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 was wonderful to work with! Her pictures are beautiful, and she even made the picture-taking process fun for me and my fiance (both very camera shy). I don't think it was just us: we had so many people approach us during the reception and comment on how quick and fun the family pictures were. She also was incredibly responsive - somehow she managed to send us a "sneak peek" photo only a few hours after both our engagement session and our wedding.
5 stars all around but I wish I could give her more! Rachel is amazing and we’re completely in love with all of the photos she captured at our Halloween wedding last year! She listens to everything you want, places you into a picture perfect position, and has the eye for every little detail. Aside from the beautiful photos, Rachel kept us laughing and smiling the whole time. She is truly talented and I definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer!

Rachel was great to work with. She was incredibly responsive and made the experience fun. She took the time to get to know our site and us. The photos we got from her were beautiful.

Rachel did my headshots for my new business, and she was a delight to work with. She made me feel very comfortable during the photoshoot, and the photos look very professional. I will gladly be recommending her.

My husband and I did a 1-hour photo shoot with Rachel for our third anniversary. I have to say that she far exceeded our expectations. She is a great photographer and a beautiful person. My husband and I were initially feeling somewhat awkward posing for the camera but she made us feel extremely comfortable with her friendly attitude. To our surprise, we actually started enjoying it after a few minutes. Most importantly, she did a great job capturing the best moments, and all the pictures turned out to be superb. Instead of the 20-30 pictures that we were expecting, she gave us more than 50 stunning pictures. We would highly recommend her.

Rachel Abi does absolutely stunning work. Her turnaround time is lightning fast. And most importantly, her personality is so warm and inviting that she makes you feel completely and wonderfully at ease. She's exactly the person you want at your wedding!

Rachel Abi Photography took our engagement and wedding to the next level! She is professional, creative, talented, very reasonable, and so easy to work with; did I mention funny also. Each picture perfectly captured the emotion of that day! We will always cherish this experience!

Rachel Abi is AMAZING! Her and her husband form quite a photo duo, and were always one step ahead as to what shot, pose, location was next. They were very creative in how they posed us, they vocalized exactly what they wanted us to do, and they were not shy about complimenting the bride! 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.
Stephen and Brandi
She shot our wedding back on 2010 and she is so much more than a photographer.... she is always one step ahead and knows exactly what needs to be done for your day to go smoothly. She will make you feel like at least one thing on this hectic day will be exactly as planned.

Picking the person who will document your wedding is a SUPER important decision. Not only do you have to think about the photographer's photography style, you also have to have that certain "connection" as well. With Rachel, it was a no-brainer. She did our engagement pictures as well as our wedding pictures. The wedding day was such a crazy blur (I swear I hardly remember everything!) Rachel was there to capture every moment. Every smile, every kiss, and every meaningful moment was captured with such beauty! And, I can't even begin to explain how her organized approach helped save me TONS of stress with all my wedding planning. Thank you thank you thank you for everything you did to make my day so special!!!!!!
- Brittany and Chris
Ahh!! I love the pictures. Everyone thought you did a great job and thought we had wonderful photographers. Thank you!
- Wendy
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 photo sessions. And one thing I hear from a lot of other couples is how long they had to wait before they got their wedding photos back... can I say that we were THRILLED at how quickly she sent us ours! We are definitely grateful that we chose Rachel Abi Photography!
Jenn
The pictures are beautiful!!!! I love them '
-Sarah And nathan
Rachel took amazing photos of our wedding! She has a unique eye and was able to capture the ambiance of our wedding perfectly. Looking through her pictures makes me smile and enjoy that special day all over again! I highly recommend choosing her as your wedding photographer.
-Brianna and Michael
Rachel is an amazing photographer, but our experience with her was so much more. She had wonderful ideas for photo ops, but we never felt that she was hindering the flow of things or getting in the way. The majority of our wedding party was from out of state, so there was no get-to-know the wedding party prior to the big day. 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.
- Erik and Melissa
Rachel and her husband, Chris, took our engagement photos in 2011 and we couldn't be more pleased with them. She put them together as a coffee table book, and we love looking back over them and showing them off to friends and family. Posing in front of a camera can feel awkward after a while, but Rachel helped us feel natural and captured genuine smiles and special looks. We had a great time, and I plan to have her do another shoot in the near future! We would recommend her to anyone!
Sarah and Stephen
Rachel is absolutely a joy to work with! Having never gotten professional pictures taken, myself and my now fiancé had no clue what to expect. As soon as we met Rachel, we felt at ease and like we've known her for years. She has an amazing ability to put you at ease and make you feel very comfortable while taking your pictures which in return makes your pictures look natural instead of posed. We can't wait to get our engagement pictures taken by Rachel!
-Aubrey and Chris
Rachel is the absolute sweetest!! She did a mommy and me session with me and my two littles in Garner and we had a blast!! Even in the rain, the kids raves about her and all her “kid knowledge”. I’d recommend her again and again! - Lillian
Rachel Abi Photo did our Engagement photos. To this day people still rave about the creativity and the quality of our pictures. We blew one up and it's hangin in our living room. We genuinely had a terrific time and I would recommend her services to anyone.
