Raquel was a DREAM to work with! My husband and I had never taken professionals photos together before working with Raquel for our engagement photos and wedding photos. We were a little nervous what to expect leading into the engagement shoot...would this be incredibly awkward, what do we do with our hands? lol Within the first 5 minutes of meeting Raquel in person for our engagement shoot we were immediately put at ease. Raquel's kindness, warm demeanor, and eye for gorgeous photos was evident and made our session with her an absolute blast. The photos came out unbelievable and after that interaction, we were even more excited she was going to be shooting our wedding a couple months later.

The day of the wedding arrived and as a bride you have a million things going through your head, but worrying about our photographer was NOT one of them. I knew however the day played out we were going to have some amazing photos :)

Raquel showed up that morning and brought with her that same incredible energy AND her husband, Colton, as her second shooter. Raquel and Colton make an unbelievable team. My husband and his groomsmen said Colton was great to have hang out with them while they were getting ready, and of course Raquel was fabulous and helped me and my bridesmaids think of things we may have otherwise forgotten.

Raquel has an incredible approach. She is a great communicator, comes organized with a game plan, but is a true creative and is always looking for spontaneous shots to capture the essence of your special day. To say we were thrilled with the final product would be an understatement, she absolutely wowed us!

Thank you, Raquel, for delivering such high-quality photos that my husband and I adore. We love sharing them with family, friends, and hopefully can show to our future family one day. You are incredibly talented, and we can't wait to use you again in the future.

Words cannot describe the incredible photographers and humans that Raquel and Colton are. We booked them for our wedding and were blown away by their photos, interpersonal skills, attention to detail, professionalism, and overall care.

Before the wedding, Raquel was intentional about meeting with us virtually and asking us questions about how to best capture our special day.

On the wedding day, Raquel and Colton were a dynamic duo — Raquel focused on the bride’s side and Colton on the groom’s. They both had great ideas, were incredible friendly, and easy to work with. Having both as photographers, allowed us to not only take more photos, but to capture the special moments from various perspectives. Their ability to capture genuine emotion and joy in staged and not staged photos is truly a gift.

In addition to taking photos, Raquel and Colton added to the evening by being themselves — great humans and another example of true love and partnership!

Every interaction with Raquel and Colton was extremely positive. Their pictures are absolutely incredible. We cannot recommend them more highly.

Raquel and Colton were an absolute highlight of our wedding! When we first started wedding planning, I have to be honest, I was hesitant about photographer prices. But after working with Raquel and Colton and receiving our sneak peeks, I can say with compete certainty how worth their talent is. Everyone says how quickly your wedding day flies by, but it is so true and I am so grateful to have such incredible photos to remember every detail and moment. Working with Raquel and Colton was like having two more friends hang out with us while we got ready. They were so much fun and fit right in with our Bridesmaids and Groomsmen and made us feel so comfortable. My Maid of Honor has already said when she gets engaged and married she wants to fly Raquel to wherever her wedding is because she is that incredible. I cannot say enough wonderful things about not only their work, but the wonderful people they are as well. Thank you Raquel and Colton for playing such a special role in our day, we are so grateful

It was an absolute pleasure working with Raquel and Colton! She did our engagement photos this past month and I had a vision of driving along the CA coast and taking pictures on the beach. Raquel was completely flexible and totally nailed it. I seriously can't stop looking at the photos from our shoot!! She made my very camera shy fiancé feel totally comfortable. I love how she was able to capture my fiancé and I through candid photos. We also got our photos back super fast - within a week or so- which is fantastic with wedding planning. She was also incredibly positive throughout the whole experience. It was seriously so much fun. Safe to say we are definitely booking her for our wedding! Yes, you should book her for your photoshoot. You won't be disappointed!!

Raquel truly has a such a kind hearted and loving soul. She had my guy and I laughing and falling in love all over again during our session. She made us feel sexy, loved, and we couldn't stop laughing. She took her time with us and getting to know us and our golden retriever, Nemo! Our session was everything I dreamed it to be. If you haven’t booked her for one, you NEED too!
