She did our engagement and wedding photos and they turned out amazing! She gave us direction when we needed but also let us just have fun and be ourselves. She gives so much great information about planning out your day as well! We were so grateful to have her as our photographer!

Nicole + Quinn

"Raquel has such a beautiful talent of capturing emotional and fun moments!"

She did both our engagement photos and our wedding photos. Our engagement session was super relaxed and easy-going. It was perfect. Having Raquel on our wedding day was incredible. She's prompt, prepared, professional, and communicative. She sent over sneak peaks of our wedding photos, and I am so excited to see the rest! Her photos are exquisite, and we are thrilled with her overall documentation of our love. 

Lizzie + Jack

"We absolutely loved working with Raquel! She made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera."

She arrives at events impeccably prepared and adapts seamlessly to any situation. Choosing Raquel as our photographer for our destination wedding was the best decision we could have made. Her photos vividly reconnect you with cherished memories while also showcasing a unique artistry that surpasses expectations. We are eagerly looking forward to including her in our next major life event!

Peyton + Logan

"Raquel is truly an artist when it comes to photography. Her ability to capture heartfelt moments is exceptional."

She's got the qualities you'd want from a photographer: professional, organized, personable, timely, and incredibly talented. She came with lots of ideas, so friendly and fun, and we got our photos back so quick! She is worth your booking.

Tigert Family

"Raquel is fantastic and it was so much fun doing a maternity shoot with her."

All the way from inquiry to gallery delivery, I never felt confused or in the dark about what was happening. On the wedding day, Raquel had a great eye for such a variation of shots - from our details, to our family, to us. I loved the natural color adjusted edits and style of our photos. They are truly timeless and elegant photos that we will treasure forever - not to mention they look like they could be in an editorial spread! We smiled ear to ear when we went through our full gallery. 

Maggie + Aaron

"The entire experience was nothing short of incredible with Raquel as our wedding photographer!"

She emits positive energy like no other, which is helpful when you’re a ball of anxiety on your wedding day! She provided much needed guidance when it came to what to do for photos, how to pose, where to be, etc. That was something I really appreciated. After I received my gallery, I was blown away. Raquel made me feel so beautiful.

Brittany + Jon

"I’m so grateful we have her work to look back on for years to come! Raquel is so professional, and at the same time, also so personable, as she takes the time to genuinely get to know you."

Kind words

Space to be yourselves
Prompts that create natural emotion

Letting the real moments happen
Capturing what your love truly feels like

I believe in the power of photos to freeze time and giving the gift of reliving your precious moments — from getting engaged to the fleeting moments of your little ones growing up too fast. My approach is to document your timeless emotions that tell a story that is real and memory-filled to you.
