Thank you to Rebecca Marie Photography for for doing an outstanding job photographing our wedding and engagement shoot. Vanessa and JaNae were our photographers, and they kept the energy going all day, kept us on schedule, and went above and beyond in helping in with the smallest details. Both photographers checked in with us regarding details Rebecca had put together during our planning meetings and I always felt like we were on the same page. We couldn't have asked for a better duo for our wedding! The album that we received and package we paid for also were of great value.

Rebecca was so helpful in talking through the wedding timeline, and providing great feedback to make everything ran smoothly. We worked with JaNae and Vanessa day of, both of whom were so friendly and comforting. We had wonderful photos taken throughout Chicago, and my friends and family were so impressed! If you are looking for photographers who make you look and feel good on your wedding day, these ladies are the right pick!

We did both our wedding photography and engagement photography with RMP. Rebecca and her staff were amazing to work with from start to finish. Kina and Diallo photographed our wedding and Rebecca handled all the editing and logistics, including putting together our wedding album which is absolutely gorgeous. The photos somehow look even better printed out which is saying something because they look gorgeous digitally as well, so make sure to order lots of prints (the matte paper is to die for). Not only are the photos gorgeous but Rebecca really makes sure that you are happy with your wedding photos by sending you a detailed questionnaire to fill out about what shots you want to have and who you want included. RMP really made us feel at ease on our wedding day and we are very happy with how our photos turned out. We can not recommend RMP highly enough!!

As someone who works in the industry, I have certainly seen my fair share of good and, unfortunately, bad vendors of all sorts - including photographers. So, as I helped my sister plan her wedding in 2017, I directed her to Rebecca to capture her downtown Chicago wedding. As expected, Rebecca was absolutely amazing. Fast-forward to 2018, I got engaged and quickly (like, within a week) contacted Rebecca for our engagement photos. Since we were planning a destination / out of the country wedding, at the time, I had booked a local photographer thinking that was the thing to do ... but after the engagement session we decided to book Rebecca for our wedding weekend, too, and OMG, best decision ever. It's been just about 3 weeks since our wedding, and we've already seen previews and sneak peeks, ahead of our official reveal next month. Rebecca is like an extended member of the family, and I can't imagine anyone else stepping in to capture such intimate moments for us like the wedding weekend. Not only is she amazing behind the camera, she continued to remind me to take it all in and to slow down throughout the day. Her photos focus on the little moments in-between which are so unique and authentic. Can't WAIT to see the rest of our photos!

Rebecca is as cool as she is talented. She met us for engagement photos a few months before our wedding. Aside from the engagement photos being 100 percent on-point, we genuinely had a blast with her during the session and thought to ourselves, "welp, she is an awesome human." But it was not until our wedding day when we realized how important it was to have an awesome human on the photography front. Elderly grandparents. Tired toddlers. Bridal party in 95 degree heat. So many things could have gone awry. Instead, on our wedding day, everyone was smiling from start to finish -- and they weren't fake cheesin'. Like our engagement photo session, the wedding day photos were far more enjoyable than I would have ever imagined. After the wedding, two groomsmen (separately) asked me for Rebecca's contact info because they "loved her vibe" and "want to use her when they get married." If you're reading this post and looking for a photographer, the only remotely justifiable reason to not use Rebecca is if she is not available on your date. Truth.

Rebecca and her team did an absolutely phenomenal job capturing the most special moments of our wedding day at Cafe Brauer in March 2019. I can say with confidence she and her team were the best part of our wedding day team. Dealing with 40 degree weather and rain downtown Chicago was no easy feat but they made it work with our goals in mind and I can say that only getting to do a few photos outside was not at all disappointing. Rebecca truly felt like a part of the family on our wedding day and made a point to give us reminders to take brief moments to ourselves to take everything in on such a busy day. We couldn't have asked for more beautiful photos that captured such memorable moments. Her attention to detail and engaging nature made the day spent with her truly enjoyable. Rebecca's unique tradition of having a photo viewing party within six weeks of the wedding made all of the memories more real! We would recommend Rebecca and her team to everyone! We look forward to working with them again in the future! Rebecca - hopefully we find ourselves in the Quad Cities for some pizza someday. :)

We just met with Rebecca today to view our photos from our wedding and I cannot tell you how much I love these photos!!! Her style is exactly what I wanted, softer more natural photos with a good mix of the standard portraits that our family wanted and the more photojournalistic look that I like. She also does this amazing thing that, as far as I can tell, no one else does. She makes a mock up of your wedding album before you even get your pictures. This was amazing. We got to see the potential album and decide if we liked the overall flow and then replace photos here and there when we preferred something different. This process has taken our friends hours and hours to go through photos and it took us a little time to look at in advance and an hour - hour and a half to go through it with Rebecca. And now we'll have our album in a month, only two months after our wedding! This is unheard of! Rebecca was great to work with through our engagement session and on our wedding day. She had the whole process under control and kept us on track. Once everything got started I barely noticed her but somehow she managed to get amazing photos of our whole day. Her and her assistant Vanessa were great to be around and so helpful throughout the process. I made the photographer decision as soon as we had a date confirmed because this was the most important vendor to me. The first time I talked to Rebecca we talked for 90 minutes. We just hit it off right away. I am so happy with the decision I made and that I made it early enough to book my first choice. I truly cannot recommend her enough!

Truly exceptional, professional, personal and one-of-a kind. Sincerely cannot say enough good things about our experience with Gold Grid Studios, who came on recommendation from our friends that selected them for their own wedding two years earlier. My husband and I had a great partnership with Derek, the studio manager, from the beginning, who coordinated all the details from a far (as our wedding was in Chicago and we live in Los Angeles). Alissa's portfolio speaks for its self, capturing special moments so beautifully. So many of our pictures are beautiful candid moments, which we requested and have completely fallen in love with all over again, as they tell our wedding story. Beyond the beautiful pictures, the professionalism, kindness, and cleaver tools to make us feel at ease were beyond our wildest dreams. Our second photographer, JayNee, was a great pairing and helped capture those moments from a different perspective. We had several guests come up to us after and during the wedding about how amazing our photographers were, and we couldn't agree more. We love that we are now a part of the Gold Grid family and would recommend them to anyone.

Gold Grid provides the white-glove service that everyone deserves and the photographs that everyone will treasure.

From start to finish, the service, quality, and professionalism is exquisite. And that's not even touching how swoon-worthy the photos are! My husband and I had the pleasure of working with the Gold Grid team for our engagement and wedding photos and we could not have been happier.

We worked with Derek and Rebecca on the details of the day, they are a great sounding board for your ideas and offer suggestions to make the experience even better. Our photographers, Michelle and Vanessa, were so fun to work with; they are friendly and professional, putting everyone at ease.

At the end of both our engagement session and wedding day, we had zero reservations that the our photos would capture some of the most exciting moments in our lives in a way that would be breathtakingly beautiful and timeless.

If you have come across Gold Grid Studios, then you should look no further because you have hit the jackpot.

Hire this woman right now! Stop reading reviews. Stop making lists. Stop looking at portfolios. Rebecca is the one you want! She and her staff are amazing! Rebecca and her team have a way of making you feel like family and that your day is the most important in the world! Her personality is made for this job! She is spectacular behind the camera, but it's everything else Rebecca brings to your day that makes her without a doubt the most valuable vendor you will hire! If you aren't sold yet and are still making a list, note that many things that are extras with other photographers are included with Rebecca Marie. Rebecca gave us everything we had hoped for and more- we can't thank her enough!
