MEET RAQUEL

The Arist Behind The Camera

An eternal romantic, Raquel is inspired by classic love stories in films like The Notebook, Twilight, and Pride & Prejudice. She dreams of living near the mountains, a place that feels like home to her adventurous spirit. Born on Earth Day, Raquel has a special connection to the outdoors and finds peace in nature.

HI FRIENDS,

I’M INSPIRED BY
CLASSIC LOVE
STORIES & film

Raquel’s deepest passion and guiding light is her faith in Jesus. After seven years in dentistry, she felt called to pursue photography, believing God led her back to this path. A proud Latina, devoted sister, wife, and dog mom, she now channels her heart into capturing love stories in a way that feels authentic and inspired. Her own wedding taught her just how precious photographs truly are, and she strives to ensure her couples feel deeply cared for and understood. To Raquel, this work isn’t just a job—it’s about building trust and creating a space where couples can fully embrace the moment, knowing every detail is beautifully documented.
