Hi! I am Rachel. I help make your wedding fun, easy and natural! As a Wedding photographer in Raleigh NC, I've dedicated over a decade studying how to help you feel comfortable and confident on camera... why? Because I am that awkward person who doesn't know what to do and I never want anyone to feel that way. I want o you to feel like the powerhouse and beauty you are! Let's help you see that photogenic isn't actually a thing by allowing you to see how beautiful you really are when you are allowed to be you!

I used to wear my band on the outside because my ring was a little too big and the band acted as a stopper😂
EXACTLY! I am a jeweler with Ben Bridge Jeweler and yes you are exactly right 💯
One of the best covers of Where is My Mind. Another one is by a recording artist named Storm Large.
Its come from what movie?
@@leandre5971 Dr who
@@rachelabiphoto oh okay thanks! :)
This is why I started taking photos in high school and why I still enjoy doing it. The best photos are candid, and showing someone a photo of themselves that is the first photo they "liked" in a long time is such a magical experience
@@magickaldust1213 💯💯💯💯🙌🏻🫶🏻 agreed
I hope the tradition carries on in this day and age.
Vibes r not checkong in the comments... To pple saying "i changed my name because we r one family now" did u discuss him taking ur (the wife) last name?
@@ilikeyoutube7224 great question
Well, someone doesnt seem like she is married 😂😂😂
Interpretation is changing over time. For example: We celebrate christmas without seeing the real reason for it. I think old traditions are Not a problem, because Nobody cares about the Original reason for it! Same for Weddings.
@@Buchidirk Christmas is a collection of a few different non-Christian holidays, pointedly, namely, the pagan holiday called Saturnalia that was overtaken by Roman Catholic Church... so the reason for the season would literally be to worship pagan gods
Imagine hating truly happy couples this much
😂😂😂
@@Beregond1861 nothing about this is hate. It's literally fact. People often feel like they have to keep with traditions but most have no idea why it's a tradition🙌🏻
@@rachelabiphoto That you need to *_redefine all marriage_* as only tradition is your problem. Human DNA combining to make having a *_normal family from a marriage_* a generational fact of life isn't a subjective tradition. Your own societally motivated preferences here are the *_abnormality,_* NOT marriage. Traditions are subjective and can obviously become normalized. *_Marriage and family_* are normal and aren't capable of becoming "normalized" because they're part of human life, bud.
@@rachelabiphoto And use of an emoji doesn't certify your claim in any way, even though that is _traDitIonAllY_ something younger people falsely believe.
@@rachelabiphoto It's okay to hate traditions too (edpecially if they are untrue and immoral), but clearly your tone and animosity for the representation of all marriage is very "problematic" to you and it's on full display in this video lol
Look up words you don’t know how to pronounce before filming girl. Aristocracy is a tough one

We don't change our last name in the middle east and Muslim countries 😂we are not properties
@@lilyd8575 love it! 🙌🏻🫶🏻
The virginity thing is more of a myth. White dresses were more of a status symbol popularised by queen Victoria, as it would be massively exorbitant to have a dress not only for a single occasion, but also one that would be nearly impossible to keep clean
Exactly, it's nothing to do with virginity and everything to do with status
@@EdgyShooter you can look it up: it's both🫶🏻🙌🏻
Thanks i will do none of these because i am not an object nor is my future partner. Wish more people saw how problematic traditions are.
I wish more people knew how problematic, people that use the word problematic are.
I changed my name because 2 became 1 and we are family. I don't care why someone else did it🤷🏻♀️
@@virginiaholcomb5528 your name and life, your choice. 🫶🏻
@@rachelabiphoto absolutely. It has nothing to do with ownership😊
Also diamond are over priced
The one about the father handing the bride to her new husband/owner I did know😁
Wawa
I thought it came from the tradition of needing witnesses to the "consummation" of the marriage and therefore the undergarments of the bride had to be removed in view of others?
It does. She is wrong.
Either way it's still fucked up
Right that’s what I thought
Yeah, those were the days. Good times. 😂😂😂😂😂😂
So weddings with the families' involvement didn't have best men
"Evil spirits"? Or families trying to get their daughters back
Honestly, probably evil spirits
That why wemon take the mans name cause they were owned by them now
Truth!
Can you please post your address? I want to make sure that you don't live near me.
😂
Went to a Hidue wedding and discovered the ring on the left finger is because of the blood vessel o the heart and th phrase "tie the knot" comes from the same place, the bride and he groom saris are tied togeher and walk around the fire to complete most of the ceremony.
Weddings are wack. Never change my mind
Santa 🎅 is the weirdest tradition
Love this.. i used to guilt trip my family anout not following tradition. But if you follow the history and enlighten yourself on the reason they exist and why you want to do them you can decide what you will continue and what traditions you want to start
Wait what? The veil was originally there to keep the groom from running away from an ugly bride? 😂
I love this. Assuming it's all correct (no hate, I just haven't verified), it's interesting to learn the origins of traditions. Sometimes they're harmless. Sometimes they're crazy. Either way, we all need to truly understand the things we are talking about. Especially vows.
Just because it's not a tradition for you doesn't mean that they're weird or strange. You are ignorant, and disrespectful of other Cultures.. Different Does NOT mean weird? But you as a white woman in the United States wouldn't know this? You probably have never been outside of the state you come from. Let alone any other country or continent.
Why did you guys kiss
You guys boyfriend and girlfriend
Wife and I did a first look, and had our wedding and reception in the same room, with our guests sitting at their tables for the ceremony. Worked out nicely and had everyone out of there in a reasonable time (it was a Sunday).
Love that!!! What a time saver and I love how many more photos you can actually get in the same time bc of efficiency ❤
I was once at a wedding where the bridal party went to a bar for drinks before showing up at the reception. No one was thrilled.
Yea…I bet
We want foooood
lol I feel like that’s a given❤❤
Tried to do that but photographer showed up really late. The person we hired contracted out. This is a great tip and as the wedding is over so fast, that extra time with guests is precious.
Oh no!!! That’s horrible! I’m so sorry you had such a bad experience with your photographer.
CAKE we want CAKE
Lol from my experience that’s about 60/40 but dessert for sure
ok you just came up on my feed and my daughter just got engaged and I can’t help but have wedding planning on the brain . More tips please ! love it ❤ thanks 🙏🏻
Awww perfect timing! And congrats to your daughter!! If you have pointed questions shoot them at me I’d love to answer them!!
I love your video! Thank you for your message!
Awww thanks!!
I listened 4 times and I'm not sure....did you say no to almonds?
My question too
Yes!! No to Jordan almonds 😂😂
Great advice! Thanks
So glad it was helpful!!!
Or don’t do a sit down meal. Just cake and punch. So many young people are doing that again. Whoever said to have a sit down meal at a wedding is nuts!
If you’re trying to have a wedding, be an entire celebration, where you have dancing, and all of that, there’s no way to avoid a meal time without being extremely rude. A wedding is usually 30 min, average is still doing photos for an hour then you have all the traditions that take about 2 hours to get through. That’s 3.5 hours. And that’s a lot of rush to get through no actually just existing and being with your guests. And just in that you’d have a hard time avoiding meal time
Huh did you date your photographer or another woman this makes no sense and it annoys me. Like you are wasting my time i dont care. Unrecommending
Or you people watch too much
This is so cute Congrats!❤❤
They are that!!❤
Congratulations on your beautiful day my the lord continue to bless your union 🎉
I hope the same for them!! (Not my wedding, I'm the photographer)
The word is amateur 😮
Lol
Love this type of photography. ❤❤
❤❤❤ thank you
So beautiful. Blessings for a happy long life together.🙏🕊️💕
