    Fantastic experience!!

    When COVID messed up our wedding plans, we changed to a local courthouse wedding in Hillsborough instead. We found Becci, and she was perfect! Responsive, flexible, and professional. We booked an elopement package with her. She was familiar with the area, and knew exactly where to take us after our ceremony to take some pictures and they turned out amazing! She shared the edited photos with us very quickly. Not to mention during the photo shoot, she helped us feel relaxed and captured some very genuine smiles. We are so glad we found Becci!

    Amazing team of photographers!

    From the day we met Becci and her team, they were so kind and professional. Kristin shot our engagement photos and was magic! She made us feel so comfortable and really made it fun. Rachel and Kristin shot our wedding and were AMAZING. They brought a great energy to the day and we are so grateful. They did a great job corralling our large family and we are so tickled with the photos. We will truly cherish them forever. Thank you RA&Co!

    An Actual Covid Miracle

    Between losing the wedding we'd spent almost a year planning, our vendors, and just about every ounce of hope that we were going to have a wedding, very little has gone to plan during the time of covid. However, without our entire wedding world falling apart, we never would have gotten to book and work with Becci. Besides marriage, she is absolutely the best thing that happened to us.

    Becci is incredibly professional, flexible, and an all-around joy to work with. We had a lot of moving pieces with our courthouse wedding (including a roaming toddler), and Becci (a) managed a hectic group and (b) got some rockstar pictures to boot. She is currently high up in our family's most-liked person list, which is a difficult list to be on.

    Whatever your wedding looks like, Becci will do it justice and then some.

    Beautiful photos!

    We are very fortunate to have had Becci as our wedding photographer. Becci captured our wedding day - the people, the emotions, the moments - so beautifully! We have been scrolling through her photo gallery on repeat and will probably continue to do so for days to come. It is so hard to pick favorite photos when they are all so good. We not only appreciate Becci's skillful work but had so much fun in the process from taking engagement photos to our wedding day. As two people who are not the most natural in front of the camera, she put us at ease and we are grateful to have this documentation of our wedding day.

    Becci is incredible!

    Becci is a fantastic photographer! From day 1, she was professional, communicative, fun, and down-to-earth. We live in California, and she made the extra effort to meet up and get to know us when we were in town several months before the wedding. She was in touch with us before the wedding to make sure everything went smoothly, and showed up early on our day. She struck the perfect balance between directing us and just letting us do our thing, and the photos show it. Whether it was grabbing us water, patiently and professionally coordinating all the family formals (ha), or pulling out the essential Tide pen when I stained the front of my wedding dress (!), Becci was super supportive and there for us. And I haven't even mentioned the actual photos yet! They were absolutely STUNNING. We are thrilled by how beautiful they turned out and how she managed to capture the genuine emotions of the day. We just went through them all again and I nearly teared up remembering the joy and elation of the day and seeing it illuminated so brilliantly on our faces and those of our guests. I honestly can't recommend her enough -- we are forever grateful!

    Outstanding photos that beautifully captured our wedding

    Becci exceeded all of our expectations (which were high, as I do a fair amount of photography myself and am also very particular about how I look in photos). She is incredibly responsive and easy to work with. She takes beautiful candid photos that captured all of the emotion of the wedding day without needing to spend the day posing for photos. We did a first look with her before the ceremony, and were able to be completely present with our guests during our cocktail reception and entire wedding while still getting plenty of outstanding photos of us from the event. Becci is also so patient and kind - she even sacrificed her yellow raincoat for me, laying it on the group to preserve my dress!! I can’t say enough good things. Thank you Becci, for capturing our event so beautifully.

    Absolutely the best!

    We first met Becci at our friends wedding and quickly fell in love with her and the pictures from their wedding! A couple years later when it was our turn, it wasn't a hard decision about who we wanted as our photographer! Becci traveled with to Virginia for our wedding and we couldn't be happier with the photos. From our engagement photos to planning to the actually day of our wedding, Becci was easy to communicate with, relaxed and on the day of our wedding felt more like a friend than a vendor. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a wedding photographer!

    Lovely photos, taken by a kind and professional team

    We loved working with Becci for both our engagement photoshoot and our wedding! Becci is warm and kind and did a great job of putting us at ease throughout all of the picture-taking. From creative pics of our treehouse venue to more traditional formal portraits, her photos (and those of her second shooter) were absolutely gorgeous and captured the joy of our wedding day perfectly. We loved working with her and are so grateful to have these lovely photos as a memento of our wedding day.

    Unparalleled professionalism, talent, and people skills

    We cannot say enough nice things about Becci and her team! She was absolutely wonderful to work with! As two people who do not like to have their picture taken, Becci made us feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. She had us laughing and smiling- everything felt so natural! We also have an extensive family, and she took the time at the reception to take shots of each “combination”, without it feeling tedious and tiresome. Finally, as an out of town bride and groom, she made the process so easy. Becci was quick to respond to our many emails and questions while providing thoughtful and thorough guidance and support. I never had a doubt that we had made the right choice. We hope to hire Becci again some day for family portraits of our own!

    Amazing and Reliable

    I can't say enough about how wonderful Rebecca is. She is super responsive, punctual, flexible, has a great eye, and just delivers! We had our engagement and wedding photos with her and she just made each session fun and easy. We had never had professional photos done before but she was so helpful in guiding us through them. The photos all turned out so beautiful and really captured our wedding day perfectly. Highly recommend!

    Kind, flexible, fun, incredibly talented - the perfect photographer

    We could not have loved working with Becci any more. She is the kindest, warmest, most thoughtful person you’ll ever meet. Not to mention the quality of her photos! We are obsessed with every single one!! Both the indoor photos and outside ones we received are equally beautiful and she really captured the love we felt on our wedding day.

    Becci went out of her way to make us smile, laugh, and feel comfortable, and we truly can’t imagine having worked with anyone else. When our wedding was postponed due to a hurricane, Becci was offered endless support, patience, and understanding. We can not recommend her highly enough!

    Loved, loved, loved working with Becci!

    Becci was an absolute pleasure to work with! As an out-of-state couple, she always prioritized our visits, was unbelievably flexible with our budget, and beyond kind with every email. Her portfolio is stunning and we have fallen in love with the sneak peeks she sent our way.

    We knew the first time we spoke with Rebecca, she was the one. And we couldn't be happier with her amazing talent! Rebecca was a master at capturing all our emotions that were overflowing on our very special day! We were giddy with excitement, and her fun-loving, humorous demeanor allowed us to feel completely natural in front of her lens. She took us to incredible places throughout Duke Gardens—the trees hugged us, while the light danced around us. And she captured it all! We are blessed that she was our wedding photographer!

    I am so thrilled to have chosen Rebecca Ames Photography. She was a delight to work with start to finish, was so flexible in putting together a package, and was very helpful with her input on timeline and photo locations. Our photos surpassed my expectations and really captured the joy of the day. I hope to work with her again and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any local engaged couples!

    My husband and I highly recommend working with Becci after our experience with her as our wedding photographer! We loved how effortlessly Becci took the photos, which meant ‘picture time’ didn’t drag. It all felt so natural, not forced. She came up with great ideas for amazing and fun photos, and also was fully on board with our ideas of taking photos at places significant to our relationship on UNC’s campus. Her assistant Christy worked with the groom and groomsmen while they got ready - she really understood ‘dudes’ and took that into account when taking their photos. And of course the photos themselves turned out amazing! Becci really captured the spirit of the whole day, gave us a wonderful variety of photos, her quality cannot be beaten, and even her website was easy to use for viewing/ordering prints! Thank you, Rebecca Ames Photography!!

    After going through our wedding pictures, we cannot imagine that someone could have captured this day any better. If you had never met us or any of our friends or family, all you would have to do is look through these pictures and you would see each and every personality shine through. Rebecca Ames photography must have been in about eight places at once! It is also worth mentioning that she had a herniated disc in her back (we didn't find out until days later because she didn't want us to worry), but that didn't stop her from being on her feet for an entire day so that we would have memories for a lifetime. We also got all our completed, edited pictures back (over 2,000) in exactly 5 weeks. Judging by what we know about the industry standard, that is lightning fast!

    Thank you for everything and making this day one that we will never forget!

    If you want to have every moment at your wedding captured (seriously), then call Rebecca!

    Becci is an amazing person and photographer!!! We were so lucky to have her during our engagement session and on our wedding day! From the moment of contact, Becci was very knowledgeable and was a great guide helping us choose our wedding package. It was very easy to communicate with her as she was very efficient at responding to our questions and emails.

    Becci's photo style was exactly what we wanted for our wedding photography. She takes amazing photos with a lot of natural light. On our wedding day, Becci and her intern were never intrusive and stayed from start to finish. Even though our wedding day had some rain and clouds, Becci was able to utilize the natural light to capture some gorgeous and romantic photos. We also loved that she was able to capture the theme of our wedding and all of the little details we spent months planning. Becci is truly talented, and we are so thankful that our one special day was captured by Rebecca Ames Photography! We certainly will use her for any future professional photography needs.

    I give my absolute highest rating to Rebecca Ames Photography! She was fantastic to work with from start to finish. She was prompt in responding, hopped on the phone with me many times (as I was planning my wedding from a different state) and met with me and my husband in person. There are so many options for wedding photography out there, and I can honestly say that choosing Rebecca to do our wedding photography was one of the best and easiest decisions I made throughout the whole wedding process. She is kind, easy-going and puts her whole heart into capturing your special moments. It shows in the art that she creates! She approaches her work with the upmost care, showing up early, asking thoughtful questions, she was so thorough! Her intern, Christy, was skillfully involved and willing to help with anything on the day of. She captured some of our favorite pictures as well. Rebecca was calming to me when I was feeling the overwhelming emotional charge of the day. Being a bride who was slightly nervous about having the focus be on me, and having so many pictures taken of me, Rebecca's calm and compassionate demeanor set me as ease. Looking back at our pictures 6 months later, I am so thankful for Rebecca and her intern Christy for their unique and skillful eye for photography. Working with Rebecca was the best decision I made. Her final product is stunning and I promise you'll be WAY more than satisfied if you hire Rebecca!

    Hiring Becci as our photographer is one of the best decisions my husband and I made during the process of planning our wedding. As we were planning our North Carolina wedding from NYC our communication with Becci was conducted via email, phone calls and a Skype session. She was always on top of her game, friendly and professional.
    It was very important for her to get to know us as a couple and the photos bore the proof - in addition to capturing all the joy and emotions of the day she captured our sense of humor. She also did her homework when it came to capturing our day - she visited the church in advance so she could check out the lighting and she requested a video of our first dance rehearsal so she could be prepared to capture key moments - one of the best photos of the whole day was a moment she captured from our first dance.
    In addition to her talent behind the camera, I can't imagine having a nicer person by my side on an important day. Becci's energy is exactly what I needed: warm, generous and genuinely excited for us without adding any pressure or stress. She seamlessly integrated into every setting, making our relatives and guests feel relaxed and comfortable. She was friendly and efficient when capturing all our family photos before the ceremony - we actually finished ahead of schedule and a number of guests commented on painless and fun it ended up being. With the extra time on our hands, Becci took my husband and I to a wooded area near the church to capture some beautiful portraits before the ceremony.
    We knew that Becci was the perfect choice for us after speaking with her on the phone and every step of the process reaffirmed our decision. I expected to come out with a handful of really good photos from the day but Becci's talent has given us more amazing shots than we know what to do with - how lucky we are that she was there to capture this day!

    Where do I even begin?! Becci is AMAZING! We had a really wonderful experience during both our engagement session and on our wedding day and, most importantly, the pictures were all we ever wanted and more! She is professional, responsive, kind hearted and goes the extra mile to make sure your pictures (and your experience) are perfect. On our wedding day she was everywhere at once and yet never obtrusive or intrusive. We couldn't have picked a better person to capture our big day and will be using Rebecca Ames Photography for any future professional photography needs.

    I can't say enough wonderful things about working with Becci- she was one of the best choices I ever made with regard to my wedding! I had a small intimate wedding ceremony at my parents' home with just my husband and our immediate families- 12 people in all- and the next weekend, we had a large reception at a venue with just about 200 people. Becci was with us every step of the way! I am still simply amazed in the way that Becci captured the essence of both celebrations without missing a beat. If you are planning a small, intimate event or a large gathering, I can vouch that Becci with knock it out of the park. The pictures are stunning; true works of art. For any future photography needs, I will be calling Becci.

    Rebecca is the best. From the moment I sat down with her for coffee to discuss booking her for our wedding, I knew she was the person I wanted to capture my day! Rebecca is such a lovely person, and a truly gifted photographer. She captured the little moments I wanted to see from our big day, and even asked if we wanted her to stay longer than we agreed to continue snapping photos.

    I would absolutely recommend you book Rebecca. You will not be disappointed!

    I am so happy we chose Becci for our wedding photography. When the big day is long gone and our memory starts to fade a bit, I knew the one thing we would have to remember all the emotions and little details of the day is our wedding photos. So, to me, it was one of the most important things to get right. Becci ended up not only being extremely easy to work with, but just a delight as well. She is warm and welcoming, and makes you feel at ease in no time. I ended up coordinating my own wedding, so the value of vendors that are easy to work with can not be understated! Also, her photography style was exactly what I was looking for: soft, romantic, timeless, pretty. She captured all the different emotions we had throughout the day and she went above and beyond to get it all right for us. Her 2nd photographer, Carol Lima, was a delight as well and did a wonderful job. We are thrilled with how our photos turned out and I would recommend Becci in a heartbeat for any photography needs!

    We love Becci! What more needs to be said? From her first email all the way through the ceremony and post-wedding production, she has been personable, timely, and professional. We looked at a lot of wedding photos beforehand. So, we had an idea of what we liked and didn't. She listened and got to know us and our likes/dislikes. We found her completely flexible with her photography to accommodate our tastes. Her responses to our emails and questions were always timely, usually within a few hours. She is very easy to talk to, and put us at ease when we showed up a bit nervous for our engagement pictures. We just received our final pictures from Becci and love them. They made my wife cry, they were that good. We would absolutely use Becci again!!!
