Raquel Leal Wedding and Lifestyle Photography bio picture
  • Hello Gorgeous!

    I've been a photographer ever since I got my hands on my moms camera. When I was a kid, I sold wrapping paper and cards out of a catalog to get my very own first camera and pay for the film, flash and developing. I remember how exciting it was to go pick up a roll of film and see how the images turned out. I used to dress up my sister and cousins and make them model for me. I would even cut out ads from my moms magazine and put them in a "portfolio". Photography isn't a job for me. It's who I am and how I see the world.

    I love capturing memories. Whether it's a big event or the everday moments, I want to remember everything. And I do that through pictures.

    Thanks for stopping by!

    <3 Raquel
