    Perfect Mountain Top Wedding Photos

    We chose Becoming Images to photograph our wedding at the Juneau Tram and could not have been happier with the experience and photos. Penny and her daughter Kaley caught every detail of our special day. We got suggestions on vendors, shooting locations and day of schedule that were helpful to the planning process. The creativity, vision, and direction that Penny gave us allowed for epic shots that captured our adventurous spirit and scenery despite getting married on a typical Juneau day. Let me tell you this: It is crazy hard to photograph in one dimensional grey and rain but our shots turned out so playful and beautiful, featuring the lush greens, mist, and magical nature of being in the Tongass rainforest. Penny and her team were incredibly professional and easy to work with. We opted for seasoned photographers that could cater to a full-out, mountain-top wedding with Alaskan flair and this team really delivered. I highly recommend Becoming Images for all your photographing needs!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Pauline- Thank you so much! Kaley and I had such a great day with you and your fun family and friends! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to photograph my first tea ceremony, too! I absolutely loved the time we spent together and the images we captured together!

    Amazing Experience with a Talented Photographer

    We decided to do things a bit differently than most people. We got married before we traveled, but knew we wanted our photos done in Alaska. Penny understood exactly what we were looking for and helped immensely to make it happen. She helped us find a florist and make up artist and directed us to so many beautiful locations. The photos turned out so much better than I ever imagined and the whole experience was so much fun! The photo book we got in our package is beautifully put together and amazing quality. We would highly recommend Becoming Images for anyone looking for a truly unique and wonderful experience.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Getting to see the sparks between you two and show off my beautiful hometown was so great! Thank you for inviting me into your lives!

    Engagement session

    Penny is awesome! We had such a great time during our engagement session and she worked around her schedule just to make sure we got the perfect weather and locations. She got the pictures to us quickly and we were so happy with how they turned out !

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Thank you Dorian!! Who knew when you caught me and me kept me from plowing my face into a concrete wall during your seniors you would trust me to come back for your engagements! ;) HAHA! Seriously- so happy you found Taylor! Have a joyful marriage!

    Hannah and Mark

    Penny shot our engagement photos, wedding, and day after the wedding (which I highly recommend to get the shots you want that you didn't have time for.) She flew all the way from Alaska to Virginia for both days. She was so professional and kind. She made us feel comfortable and was attentive to our needs. She listens and collaborates with you in order to get your dream photos. For the photos and time spent it is a great price and penny is willing to work with you. We had so much fun laughing with her and getting to know her. Not to mention her photos are something out of a magazine or movie. I highly recommend her to anybody looking for a wedding photographer. She's a magician. We were lucky she was a part of our day.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Oh, Hannah! You just made my dang day! Thank you so much! All of the time spent with you and Mark and your families and friends over the past couple years has been such a gift. Thank you for choosing me and thank you for reminding how much I love what I do & WHY!

    The best experience we have ever had with a photographer.

    Penny from becoming Images is one of the kindest human being I have ever met, and her talent matches her kindness. My husband and and I eloped in Alaska, and were so lucky to find Her. She came to get us in Juneau which was one of the port where we got off, she put us in contact with an amazing officient, and flower shop, and they all worked together to make our day magical. Penny orchestrated everything so that we wouldn’t be stressed, and found the most beautiful peaceful beach for us to get married on, and took us around Juneau and took pictures at different locations, which was great as we had never been there.
    Penny makes you feel very comfortable during the shoot, and knows how to capture the true you, while mixing in her personal touch. My husband and I feel we could not have had a better day, and we owe it all to Penny! We love the wedding pictures she took, and all the people and places she recommended. She is AMAZING!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Spending the day with you and Timothy and getting to not only be your photographer but also your official Juneau tour guide was so much fun for me! Thank you so much for letting jump into your beautiful adventure!

    Couldn't recommend Penny enough

    Like many engaged couples of 2020, we married in an elopement ceremony and pushed our larger wedding farther down the timeline. Our elopement was planned within a month or two, and it was important for us to spend our money wisely since we also had a wedding in our future. I reached out to Penny with our ideas, and she helped me and my spouse develop a price and plan to exactly what we requested. She shot both our engagement photos, followed by our elopement less than a month later. We received both galleries within a month from each session. Penny was an absolute pleasure to work with, and I couldn't be more happy that we hired her to help us out in this crazy time. I truly feel that my husband and I gained a friend here in Juneau.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    I think you guys know that you've already become some of my favorite people! ;) Thanks so much for inviting me to be a part of your spontaneous, joyful love story! I'm so honored!

    Awesome People, Awesome Photos

    Kelsey & I worked with Penny and Kaley for our wedding and we love the photos! We appreciated being able to talk with them ahead of time to discuss our preferences. The results are exactly what we wanted. Kaley was very generous with her time and even did a pre-wedding photoshoot with us so we could get to know her. Once we received the photos, Penny was very patient and helpful as we chose and ordered our prints. We’re looking forward to enjoying them and are grateful to have *perfect* photos of our wedding.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Thank you so much for taking the time to leave a review for us! We are truly so grateful and we are thrilled that your experience with us was a good one! I love that both Kaley and I got to work with you to create the ideal wedding photography package for you and Kelsey! What a pleasure to work with you!

    Not just photography - beautiful art.

    I've worked with Penny for years - family pictures, professional headshots, senior photos, and now wedding photos. Penny is a rare combination - a consummate professional and exquisite artist. She works to understand her clients' needs - and then she exceeds them. My daughter's wedding photos were so stunning that the only challenge is to pick between them. They aren't just photos - they are works of art.

    Wherever you are in this world, if you have an event that you want to remember forever, get Penny there to capture it for you.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Becky- We've been doing this thing called 'Life' together for awhile now, haven't we?! :) I'm so very grateful to have gotten to come along for the ride with you and your family over the years and I can't wait for the next big event! Thank you for continuing to choose ME and for making the experience such a wonderful one, always!

    Best Wedding Photographer!!

    We cannot say enough good things about Penny & Becoming Images! Our wedding photos turned out better than we could have ever imagined, and we had so much fun shooting them! Penny is AMAZING and there is no one else we would have chosen to photograph our wedding. She takes the time to get to know you & your significant other on a personal level and truly cares about each one of her couples. She is very professional and personable and makes you feel so comfortable when shooting your sessions. We would absolutely recommend Becoming Images to anyone looking for a fantastic professional photographer!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Being a part of this journey has been such a gift; your seniors, your engagement, and finally your wedding. We have been so grateful to have gotten to come along for the ride. Thank YOU for choosing Becoming Images.

    Truly A Gem!!

    Words cannot articulate the experience Penny gave us. We came up for a micro wedding from PA unsure of the lay of the land.. Penny made sure to utilize our time wisely and take us to the MOST BEAUTIFUL SPOTS! She spent time consulting with us via zoom before our big day to ensure any requests or visual expectations were met! On our big day she was there promptly and kept everyone moving on our timeline. If you are looking for a photographer who is going to exceed all of your expectations, please look no further and take this review as your sign. ✨

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Working with you and Robert was just so much fun! I'll never forget you two climbing out onto the rootball of that giant dead tree in the channel! You guys were so much fun and I had the best time documenting your beautiful day! Thank you so much for your kind words!

    Penny made our elopement experience so easy and wonderful. The process of taking photos after our ceremony was so much fun! Our sneak peek of our phots are absolutely stunning. I can't recommend her enough!!!!!!!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    I'm not sure what I did to deserve a bride like you, Josie! You're the best! Thank you again for choosing me as your photographer and I can't wait for you guys to come back up to visit us in Juneau again!

    Exceeds expectations!

    Working with Penny was amazing, she is so professional yet fun and makes you laugh and have a great time during sessions. She went above and beyond our expectations for our engagement pictures and our wedding pictures. Penny was very easy to communicate with, through text, email, phone calls, and facetime. Her work is amazing, but she is a more amazing person and we loved her from the moment we met her!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Why do you have to live so far away... just adore you both! Thank you so much for choosing me to be your photographer! I want to continue to document your big moments for years to come!

    Love Penny!!

    I loved working with Penny and would definitely hire her again! She was so flexible and accommodating with the changes necessary due to Covid, as well as the weather of the day. She made everyone feel super relaxed, and I absolutely love how our photos turned out, I was overjoyed when I first saw the sneak peeks! I would definitely recommend her to anyone.

    Becoming Images's reply:

    From the very first time we met to talk about your vision for your intimate elopement- I was hooked! I loved working with you and being a part of your incredible mountain elopement. You are a goddess! ;)

    Obsessed With My Images!

    I did an outdoor boudoir session with Penny as a gift for my husband, and it was such an amazing experience! She made me feel comfortable and beautiful, and it was SO much fun! I'm obsessed with my images, they are just absolutely stunning. I would work with Penny again in a heartbeat!

    Wonderful!

    Penny is the best! We hired her to be the photographer for our wedding. She was punctual, professional, and very proactive in interacting with the venue and catering hosts, as well as members of the wedding party. Aside from the photos we posed for, she was very much in the background and we hardly noticed she was there. I did notice her taking photos at the reception as she was singing along to the music. She totally fit in with our crowd! The photos were incredible! Now that we have found Penny, she will always be our family photographer!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    I'm so down with being your family's official photographer! I had such a great time working with you and I'm so pleased that you have enjoyed the process and the beautiful images we created! I'm looking forward to the next time we get to work together!

    Absolutely amazing!!!

    We are beyond happy that we met Penny! She is so personable, creative, talented, and fun. Her packages include so many extras (an engagement session! Credit to purchase products!), and every photo she has taken of us really captures us as people and a couple. Penny is a great person, and we really like hanging out with her. During all the shoots, she really just blends into the background and captures such candid and beautiful shots. We will hire her again for our anniversary shoots!

    Best Wedding Photographer

    I honestly don’t know where to start with Penny.. Penny is absolutely everything and more I could dream of in a photographer. I was traveling to Clolorado and stumbled across her on Instagram and fell in LOVE with her images. I immediately booked her for my engagement shoot while visiting without even meeting her! This was the best decision of my life. She is SO fun, loving, caring, so many amazing things. Sometimes photos can feel uncomfortable for your husband or even yourself if you don’t like being behind the camera but not with Penny! She makes you feel so amazing the entire time and towards the end your working that camera! My photos turned out absolutely amazing that I booked her to fly from Alaska to Minnesota to shoot my wedding day.. 1 year later she was back in MN for another wedding and you guessed it I had to book a shoot while she was here! I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her asides go book you won’t regret!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    You & Ty stole my heart, Alexa!

    From the moment I met you both, I just knew we were meant to be together and I'm so happy we've stayed connected through the past few years and I'll be your personal paparazzi for life, Girl!

    Amazing Photographer + Stunning Images

    Working with Penny from Becoming Images was one of the best wedding decisions we made. We had the pleasure of working with her for multiple shoots (engagement, wedding day, post-wedding adventure shoot) and developed a close relationship with her over the year. Penny's energy was so positive, and we instantly felt comfortable to be ourselves and just 'play' in front of the camera. She takes care of everything so you don't have to worry about any of the details the day of your wedding.

    Most important of all, we absolutely love the images we received. If you're looking for stunning photos of you and your love just being yourselves in nature, this is where Penny SHINES. Her and her assistant, Erin, made all of the shoots a wonderful experience, and we would recommend Becoming Images to anyone in search of a wedding photographer. Thank you again, Penny!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Thank you so much, Paxton! You two have my heart! ;) It was such an honor to get to photograph this season in your lives and to even get you two featured on Rocky Mountain Bride! Woot!

    Amazing experience with priceless memories!

    Oh my, where do I start?
    Becoming Images did such an amazing job for my engagement and wedding! Penny is such a free and loving spirit full of life and will make your experience the best ever. I felt like I’ve known her for years within minutes of us meeting for the first time.
    Our cold engagement session in Maryland was absolutely perfect. Penny made us feel so comfortable and our pictures turned out beautifully. My favorite part of the way she photographs is how our pictures looked so organic and natural. During our sessions- the way she directed us never felt or looked posed once!
    When our wedding day approached, Penny reached out multiple times where we were able to talk about both of our visions and create our wedding day game plan. Our day went so smoothly and our pictures once again turned out beautifully! All our family had nothing but great things to say about Becoming Images. Our wedding was one big party and they were along for the ride capturing all of our most memorable moments! One thing I loved was that Penny’s second photographer was her husband. Being able to work with your spouse is so special and I love that they are able to do that!
    The day after our wedding we had our adventure session where my husband and I were able to take pictures with our horses at the farm we board at. It was so nice having this special time where it was just us after all the excitement from the day before. These pictures to no surprise turned out beautifully- just as our engagement and wedding photos did!
    Overall working with Becoming Images was easy, fun, full of laughter and memories!
    What I can promise you is that you aren’t doing Becoming Images a favor by hiring them for your most special day. You are doing yourself a favor. I would not have these beautiful photographs and memories if it weren’t for Penny!

    Becoming Images's reply:

    Being invited to document your love story has been such fun. You guys are so wonderful and I am so happy that you have chosen me for the long haul! I'm in!

    Choosing Becoming Images was one of the best decisions I could’ve made. Working with Penny has been such a great experience she has been a big part of my major milestone including graduation, engagement and wedding photos. She made us feel so comfortable throughout the whole photoshoot and was very creative in the way she executed her photography. I would definitely recommend Becoming Images to anyone needing professional photos done. Penny did such a great job with our photos couldn’t have asked for a better photographer. I look forward to more of her work in the future. Thanks Becoming Images!

    Becoming images is a remarkable photographer and business. Penny not only makes you feel so comfortable but also captures moments that I’m so blessed to be able to keep the rest of my life. She is by far experienced, well worth it, and effortlessly amazing at what she does, as well as an all around amazing person. I highly recommend!!❤️
