Where effortless meets editorial
From the quiet in-betweens to the moments that take your breath away, I approach it all with intention and artistry. I’d be overjoyed and honored to document it in a way that feels genuine, elevated, and unmistakably yours.
what to expect
the experience
Picture this: you’re fully present on your wedding day, laughing, soaking it in, not worrying about where to stand or what to do next. I'm guiding you through it all in a way that feels natural, calm, and fun, so you can just be in the moment with your favorite people.
And years from now, 5, 10, 30 years down the road, these photos will take you right back to this exact feeling.
My #1 priority is to serve you by holding onto the memories for you, so you can relax, enjoy this season you’re in, and trust that your story is being documented with intention and care. Your story matters, and the way it’s shared matters too.
STEP 01
Fill out the form
You've already explored my website, browsed my Instagram, and read through my past couples' reviews, so if you're here, I'm honored you're considering me to document your day.
The next step is to fill out my contact form with all the details you have about your wedding, and I'll personally respond within 24 hours. From there, we'll schedule a time to chat, get to know each other, talk through your vision, answer any questions, and make sure we're the perfect fit before moving forward.
STEP 02
planning your day
Once your contract is signed and your retainer is paid, you're officially booked! I'll send over a few helpful resources to help you prepare for your wedding day, along with everything you need to know for the months ahead.
As we begin planning, I'll share my trusted vendor recommendations, answer any questions that come up, and work with you to create a photography timeline that ensures your day flows seamlessly and allows plenty of time for the moments that matter most.
STEP 03
final planning call
About two months before your wedding, we'll have one final planning call to go over all the finishing touches. We'll review your timeline, finalize your family photo list, discuss any last-minute updates, and chat through any details I should know so I can document your day with intention so you can be fully present.
STEP 04
the dream day
It's finally here! From the getting ready anticipation to the heartfelt toasts and dancing the night away with your favorite people, every moment deserves to be remembered. Just know that I'm SO excited to celebrate alongside you and capture your day in a way that feels authentic, beautiful, and true to your story.

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

Testimonials
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. 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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do you guide us with posing?
Yes! You do NOT need to know how to pose before our session. I will guide you EVERY step of the way and suggest prompts and poses that involve more movement and will bring out your natural emotions and laughs. You might even forget we are taking photos because it will just feel like you both hanging out or on a date.
Do you travel for weddings/sessions?
Yes! I love to travel and and will go anywhere for your big day. A 4-hour package is the minimum coverage for travel or destination weddings. For further destinations a custom travel fee will be quoted to cover a hotel stay and flights.
How long does it take to get our photos?
4-6 weeks is the typical turnaround time for delivering the full wedding gallery, and 2-3 weeks for family/couple sessions. I’ll keep in touch with you after your photoshoot to let you know exactly when to expect your gallery, so you never have to wonder.
How do I book you?!
Let's do it! Book your session with me by clicking the 'contact' button on my website and fill out a few important details like what type of session you're looking for and what you'd like captured in your shoot. For all sessions I will send you a proposal of services, contract, and payment options to make it official and book your session.
Let's document your story
I will give you space to be yourselves, direction and prompts that feel natural and are meant to put you at ease, and ensure we have time to let the real, unposed moments unfold.
