de la Fontaine Photography

Wow. The MOST important thing, for you (reader of this review): hire Rebekah immediately. Seriously, I cannot stress how important this person in this role was to us for our wedding. I had heard so many horror stories of people getting bad pictures back, and never being able to recapture those moments, that I *needed* to know I was getting someone solid. To emphasize how particular I am, and how important it was for us to have a fantastic photographer: I contacted around 20 photographers for our wedding, "interviewed" 14, requested portfolios from 8, and landed CONFIDENTLY on Rebekah. I'm going to do my best to keep this review brief so you don't have to read a novel to appreciate how amazing she is.

I truly could go on and on about Rebekah and how crucial she was to our wedding process. Yes, you heard it--THE WHOLE PROCESS. I'll have to make this review a two-parter because she is a remarkable (that itself doesn't even capture it) photographer and also just a support system throughout the wedding planning because she has so much experience in the field.

So first, her photography. I believe I once called her a magical fairy. We, thankfully, had Rebekah as our photographer for both our engagement session and wedding day. This girl, on both occasions, got us sneak peaks within an hour. She would also show us pictures on her camera, while we were shooting, that were absolutely insane without edit. This wasn't something she promised, or we expected, but she's just that good.
The photos speak for themselves. The light, the angles, the views, the capturing of our best but also genuine and candid selves and the little subtle moments you don't ever want to forget--that's what Rebekah captures in her pictures.

Second, her support. I didn't bargain for this as part of hiring Rebekah, but WOW did we get a deal in having her serve in this capacity. Beyond her photography, which honestly in itself was more than enough for the cost, Rebekah was involved and supportive throughout the process. When I say support, I mean Rebekah provided advice for our day-of wedding schedule (I did not have a wedding planner or coordinator so this was huge), mapped our our engagement shoot, gave suggestions for other vendors, asked around her contacts if I had a non-photography question, and was always asking "what can I do?" when she absolutely had not obligation to do more than what she was paid to do. As an example, my then-fiancé and I had no real idea where we wanted to have our engagement session. Rebekah asked us what vibe we were going for and from there gave us a substantial list of phenomenal locations she recommended. Having now the hindsight to review all of our vendors, who were by and large all good, Rebekah was BY FAR the most invested in making sure she was giving us what was wanted and needed. She is professional, wonderful, and talented. Hire her. You will have zero regrets.

Rebekah: Shawn and I were so blessed to have you as part of our day. Pizza and brews again one day!!

I'm speechless. I've been putting off this review because I'm honestly at a loss for words trying to explain how incredible De La Fontaine Photography is. As soon as I started wedding planning I knew the most important thing for me was to get beautiful photos of our special day and my expectations were exceeded and blown out the roof! I found De La Fontaine Photography online and fell in love, I knew I had to have Rebekah as my photographer so I decided to pay the extra fee to fly her out here (to Colorado). I was a little worried about being able to communicate enough from another state, but Rebekah suggested we FaceTime and that worked out perfectly! She always took her time and genuinely cared and wanted the best for me and my husband. Rebekah eased my anxious wedding planning mind and helped me not only plan out what photos I wanted, but helped me plan non-photography related things like my day-of timeline. Since she has seen first hand how long certain wedding events take she was able to help me adjust my timeline. Plus we could plan photos for the time of day with the best lighting which made for super magical dreamy photos. From the moment Rebekah showed up (early which I really appreciated) I felt comfortable with her which is good because we jumped right into some boudoir photos. I thought I would feel awkward and not know how to pose, but Rebekah had so many helpful suggestions while still hearing what I wanted. Her husband, Trevor, was her assistant for my wedding which was so fun! They made us feel so special and we actually had a lot of fun together. Rebekah is very professional, friendly, and VERY talented. We got our photos back earlier than expected and we got a ton more photos than we expected!!! It was the best surprise ever. I can't even explain how much the photos mean to me, I will cherish them my whole life. Every photo has beautiful details. Even when we were stuck with harsh, bright lighting, she was able to capture beautiful photos! I am eternally grateful for De la Fontaine Photography. If you're thinking about hiring Rebekah, know that you would be lucky to have her and that you'd be in good hands.

I really had an amazing experience with Rebekah! She really put the personal touch on the whole ordeal. She shot photos for our wedding and boy was I pleased. I'm a larger girl with self confidence issues I'm also not a fan of being the center of attention. So naturally, I was nervous.

She's amazing at helping you relax, feel like a star, and taking the photo worry out of your big day.

I know one of my biggest challenges of planning the wedding was, well, planning it! I've literally never done anything like this and it made me truly feel overwhelmed. That changed with Rebekah. When we hired her she was open to help out wherever she could. Suggestions, tips, you name it. She truly is a ray of sunshine.

The wedding photos and engagement photos really made me feel beautiful. I've never had such a smooth experience. They truly came out beautiful.

To anyone on the fence, do it. She has changed to smaller more intimate weddings and elopments, but she really has a kind heart, dedication, a great eye, and helps the day feel magical.
