Where romance meets the afterparty
Relationship-centered St. Louis wedding photographer for couples who want big love, real connection, and photos that feel alive
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.

What? its gross
Weddings Photographed
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.
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.
Your St. Louis Wedding Photographer

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.

our motto:
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.
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. 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. 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.
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.
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.
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.
L'Erin, Pinxit Bride
"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. Every shot felt natural, beautiful, and turned out better than we could have ever expected.
1. You want a team that sees your day as more than just a checklist.
We’ll talk through your wedding, your people, your priorities, and whether we’re actually a good fit.
2. You want your photography built around the real day.
Not just “how many hours do you want?” but what needs to happen, who matters, and how the day should feel.
3. You want to stay present on your wedding day.
We'll make sure you get direction when you need it, space when you don’t, and a photographer who knows when to hype, when to calm, and when to disappear.
4. You want more than a gallery link.
Your photos are designed to become albums, wall art, and tangible proof that your people loved the hell out of you.
You're probably our people if... You're probably our people if...You're probably our people if... You're probably our people if... You're probably our people if... You're probably our people if... You're probably our people if...
REach out - I swear I don't bite.
Most Pinxit wedding photo collections begin around $4,800, with photo + video experiences typically beginning around $8,000–$10,000 depending on coverage, team size, albums, and artwork.
I do not build wedding coverage like a fast-food combo meal because your wedding is not a number three with extra fries. But I will give you clarity, context, and honest guidance so you know exactly what you’re investing in and why it matters.
All coverage is custom built
Retainers on all bookings are at minimum $1,000.
I know this is the part where you’re trying to figure out if we’re in range without signing your life away to an inquiry form. Fair.
PRICING
I only take 15 weddings a year.
At this stage in my career, I am not trying to photograph every wedding in St. Louis. I want enough space to be helpful, present, prepared, and fully invested in the couples who trust me.

Pinxit Photo treats you like family, very easy to talk to about your vision around your sessions. They are fun and make you feel comfortable when taking the perfect shot as I am VERY camera shy! Loved my experience with Pinxit and my family and I will be back!
