The best we could have found
I honestly can't say enough about Rebecca Stark. I never hired a wedding planner for our wedding (fine for me, I like arranging all the details myself,) but I did start to realize I lacked the vision and professional eye that might have come from having that help. Part of our decision to hire Rebecca as our photographer almost immediately was that she threw out the most beautiful suggestions so effortlessly in conversation ("Have you considered these colors?" "There's a great little beach over here that no one really knows about..."). In short, we took almost every idea she mentioned - and furthermore, talking through her process with her helped me to identify what stop gaps existed in my planning. Her communication was excellent, for months leading up to our big day - and her personality is so easygoing and calm, which is a godsend for any bride.
She was beyond prompt in getting our photos back to us, and I think it goes without saying: her work is magnificent. All her time spent listening, suggesting, and understanding in the months leading up really meant that she documented our day in a way we wouldn't have gotten from any other. It was authentic, sincere, and absolutely "us." We could not have pulled off our wedding without Rebecca in our corner, and I could not recommend her more highly. -

Rebecca did an amazing job at our wedding! Her pictures are beautiful and we are so grateful that she was a photographer. -

My wife and I couldn't recommend Rebecca enough! Save yourself some time talking to anyone else and just hire her. We considered and chatted with four different photographers. From the beginning, her level of service, rapid response to an email, and supportive approach made her our favorite wedding vendor. She captured every one of the specifically requested moments we wanted. On the same weekend, we were one of three weddings she photographed and she delivered our photos exactly three weeks after our ceremony. -

User2463278 Sent on 12/11/2015I didn't have a clear 'vision' for my wedding, nor was I brimming with excitement for being a bride -- mostly because I am a bit introverted and the thought of having everyone look at me, expecting beauty and poise, gave me minor heart palpitations. The idea of spending money to have someone take my picture (which I usually hate!) didn't exactly appeal to me either, but I knew I would want to preserve the memories of the day. After my initial meeting with Rebecca, I immediately felt at ease and practically even excited to make the most of my wedding day. Rebecca is a remarkable listener, and offered countless ideas and examples of what she could do creatively. I hired her on the spot during our first meeting -- I just honestly felt she 'got' me, and I completely trusted her to make me comfortable and to produce beautiful photos. My instincts in her case were spot on. Throughout the planning, Rebecca was incredibly responsive. She assembled an amazing team, showed up on time, and stayed for the whole day, hiking up and down mountain trails with all her equipment, snapping photos all the while. Her presence was a completely calming one, and as she shot photos, she put me and everyone else at ease, allowing us to relax and thoroughly enjoy the day. When she sent the photos shortly afterward, I was completely blown away by how well she had captured the day -- all my family and friends enjoying themselves, fantastic pictures of me and my husband (we aren't even very photogenic -- it was amazing!), all in the beautiful venue (Sequoia Retreat Center) in the redwoods. She offered the photos on multiple media, which made them easy to share with family and friends. The quality of the final albums she made for us is very high -- beautiful leather case, combined with high quality photo printing on thick pages. I can't say enough good things about Rebecca. Hiring her for my wedding was one of the best decisions I made! -
User2103988 Sent on 04/21/2015Rebecca has shot my professional head shot, my wedding, and my maternity shoot. She is amazing! She is so easy to work with, has tons of great ideas and a real vision for light and position. She even worked wonders with light at our beach ceremony despite my insistence that it be in the middle of the day when the light is not optimal. The wind was ferocious too and in most of the pictures you wouldn't know it! All of our staged shots are awesome and she and her assistant also captured so many beautiful and authentic candid shots that I love.
Rebecca is professional and kind and takes the time to get to know her subjects. Her pricing is affordable and she took a little extra time with touch ups on my headshot, which I really appreciated. I would highly recommend her for any type of photography! -

SHE IS AMAZING!!!
I was blessed enough to meet Rebecca at a Wedding Showcase in Santa Cruz some years ago. Our connection was instant. And I am fortunate enough to call her my friend. If you look at her pictures you will see that her skill is undeniable. She has an eye for art. She sees beauty in rare places. She captures color and light in a way I have never seen before. And she has the coolest sense of humor! 2 years ago, I asked Rebecca to take some shots of me. I went to her studio and found myself extremely shy – as I often am – in front of the camera! All I could see was this huge camera lens in my face, and the only thing I remembered to do was smile. But then Rebecca started talking to me, posing me, walking around with me. When I got back the proofs I was in shock! Those were honestly the best photos anyone has ever taken of me. SO, I knew the perfect person to help me with my Boudoir photos... Rebecca! I was paranoid about losing weight, having the perfect outfits, looking good. But Rebecca just instilled such confidence in me, and helped me to have a relaxed and fun time. I arrive at her studio, and she has a drink waiting for me. Thank goodness! I sure needed it. She walked me through the process. Gave me the appropriate amount of compliments to make me feel like I wasn’t such an elephant. And then started shooting - I love how she gets down on the floor with you, or shows you EXACTLY what she wants you to do. She’s not afraid to muss up my hair, or grab a piece of fabric and drape it over me for the “perfect shot.” She is tremendously talented! I’m pretty sure we ran over our studio time, but she had so much fun that it made me actually let loose and have fun myself. The end result? Perfection. The hubby loved it. And I looked insanely gorgeous, all thanks to Rebecca. Love you, girl.

User1313046 Sent on 09/03/2013Rebecca did a great job for us at our beach wedding. She took the lead in helping us with poses and shots that we would like. We felt like we had gotten a lot after about 45 minutes, but she was like, "You have me for an hour, let's get some more!" So we walked around and got some creative and fun photos. She processed them and got them back to us in two weeks! I love them! -
