  • Serves Merriam Woods Village, 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.

Torches Together LLC

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $3,000
  • Serves Merriam Woods Village, MO

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 often Indi, his wife) are the people behind the immaculate company: Torches Together. A company that considers every detail of photographing your event and enters into these spaces with honor and creativity as utmost pillars. Their work speaks highly on its own, but once you meet the beautiful, caring individuals behind the brilliant work, you're going to understand why I chose the words "immaculate" and "ideal". They will go above and beyond in service and originality for your celebration (in a way that feels so utterly like you). Capturing the soft, unseen moments and the spotlit moments with a raw and sentimental flare that is unique to them. I have worked alongside them as co- vendors, and co-creators, and have hired them to capture my own brand's essence. I deeply cherish the moments they've captured for me and with me.

Hi, I’m Isaac. In my world, light is everything. The cool ambient hues at dawn, hinting at what the day may bring. Golden sun rays catching particles through a tree as friends gathers to celebrate. A Cotton candy sunset peppered by patio string-lights as a DJ plays my favorite song. We all have timeless memories logged in our minds. For me, they are based in a language of light. As a wedding photographer, this deep connection to special lighting helps me produce dynamic visual stories of romance, personality and beauty.

Big fan of dive bars, staring at the stars, forever searching for the best french fries, a blissfully cold Diet Coke, and a true midwestern why fly it's only 15 hours. You'll find me often traveling, spending time in nature, collecting rocks and shopping for vintage t-shirts.

We booked Jessica Max for our garden wedding in May, and are OBSESSED with the photos! She is so talented at capturing the most intimate and candid moments without us even knowing that she is there. We added film photos onto our package and absolutely loved how they turned out. Jessica also captured polaroid pictures throughout the wedding that we got to look at the next day, which was so much fun. It's so hard for us to pick our favorite pictures to get framed, we love them all! Jessica is a true pro and an absolute pleasure to work with. We got a sneak peak of our wedding photos a few days after the event and received the full gallery within the expected timeframe. We absolutely loved working with Jessica Max and would highly recommend her to any couple planning their wedding!

I’ve always been passionate about capturing moments as authentically and magically as possible, and as i’ve settled more into this career path, I love that i’ve landed in a place where I have the privilege to capture and preserve people’s love stories.

I love the vintage-inspired look of the photos and video. She communicated when she said she would and I always received a quick response to any questions or messages I had. On the wedding day, I couldn’t imagine anyone who would make it as special as Mae did. She was more than a photographer- she helped me put on myself shoes, hyped up all the little details I stressed months over, and was just such a joy. I cannot recommend Mae enough. I loved all the photos and the video made me cry. Mae is the type of person you want to be friends with after everything is done. Trust me, book Mae!!
