Wedding Photos

Working with Brian was a great experience. He took the time to get to know us as a couple and what we wanted to get out of the photos. When it was game day he delivered timeless photos of our big day that were both beautiful and fun. He was flexible to our style, utilized his years of experience to provide helpful insights for both posing and back drops, and maintained professionalism with us and our guests the entire time. There is not a better photographer in the San Diego area if you ask me!

ABM is the Best!!!

As soon as we looked at ABM’s website and met with Brian in person we knew we wanted to have him as our wedding photographer. When we met with him he was very friendly and even offered his help with any questions or recommendations around our wedding. We also liked how much experience Brian had and throughout working with him we could tell he really enjoys what he does.

It was so great having Brian and his team handle the photography and videography for our wedding. Everything came out so great, they were so supportive throughout the day and the wreck the dress session with Brian was a blast! He knows where all the great spots in San Diego are and it showed in all the pictures. I’m so glad we were able to have Brian and the ABM team capturing all the special moments on our wedding day and wreck the dress session!!

Wedding Day - Pure Perfection!

I don’t even know where to begin with this review. There are many wedding vendors to choose from, but few do you consider family after the last piece of confetti has been tossed. The ABM team will be our family for life. We chose ABM to capture our engagement and wedding memories, as well as to create our wedding video. Our photographer Nick was out of this world. So wonderful, humble, fun and down to Earth on the outside, but an amazingly talented and a skilled master at his craft (he just won’t admit it). The entire ABM team went out of their way to make us feel comfortable in front of the lens. Nick even got our 9 year old daughter involved with photographing us during our engagement shoot at Balboa Park. We hired ABM based on the sharpness and quality of their photography, and the journalistic feel to their work. We got that and so much more – there wasn’t a detail or a shot that was missed. To this day, I still tear up looking at our photos, and our friends and family are enamored by their beauty. Remember - After the wedding is over, your photography and videography is the living document to the most important day of your life. ABM photography perfectly captured not only that, but they gifted us with the feelings and the memories of our special day that we will cherish for a lifetime. Nick, Jenna, Kellie and the entire ABM team, we will choose you over and over again. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all that you have done for us. We’re eternally grateful as husband and wife, and with Abby – a family. Love, The Laroux’s

We chose ABM Wedding Photography to photograph our wedding after meeting with Brian and seeing how exceptional his images were. He did an extraordinary job! When my wife saw the photos he took she almost cried she was so moved. Brian is friendly, easy to work with and very skilled in his art/profession. He is a perfectionist without being pushy or making you uncomfortable. Brian also takes extraordinary nighttime photographs that look like they could grace the cover of a magazine or coffee table book. In addition Brian provides his clients with tips on how to ensure everything goes smoothly and stays on schedule on the day of their event. He also got us our photos earlier than the minimal estimated time frame. I am thrilled that we chose Brian and ABM Wedding Photography to document our wedding!

I met Brian (and Nick) at a Bridal Bazar that my friend dragged me to. I am SO glad that I went. ABM’s booth was the last one that we stopped at that day. After a few minutes and looking through the photo booths they had available, I knew that I wanted Brian to shoot my wedding! Great photos were one of the top things I knew I wanted when planning the wedding.

My (now) husband and I met with Brian shortly after to go through options, what was important to us and packages that would be best for our needs/ wants. He was never pushy and offered great advice and options to suit anyone. When we decided to use Brian and ABM, every other photographer that “popped up” or email me, was nothing in comparison to Brian’s work.

We used Brian for our engagement photos (which I highly recommend!) He suggested the perfect location for our personalities. An old barn with beautiful lighting and amazing shots. I was obsessed with our photos. Not only was the lighting amazing, Brain was super fun to work with! I knew we had nothing to worry about our wedding day.

We got married April 21, 2017. We did a second photographer (enter Nick!) for the first look and ceremony. I am SO thankful we decided to do that. The shots we got from having two photographer was well worth it! Brian (and team) were amazing to work with on our special day. We didn’t have to worry about anything. He set a realistic time line to make sure we got the lighting we wanted and chose location on site that I would not have even thought of.

We got our wedding photos back not even two weeks after the wedding. ALL of them. **Obsessed** I have looked through them several times; and there is a lot of them. (How will we ever decide which ones to print!) The moments that were capture from me and my new husband AND everyone that attended, were more than I could have asked for!! He truly has an eye for lighting and capturing those intimate moments that you cannot stage.

After viewing ABM's photos online and then meeting Brian in person, the decision of picking a wedding photographer could not have been easier! Brian was very easy to work with--he was fun, down to earth, flexible, and still very professional. We had a team of two photographers on our wedding day and they managed to capture every shot we wanted and then some! Both photographers were right on time and kept the day running as planned. They coordinated everything beautifully with our other vendors and wedding coordinator. Brian was even able to capture photos of my flowerpups which is not always the easiest thing to do! All of our photos turned out beautiful and we were very impressed with the turn around time. We had our entire gallery ready for viewing within 10 days of our wedding during prime wedding season! Thank you, Brian and ABM for capturing all of the special moments on our wedding day. We will truly treasure these photos!

The ABM team is fantastic! Nick is our photographer and we absolutely love him! He took extra time with us to get those creative shots that I wanted and was so patient with our maniac boys that we wanted to include in some photos. I would recommend them to anyone looking for a non-stressful, high quality and professional experience!!

After our first meeting with Nick at his studio, my husband and I were certain we wanted Nick and his team to shoot our wedding reception. Nick was professional and his impressive portfolio of work speaks for itself. We also appreciated his flexibility and openness to continue working with us even after we moved out of the country a few months before our wedding date, which we thought would make planning a bit more difficult. However the move didn’t affect planning with Nick and he was great at reminding us of important dates and checking in as needed to make sure we were on track and he had everything we needed before our date. Nick was easily able to accommodate the needs of our large and unique Indian/Black/Mexican fusion wedding ceremony and reception and all the requests from our families. His relaxed and outgoing personality was exactly what our large wedding party needed and he helped move things along so that we were on time for each step of the way, without feeling rushed or that we might be missing a great shot. We especially loved the intimate, respectful, and beautiful shots he took of us at my father in law’s memorial site. We were really happy when we had a first look at our photos- they were artistic, beautiful, unique and really captured the fun and happiness of the day. Nick and his partner were on time, flexible, professional, got along well with everyone, and were fun to work with from day one to the end of the night. We received our photos quickly after our wedding and were thrilled to have so many fabulous photos to choose from- it felt like Nick was able to capture every important moment and even the moments we didn’t know happened but were thankful were captured. I recommend ABM Photography to couples who are looking for a photographer who is open to listening to their needs and ideas, has fantastic ideas of his own to make your photos special, is super fun to work with, and if they want unique and gorgeous photos (#notbasic) :) Thanks ABM!

My goodness, Brian is pure MAGIC! My husband and I couldn't say enough about how wonderful our whole experience was from booking, to creating the timeline, to the day of, to receiving our images... it was all just right. Brian was so patient and understanding from the very beginning! The day of, his presence contributed to the euphoricness of our day. He captured such blissfully subtle moments that we will forever cherish. Truth be told, I don't think a day has gone by since we received our wedding photos that we haven't looked at them! Brian, you are truly so talented and we will forever be grateful for you sharing your talent in documenting the most special day of our lives!

Brian was an awesome and genuine photographer! I rated photos of having an importance of 10 out of 10 and he definitely met my expectations! I was personally looking for a photographer that would not only take candid and modern-styled photos of my husband and I, but more importantly, I wanted a photographer that would make me feel beautiful, and reflect that in our pictures. Brian did exactly that! It was never awkward and the photo sessions were very easy-going. I got endless comments about how great of a photographer he was, and our wedding entourage even enjoyed his company and took a few photos with him! The ABM team were always available to answer questions and very professional. We received our engagement photos and wedding photos in a timely manner, and they all turned out better than I expected! Their services did not end after the wedding, they made sure to follow up and check in to ensure that we were completely satisfied! If you are looking for quality, candid, and very professional photographers, then ABM is the choice for you!

If you want to see your wedding from the best perspective, it's absolutely necessary to get professionals who can take the pictures and video that will guarantee that even after that whirlwind day is over, you can have evidence of the beauty of your day. A reflection of the people you love in the place that you loved on a day that you loved. You want to see the details you missed and the faces you may not have had too much time with. You want to see EVERYTHING because it was impossible to do so that day. Brian and the ABM photography team are EXPERTS at what they do. They see it all and capture it all. Spend a little, get a lot. 20 years later, everything aside, these will be the memories you treasure. ABM photography is the way to go!

My fiancé and I live in Chicago and we had a trip booked to go to San Diego on vacation. We decided to take our engagement photos while we were there to do something different! I chose ABM photography and could not have been happier with the decision. Our photographer, Nick, was truly phenomenal!! He was the most down-to-earth guy and made us feel so comfortable. Not only did we have a blast spending the day with him, but the outcome turned out beyond our expectations. A huge smog rolled over the beach, so Nick made time to meet us again the next day and spent extra time with us. The whole ABM team was super nice and easy to work with even though we were in a different state! THANK YOU NICK!!! We will cherish our photos forever!

We were super impressed with their work from Day 1 and Brian went above and beyond our expectations :) We also had a fantastic engagement shoot in downtown San Diego.He pays attention to details, is patient, and is very creative! We had a huge wedding party/family and he was able to bring us all together beautifully. We truly appreciate Brian and ABM! Kelli also did a fabulous job in our social media post and designing an incredible album for us!!

My husband and I hired ABM Wedding Photography to photograph our wedding and we could not have been happier!

My husband is a wedding bartender and I am a wedding coordinator so we knew of a lot of wedding photographers, but the there was no question in who we wanted to do the photos for our own wedding. We were so excited when we found out that ABM was available on our wedding date!

Everyone that we met or talked to in passing was amazing, but we had the pleasure of working closely with Brian. Brian is so kind, friendly, and genuine. When we first met him, it felt like we had known him for years! Not only was he great on our wedding day, but we had so much fun the months prior planning with him. On our wedding day, Brian was so calm and made taking pictures fun, easy, and most importantly comfortable. He has the perfect energy to be around couples on their wedding days!

Most importantly, the pictures turned out FLAWLESS! My husband and I were blown away with how beautiful they were and how quickly we were able to see them.

My husband and I feel so blessed that we knew about and hired ABM Wedding Photography. I don't have a single negative thing to say about them. They are my number one choice for wedding photography and I will always refer all of my clients to them!

Choosing a photographer for our wedding was one of the most important decisions we had to make and we didn't take it lightly. I have heard so many horror stories about photographers and working with ABM, we did not experience any of them. Brian and his team went above and beyond when it came to planning, shooting, and delivering on everything we needed. My favorite part was how creative Brian was to take adventurous and interesting photos of us so we weren't just standing and posing the entire time. He also delivered finished photos to us in only a few weeks. I would definitely want to work with ABM again and would recommend them to anyone who wants to capture their special day. Do not try to save a few hundred by going somewhere else. It's just not worth it.

If I could give them even more stars I would. ABM was hired for our wedding to capture both photos and videos.

First of all, the communication with ABM has been flawless. Brian and his team were great at answering emails and usually responded from within a few hours to a day at the latest. I greatly appreciated that while putting so many pieces together. They also had a lovely studio that we got to visit and it just felt like we were really working with professionals.

My husband and I decided to have one of our engagement photo locations somewhere that Brian had not shot before. We were interested to see how he would hold up in a new setting where he was not familiar with the landmarks and therefore had to think on his feet. We were not disappointed. From the beginning we could see the wheels turning in his head as he directed us without hesitation. This was definitely his element and his creativity really shined.

At our wedding, Brian and his team were very professional and just really fun to be around. They were very patient with everyone while being pulled in all directions. They worked seamlessly with our other vendors (so important!) and really just exceeded our expectations when we finally saw the end results. The video and the wedding book were flawless and we couldn’t be happier even 8 months after the wedding.

Thank you ABM Photography!!

Oh Brian and the ABM crew, how I love you!

Brian is an AMAZING photographer and I feel so lucky that he was a part of my wedding day. I wanted to hire a photographer that was reasonably priced but that also had the talent to produce spectacular photographs.
I got SO LUCKY to find Brian. I called so many photographers and the minute I talked to Brian, I knew we had found our perfect fit.

Brian was so easy to work with. Leading up to the wedding, he was patient, cool, and obviously seasoned in his work. He helped us narrow down what images were “must-haves” for the big day and carried a list on our wedding day and methodically checked each one off. As an OCD bride, I appreciated this so much.

Brian’s calm and cool presence on our wedding day was so important to us. He actually zipped me into my dress because my bridesmaids were nervous and couldn’t seem to make it happen. How sweet is that? He NEVER lost his cool and was just so great to have around. My fiancé (not a picture guy) felt completely comfortable with him and we commented on how cool of a guy he was and how happy we were to have his positive energy around us on such a stressful (but awesome) day.

I felt so happy about my choice even before I picked up our pictures. And when I picked those bad boys up? I was beyond thrilled. They were everything we could have hoped for. The photographs were just gorgeous.

I can’t say enough about Brian. He is a special guy with a special talent. This is an easy one to mark off the list! Book early!

Brian and Nick are absolutely amazing photographers. Our wedding photos came out incredibly beautiful -- artistic and natural all at once. Brian and Nick were able to capture all the candid moments we wanted memorialized, plus some we didn't even know we would cherish as much as we do. Our posed photos came out just as amazing. I really like their style of combining photojournalism/candid shots with posed portraits. Our photos help us relive some of the best moments of our wedding. In addition, Brian and Nick are great guys and very professional. I highly recommend them for your wedding.

Brian was everything and more that we could have hoped for in a photographer! He captured the most important day of our lives so beautifully, so that we will forever be able look back on and remember our perfect day. But what made Brian so amazing to work with was much more than all of the stunning images he captured, his attitude and desire to make sure everything was exactly as we wanted made him the perfect fit for us. His eye for detail and creativity was a major reason we chose to work with him, he took beautiful pictures for our engagement photos and made sure to listen to all of our feedback and addressed everything that we discussed so that our wedding day went off without a hitch. At our final meeting before the wedding he was extremely helpful in running through the timeline for the day and ensuring he had plenty of time scheduled for all the pictures we wanted. Brian’s calm and collected manner and ability to keep things moving right on schedule kept everyone at easy and enjoying the day. We cannot say enough wonderful things about Brian and Courtney, they were both a dream to work with and did such an amazing job! We will be forever grateful for the memories they captured so perfectly on our big day!

We met with Brian early in our wedding planning process. After seeing his photos online, who does not love the trolley shot with the couple kissing, we initially met at a bridal fair and then made an appointment to meet with him at his studio. Brian was friendly and professional. Courtney his office manager and assistant photographer is sweet and knowledgeable. And the photos can speak for themselves. When we met with Brian and looked at more of his work, we knew we wanted to hire him right then.

He shot our engagement photos first in February. My husband is kind of shy in front of the camera, but he made us feel at ease. The photos came out great, just a taste of what was to come. When the wedding came, Brian and Courtney had to deal with a church location and separate venue for the reception, a rather large family, and a site for post wedding photos. They were both very professional and knew what they were doing. It was like they were everywhere!!!

When the photos came, Brian managed to capture "the one" shot every single pose. My husband and I were having fun with the help of Brian and it came through in our pictures. He got tons of great candids too of our family and friends!

Photography is probably the most important (in addition to video) vendor to hire when planning your wedding. The memories that you get from them are priceless and finding a photographer you jive with is of the utmost importance. Do yourself a favor, and schedule an appointment with ABM photography early in the wedding planning process. You won't be disappointed and will snatch them up before any other couple!!! =)

Good photography definitely isn't something to skimp on. ABM was slightly out of budget for us, but we loved Brian's work so much we gave up the florist and got creative where needed. I would do it all again in a heartbeat! Brian did our engagement and wedding pictures and they are stunning. I'm still trying to figure out how to tastefully put up as many as I can throughout our house! :) Talent aside, Brian is a great person in general. You should definitely click with your photographer and Brian is a fun, easy going guy. Our wedding was a HOT 12 hour day and Brian was a good sport, smiling through all of it. He even motivated us to make more pictures when we were exhausted half-way through haha. Overall, ABM was fantastic in every aspect and I definitely will be using them for future occasions as much as possible.

We used ABM for our photography as well as our videography. They were recommended by our wedding planner. After our first meeting with ABM, we just fell in love Brian and his level of professionalism and knowledge of all things that were needed. Needless to say that we booked them immediately and were happy about our choice. On the night of the wedding, they were absolutely amazing. They were all over the place taking pictures, videoing our family and friends and really took care of their end. They were professional, knowledgable, and most importantly, fun to work with. They went out of their way to ensure that we got all the pictures that we wanted/needed. We are happy that we chose ABM to do our wedding!!!

We were referred to ABM, and we are so glad that we decided to have them photograph our wedding. Brian Kent (is the man!) and Nick (who is also a heck of a great guy and an awesome photographer:) worked our wedding in La Jolla and reception in Carlsbad. From the first interaction till photos were delivered, they couldn't have been more professional and fun to work with. We highly recommend their photographic services. I don't think you could go wrong with them. Top notch team.

I don't even know where to begin reviewing Brian and his team at ABM. Let me start by saying that Brian shot my sister's wedding, my own wedding, and my best friends wedding (I was a bridesmaid, so I've worked with Brian 3 times!!) He is a trooper! My sisters wedding had quite a few speed bumps along the way (it rained in August...) but Brian got her the most incredible photograph I have ever seen. If you stalk his photos like I did, my sister is the one with the night time raining shot with the parasol. He did an AWESOME job fielding questions from my incredibly detail oriented mother, and he made her feel SO comfortable! Our photos came out incredibly! My husband was the first one to complain about not wanting to spend money on a professional photographer, and he is now the FIRST to admit that our photos are absolutely beautiful! I can not say enough good things about Brian and ABM. He got our photos to us SO quickly after the wedding! I recommend him to ALL of my friends who are engaged! He never missed a second, and I can't wait to use him for our (hopefully) maternity photos one day! Thank you Brian!!!

ABM did a fantastic job! Brian was great with both our engagement and wedding photos-he really has an eye for amazing photos. Brian made us feel at ease and was very easy to work with. I would recommend his company to anyone.

I am above and beyond happy with my choice with ABM photography. At first I was on edge because of the price and the packages, but Brian was so helpful with picking out the packages and making it fit our needs. Photography was my main money spender on my list because that was what was important to me. And they were worth every dime. I wouldn't change anything, but the only thing I do regret is just not going all out and just picking the most expensive package that was unlimited because that wouldv'e had benefited me more. My pictures came out wonderful. Thank you So much ABM photography (Brian Kent and his partner that day Mike) Because of them I can relive my wedding through these photos.

I can't say enough good things about ABM. They were professional and easy to work with through out the whole process. They were able to tune in to our style and theme of our wedding and took pictures to match us as a couple. All of our guests were impressed with how kind they were and said "they were there taking pictures but they kept themselves invisible to the process". They didn't get the way of the experience, they were just there to record it. They stayed longer than we paid for just to capture the end of the wedding. I really enjoyed working with them and would recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer to capture amazing photos and being easy to work with.

This is for Nick, who shot our 220-person Hindu wedding and Western reception. Nick is the type of guy that my husband and I would attempt to invite out for beers constantly if we lived in SD. He was funny, relaxed, competent, and left us with a mix of beautiful traditional photos, photojournalistic candids, and unique visually stunning images. His photos had that visceral effect I was hoping for when I looked through them - they made me laugh, cry, and left me in awe. This is not just a routine job for him - he has brilliant ideas for cool shots and chases them instead of just settling for the boring stuff.

Photography was my top wedding priority, being a longtime hobbyist. I vetted 50+ photographers in the SD area, based on portfolios, reviews, and full galleries. I spent a lot of time picking out ABM. From my research, I can definitely say they charge a very fair price for the quality and attention you get.

Highlights:
* got us 1,400 photos less than 4 weeks after our wedding (contractually he has up to 7)
* addressed all my concerns and million questions before the wedding via email and meetings
* reviewed my (long) Pinterest boards so he had the best idea of what I love in photography
* had plenty of opportunities to charge us more but never took them
* flexible with his time to meet our needs
* scoped out our venue & nearby trails for romantics beforehand
* needed no guidance on the day of, even though our wedding wasn't typical (half the day was in in Sanskrit - no one understands this language)
* efficiently handled group shot chaos
* made us comfortable during romantic shots (I am pretty awkward when being photographed) - his guidance was on point but never bossy
* crazy hardworking - never seemed to need a break, was EVERYWHERE - belly-down on the floor, setting up lights, jumping on chairs
* impressed our parents & guests to the point they all commended us for choosing him (without even seeing his photos!)

Hiring Nick from ABM was the best decision we made over the course of planning our wedding. We went cheap on most things, opting for an outdoor venue (Martin Johnson House on the Scripps Institute in La Jolla -- Check it out. It was perfect for us, but tastes vary) that would allow us to bring in our own caterer (Buckboard Catering -- whom we highly recommend as well), and party rentals (Platinum Party Rentals -- which was totally adequate). We developed a great rapport with all of our venders, but we knew that Nick at ABM was our guy the minute we met with him for the first time at his studio.

I won't waste your time with the particulars of our wedding, but you need to know a few things to understand just how remarkable Nick and his assistant were. 1. The weather report called for a 100% chance of rain at our outdoor wedding. 2. We had no backup plan, and we were really bummed that our wedding was going to be entirely inside rental tents. 3. Nick didn't seem worried at all. 4. He wasn't worried because he had spent extra time scouting around the area finding some really cool spots that we could use in the event that it would rain. 5. It didn't rain. 6. He delivered -- literally -- 1000 exceptional photographs of our even. 7. He managed to make everything inside the tents look really classy and beautiful, despite the tents. I don't know how he did that. 8. All the other pictures were AMAZING too. Granted, we ended up with perfect skies and a beautiful sunset overlooking the pacific. But many of our favorite pictures were taken with backdrops we'd never have thought could look so picturesque. He made mildly-interesting-looking architecture look really cool. He made my bride look even more spectacular than she already did.

Finally, I have to mention that he literally shimmied up a tree and out onto a branch -- nearly hanging over the cliff!!! -- to get pictures of my bride and me on the cliff. That's dedication. That's Nick.

We hired Brian from ABM to be our wedding photographer. He, and his team, are amazing!! I would recommend them to anyone! Brian is very easy to work with and he makes you feel very comfortable when he is photographing you! We just received our images and I cant help but to keep flipping through them all!! He captured so many amazing images, a lot of which we didn't even know he was taking. They are the perfect documentation of our special day and we will treasure them forever!

Don't hesitate...go with ABM!! Like every bride, you want your wedding to be perfect and just as important, you need those perfect memories captured in photos that you can keep and look back on forever. We spent a long time looking for the perfect photographer, and didn't make a decision quickly. For us, this was one of the most important choices to make so we really did our homework before choosing to go with ABM.
First of all, we LOVED their body of work..the modern and vibrant style was perfectly what we wanted to capture our special moments. Then there's the photographer himself...with some companies you don't actually get to meet with the photographer that you will have on the day..that's not the case with ABM. We got to meet with Nick and we knew at that moment that he was the one!! I think it's so important to gel with your photographer (they are going to be hanging out with you all day, on the most special day of your life, so you have to like them!).
We met with Nick at the ABM studio where he talked us through the day, asked questions, and showed us his previous work (which is amazing!!). What made a difference was that we really felt like he genuinely cared about capturing the best possible photos for our day. It was a no-brainer for us... Nick was our man!!
On the day, Nick was there on time, and worked his magic throughout the day. All the time, being so pleasant and fun to be around. He stayed later than we contracted and we never felt rushed. He even asked if we wanted any more shots before he left, and was so accommodating.
After the wedding, our photos were finished earlier than expected. The photos came out AMAZING! Everyone that has seen them are totally amazed by how much he captured (and the quality). He did such a good job at capturing the story of our day...they are more than we could have hoped for!!!
Thank you ABM... We love you guys! :)

I know there are a lot of good wedding photographers in San Diego. But I was incredibly picky with who I wanted for our engagement and wedding pictures. We did our research, and read hundreds of reviews from different studios. We interviewed three different photographers starting off with Brian Kent at ABM photography. I knew within 2 minutes after meeting him at his studio and seeing his portfolio that he was going to be our wedding photographer. Not only was Brian professional and easy to talk to about how the engagement and wedding photography shoots would go, his artistic vision and creativity provided photos that went well beyond the traditional engagement/wedding portraits. I mean, they are just jaw dropping, STUNNING pictures. Brian is a perfectionist and will not stop shooting until he gets the picture he wants. So, let him shoot away! When we went to pick up our wedding pictures at his studio three weeks after our wedding, he gave us a surprise slideshow of the pictures he took. My husband and I watched eagerly with excitement, reliving our wedding day including all the tears, joy, and laughter. If you are looking for a dedicated, artistic photographer for your big day, look no further than ABM photography. You will not be disappointed! THANK YOU Brian for doing such an amazing job with our photos. We will be in touch shortly to order a wedding album from you ☺.

We were matched with Nick from ABM for our engagement shoot and it couldn't have been a more perfect match. He knew of some great places to shoot beyond the norm and was a top tier cameraman and professional in every way. Other reviews describe Nick as "talented, friendly, communicative, reliable, and easy to work with" and we couldn't agree more! We would hire Nick again in a heartbeat and we highly recommend him!

ABM Photography did an amazing job for our wedding. They were very professional and tried very hard to make sure they captured the type of photos we were looking for. They're creativity made us get some really unique shots that will make our photo album memorable. The price was more than reasonable. So easy to work with and couldn't have been happier with our decision to go with ABM photography.

Brian was SO easy to work with and very professional. We met at his studio office to talk about our big day, and I did not expect such an impressive space! I couldn't keep my eyes off of the many enlarged portraits lining the walls. It sold me right then and there, excellent quality and very impressive skills.
I’d like to think I was an easy Bride to deal with, in all aspects of our wedding. Unfortunately when it came to being photographed, I was probably a little more difficult, I even switched sides at the altar. He had awesome ideas and was very creative with the space and time we had for our day.
My family and I are beyond impressed with the selection of finished photographs, and I wouldn't think twice about ever wanting a different photographer/team on such an important day. Thank you ABM!

Nick Mantzel from ABM is amazing!!! Nick is super friendly and easy to work with. He was very responsive and flexible throughout the whole planning process. He shot our engagement photos last year in La Jolla. He made us feel super comfortable and gave us direction throughout the shoot, which was great because we would've been lost. He was super patient and was able to get amazing shots, even with our crazy dog.

I met with him again right before our wedding and he went through every detail to make sure he got every shot we were looking for. One thing thats really great about ABM is the unlimited time on the wedding day. This is pretty unusual for most photographers and it makes a huge difference when you're dealing with all of the timing logistics. I really appreciated how laid back they were and weren't trying to charge extra for everything. They gave us a disc with all of our photos with printing rights.

On the day of our wedding, Nick and our second shooter, Brian were amazing. They were super helpful and friendly. They worked really well with our videographers. During the ceremony they were so unobtrusive, I never even saw where they were taking photos from. Nick was on top of everything, he went through photos super quickly. My wedding party and family kept commenting on how easy and quick the photos were. Nick was creative and took some amazing photos. There wasn't any detail he left out. He was even super quick with the editing, which was greatly appreciated!! We would definitely recommend ABM!!

Nick at ABM = AMAZING. Nick was very professional and did a great job of capturing every moment of our special day--he made sure to get all the photo requests on our list :) Coming from Kansas City, MO (Go Royals!), it was very easy to work with Nick over the long distance.

As far as quality of the work, we just got our photographs back and they are BEAUTIFUL! He took SOOO many amazing shots (and that is saying something because my husband is usually making funny faces in the pictures we take together), and it is going to be a challenge to narrow down which ones to frame! Nick did a great job of capturing special little moments throughout the ceremony and reception -- from flower girls spinning their dresses, to children passed out on the reception chairs, to me smashing cake in my husband's face, to dancing pictures that you can't help but smile at... I could go on and on.. And our bride and groom photos are more perfect than I could have imagined.

My husband and I could not be happier with our photos and our whole experience with ABM. Thank you so much!!

From the details to the whole big picture, everything he captured was amazing and we will cherish our photos for a lifetime! Thank you so much to ABM photography for capturing our wedding day!

Photography was one of the most important things for me on my wedding day, and Brian and his team ensured that all my expectations were exceeded on this day. Brian quickly responded to my initial query, and was extremely professional, enthusiastic and helpful from the start.

I live abroad and Brian was extremely flexible when making a Skype appointment so that he could answer all of my questions and provide me with useful information. I then visited Brian in his studio and was quickly convinced that he would be the perfect photographer for our day. He made sure to note all things that were important to us (which were all handled on the wedding day!) as well as setup a schedule for the day.

Brian proved to be an outstanding photographer! He showed up on time with an assistant, and although my hair/makeup took longer than expected, we still got in all of the shots we wanted before the ceremony, after the ceremony and at the reception. He was so easy to work with, very accommodating, and his pictures are amazing!

I highly recommend Brian and team for high quality photography and professional service!

Our photographer Nick with ABM was amazing! We did our engagement shoot and our wedding with him. For our engagement shoot, he was such a great balance of professionalism and friendly interaction. He made us feel really comfortable because of that great balance. We have amazing shots from both our wedding and our engagement shoot. He was friendly with our guests and stayed calm throughout the wedding. He got great shots while not being in anyone's face. He reminded me of shots that typical brides wanted, but he didn't push me if I didn't want those shots. He was flexible and made sure that we got all the shots we wanted. I would highly, highly recommend Nick and ABM because of their professionalism, but personalization in their photography. If I could give them a higher rating, I would. Nick, thank you for making our wedding so beautiful!!

Brian and his team did a phenomenal job capturing our special day. They showed up on time, ready to rock and took amazing photos. We are so glad we chose them and would highly recommend them to everyone. We have over a 1000 photos to look back and remember our wedding day which we will cherish forever. We received our photos in the time frame that they initially had set and got to watch a slide show to preview them. Thank you ABM for all the memories we will be able to look back on for years to come, Love Devonna and Branden Van Esch

There were two things important to me on my wedding day, having the groom show up, and having gorgeous pictures! I, like most nervous and slightly obsessive brides, did my due diligence in researching wedding photographers. I knew the photographs were the only lasting moments I would have after my special day had passed. I scoured blogs, portfolios and websites until I found ABM. I knew from the first few pieces of Brian's work that I had to have him. Not only did he put up with my borderline stalking, but he invited me to visit his gallery and meet him in person. He is incredibly personable, professional and most importantly talented. I promise you will not be disappointed if you are lucky enough to have him capture your special day. He takes pride in creating beautiful photos and tailors his work to your preferences. Brian made me wish I could get married all over again - that's how great of a photographer he is!

If you are looking for photographers and videographers with attention to detail, who are professionals in the industry, and overall amazing, ABM Photography is the company you want to go with. Your wedding day goes by so fast and what have left after are your photos and video. ABM was there with us from the beginning, answering all my questions and really figuring out what we wanted from our photos as a couple. We had a huge Greek wedding and they captured all of the special moments in church and at the reception, which was really important to us. What really amazed me is we got married in January and the sun goes down fairly early, I was worried about there being enough light and getting great photos during sunset. Well, Brian and his team showed me that great photos can be taken any time of day. Our night shots in downtown San Diego are probably the coolest I have ever seen. We weren't sure if we were going to go down the video route and then Brian showed me some that they have done in his studio, which by the way is amazing in itself. I am so happy that we went through with videography, it was worth every penny. People have told me it reminds them of a movie trailer and it really tells the story of our wedding. We will cherish it forever! I honeslty do not have enough words of praise for this company, and if I could sum up my experience with AMB photography in one word it would be Extraordinary.

Everyone says that your wedding day is such a blur. Well, thanks to the ABM team- I can look back at my wedding photos and remember every moment. I absolutely love Brian and everyone at ABM. My husband and I used them for our engagement and wedding photos. My husband is not a huge picture taker and Brian made him feel so comfortable. The photographers are so professional, prompt and really care about making your special day one to remember. They took the time to get to know US and it clearly reflects in our pictures.

My husband and I decided that pictures were one of the most important things about our wedding and ABM was worth EVERY penny.

I loved using them for the engagement photos because on the (stressful) wedding day I felt like I already knew the team and everything went smoothly. They stuck to a schedule that we set up together and it made me relax for the day knowing that they were going to keep me on time.
They captured everyone who attended the wedding and somehow I never felt like they were in the way (like ninjas).

I cannot wait to use them again for maternity photos (someday)!!

Finding the perfect photographer to capture the happiest day of your life is not a easy task. However, we found it in Nick Mantzel, from ABM Photography. Wow!!! What a talented man! I highly recommend him to EVERY bride, without hesitation!

He was an absolute pleasant to work with from the moment we met, until the end of our wedding reception. He was always available and welcomed our questions, responding very quickly with all our inquires. Not to mention, he and his assistant Brian were able to fulfill all our requests despite our enormous wedding party ---> 28 people!!!

We were so appreciative of his great attitude (so calm and easy to work with!), professionalism and creativity. He made the entire process so fun and added such great energy and humor to our day..........so helpful to calm the normal stresses that come with getting married!!!

When it came time to view our finished wedding photos at the studio (which were finished earlier than promised), I was in utter amazement at how beautiful they were. So candid, original and vibrant! Nick was truly able to bring to the story of our wedding day to life. He far exceeded our expectations and gave us the most unforgettable token of our wedding. Thank you so much Nick!

Nick was able to capture so many amazing memories from our Wedding Day. He arrived at our house hours before the ceremony and stayed until the very end....even though it was past the scheduled time. Every guest felt comfortable with Nick and commented on how professional and friendly he was. Mack and I had the best time working with Nick prior to, the day of and after the wedding. We absolutely love our wedding album and all of the incredible pictures we will always have as a reminder of our perfect day. Mack and I are so grateful that we chose Nick and ABM Wedding Photography for our special day.

Quality and excellence of their product speaks for itself. What these gents are great for is their creative eye and excellent quality of photos, equipment, and materials used in production. They have a truly professional and warm working ethic, a hard balance to strike and a valuable one to have with a vendor during wedding planning and wedding day. You WILL be impressed! Check out their blog and you will see every wedding has quality.
Nick worked seemlessly with the rest of our vendors, & even my family and spouse. Share your own ideas but capitalize on their creativity and you will not be dissappointed!

We had a wonderful experience with ABM Photography & Brian, our lead photographer. The pre-wedding consultation & communication was professional & smooth. As the wedding approached, organizing the small details became a dizzying task for me. Brian did an amazing job of lessening that for me... asking the right questions, making recommendations for the itinerary & the shooting order of family and friends. When the day finally came, Brian and his staff was super professional, on-time and ready to work. They covered our wedding extremely well and the photos and video have a nice range to them. They were creative when a shot called for it and conservative when appropriate. Thanks to ABM, we have an editorial edge to our wedding photos and videos as well as shots that we can frame for our grandparents.

We received our digital photography in record time. Credit due to them for that, although it probably helped that we got married before the high season for weddings. The trailer that they edited for us is wonderful... such a great piece that highlights and touches on all of the moments of the evening and tells the story of our wedding night. I am so happy that we decided to spend the money on it. It will be a video that we can show to our children.

Brian and his team at ABM were great from the start. My fiancee and I met with him when we were selecting our photographer. He gave us great ideas for our pictures and we liked his style of photography. On the day of the wedding they were all very accommodating of all of our requests. We have almost 800 pictures to choose from and as all my friends have said, they will be hard to pick from because ABM did such a great job.

Thanks Brian!

I coordinated a wedding recently, and ABM was hired as the photographer. Brian was assigned lead photographer with his assistant, Nick. They were incredibly professional, friendly, and fun to work with! They were on point with all the key moments throughout the day, and really knew what they were doing. I haven't even seen the photos yet, but I know they will be stunning! They knew the venue well, and were able to catch incredible shots with ease. I would definitely recommend them to anyone.

ABM photography was so great to work with- we were planning our wedding from the East Coast so e-mails and phone calls were the only way to get things done. I spoke with Nick and got a feeling that he would be fun to work with the day of the wedding. He got a contract to us very quickly and responded to all my questions timely. Day of the wedding he was a joy to work with- he was able to help me feel not so silly posing all afternoon and was very flexible working with our young daughter. We received preview photos within a couple weeks and a disc full of amazing photos shortly thereafter. The photos are stunning- I know I don't look that good! My only regret is we won't be able to get family photos in the future.

We loved our experience with ABM Photography. I knew we were making the right choice right after my first phone conversation with Brian. He is very professional, but also so easy to talk to! What I liked about ABM is that they didn't make me book by the number of hours. Brian said, "I will be there well before the dress goes on and won't leave the reception until I've taken every last possible shot." He stayed well into the late evening and he was right- We have SO MANY wonderful photos.

On the day of the wedding, Brian made it so easy. I wouldn't consider myself photogenic in the slightest, but Brian gave great directions and suggestions. The photos themselves exceeded my expectations. WOW! The use of backlighting and natural light are phenomenal. They touched the photos up just enough so they were the best versions of the photo without seeming overly doctored.

The whole ABM team was friendly, professional, and wonderful!

ABM Photography did the photography for both our engagement shoot and our wedding and I have to say these are truly some of the most beautiful images I have seen! Brian was able to capture our emotion and feelings through photos which made them that much more special! He was professional and punctual and extremely fun to work with! I have a large family (and I really mean large), and they were all impressed with Brian and Nick's professionalism and mannerism during our wedding! Because of their artistry, now I have the opportunity to relive one of the best days of my life. Choosing ABM Photography was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding and I cannot wait to have them take our family portraits year after year!

Making sure we had the right photographer for our wedding was very important to us. So, of course we did our homework by getting recommendations, reading reviews and speaking with photographers. The body of work on ABM's website is stunning and found the reviews to be solid. After our meeting with Nick from ABM, we knew we had found our photographer. Nick was incredibly responsive during our wedding planning with any questions we had and was an absolute pleasure to work with on our wedding day. He's also able to blend in and you forget you have someone snapping pictures, until you see the moments he's able to capture with his lens.

Nick completely blew us away with how incredible the pictures he took were. I don't think I have every seen a photographer who knows his camera quite as well as Nick. He was able to make such quick adjustments to account for lighting, absolute perfection. Nick really listened to what was important to us in our pictures and executed flawlessly. He's able to capture important moments and has such an incredible eye for the details.

ABM not only met our expectations, but significantly exceeded them. I would whole-heartedly recommend their photography services.

Normally I don't write reviews but I just had to share my thoughts regarding the fine crew at ABM Wedding Photography. Nick was amazing! He was very personable and easy going. My wife and I got along with him so well, which is actually fairly important seeing how you spend pretty much your entire wedding day with your photographer. He made us feel so at ease which translated to amazing photos. He knew exactly when to get in there to take the perfect portrait and when to back off and take candid shots. He also listened to the things we loved (lots of color, lens flare, depth of field, action shots, etc.) and he incorporated them into our photos. The Groomsmen "Reservoir Dogs" and Bridesmaids "Bridesmaids" shots were fantastic! Our wedding was in October and we're still having difficulty picking the photos for our wedding album because there's just too many great photos to choose from. My wife and I would definitely recommend Nick and the rest of the ABM Wedding Photography crew to anyone looking for an amazing photographer.

I will not go into too much detail about ABM photography, because I think everyone reiterated all that needs to be said. I am the bride, but I am very simple when it comes to marriage. No need for a large event for a happy ever after. However, my husband still wanted to have an event to celebrate the day. The way I see it is weddings are all about memories and the best tway to capture and refresh them throughout the years is by hiring the best photographer you can find and afford. We searched through the highest rated photographers in SD and LA and narrowed them down to our favorites. My husband and I both agreed on ABM and after meeting Brian we knew we found the right person and studio for the job. Brian went above and beyond for us and our families during the day of the event. Our small DIY wedding would not have been as smooth if not for Brians coordination of events throughout the night. This is not something we expected from our photographer. All I can say is thank you to Brian and ABM for capturing such a beautiful moment in our lives and helping make our small DIY stress filled wedding day fly by smoothly. (A tip for the DIY bride, don't make the same mistake I did. Hire a hair and makeup artist.)

My wife and I didn't want a big wedding, but what we did want was a great photographer. We spent weeks checking out different photography portfolios online. We finally came across ABM Photography off Yelp. The studio had many great reviews and their website/blog had hundreds of example photos from prior weddings/engagements that they photographed. We found their pictures amazing. We met up with the photographer Brian. We told him the style we were looking for, and he helped us narrow in on a package that worked for us without going over budget. Brian was very accommodating with helping us decide on different photography locations.

Brian was a pro on the day of the wedding, he went above and beyond the photographer role. We didn't have a wedding coordinator for the reception because we had a small wedding. Brian's experience and direction helped us and our guests get through the day with ease. During the reception he would whisper the times to cut the cake, for the speeches, for the group pictures, etc.

We have just received our pictures and they were everything we were hoping them to be! Brian has a great eye for capturing the moment. When we look at the pictures, we can relive that day all over again. Thanks so much Brian!

I came across ABM on a wedding website and absolutely fell in love with Brian's work. I remember telling my husband "I found our photographer!!" I read his reviews and made an appointment. Everything I read is true! Brian and his team are excellent! My husband and I had a great time working with Brian he's an awesome photographer. We love our engagement and wedding pictures! If you are starting to plan your wedding and still looking for a photographer look no further check out his website his pictures are the best!

My husband and I recently got married at The Surf and Sand in Laguna Beach and used Nick as our photographer. I cannot even begin to fully express what a pleasure it was working with him. Through the entire process he was completely reliable, responsive, and organized. I felt totally confident that he would get all the different shots that I wanted, and when we received our pictures I saw I was right! He captured everything from photos of the dress and jewelry to the most amazing sunset shots of my husband and I. Sometimes it seems like there are some vendors that you have to worry if they are doing things the way you want and are on top of everything, but not with Nick. He made things so easy on us and was so on the ball! Plus he is just a fun and nice person to be around...he even helped the guys put on their boutonnieres when they didn't know how! The pictures were one of the most important things to us and I could not be happier...they are wonderful! I have heard horror stories of people not getting their pictures back for almost a year, but we got ours right on time! I highly recommend Nick and ABM Photography (also my brother and his wife had Brian as their photographer and loved him too) they are well worth the money!

We spent hours upon hours searching for a photographer. This was the most important vendor for us, as this person was capturing all of the intimate moments throughout our wedding day. When we came across Brians work we were just in awe and loved his creativity with the photos. After our first meeting, we were sold! He communicated with us up until our wedding day and showed up on time for all of the pre-wedding pictures. He even stayed until the end because we wanted to do a sparkler exit! We are so happy with all of our pictures and have recieved numerous comments on how amazing the pictures turned out. We are so happy with our choice and will definitely use this company again for future photography needs. Thank you again, Brian, for your amazing work!!!

When we were planning our wedding we both decided that a top-notch photographer was a must. After years of seeing others wedding photos, being constantly disappointed with what we have seen, we all but had given up hope that we would find exactly who we were looking for and were about to settle for the typical cheese ball wedding photographer.

Luckily we stumbled upon Brian and completely fell in love with style and his personality. Brian is so easy going and a complete joy to work with. He listens to your ideas and does not simply impose his vision for your shoot. Working with Brian is very much a collaborative process and the whole thing leaves you feeling like you had at least some say in the finished product.

We can not be happier with Brian and his work. Everyone always complements our Engagement, Wedding and now our Maternity photos, they absolutely love them and we do too. Brian is our go to guy when comes to capturing arguably the most important events in our lives.

I am in debt to my colleague, who suggested ABM as a photographer for our wedding (9/14/2013). She said that I should go visit ABM’s studio in Mira Mesa, because it blew her mind. Even going in with such high hopes, Brian Kent (head of the company) and his work did not fail to disappoint.
Upon meeting Brian, my now husband and I instantly felt like we found a professional who understood what we wanted from a photographer – this is no easy feat, as we have opposite styles (my husband is modern chic, and I am traditional/classic). Brian has a rare mix of breathtakingly-artistic work, and a fun, pleasant, upbeat personality.
After giving Brian our deposit, we scheduled our engagement session, to shoot at Sea Port Village (for which I had to get permission), and downtown San Diego. Brian graciously went over our two-hour time limit to ensure that we had the chance to pose for every photo on our list. The results were incredible – we will likely be enlarging some of the engagement shots to have around the house.
The results of the engagement shoot confirmed what we already knew to be true – Brian was, without question, the man for the job. We also decided to spring for the second shooter for our wedding day, which I would HIGHLY recommend. The flexibility this allowed was one thing that kept us on-time through the entire day's schedule.
ABM worked amazingly well with our videographer (NR3), which was really important to us also – Lord knows there is enough potential drama among family members that no bride should have to worry about a photographer and videographer vying and jockeying for the best shot, over one another.
Brian’s attitude throughout the long day never failed to be optimistic, and his mind creative. He has a knack for finding very flattering natural lighting that will make all the difference in your photos.

I cannot recommend ABM enough – stroll in for an interview, you will not regret it!

Brian and ABM Photography are by far the best in the business. We hired them to do our engagement photos and both our wedding photos and video. They offer an incredible package and really make the entire process easy and fun. Brian is such a creative photographer, and comes up with the most spectacular, unique photos. We loved his work! We have received so many compliments from family and friends saying they've never seen photos like ours before and they are by far their favorite wedding photos they've ever seen. We owe that to Brian. Please do yourself a favor and contact Brian to shoot your wedding, you'll be so glad you did. He was absolutely our favorite vendor for our wedding!!

We haven't seen the photos from our wedding yet, be we can honestly say that choosing Nick to be the photographer at our wedding was a great decision!

He is professional, kind, and a pleasure to work with. He arrived at the venue before I did (the bride) and made sure he got all the detail shots he needed before the actual wedding started. He made my husband and I feel incredibly comfortable taking photos and we can't wait to see how they turn out!

Nick was also nice enough to take photos with guests cameras and iphones! Thanks, Nick!

For me, our photographer was the biggest decision of the wedding. You’re pictures are what you will have for the rest of your life to document your special day. That being said, ABM was the FIRST thing I booked after getting engaged (yes, even before the venue!). I had seen some pictures they had done of a friend’s wedding, they were absolutely stunning and I knew they were the photographers I wanted for our wedding. I could not be happier with our decision! In the pre-wedding phase, Nick from ABM was very responsive and helpful. The pricing structure was reasonable, easy to understand, and get exactly what we wanted. The day of the wedding, they were very personable and easy to work with throughout getting ready, the pre-wedding shots, and the reception. Nick came up with a lot of fun cool poses/pictures for us and was totally willing to work with us when we had an idea we wanted to try out. We just got our pictures back and we LOVE them. My mom was flipping through and after the 10th straight picture of her commenting on what a great picture it was, we agreed that ABM are GREAT!

Brian and his team at ABM photography were absolutely amazing!!! Our photographs turned out fantastic, and we still have friends that come up to us now (months after our wedding) to tell us that the photographs were the best wedding photos they've EVER seen. Brian has a great deal of creativity and versatility, he knew exactly what settings to use. We had a full schedule that day that involved photography - inside the church, outside in the garden, beach at sunset, bridal party on the beach he kept up with our pace flawlessly. It was also great to not feel rushed by a time limit, as he made himself available to us the entire day - which is very unique - most photographers that I found would only work in a 5 hour window. If your venue is by the beach MAKE SURE to take sunset on the beach pictures - these were our favorites and Brian had to talk me into them because I thought we had taken so many good shots already. He also worked well with our personalities - our bridal party still talks about how much fun they had running down the beach...and a lot of the photos were aimed more toward the creative/humorous side of our personalities. He was also very patient with us during the planning process. You will NOT be disappointed. We made photography a big part of our wedding budget and I am so glad we did, it was really worth it.

Brian went above and beyond for us. He wanted to make sure our shoot was exactly how we wanted it. One part of the shoot had us on an ice rink and Brian was able to talk his way into allowing us to be on the ice rink without any other skaters. It really showed how dedicated he was to getting the photos he knew would be best for us and match out style.

If you hear people telling you that it’s worth every penny to have a good photographer… LISTEN TO THEM! Due to hearing that advice over and over, I diligently did my homework and interviewed over a dozen photographers in SD. I chose ABM Photography for many reasons… 1) Brian has such a great personality and immediately puts you at ease and makes you feel comfortable, 2) the photos in his studio are gorggeoussss – so crisp and clear and unique, 3) every one of his 10 or so albums for show were all beyond gorgeous…. Everything from the layout in each book, to how flawless the brides looked. I wanted to be the bride in every one of his books! 4) ALL of the pictures that he delivers to you are retouched for color balancing, etc. They adjust every single photo (hundreds!) for you and then the ones you choose for your album they will go back and do photo shop and retouching if needed. Some photographers only adjust the photos you choose b/c this is so time consuming. I did an old vintage look engagement session and the photos looked like they were straight from Mad Men… we had a crowd watching him as he shot! We did a TrashThe Dress session after the wedding where we got in the ocean and just like our E-Session, our photos looked like they could be in a magazine. Brian can do traditional photos, but when I said that I wanted more high fashion, editorial shots, he delivered beyond my expectations. Nick was our 2nd photographer on the day of the wedding and he was on par with Brian!! They both handled our HUGE wedding party of 20 people plus our families with such organization and at a pace that sped things along but that we didn’t feel like cattle. I can’t stress how easy they are to work with, how they will do anything to make your experience the best they can be. And the pictures speak for themselves!! They are truly the best wedding p hotos I could have ever asked for!!!

I will definitely use ABM photography again! Professional, artistic, organized, and easy to work with. Brian pretty much created the schedule for our wedding day because I was so frazzled! He is amazing and knew when to step in to help. The photos turned out even better than I could have imagined and we are so pleased that he exceeded our expectations.

Brian and Nick from ABM are AMAZING at both photography AND videography. We hired them for both and could not be happier with our choice. We had a crazy idea for our engagement save the date video and they completely made our vision come to life... It was a combination of photos, video, and stop motion. We emailed it out to our guests and we had so many tremendous compliments on it. We are SO, SO happy. In fact, photography is so important to us, we ended up picking our wedding date and venue based around Brian's schedule and availability! If that doesn't speak volumes for this company, I'm not sure what will. :)

If you're looking for genuine people who are talented photographers, and who listen to what you want, then look no further! We cannot say enough good things about Nick and ABM. Wedding photos were very important to us and we took our time to look for the right fit. After meeting with Nick and seeing their work we knew these were our guys and booked them for our wedding as quick as we could. Nick is very genuine and made the whole process very easy for us. We scheduled meetings before the wedding and he listened to all of our ideas and most important was game for anything we threw at him. Check out our Cake Smash session on their BLOG! They are 100% dedicated to their work and want you to have the best experience possible and it shows with high communication levels. Our second shooter (photographer) Joclyn was AWESOME to work with as well the day of the wedding. Needles to say our photos turned out fantastic and we'll cherish them forever. We highly recommend Nick and ABM to any couple.

There are many choices to make when it comes to a wedding, food, flowers, locations, etc, etc. Once the day is over its over and those are not such big choices anymore and your just happy in your honeymoon stage. Not only that but the day time and all parts of the wedding just fly by you before you know it. Photos are one of the few timeless ways to look back at it. We originally didn’t think it was as important as it is or did put much of our budget towards photography at first. Am I glad we did! Brian was our pick from the first meeting we had with him. Not to mention looking at his gallery and all of his work online. With Brian you get what you seem, amazing pictures, and professional, personable yet know how to handle timelines and get what you want out of your ideas and his amazing vision. We interviewed a few other photographers and knew that ABM was the choice. He had Brian for all day (unlimited) and everyone thinks the pictures are breathtaking. He captured time, moments, and events that we will now have forever. He really uses lines and your environment to the fullest with creative touch yet not so much that it looks fake and will be timeless which was super important to us. Just look at his work online as we are so happy we went with Brain and ABM…..AMAZING JOB!!!!!!

Pictures rank very high on my list of priorities when it came to wedding vendors. After all, the photos will last forever! My wedding coordinator advised me to find a photographer I would connect with since they will be with me every step of the way the day of. The first company I spoke to would not let me meet the photographer till the day of. However, when I contacted ABM, I spoke with Brian who immediately set up an appointment at the studio.

From our first meeting, Brian demonstrated his attention to detail and a level of customer care that is rarely seen now days. He asked pertinent questions and got to know my vision for the wedding. He was flexible and attentive to every detail. He worked efficiently and smoothly orchestrated our large wedding party. Our photos were unique, creative, and reflected our relationship perfectly! Our photos are amazing, and I will be using ABM the next time I need professional photography.

ABM is hands down the best thing going!! The entire experience we had with Brian was fantastic. He is a true artist and has amazing style, taste and talent that will capture your wedding day like you never thought possible. Brian brings a contemporary edge to the photographic vision of your day, while preserving the momentous and emotional occasion with the utmost class and professionalism. He will recreate the story of your day in a compilation of photos that will take your breath away and will allow you to relive your own memories through the images he captures. Brian has an incredible knack of gently guiding and directing your personal desires with advice and professional judgment to ensure the best possible photographs. ABM will be one of the best parts of your wedding day is highly recommended for anyone who sets photography as a priority.

AMAZING! That one word sums up the entire experience of working with ABM. They are very personable and make you feel like you have been friends forever. Nick was a blast to work with, and we worked him! He showed up at the hotel around 10 AM and worked all the way to 10PM.

ABM is absolutely amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to use them again!

My wife and I cannot say enough good things about ABM wedding photography. Brian and Nick really went above and beyond in making sure our wedding photos were amazing. In addition to producing perfect wedding photos, they made the experience first rate with their professionalism.

The whole experience was enjoyable. We started of by seeing their work by checking out their studio and learning more about their process. After shopping around a bit we knew that ABM would not only produce amazing prints for us, but that it would also be a fun experience. Both Brian and Nick have great personalities and kept us laughing and having a good time through all of it.

Overall, we had a number of great meetings leading up to and after the meeting. Before the wedding they assisted us in scheduling our timeline for the day of the event to assure that we got the pictures we truly desired, they also worked very well with our other vendors, something I heard doesn't always happen.

The whole process was very transparent and we really appreciated that. We knew ahead of time how long it would take to expect to see our photos and they stuck to their promises while producing a very high quality finished product.

Overall their cost was reasonable and the service and finished product we received drastically exceeded expectations. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL VALUE!!!

ABM was such a pleasure to work with! We used them for both our engagement and wedding photography. Both Brian and Nick made it feel like we were working with friends not vendors. They were responsive and accommodating and helped with the planning and itinerary. Their style of photography not only captures the image but the moment as well. We were so happy with the images and the mix of candid, posed and artistic shots. We are so lucky to have worked with them and to have amazing pictures that will forever capture our amazing day.

We had Nick as our photographer and he was great. He was working hard the entire day and his efforts definitely paid off. We came away with really great photographs. He was very easy to work with and is a great person as well as a photographer. Thanks Nick!!!

Choosing a wedding photographer is one of the biggest decisions in planning a wedding. It is important to find someone who will not only capture the day, but also have the professionalism and knowledge of how to do this without being intrusive. ABM was perfect at this. Meeting with Brian and Nick is like meeting a friend. Their passion for their work is inspiring and made me confident that they would try their absolute best to take amazing photos on our wedding day, and the most definitely did! I have looked through all of them over a dozen times and keep finding new favorites. We have had so many compliments on the quality of work. Let ABM capture your day, you will be so happy you did!

As we all know, choosing the right photographer for your wedding is just as important as wearing the perfect dress...photographs can capture so many of the amazing, funny and emotional moments that we would otherwise miss on our big day...and the eye of the photographer is to me more important that state of the art equipment and special effects...well, Nick, from ABM had the FULL PACKAGE! We first met with him for our engagement photos and we had a great time, he made us feel so comfortable and the shoot was amazing!!Everyone loved it....and when we finally got to our big day, it was all so amazing, Nick was so good at capturing our big italian family energy and when I looked back at the photos I was stunned! It all looked just like out of a fairy tail!
We both can't hardly wait to have another opportunity to work with ABM again and I will always be their biggest fan...they are talented, professional, fun, creative, humble and attentive...what more could we ask for!?!

Throughout our entire wedding planning process Brian at ABM photography was great. We got our engagement pictures done with him, as well as our wedding pictures. My husband and I are both camera shy and not very photogenic- but with Brian's work you would never know it! We refused to settle with photography, at the end of it all, the photos are the only thing left of your wedding, so they should be the best! I am so happy to have artistic photos that show off how happy we were, rather than stoic posed pictures we were used to seeing. With such an artistic eye, there is no way you won't be happy with the personalized and unique pictures you get as a result of using ABM photography. I can't wait to have them do our maternity photos, infant photos, and family photos to come. We are now life long customers!!

From the moment I saw Brian's work at a Bridal expo, I knew I needed him to shoot my wedding. Just walking through dozens of vendors, Brian's work definitely stands out among other wedding photographers. The day of the wedding Brian was great at making us comfortable with the camera and got amazing shots. He was there throughout the entire day and really captured the mood and energy of the day. Our wedding photo's came out better than I could have imagined, I really appreciate all the effort he put into doing an incredible job. He also got the pictures back to us very quickly! Thanks Brian!

Brian and his team were great to work with! Punctual, attentive and very professional! Offered great suggestions and very helpful in assisting the bride and groom with their picture needs. Brian was pulling Spider-Man like maneuvers to get the best angles and pictures possible! We can't wait to get the finished product which I have no doubt will be amazing! Thank you Brian! I highly recommend this company a million times over!

ABM is a top notch company and Nick is an amazing photographer. Nick listened to all of our crazy ideas (including shooting our engagement shoot in a gym) and turned them into a reality. We could not have picked a better photographer to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding! Our photos came out better than we expected. Nick blended in with the wedding party since he is incredibly down to earth. Honestly, stop looking up photographers and call ABM right now. You will not be disappointed!

Brian and Nick are both great! I initially contact Brian and he was already booked our wedding date, but he recommended us to come in and meet with Nick. Nick was great! We loved our pictures. My husband was very nervous about taking pictures, but Nick was very sociable and made Corey comfortable. We explained to Nick that our wedding was very simple, nothing fancy and he was able to show that in the style of pictures. We would recommend ABM to anyone that I know! You get what you pay for with ABM :)

You need Nick tophotograph your wedding! Our photographer was the one thing we refused to settle for less than THE BEST!! with ABM photography, that's what we got! Nick was so accommodating and so nice and easy to deal with. while a great personality is important since you will be spending a lot if time with your photographer (and we love love love Nick) it's not what made him the best photographer. It was his skill, his talent, his expertise, and his passion that made him THE BEST! Our photographs turned out beautifully! Nick can do amazing things, and he will make you feel at ease. He is AMAZING!!! I highly reccommend ABM Photography! We went in with high expectations, and every single expectation was exceeded! Thanks for a perfect wedding Nick, and thank you for the incredible photographs that we will have forever!

Brian is phenomenal! He has an eye for amazing photography and I still love looking at our wedding pictures. I was nervous at first because the price was more than I wanted to spend, but I am thankful every day that my husband convinced me to do it. Not only is Brian a wonderful photographer, he is professional and very down to earth. He listened to what we wanted and gave some advice and suggestions along the way. We had him the entire day and didn't have to pay any extra, which was important to me because I didn't want to miss pictures of anything. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
