Abigail Troy Photography

  • Photographer
  • Classic style
  • Starts at $1,500
  • Serves Ava, MO

Hi, I am Jessica, Owner and lead photographer at ATP! This year marks 10 years of being in business and I still love what I do! Photography has been something I have loved since I was a 9 year old kid, I just got lucky enough to make it a career. Weddings and Elopements are import life events that we can't redo. That is just one reason I am passionate about creating classic images that can be cherished for years to come. I want clean, classic images that can stand the test of time and take you back to your big day. I want you to look at them and remember the laughter, love, and all the smiles you had to come back in a flood of joy.

Abigail Troy Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. Abigail communicated amazingly throughout the entire process, always keeping us informed and addressing any questions or concerns we had. Her quality of work was top notch - the photos she captured truly showcase the beauty and emotion of our special day. Abigail helped out with schedule logs, keeping everyone on time, and was amazing with all our guests. She made things flow so much easier, always making sure we were comfortable and that everyone got pictures with us. Abigail was friendly, happy, and the hard work she put in for our wedding made the day so much more relaxed for us. We're thrilled with the final results and couldn't recommend Abigail Troy Photography highly enough.

The wedding day was so smooth, and I can't even imagine all the things they worked out behind the scenes without us knowing or stressing about it.

Thank you Lana! One of Lana's questions is "What made you choose me as your photographer?" To be honest it was a gut thing for me.. we meet in person at a Wedding Expo and she took the time to talk to my husband now and I, she even helped to try and find the shirts that I had been looking for, gave me website(s) to try. I mean WHO does that these days... Lana does that's who.. Lana is a person who beams with love and light and a great deal of patience.. her photos say the same. When you choose Lana you have chosen wisely, you have chosen artful, grace, love and professionalism. She captured our wedding in such a way that brought me back to those moments and overjoyed my heart, I even got to see somethings that I missed, she listen to me, she calmed me, made me feel like I was the most beautiful bride ever.. she also made sure that our lake photos were taking at the best lighting time ever and they were breathtaking! God Bless you!

At the age of 19 I left my small, strange hometown of Branson, Missouri to see the world. I began taking photos as a way to capture everything I was seeing. During this nomadic season, I continuously developed my style while creating as many new experiences as possible. While hitchhiking through New Zealand in 2014, I met the love of my life. Her name is Indy. After years of long distance and visa paperwork, we got married in 2019. We now are lucky enough to capture other folk's love story.

Awarded Best of Zola
Henry and Indy were so professional and so much fun to work with! We hired Torches for our small wedding and the video and photos turned out beautifully. We felt so comfortable trusting Henry and Indy with our intimate ceremony and they quickly became friends. The Super 8 film they captured was absolutely stunning and it will be something we cherish forever. I cannot recommend Torches Together enough and I would love to hire them again in the future!

Charity at He Loves Me Flowers did an incredible job for our wedding! She was such a joy to work with from the beginning consultation call, to answering my questions throughout the wedding planning process, to the installation on our wedding day. She was always so sweet and cheery, was so enthusiastic for the excitement of the day, and installed our wedding flowers PERFECTLY. I had a specific theme and vision of what I wanted in mind, and she executed it perfectly and even did it better than I could have dreamed of! The week of our wedding, we had to change all of our ceremony plans to accommodate for storms. Charity was very flexible and encouraging and was willing to change plans according to what we needed for the weather while still giving me exactly what I wanted, despite the last minute change. I did not have to stress about how it would look because I knew it was all in expert and professional hands. After the wedding, I received countless compliments on how beautiful everything was from our wedding guests. I am so grateful I hired Charity! She has such a talent for what she does, pays close attention to detail, has such a kind and caring heart, and is one of the best choices I made while wedding planning!

Thousands of brides across the United States and Canada have trusted Something Borrowed Blooms to provide the perfect flowers for their wedding day. We offer brides the expensive peonies, delicate ranunculus, out-of-season anemones, and the ever-impossible-to-find-magnolia — all at a fraction of the cost.

Awarded Best of Zola
Just rent the flowers y’all - after getting multiple thousands of dollars in quotes from florists for our tiny dinner party wedding I started to look for other options. SSB had great reviews, in person or zoom consultations and a VERY helpful FB group that helped me pull the trigger even being pretty skeptical that the quality wouldn’t be there. Fast forward to the day I unboxed them and I was floored, some of the petals even FEEL REAL. Don’t know how they do it. Shipping was easy, fast and return labels were in sticker form to just pop back on. Our guests had no idea they weren’t real, especially with our low light reception it was impossible to tell. It was a breezed - we spent about 450 for 9 large centerpieces, bouquet and a few boutonnières for the guys from the Marlowe collection rather than the 2-3k quite well we’re getting from florists here in Atlanta that at the end of the day aren’t sustainable and would have looked the same (at best). Just rent the flowers y’all.

Flower Moxie remains a humble, tucked-away small business out of Oklahoma City. We don’t zoom around on scooters in some fancy high-rise. We stock an average kitchen with canned wine and Aldi chips and listen to true crime podcasts while photographing curvy ranunculus. Join us. There’s cake, hugs, and acceptance here.

My daughter’s wedding was last Friday and it was absolutely perfect. We ordered flowers a few weeks before the wedding and got our first box no problem. The second box with the rest of the order was coming from a different location and UPS made a mistake with our address. If made me so nervous and I thought we are not going to have time to put flowers together but luis stepped in and resolved this situation very professionally. We got our flowers the same day and I can’t thank him enough for acting quickly and being incredibly helpful all they way. All of the flowers that came in looked great.

Jen was AMAZING to work with! When it came to flowers for my wedding, I had NO IDEA what I wanted. She was very patient with me and helped talk me through my vision. She gave me flowers to pick from, talked about how big I wanted my bouquet and how much greenery I wanted, and then when I could find colors I liked in swatches, she color-matched the colors I wanted from an inspo pic I found online! She was very professional and patient with me, even when my plans changed or I needed to add to my order.  I am not the best at putting together a bouquet. I am also someone who likes control, especially when it came to planning my wedding. I was thankful that I was able to give Jen the reins, tell her what I wanted, and watch her make my dreams come true. When I first saw my flowers, I was speechless. She truly did make my floral dreams come true, and now I get to keep my bouquet for the rest of my life! A wooden flower bouquet from Jen is the way to go!

(But I mean who isnt! I just cant help it!) FUN FACT: I speak switzerdütsch, aka a German slang. My mom is originally from Switzerland and my dad from Jamaica, so you know I am always hungry for adventures (and new places to binge eat at).

Ashley Cynthia Photography was an absolute delight to work with for our wedding day! From our first meeting, Ashley's positive, professional, and fun communication style put us at ease. On the big day, she and her talented and detail-oriented team worked tirelessly to capture all of those special moments. Ashley kept me smiling even during some family stress. The beautiful photos she delivered showcase her artistry and really capture the love and joy we felt. I was wowed by her determination to get the perfect shot. Ashley and her crew were consummate professionals and we could not be happier with the gorgeous photos to remember our wedding day!

We booked Teyanna in 2022 for our August 2024 wedding and did not regret it one bit. It was an absolute pleasure from start to finish. Teyanna was beyond accommodating and informative throughout the entire process. Her precise, creative, and professional "client-first" mentality shone through. From countless Zoom calls to meeting up in person to select flowers, it was more than we could have asked for and were expecting. Her professionalism and creativity showed through when we had to improvise our outdoor ceremony to an indoor one thanks to a horrific tropical storm. She called us on the morning of our wedding to ensure we were doing okay and went over every detail with both my husband and me to make sure she and her team didn't miss anything. We cannot wait to work with Teyanna again in the future.

Hi! I'm Brooklyn - the owner! I'm 22 years old & happily married to my best friend, Michael. Traveling is a huge part of our lives, WDW is our happy place, & our next adventure is never far away. When I'm not at a wedding, you can find me in the flower shop or doing some *light* retail therapy. I recently graduated from KSU with a B.S. in Hospitality & Event Management. I have had the opportunity to work with some amazing couples & vendors in several states. I even spent time in FL working closely with one of the world's leading entertainment companies bringing hundreds of fairytale weddings & events to life. Now, I'm making magic of my own!

Awarded Best of Zola
I had the pleasure of working with Brooklyn Rain Brides LLC on several occasions, and Brooklyn consistently impressed me with her top-tier communication, quick responsiveness, and professional yet friendly approach. The quality of her work is amazing - she is well-organized, detail-focused, and excellent at maintaining communication with all vendors. For the styled shoots that I worked with at, Brooklyn expertly handled the setup, controlled all the details, and ensured seamless coordination with everyone involved. I can't wait to collaborate with them again on a real wedding day and see their magic in action once more.

Since 2013, I’ve been capturing love stories in a way that’s timeless, authentic, and uniquely yours.

Golden Hour Images was the perfect choice for our engagement photography. From our first interaction, their communication was effective, kind, fast, and easygoing. The quality of their work was amazing, with beautiful, high-quality photos that perfectly captured all the special moments of our day. They made our engagement pictures so special and fun, even incorporating our camping-themed shoot and being so patient with us and our dog. We couldn't have asked for a better photography team to document our engagement , and we're thrilled with the results.

The quality of their work is unmatched, a solid 100 out of 5! They created an incredible same-day-edit video that was shown at the end of our wedding, and the quality, plot, music, and framing were all flawless. While I was getting ready, the videographer even took it upon himself to shoot all the necessary footage of the background details.
