I adore bold laughter, fearless emotions, and the kind of moments that spark when the room feels alive. And all that jazz.
My inspiration comes from the glamour of old cinema and the heartbeat of New York. My images express movement that feels almost musical. My goal is straightforward: to make photographs that feel just as truthful as the day they were taken.
If that sounds like your style, let’s get this show on the road.

I. New York Life
According to my grandmother, I've wanted to be a "New Yorker" since I was four years old. Since I moved here in 2018, NYC has had intoxicated me with it's never-ending energy.
Even though it's not always glitz and glamour, the edge never seems to burden me. The late nights in low-lit speakeasies and the symphony of honking horns seem to overshadow it.
I even adore the pigeons (obviously).

II. Old School Glamour
My visual language borrows from another era; one I'm endlessly homesick for but yet have never lived in. I yearn for a bright movie theater marquee and a jazz artist on the charts again.
My Spotify top artists for years on end have been Frank Sinatra, Nat King Cole, Glenn Miller and The Beatles. Technicolor musicals and black-and-white classics have enchanted me my whole life. All of the drama, the soul and the jazz has bled into the weddings I photograph.

At the center of it all: my very own love story with Brandon. He's a born and bred Brooklynite, and our first conversation (over Bumble chat) was about Frank Sinatra. We've been swooning and crooning ever since. Funny how fate works like that.
We met in 2019, got engaged in 2025, and will say our own "I do's" in 2027. He gifts me with the kind of tender romance that shapes the way I take photographs. He shows me that the most unforgettable love stories are the ones lived out loud.

Step Behind The Curtain
and see what inspires Abby Leigh:
Erin & Dylan, 2025
Abby’s work speaks for itself, but the personal touches, advice and friendship that she offers throughout the entirety of wedding planning is what makes her stand above other vendors. From our initial meetings, to our engagement session, planning time, and especially on the wedding day, Abby paid attention to each and every detail and captured it all beautifully in her art. Abby truly makes each couple feel as though they are unique, and tailors her entire vision around this. Working with Abby was an exceptional experience.
If we were to get married again, Abby would be the first vendor we would book.
