Hello, I'm Abigail!
But, you can call me Abby!
I’ve been taking pictures since I was six years old and got my pink Barbie camera for Christmas. I realized very early on that photography was more than documenting events- it was a passport into people’s lives. I see it as an opportunity to connect with people by capturing the most important moments in their lives. More than anything I feel a sense of honor and privilege sharing in their journey and bringing out the best in each person I photograph. As much joy as I get from capturing those moments, I find it even more fulfilling to plan and coordinate their journey to be as stress-free and as enjoyable as possible.
I have been a day-of coordinator to over 125 brides! From orchestrating timelines, to decorating the aisle, pinning boutonnieres, folding pocket squares, tying ties, re-curling hair, and always being the one to bustle the dress (no bridesmaid needs to be on the floor). My greatest hits include nail-polishing a ripped veil back together moments before walking down the aisle, sewing an entire wedding dress strap back on in an elevator, and getting completely drenched, head-to-toe, from body-blocking a broken window in a limo when it started down-pouring.
Not only do I want to be your planner and photographer.. I want to be the person you go to for answers to crazy questions, your hype woman for all your wonderful or zany ideas, your travel guide, your location scout and coordinator, heck I can even be your officiant (I'm ordained!). Making sure your wedding is the absolute best day of your life is my biggest passion.. well that, and finding the best burger in town!
When I’m not working with my amazing clients: I’m stuffing my face with Oreos and binge watching the latest shows on Netflix with my husband, or traveling the world — depending on the weather!
Photography is one of the things that defines the person I am, along with being a loyal friend, a movie fanatic, an Olympic weightlifter, an adventure seeker and a person who doesn’t need a dance floor, or music for that matter, to bust a move!
Now, enough about me, I would LOVE to hear about you and your story! Just head over to my contact page!

KAITLIN
Kaitlin Owens was inspired to document life with a camera as a middle-schooler during the Myspace era. After spending countless hours tweaking the photos she took with her little pink point and shoot, she pursued a photojournalism degree at Ohio University.
After spending four years at the student paper, she took a brief step away from taking photos and instead educated new photographers at a local camera store. Working at a camera store allowed her to gain hands-on experience with every major camera brand and hundreds of different photo and video accessories. Kaitlin can pick up any camera and go!
Now, she is back full time behind the camera as a medical photographer and assists and second shoots weddings to stay creative on the weekends.
On her days off, you may see her rolling through Cleveland on her bike heading to a local craft brewery or on the couch cuddling with her cat, Pandi.
You can find her on Instagram @kbowensphoto or at kbowensphoto.com
