Hiring Rebecca was the best decision I made for my wedding day. Our photos are everything we could have wanted and more. Her work speaks for itself. But I can speak to the experience of working with Rebecca, which is fantastic. She is prepared for anything, totally
unflappable, but completely easy-going. That's the recipe for a perfect wedding photographer.

I really don’t have words to express how grateful we are for your photos. They’ll be the only physical way we can see and share the wedding forever. They’ll be on display in our home always. So much love.

Rebecca perfectly captured not only our wedding, but our personalities on film. We were blown away and immediately transported back to Italy. Rebecca’s photos tell the story so perfectly. I cannot recommend or sing her praises enough. Her style is so timeless. On such an important day, it’s an undervalued asset to have a team who feels like family while executing their craft with perfection and that is exactly what Rebecca does.

Rebecca was by far the best vendor that we worked with. She is incredibly relationship-driven, listened to our personal requests, & worked with our vendors to ensure perfect execution. Rebecca also was phenomenal in capturing moments, that we didn't even know she was with us. She made the experience of taking pictures feel natural and the results speak for themselves.

Rebecca is amazing. She goes out of her way to be helpful. In the months leading up to (and day of) our wedding, she was always there to offer her opinion and guidance on anything & everything. She's so so talented and we're glad we went with her. I would recommend her to anyone because she's worth it.
