I’m not here to force weird poses or make your wedding feel like one long photoshoot. You don’t have to be cooler, quieter, or more polished than you actually are.
Think of me as a calm presence, a hype woman, and a deeply invested storyteller with a camera. I’m here to help you feel like yourselves, stay connected to your people, have the best time and walk away with a wedding album that feel honest, gorgeous, and alive.
Want to see what I mean before you take my word for it? Here's the receipts. Real weddings, real people, zero fake smiles.
Your St. Louis Wedding Photographer
I'm supposed to tell you how much I love vinyl records, gifs, and gummy bears, but I think it's more important that I tell you that I really was the kid taking pictures at age 12. I shot my first wedding at 14; I fell in love with it immediately. But my passion isn't photography; it's people. And when you want the day moving as well as still, I shoot video too.
I'm here for couples who want their wedding photographed as a living, breathing relationship story, not just a styled wedding shoot, with vibrant images, emotionally intelligent direction, and a finished album built to outlive the algorithm.

Of Photographing the best day ever
"People still haven't stopped talking about our wedding photos."
NINA PINXIT BRIDE
"Raquita became like family to me. She was a joy to work with and kept us calm and seemed to enjoy our wedding just as much as any friend who came and we got great images out of it. I couldn't be more thrilled."
Your wedding day is centered on the two of you, but it is also held by the people who shaped you, love you, and show up for you.
I believe in honoring both: your connection at the center, your community in the frame, and a deep sense of belonging woven through the whole experience. It’s your mom trying not to cry, your best friend acting like college bestie on the dance floor, your auntie holding court, your partner squeezing your hand when nobody else notices, and all the people who helped make this love possible.
our motto:
Professional third wheel
love at the center, community all around it, and belonging woven through the whole thing.
(bonus perks of self employment)
unprofessional amount of enthusiasm
My photos came out absolutely beautiful - every moment was captured perfectly. I’m especially in love with my wedding album; it’s something I’ll cherish forever.
RAVEN PINXIT BRIDE
I booked Raquita and her team for my wedding and I’m still so grateful I did. She made everything feel effortless and smooth during such a busy time. Raquita has a true gift, and I highly recommend her to any bride looking for a photographer who’s professional, talented, and truly cares about your special day.
That's what I actually do. I keep things moving, keep you calm, and stay invisible enough that your day still feels like your day and not just like a photoshoot. And then I hand you pictures of moments you forgot were even happening until you saw them again.
I've been called a "wedding doula" because I've navigated every kind of family drama, timeline meltdown, and emotional curveball a wedding day can throw.
And what I've learned is that somebody needs to be the calm in the middle of all of it.
Your wedding deserves better than a dusty hard drive
Listen, your wedding photos were not made to die in the cloud.
They were made to be held. Flipped through. Left out on your coffee table. Pulled out when your people come over. Revisited when you want to remember how good it all felt and how deeply you were loved.
Every album is custom designed and handmade from beginning to end, built around your story and finished with materials that feel every bit as good as they look. It is equal parts art piece, memory keeper, and “don’t touch that with greasy fingers” household treasure.
Side effects may include emotional spiraling, happy crying, and repeatedly showing everybody who walks in your house because it’s just that damn pretty.
As you should.
"After meeting with Raquita, we started to realize Raquita and her team could really give us the alluring, once in a lifetime photo experience that we were wanting. Not only were the pictures incredible, but she encouraged us to be present in the moment, as this day would go by very fast and she was right! Raquita and her team were so outgoing, fun and knowledgeable; perfect for our special day, while making sure we were smiling and laughing the whole time. They truly fit right in with my wedding party and family. "
