It was such a pleasure to work with Rachel for our April 2022 wedding. She went above and beyond to make this "senior" bride feel young again! Her presence and professionalism was more than we could have asked or hoped for. She made our special day even more special and with great memories to last a lifetime!

Rachel was such a joy to work with! She truly went above and beyond to make our engagement shoot and wedding a comfortable and joyous time. I am not someone who generally feels comfortable in front of a camera but she made it such an easy and fun experience. We truly left our wedding day feeling like Rachel had become a dear friend. And of course the photos we got after the wedding came quickly and were just stunning! Book with Rachel and you will definitely not be disappointed!

Rachel was a blessing to have for my wedding photographer!

I love Rachel. My wedding was 9/25/22 all the photos came out amazing. She captures great moments. She's very down to earth and will make your love story come true. You want be disappointed

We were in a real pickle because our original photographer had to cancel due to COVID, but Rachel saved the day! She responded promptly to our messages and was very clear & thorough during the whole process. I could immediately tell that she cared about her work and making sure we had what we needed. Rachel was very friendly and accessible from the moment I contacted her, which I especially appreciated as an anxious bride who ran into some last-minute event changes.

She was great at directing us and our families through the photo session, and made sure we felt good. Our courthouse wedding photos came out beautifully and really captured the joy we felt on our special day! I would highly recommend Rachel to others!

Rachel and her partner were fantastic. Several people asked me how the brides knew her, assuming they were friends before being hired as the wedding photographer because she was so personable and had such a fun and relaxed demeanor. She also helped with little details while getting ready (outside the scope of a photographer), she went above and beyond! And the photos turned out beautiful Thank you so much!

Rachel Abi is such a delight to work with as a photographer. My fiance and I just had the pleasure of completing a engagement session with her about two weeks ago and it was "fun-mazing." As a couple we have never taken official photos but this experience with Rachel did not disappoint from being collaborative when deciding on a location and attentive in correcting awkward body stances. Please checkout the RachelAbi photo gallery so that you get a feel of the life she captures behind the lens. Thank you Rachel for passion and light.
