Abbi Hearne is a Control Freak

Abbi Hearne Is a Control Freak-

Abbi Hearne knows what she likes and has built an insane portfolio as a result.

She and her husband Callan shot their first wedding together in 2015, feat. a traditional eight-hour timeline in Austin. A year later, they were broke, crying in a Subaru leaving Moab, and decided to never go back to Texas. Ten years on and they've built one of the defining names in adventure elopement photography (and who am I kidding- literally defined the genre). "We're such control freaks with it," Abbi says. "Nobody's going to do as good a job as us."

In this one:

-How an REI repost of a tent photo in the Pacific Northwest turned into their first real following

-The Redwoods elopement that built their SEO for "adventure wedding photographer"

-Why they don't usually work with planners

-The special (and lucrative) dog portrait sessions that became an unplanned second business

-Her philosophy on selfishness at weddings

Her book recommendation: The Secret Lives of Glaciers by M Jackson
