ABOUT RAQUEL PIRES
Introducing your Editorial STORYTELLER
Destination weddings and love stories captured around the world
If you’ve landed here, you’re probably dreaming of beautiful memories — the kind that feel like editorial style, but with soul.
Whether it’s your wedding day or simply life unfolding into new, incredible chapters, this is your story. And my approach is simple: to connect with you, to capture your personality and unforgettable moments — not as obvious poses, but as genuine feelings.
I believe photography is more than images. It’s art infused with emotion.
I’m Raquel Pires, an International Wedding & Lifestyle Photographer and a Storyteller — based in Sydney and available worldwide.
I’d love to hear your story — and transform your memories into art!
LUXURY STYLE with heart

Kind WORDS
“She was a DELIGHT to deal with throughout the whole process, QUICK response. On the day she was so CALM and HELPFUL and knew exactly how to get the RIGHT shots. She was so GREAT at capturing the CANDID photos throughout the day, that we barely noticed she was there!”
— CASSEY + KIERAM
“I felt so EMOTIONAL receiving the photos. WONDERFUL work and FULL OF LOVE. She made us CONFORTABLE and we are very HAPPY with Raquel's PERFECT work. They are MEMORIES that we will keep for a lifetime and she left a WONDERFUL mark on our lives.”
— KAROLINY + ADRIANO
“She was AMAZING and very lovely to work with. She captured our special day BEAUTIFULLY. Our children responded really well to her CALM nature also. Raquel is super TALENTED!"
— MARIA + TIAGO
