Thanks for being here!

Nice meeting you, I’m Raphy!

A Storytelling photographer inspired by movies, music and art. My approach is rooted in connection. I want you to feel seen, comfortable, and like you're hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera. With a background in video production, I see your story as a series of cinematic scenes. Not overly posed or perfect, but full of movement, meaning, and that special kind of magic that only happens when you're truly in the moment.

I tend to romanticize everything around me. I believe that all the little details of our lives are beautiful and special, and I try to bring that to my photography.

I’m obsessed with my dog Cookie, Italian food, beach volleyball and rom-coms! I love a good coffee after a morning hike, and being close to the ocean brings me so much joy.

Let's tell YOUR story

my commitment

I’m here to create art that’s as unique as your story. I believe in authenticity, connection, and photos that will bring you back to that moment.

I’ll capture you as you are: imperfect, BEAUTIFUL, human.

  • Choosing Raphy to document our elopement was the best decision we made!!! It’s not only that she’s an amazing photographer, but she really took the time to understand who we were and our story, helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to capture us in such a special way. We will forever cherish the photos and we can’t thank her enough

  • We had the most amazing experience with Raphy. From the very first moment, she made us feel completely comfortable and natural in front of the camera. The photos captured not just how we look, but who we are as a couple, our connection, our emotions, and all the little in-between moments. Every image feels genuine and full of life. We are beyond grateful for these memories and can’t recommend her enough!

  • I’m always excited for my next photoshoot with Rapha. She creates the best environment every time. Whether it’s a solo shoot or a family session, you can feel how genuinely excited she is, always bringing cool ideas and the perfect team for the day. I totally recommend her if you want a great experience and to walk away with beautiful memories.
