meet raquel
Whether for a wedding worldwide or an editorial shoot, photography has taken me on a journey that spans the quaint towns of the East Coast to the electric desert cities of the West Coast. Wherever I and my camera go, we create classic images that seize the heart of each moment—with an added edge.
From Raleigh and beyond
Hi, I’m Raquel! Traveling across the world has given me photography experience as expansive as the love stories I capture. My photos celebrate contrasts between intimate and grand, timeless and avant-garde, reflecting the East Coast’s enduring charm and the West Coast’s modern allure.
When I capture your wedding day, I’m not there to simply be a photographer. I step into the role of visual storyteller to transform your unique love story into an everlasting work of art that you’ll cherish forever.
It's a journey
THAT BLENDS THE two worlds
As my clients’ love stories take me from place to place, I bring with me a fresh perspective on wedding photography. I aim to embody the spirit of the city in my work, introducing romance to urban chic and making your home’s iconic skyline the backdrop of your photo memories.
I’m often inspired by my own love story with Mr. Baxley. We’ve been in love for over 8 years, have three sweet daughters together, and can usually be found hosting parties in or dancing around our '80s golf home.
