    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.

    Was extremely happy with the photos from our wedding date. Becky was super helpful and outgoing.
    Now we have beautiful memories of our special day forever.

    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.

    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!

    Becky Brown Photography's reply:

    Thank you for the review! I wish we could have turned the temp down a bit for you, but it was an amazing day! Thank you for letting me be a part of it!

    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.

    A lovely day

    We had an amazing time taking photos all around the neighborhood and getting married in our local part, all arranged by Becky’s company. Becky is great and made us feel relaxed. We have so many great photos I still can’t decide which to get printed for display.

    Can't say enough amazing things about Becky!

    When we cancelled our destination wedding due to Covid-19, Becky and the team at Elope to Chicago were literally a godsend to us! We developed a beautiful ceremony in Maggie Daley garden. Becky has an incredible eye, she was so professional, and our pictures are absolutely stunning. We are so fortunate to have found Becky! I highly recommend her to other couples to capture your special day!!

    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!

    Becky Brown Photography's reply:

    Thanks Maddie! I appreciate the kind words. Working with you guys was a blast, even if it was in a middle of a pandemic! I'm glad someone benefited from me stalking the clerk's office and city hall for info about marriage licenses etc. ! Congrats again!

    Experience with Becky Brown Photography

    We found becky to be responsive and professional on our Elopement. She was extremely informative on COVID restrictions and where the best places to shoot from were. We loved that we were able to have the entire picture gallery as well. We would recommend her services to friends or family.

    Becky Brown Photography's reply:

    Thanks Dan! It was a pleasure working with you both and we wish you and Linh all the best as you start your married life together!

    Generous with her time and expertise!

    Becky was such a wonderful part of our wedding day! When we got engaged, we knew we wanted a small wedding at city hall, but we had no idea where to start. Becky was incredibly generous with her expertise-- she had great suggestions about logistics, timing, and venues and shared that information with us as we were trying to make our decisions. On the day of the wedding, Becky was amazing-- she was kind and flexible and extremely generous with her time. She also helped keep our 7-year-old entertained by having him play "assistant" when she needed an extra hand. Best of all, our photos are absolutely stunning. I have recommended Elope to Chicago to several friends, and will continue to do so! Becky is the best.

    Amazing photographer and person!

    If you are looking for the hardest working photographer in Chicago, you've come to the right place! Becky is down to earth, amazing at photography and will very quickly become a member of your family! Capturing your relationship during an engagement session or your big day should not be stressful, but that is so much easier said than done. Becky's personality helps to get the photos you are looking for and realistically assess the situation so you are able to enjoy the celebration you've spent so long planning! She is quick to adapt when things like weather or location maybe don't work out as you initially planned (trust me when I say we've seen it ALL with Becky from the heat to the rain to the snow!)

    We booked Becky after she photographed my sister's wedding and we were very impressed by her photos and enjoyed working with her. She has since photographed our good friend's wedding in addition to our own. She is doing fewer large weddings as time goes on, so if you are planning a bigger celebration be sure to reach out early! If a smaller, more intimate wedding is your thing , even better! Our wedding was 200 guests and our second shooter, Carrie, was great to have with us (her photos are also amazing)!

    Quality photography comes at a price, but Becky's pricing is truly on the more affordable end in comparison to many other photographers in the area and worth every penny. During your planning process you'll also find Becky's experience to come in handy in ways you may not have anticipated. She has great suggestions on additional vendors, timelines and even family dynamics (last thing you need is group photos causing a ruckus).

    Lastly, her prints are amazing. I didn't believe it until I saw the difference of buying prints from her vs. printing on our own - but there's a noticeable difference. She will occasionally have a sale on prints so be on the lookout for those if you don't purchase right away!

    Beautiful photos and a pleasure to work with

    Becky Brown Photography was excellent in every way for both our engagement photos and wedding photos. Becky and her assistant were organized, friendly, and a pleasure to work with. Communication was easy before, after, and during the wedding. Most importantly, our photos are absolutely beautiful!

    Breathtaking and Incredible Photos

    Working with Becky was the best decision we made when planning our small wedding. As an out-of-town couple, we especially appreciated Becky's help recommending photography locations around Chicago and her invaluable assistance putting together a wedding day schedule so that we got all the shots we wanted of our special day. Becky really went above and beyond to make everything perfect. The photos turned out so amazing, and our families continue to rave about them! We'd highly recommend Becky to any couple.

    The best decision I made (other than marrying my husband) !

    I hired Becky Brown as our wedding photographer via her Elope to Chicago website. My husband and I eloped downtown on a very cold day in October 2018. From the moment I inquired on her website her responses felt more like a friend trying to help a frantic bride try and figure out how to elope downtown that had already been through this. I had made so many changes and had gone back and forth on where to get married. She had shown me so many options in addition to her marketing materials and I owe it all to her as she was the one that pointed us in the direction of the small garden in Maggie Daley Park where we got married in October. My family still raves about her, and the great family photos we took. Her attention to detail was fantastic. I can't recommend her enough and I already had a friend from high school ask me if we eloped because they were interested in something very similar to what my husband and I did and I pointed them in Becky's direction.

    Fantastic!

    We absolutely loved the whole concept of "Elope to Chicago". Becky was fantastic and helpful. She really cared about our special day and helping us make it perfect. The photography was to perfection; many of our friends complimented how amazing the photography was for our special day; especially since we eloped and not everyone was there, they really got a sense of how beautiful it really was. Would recommend Becky to anyone!

    Absolutely Amazing!

    I am so happy that we had Becky as our wedding photographer! The very first time I chatted with her, she helped me determine the timeline for our wedding. On the day of the wedding, Becky and her assistant were both fantastic. They helped make sure everyone stayed on schedule and all the right moments were captured. They were also really fun to be around - which is super important when you're hanging out with your photographers all day!!! I loved that Becky put some preview photos up the next day. We recently got all of our images and I can't stop looking at them. I can't say enough about how awesome it was to work with Becky!

    Small wedding through Elope to Chicago

    Becky and her team were amazing. We had an imitate wedding (about 25 people) on the River Walk. Becky made my dreams come true with wedding pictures outside Wrigley Field. Becky was amazing from start to finish! She was always quick, friendly and informative. In addition to her wonderful personality her skills are amazing!

    Becky seamlessly captured our intimate wedding!

    Becky photographed our August 2018 intimate wedding. Booking Becky was the undoubtedly the best decision we made during wedding planning. Truly, this woman is in the dictionary next to professional, conscientious, creative, and funny! From the start, we were impressed with how easy it was to communicate with Becky via email. She was so patient with our questions and offered suggestions that helped us with our timeline and overall event flow. The booking process was very simple and able to be done online (we so appreciated that!).

    On the day of the wedding, it was such a relief to have someone as organized and calm as Becky! She followed the timeline we’d worked out together and got in all the shots we requested! My husband will even tell you that his favorite part of our wedding day was shooting around the city with Becky – mostly because it felt like were hanging out with a friend!

    When initially looking at photographers, we were piqued by Becky’s style (contemporary, photojournalistic, creative – but not too sullen or overly edgy). When we received our wedding photos, we were thrilled that our photos reflected the “look” we were hoping to achieve. Bonus: The photos arrived in a timely manner and well organized! Becky – thank you! We so appreciate all the work you put into capturing our wedding day!

    Becky was very professional. Our pictures came out great and we were so happy with everything.

    Becky was great! She always returned my phone calls in a timely manner and she was very easy to work with. Our guests also mentioned how much they liked her. She was reasonably priced and she stayed a good 45 minutes past her ending time because guests were requesting couple and family pictures. She was so professional, her prices were great, and we could not have been happier with the quality of our pictures.

    Becky is absolutely amazing! She is a very talented photographer as well as a very kind and caring person! Both are qualities you want and need for your wedding. We first new we loved Becky when we met her at my friend's wedding. She was everywhere she needed to be and was offering to take pictures of guests. This is an amazing quality of a wedding photographer that really stood out to us. Then she took our engagement pics for us in the rain and they still turned out beautiful! She did an amazing job at our wedding and we had numerous compliments on her and our wedding photos from our guests. My sister has already booked her for her wedding as well!

    Amazing, creative, everything I wanted

    I am so happy with Becky Brown Photography and Elope to Chicago. Everyone that has seen my pictures has said they all look “bridal magazine worthy” or “the best wedding pictures” they’ve ever seen. I agree! Becky hustled around at my very small wedding in a tight space and got so many great photos. I couldn’t believe them when I saw them. I didn’t remember her being in my face or constantly around, yet the pictures are from every angle and beautiful. She worked with our tight schedule and just totally crushed it! Oh and did I mention, we got married on a boat with background and lighting changing at literally every second? She is amazing. I would be very happy to recommend her to anyone, without hesitation, for their event or shoot. We love you Becky!!!!

    Becky was our photographer for our May wedding, and she was great! She showed up on time with her second shooter and was attentive the whole day. She was also easy to get a hold of and responsive throughout the entire planning process. I recommend her to anyone in the Chicagoland area!
