the long curves of the satin slip gown traced the lines of her body. It fit perfectly as desired but that did nothing to the butterflies in her stomach.

A shaky hand gently drifted down the banister more to steady her heart and mind rather than body.

Standing outside they waited... the morning activities were a blue till this, they clenched and flexed their hands, stretching out their neck in an effort to relieve their excitement and tension.

The passion, excitement and love written on their faces and in the embrace.
Hey there! I'm Rachel. I am a crazy blend of type and and artist which didn't get along till i became a wedding photographer in Raleigh NC.

Whether it be the belly laughs and tearful moments of the toasts or those quiet moments, when the couple lean into each other at the reception to share a small secret in the crowded room, I'm in love with telling your story!

As your Raleigh Wedding photographer, it is my joy to capture the magic moments of your wedding day.

To be able to be with you on your wedding day and be responsible for freezing your moments for you to enjoy for years to come ... Nothing is better! It is literally why I love being a wedding photographer in Raleigh NC.

Elopement weddings are so memorable to be a part of because each one is intimate and so individual to the couple. It is like being a part of the family whether it is a destination wedding on a beach on Oahu or if it is a park wedding in Raleigh NC. It is a joy to be a member of that family for such a huge day!

I love Duke Chapel Weddings for the gorgeous architecture, history and beautiful esthetic with loads of surrounding beautiful foliage and the close proximity to the Duke Gardens. Duke Chapel is one of my favorite Raleigh Wedding Venues!

Campbell Lodge is a great venue for Raleigh weddings because of its proximity to Durant Nature Preserve and all the amazing natural features which allow for amazing storytelling photography. It is also a great choice for many brides trying on a fixed budget.

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!

"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!"

Love over distance. Kelly and Chris both from the mainland but their romance started on Oahu. Travel, moving and time created a journey that thankfully brought them into their life!
