LET’S GET CREATIVE

I studied humanities (the study of humans!), and it influences the way I begin my creative process. I get to know every couple. I become fascinated by the nuances of your connection and what makes your relationship special. I let your love inspire me. And then, with a passion driven by your love story, I document your love and take it one step further over the edge: I bring your love to visual life.

With wedding packages starting with 8-hour coverage, you can be confident that I’ll capture every detail of your big day. From film shots to digital photos, I’m there for it all. 

If you’re dreaming of timeless photos of your wedding’s unique moments with an edgy, authentic, and intricate touch, I’d love to beautifully preserve your memories.

MEET RAQUEL

As a full-time Raleigh wedding photographer for over four years and a past bride, I know the difference an experienced professional photographer can make. 

Every couple’s wedding date is only seen on the calendar once in a lifetime, which is why I passionately capture your special moments as I would my own.

I cannot express how wonderful my experience was with Raquel Baxley! I hired her for my wedding and she captured the most beautiful moment and did not miss a second. I had several vendors for my wedding but Raquel was by far my favorite! She stayed in contact with me throughout the planning, was extremely organized, professional, excited and arrived on time! Did I mention she gave birth to the most beautiful baby weeks before my wedding and still took great care of us. This women is amazing. My father passed away recently and she really captured his beautiful smile and special moments with him and I. I cannot thank her enough. I’m not sure what you are waiting for, hire her immediately!

I can't say enough great things about Raquel! She did our engagement photos and wedding, and we were so happy with both. She is so talented and easy to work with.  Raquel was able to direct us and produce some amazing shots! I truly can't thank her enough for providing these amazing photo memories for us. I'd recommend her for weddings and engagement photos and I'd even consider traveling to NC to work with her again someday!

She deserves 10 stars!!!!
