Great, Natural Photographer

We had a wonderful experience with Rebecca as our wedding photographer! She was warm and made us feel comfortable from the beginning - and neither my partner nor myself are used to being photgraphed and posing! She made everything feel natural and got lots of beautiful photos. She was willing to go along with the flow for our entire day. Definitely would recommend!

Wholeheartedly Recommend!

Rebecca was amazing! She made us feel comfortable. She also captured our day beautifully! I wouldn’t describe myself as photogenic, but she captured some great pictures of me. I am so glad we found her! Our pictures were delivered in a timely manner, too!

Don't Hesitate to Hire Rebecca!

We had our wedding in November 2019. One of the best decisions we made was to hire Rebecca. From the moment we submitted the request for pricing and had an initial phone call, we knew she would be perfect to photograph our wedding. Upon looking at her previous photos compared to other photographers, hers just looked better.

She was incredibly flexible (especially on the day of the ceremony!), professional, and the photos turned out amazing. We knew she was there, we have the photos to prove it, but she blended in the entire night and you never really noticed she was there, which made for some great candid photos as well.

You have enough to decide on when planning the details of your wedding - if you want one that you do not have to worry about, hire Rebecca.

Beautiful candid and formal photos

Rebecca was one of our favorite vendors (even my family raves about her to this day)! She was so thorough with details, asking questions to understand what was most important to us for our wedding photos. She was excited to work with our dogs :) Rebecca even stepped up and helped the groomsmen with their boutonnières! My husband and I were uncomfortable with the formal posed photos but Rebecca made us feel at ease and made it fun! She captured so many candid moments, which were most important to us, but still was always ready to take another formal photo when I realized I wanted another pic with a different group of family or friends. So grateful we found her and were able to trust her to capture all the special moments from our wedding.

Great Photographer! Pleasure to work with!

Rebecca did an amazing job photographing our wedding. We love the candid dance floor photos and couples portraits. Rebecca was a pleasure to work with - responsive, receptive to our suggestions, and made us and our guests feel comfortable. We would definitely recommend her to others!

Awesome photographer!

Rebecca shot our wedding in October 2018 and she did a stellar job! Her photos turned out so unique and really captured the essence of our wedding. She was fun to work with, had positive youthful energy, and was flexible with our requests. Becca also surprised us with a private night time shoot with fancy lights and sparklers that really put the cherry on top of our photo experience. 10/10 would do again!

When we first started looking at photographers, especially within our price range, we weren't blown away by any of the photos or their portfolios. They were all serviceable, but we didn't really fall in love with any of them until we saw Rebecca's work! There was so much emotion and joy that was captured in her photos that we immediately thought she was the one we wanted to go with. When we met with her, she immediately made us feel comfortable and we ultimately felt like she would be the perfect match for us. Plus, she loved dogs!!!

We had our engagement shoot with her and we were a little nervous at first, but she helped to pose us and we finally loosened up and had some fun. We got a ton of great engagement photos all around downtown Troy. She even waded through some deep snow to get a few shots. That's dedication right there!

On our wedding day, she took a bunch of portraits of us and our family, but also was flexible enough to go to the roof of the building with us to take some gorgeous pics. She also got some great sunset shots and really helped to capture a bunch of great moments at the wedding. Can't wait to see them all!!

Rebecca was so sweet, so easy-gong, and just so fun to have around that day. We were so happy with our decision!

My fiancé & I really enjoyed working with Rebecca for our engagement photos! I posted on a Saturday that I was looking for a local photographer to shoot our photos, on Sunday she emailed me personally to let me know she had some ideas for the area we were interested in shooting, on Wednesday I contacted her to confirm we wanted to hire her, on Thursday she called to discuss what type of photos we were interested in, on Friday she called to say she had researched local attractions and could meet with us the following day for the shoot, on Saturday we met with her for the first time and had our photo session, on Monday night (2 days later!) she emailed me the edited photos in an album ready to download - incredible turn around and the photos turned out so nice! We told her we wanted non-traditional creative photos and she delivered! We told her we were going to have our wedding in Canada and she researched flowers to bring for our photo shoot that would fit the Canadian theme (did you know that the fleur-de-lis symbol is based on a species of wild iris? I didn't until Rebecca researched it and showed up to our photo shoot with silk iris' to incorporate into our shoot). We told her our honeymoon was going to be in Morocco so she researched Moroccan photographers so she could incorporate their style into our photo shoot. She spent extra time with us that afternoon and delivered more finished photos then we had contracted her for, all for a very competitive price! We really enjoyed spending the afternoon with her, I'm looking forward to booking her again in a couple of years for some family portraits as we grow our family. I highly recommend Rebecca's services!

Our wedding photos came out amazing! When I planned for the big day, I really looked far and wide for the perfect photographer. It was a bit difficult due to the wedding date being so soon. That's when I met Rebecca. I looked over her work and thought she's perfect. I wanted photos that captured the magical moments on Cesar and I's special day and Rebecca excelled my expectations. She's patient, creative, and very accommodating to our requests. She stuck out in the cold to take our portraits and at some points laid in the snow for some killer shots of our personal items. I definitely will work with her again in the future. Hopefully it won't be as cold as it was on my wedding day. If so, I can only expect that Rebecca would do another fantastic job.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
