If you’re like me, photos aren’t just “pictures” — they’re the way we re-enter the moments we never want to forget. Think about how it feels when you look back at old family photos and suddenly you’re there again — the nostalgia, the laughter, the little details you didn’t even realize you’d miss.
We’re here to create images that bring you right back to the way it felt to stand there, hand in hand, saying yes to forever — the soft squeeze before you walk down the aisle… the joy in your partner’s eyes during your vows… the way the room sounded when everyone cheered.
Because years from now — when you’re curled up on the couch with your kids — we want you to be able to open your wedding album and instantly feel it all again.
I'm Raquel, a wedding and family photographer with 5+ years of photography experience serving South Dakota, Iowa & Minnesota, and beyond. I'm all about creating an intentional photography experience to relive your most cherished moments that become heirlooms. I found my passion for wedding and couples photography right after college and haven't put my camera down since.
I love everything outdoors and nature, iced coffees, my two cats, traveling, slow living, and trying all types of cuisines especially international food.
How you feel while getting your photo taken is one of the most important parts of photography and truly does determine how your photos turn out. That's why we do our best to make you feel super comfortable, give you space to be yourselves, and give you direction and prompts that feel natural and are meant to put you at ease and forget that we're even taking photos.
