MEET RAQUEL:
FOR THE
LIGHT
OF LOVE
Hello to all my beautiful couples! I’m Raquel, your new photographer bestie! As a local DMV photographer who has expanded into destination wedding and elopement photography, I’m thrilled to be part of your journey. My love for photography began at a young age, inspired by my dad, and that passion has led me to the incredible job of documenting love stories like yours.

"I am beyond blessed and grateful that you capture my special day. I knew from the start of my wedding planning process that I wanted someone to capture the raw emotions and candid moments through photographs.
The way that you took your time and get to know Osmin and I and how we wanted to capture our day made the process feel so much more special. Not only did I meet a beyond talented and passionate photographer but I also gained a friend. As we continue to receive our photographs there are no words to express how grateful we are to see the reflection of our love through your work. Your attention to detail in each photograph is inspiring and you truly brought our vision to life. Now we can cherish these memories forever."

Not only did she capture stunning photos of my husband and me, but she also made me feel truly special and important throughout the entire process.
I can't recommend Raquel enough—she went above and beyond, and the photos she took are absolutely beautiful. If you're looking for someone who is not only professional but also incredibly kind and dedicated to making your day perfect, she's the one!"

"Raquel was an absolute joy to work with! I felt super comfortable with her from the start because of how kind, friendly, positive, and caring she is. She was so easy to talk to and made me feel heard and loved. She cared about every aspect of my wedding, as well as what was most important to me, and took every detail into consideration so that she could be sure to capture every part of my special day. Her work on my husband and I's engagement session and wedding did not fail to amaze us. I remember screaming of excitement as we saw our wedding photos. I got the photos I dreamed of and am beyond blessed to have such beautiful memories thanks to Raquel's God-given talent. Raquel is not only an amazing photographer, but she is an amazing person. She cares about each and every one of her clients, and is so wonderful at forming connections with them."
