Eloquent Storytelling Wedding Photography for authentic couples who desire to feel naturally radiant and forget they are even on camera!

The morning activities had filled the room with laughter but the day hadn't felt real till Vanessa's hand gently drifted down the banister, more to steady her heart and mind than her body.

Stepping outside she couldn't help but smile at the tension she saw in Derek's hands. A gentle tap on his shoulder, he turned to face her and their faces bloomed with passion, joy and love as the embraced, their anticipation melted into excitement!

These moments make me endlessly grateful at the honor of being their wedding photographer.

I never thought I'd be a wedding photographer but a close friend saw my work and asked, I took the leap.  Cultivating a comfortable environment for them to just be them and have stunning photos... I fell in love and never looked back!

I love creating editorial storytelling photos for genuine couples who desire to feel fabulous and relaxed while having a blast in the process!

advice. inspiration. expertise.

We all have our strengths and blessings. Over and over my couples speak to feeling relaxed, natural and loving the editorial nature of my candid imagines. I capture your wedding with editorial story telling images. I both cultivate the feel of a moment but also love photographing the moments as they are happening exactly how they are. But more than anything else when you look back wedding day I desire you to recall the amazing day that celebrated your great love and how much fun you and all you loved enjoyed!

relaxed. natural. candid.

"I have had an incredible experience using Rachel Abi Photography for many of the big moments in my life. She captured my graduation pictures, engagement and my wedding and did an amazing job. Not only is she great at posing you in ways that make you look and feel beautiful but she's also great at capturing the real moments and emotions in her photos. Rachel is great at taking away any awkwardness and making you feel like her friend! That was always my worry when doing photography sessions (me feeling awkward) but she makes it easy to relax and laugh and actually enjoy having your pictures done! I highly recommend her and have greatly enjoyed every session she's done!"

"Rachel is an amazing photographer, but our experience with her was so much more. Everyone was absolutely in love with Rachel, very comfortable continuing to go about their business without feeling rushed or staged. I would not hesitate for a moment to recommend her to someone looking for a photographer."

"My husband and I knew that we really liked the work we saw on Rachel's website; but when we got our own wedding photos back, we were truly blown away. Absolutely stunning photography, but so natural and so us! Rachel was a blast to work with and had us and our families laughing and fully enjoying our sessions."

jenn and david

"Rachel Abi is AMAZING! She was always one step ahead as to what shot, pose, location was next. Rachel made us feel very relaxed, and I think it showed when we got the photos back. They were simply stunning. I could not have asked for a more professional and fun photographer."
