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.

You've looked through my website, Instagram, and testimonials and you like my style and what you see. The next step is setting up a time to chat to make sure we're the best fit for each other.
step 2: Lock in your date

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.
