About

As most wedding photographers will tell you, I love what I do. I love photographing couples in love and sharing their big day with them and their families. I love capturing the connection between two people as they vow to spend their lives together and all the special details and moments that make up their wedding day. My goal is to create images from the day that will allow my couples to relive it whenever they open their album.

I specialize in smaller weddings and elopements, but do take a few larger weddings each year as well.

I have a clean, modern journalistic approach to my work. I enjoy working with all kinds of couples - no two weddings are the same! I am based out of the midwest (Chicago), but will travel anywhere. I grew up in Southern Indiana so travel there is included as I still shoot a few wedding a year there.

Elopement coverage starts at $850 (weekdays) $1200 (weekends). Full Wedding day coverage starts at $3500.Please email me for a more detailed pricing list.

Thanks Becky!

Becky was amazing! She knew everything about navigating a City Hall wedding: what to bring, when to get there, which entrance to use, and where to take the best photos. She gave great direction, made everyone in the party feel comfortable, and captured some great shots. We’re so glad we had her!

Literally the Best!

Becky is literally the best. We could not have had a better photographer for our wedding. We were so nervous to take wedding photos. We are a plus sized couple and were definitely worried about being photographed well. She did perfect. Instructed us on how to pose and made posing not feel so intimidating. She was also really great at blending in when roaming the room to take candid shots. I will continue to recommend Becky Brown Photography every chance I get. She was so great and the photos were so beautiful

Best micro wedding photographer ever!

We can’t say enough amazing things about Becky! We were recommended to her by our wedding venue, Big Delicious Planet, as she focuses on micro weddings. We did an engagement session with Becky after reviewing a few previous clients full wedding galleries and they matched the vibe we were hoping for our pictures. We also had a Zoom chat prior to engagement session to get to know her a little bit and confirm she was the photographer for us. Becky made us comfortable right away during engagement pictures and taught us smiling and posing techniques so we didn’t look or feel awkward. For our June 2023 wedding we scheduled Becky for 6 hours for first look, 3 photo stops throughout Chicago, and finally our ceremony + reception. She was great at communicating what we should be doing to capture pictures that made us and the City look great. We had a pre planned photo list for family pictures and she quickly called out groups from the list to make it was an easy process. We have gotten nothing but amazing feedback on our photos. We can’t thank Becky enough for capturing our day and giving us lifelong memories of the most perfect day.

$2,900 included engagement session and 6 hours of wedding day coverage.

Amazing Experience!

Becky photographed our intimate wedding last week, and the sneaks we recieved are top quality. She was great to work with, very genuine and easy going. We would recommend her to anyone for their small wedding and/or elopement photos!

Absolutely Fantastic

We decided to leave Florida and elope in Chicago. Becky made it effortless and stress free. The whole team was fantastic! We have wonderful memories from our special day and thanks to the Elope to Chicago crew, it was the most lovely experience possible.

Incredible Microwedding Day

We couldn't be happier with our choice to work with Becky for our tiny wedding day! As an out of town couple, we needed someone who knew their way around the city and could recommend other vendors. We also went through a lot of stressful experiences (date changes, wedding party issues, immediate family having flight delays...), so leading up to our wedding, we were pretty overwhelmed! Becky was such a warm, calm, and all around supportive presence. She made us laugh, carried my flowers/dress when needed, and fulfilled all our special photo requests. And the photos!!!! We got NINETEEN previews delivered the night of our wedding that just made us cry. We can't wait to see the rest, and would so, so highly recommend working with Becky and the Elope to Chicago team to anyone looking to have a smaller affair in the city of Chicago.

Change of Plans - No Problem!

Our original wedding plan was to get married at Chicago City Hall in August 2020. With Covid, City Hall was not offering the same experience and we decided to get married elsewhere. Becky suggested a few other places around the city and we ultimately chose South Pond in Lincoln Park. It was a perfect summer day, we were all sweating by end of our ceremony and pictures. Becky was amazing to work with. She felt like an old friend who was happy to work with my no so into photos husband! Although we chose Elope Chicago due to their City Hall Experience, I wouldn't change a thing even though our plans were changed. Thank you, Becky & Elope Chicago!

10/10 would recommend!

Where do I even begin?! First, I recommend following Becky's Elope to Chicago Instagram account! Throughout the pandemic, she was quick to keep us informed of the ever-changing COVID guidelines and what that meant for elopements/microweddings.

She is knowledgeable on all things Chicago! I live in Chicago, but the information Becky provided was invaluable. She offered wonderful recommendations on areas that are less crowded and more intimate for the ceremony location. She also helped me narrow down hotel options that were walking-distance from the restaurant where we were celebrating afterwards. She answered all my questions thoroughly, and her response time is quick. She is a great resource to have during the planning process!

Becky has this special quality that makes her feel like a friend you've had for years! I'm usually an anxious person, but Becky helped me feel comfortable and relaxed on our wedding day. Because of this, I feel like she truly captured our personalities through her photos. From her website and social media, I knew her work was professional and high-quality. But when we received our gallery, I was stunned!!! Looking through the album, I felt like I was reliving my wedding day -- the best day ever!

Becky and her Elope to Chicago team receive my highest recommendation!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
