Weddings go by fast

You already know this. What nobody mentions is the after, when the flowers are gone, the playlist is over, and you're left with a gallery that's technically pretty and somehow doesn't feel like your day.

I help you stay present while it's happening. Then I hand you an album with your whole story, in order, with your people in it.


What a day with me feels like

Candid the whole day. Start to finish, no clock watching.


That means I'm there in the morning before the stress kicks in, cracking jokes while someone's mother irons something that didn't need ironing. I catch the whole arc, so your gallery tells the full story of what happened.


We're not your average wedding photographers.

As you should expect from someone who's been doing this since 2008.



I'm not hiding in the bushes.

I'm definitely not standing quiet on the edge of your wedding party hoping nobody notices me.




I'm not forcing you into weird poses that make the whole room uncomfortable.


I'm not spending fifteen minutes on one photo while your guests wonder where the open bar went.



Still the one behind the camera

Something nobody warns you about when you're picking a photographer: a lot of the biggest names have stepped back. They book you, then send an associate team you've never met.


I'm the lead photographer on every wedding I book. Eighteen years in, still shooting, still present, still the one leading you through your own day.


Check my Date

One of my couples put it better than I ever could:

"She was our wedding doula! She just keeps you feeling grounded in the moment."

Monique & Nigel

(That's not a tagline I wrote. That's what she said. I just liked it enough to keep saying it back.)

Kind words from people who were there

"
"
"

Her photos perfectly captured everything, and looking through the album transports us right back to the day. If you're lucky enough to book her, you won't be disappointed.


Aimee, Pinxit Bride




We had no idea our wedding photographer would be with us at every moment of the day, not just as a photographer. She was there like a dear friend, lacing my dress, cutting the cake, and when it came time, cutting a rug with us too.


Ellicia & Kevin


We wanted pictures of us, our interactions, our love, our laughter, not just pretty smiles. Raquita really got to know us and captured the heart of who we are as a couple.

Heather & Matt

Let's talk investment

I know this is the part where you're trying to figure out if I'm in range, without signing your life away to an inquiry form.
Fair.


$4,800+

Wedding collections

$850+

Portrait Collections

$750/hr

hourly coverage

Any wedding day past eight hours comes with a basic engagement session and a basic album already built in. You'll probably want to upgrade both. Fair warning!

Chat & Meet

While you plan

You get your gallery plus a rough draft of your album. Then you guide me to the final version that tells your story the way you lived it.

Fill out the form below. I usually reply within the day with a personal email and a welcome guide with pricing and videos (check your spam folder, it likes to hide there).


I check the calendar ASAP and let you know if your date is open.

If it feels like a fit, we hop on a phone call, then you come see me at the studio so we can really talk. The longer the chat, the better. Out of state? We'll video call. A contract and your portal lock in the date.


I'm hands on. I check in by email every other week, we talk a lot, and I'm easy to reach. I actually like my couples, so this part is fun for me.

Send us a message

Send us an email fam and let's hang out. We can nosh and have a time.

Questions couples ask first

How much does a St. Louis wedding photographer cost with Pinxit Photo?

Wedding collections start at $4,800. Portrait collections start at $850, and hourly coverage is $750 an hour. Any wedding day past eight hours includes a basic engagement session and a basic album. Payment plans are available, and custom coverage is available too. Just ask.

Will Raquita be the one photographing our wedding?

Yes. I'm the lead photographer on every wedding I book. After 18+ years and 413+ weddings, I'm still the one leading you through your day.

What makes Pinxit Photo different from other STL wedding photographers?

I shoot the whole day with no clock watching, I lead every wedding myself, and albums and printed artwork are part of the experience. Couples have called me their wedding doula. Pinxit Photo has also been featured in STL Bride Magazine and The Knot St. Louis.

Are you a Black wedding photographer in St. Louis?

Yes. Pinxit Photo is a Black woman-owned St. Louis studio, and I've been behind the camera since 2008. (I shot my first wedding at 14.)

Are you LGBTQIA+ affirming?

Yes. Pinxit Photo is LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I only work with creative partners who sign the Ally Pledge. I also decline commissions at former working plantations.

Do you offer payment plans or smaller packages?

Yes to payment plans. For anything outside a standard collection, custom coverage is available. Just ask when you inquire.

How far in advance should we book?

A date is officially yours once your contract and portal are done, and right now I have 5 spots left for 2026 and 9 left for 2027. If you already know your date, check it now.

Do you travel outside St. Louis?

St. Louis is home base. Getting married somewhere else? Put your venue or city on the form and I'll let you know what's possible for your date.

Do you offer videography?

Ask about video on the form and I'll share what's available for your date.

How do we choose a wedding photographer in St. Louis?

Meet them. Not the portfolio, the person. You are handing someone your whole day and every nervous, unglamorous, wide-open moment in it, so the only question that matters is whether you feel like yourself around them. Come see me at the studio and find out.

🗓️

We're down to 5 dates in 2026. (9 if you're planning ahead.)
