Becky was the photographer for our engagement photoshoot and wedding day. The information she provided about the packages and process was clearly explained before each event. Becky...
has such positive and encouraging energy. She is responsive and communicates well in advance if there are going to be any changes. She allowed the engagement photo session to flow naturally, and did not force poses, but instead got to know our natural style and guided us. Becky did a phenomenal job with our photos for the engagement photoshoot and resolved an issue with lighting for taking excellent night time photos on our wedding day. She went above and beyond with her time and edited a few photos the night of the wedding. She also provided some ideas about planning tips which were interesting to read. Her engagement and wedding package rates are reasonable for the quality, care, and professionalism that she delivers. We would be happy to work with Becky again and highly recommend her business. Thank you!
Our literal favorite vendor ever.
Becky was AMAZING! She worked with us on our timeline from the beginning and talked to us throughout the entire wedding planning process. She was...
organized and took note of the details we wanted and our vision. She was so friendly and easy to work with. She provided helpful tips and spaced out the things she needed from us (planning-wise) in a way that wasn't stressful.
She is also incredibly talented!!! The pictures turned out amazing and everyone told us how beautiful they are. The pictures all followed a similar aesthetic throughout which made the wedding look cohesive and picture perfect.
We had a last minute emergency the day before but Becky came in with a plan B that saved the day!
We cannot stress enough how much you need to work with Becky!!! You will not be disappointed!
Of all the planning that comes with a wedding, photography was never something I had to worry about with Becky. She was incredibly thorough with her questions and planning to make ...
sure she hit on everything I envisioned, and she made the process more fun than anything! We didn’t need to have an engagement shoot done, but she didn’t hesitate to give us a variety of other options for how we could use that time since it was included with our photography package. When it came to our wedding day, she was very efficient and kept everyone on schedule. We had a large wedding party so I imagined group shots would be difficult. I didn’t need to worry because she wrangled them all together with ease! I asked for plenty of shots during the reception, and she delivered! We received SO MANY candid photos of our family and friends, which was exactly what we were hoping for.
My favorite part about Becky’s photos is her attention to detail. She took advantage of the beautiful, November day we had and there’s something pretty to look at in the background of almost every photo. I am working on my own photobook, but it’s difficult with so many great pictures to choose from!
If you are considering hiring Becky as your photographer, I would not hesitate to pull the trigger. She did a fabulous job and I would recommend her to anyone.
Becky was the best decision we made for our wedding. We were referred personally then had a video chat to meet. Becky was easy to talk to and work with, very professional and perso...
nal. She made us both feel comfortable and knows the best spots in STL to shoot. Becky shot our engagement session and our wedding day. She helped set up and keep us on our timeline the day of the wedding. She also helped manage unexpected chaos when my mom's dress needed sewing, she had the best emergency kit! She took the most STUNNING pictures and took advantage of all the serendipitous moments throughout the day. Becky also made another visit after our wedding to get some detail shots that she didn't have time to get the day of. Becky always has a smile on her face and she is the BEST at what she does. She truly enjoys her job and provided us with the dreamiest images to remember our day. We really wanted natural shots that didn't seem staged and captured our emotion and Becky exceeded our wildest expectations.
Betty Lou was an excellent destination wedding photographer! She starting taking pictures at 3:00 a.m. with a smile on her face. She was unobtrusive during the ceremony and never c...
omplained even though it was very cold and windy at sunrise. Her photographs were absolutely amazing and captured the wedding perfectly.
Wow, beautiful, incredible! These are just a few words that popped into my head when we received our wedding photos from Becky! She was wonderful to work with to say the least! We ...
had a destination wedding just outside Jackson, WY in early September and I could not have asked for more in our wedding photos. Becky was very polite, prompt, efficient and so sweet! Prior to going out to Wyoming she had already scouted the outdoor site of the wedding and other locations near there to get some beautiful photos. I planned my wedding in 3 months so she was a tremendous help with these small details and was able to meet with me multiple times via video chat to go over details. I was impressed with how well she took control in placing people for photos and making sure we got a variety of poses as well as great locations. One of the best parts was how well she was able to get genuine and pure reactions out of me and my husband (who hates taking photos).
Becky did an amazing job capturing our special day. She listened to what we wanted and made sure to get pictures of the most important moments.
Becky was PHENOMENAL on my wedding day!! I had a wedding photographer crisis about 5 months before my wedding day and I was urgently looking for a photographer. I found Becky on Th...
e Knot and instantly fell in love with her pictures! I reached out to her and she responded so quickly, so we set up a phone call to chat. She is not just professional, but she makes you feel like you've been friends for years. She is so easy to talk to and was excited about all my ideas. She also had some great ideas she pitched to me too :) I told her what I wanted to happen, and she made it happen. We worked together to create a timeline and she gave me some helpful tips when it came to when to take pictures and who to take them with. She made this process so incredibly easy and stress-free, and I cannot thank her enough for stepping in to do this for me when I needed it most. If I could post one of my wedding pictures that she took, I so would. She's amazing, do not hesitate to reach out to her!!
Becky was absolutely amazing during our Wedding day and the weeks/months leading up to it! She wildly exceeded our expectations in every way possible! Becky worked with us to ensur...
e we had everything we needed planned and scheduled to make the day run seamlessly. The schedule/ceremony timeline she made for us to share with our wedding party and other vendors helped us ensure that everyone was on the same page while we were able to just enjoy the day, and we had no clue that she was going to even do that for us!
Not only that, but Becky was always there for us when we had a stressful time during wedding planning. Anytime we ran into something that we didn’t know how to handle, Becky was able to offer much needed insight from her plethora of wedding knowledge. I cannot put into words the amount of times that our nerves were calmed because of Becky.
That's not even the photography part of it! Oftentimes, getting a bunch of people together to take photos can be a bit uncomfortable or robotic for most people, but Becky made the experience seem very organic and fun for everyone! One can only imagine the potential disasters that could take place during family formals when attempting to wrangle a huge family together to get their photos taken, but Becky was able to make even that a seamless process.
Becky's capability to really capture memories and all of the feelings you are having during your wedding with her photography skills is outstanding! The first time we saw some of the photos, we had absolute tears, because so many of those amazing moments and memories were captured and rushed right back to us!
I cannot imagine our Wedding day without Becky there, and the memories she captured will thankfully be with us for lifetimes. I cannot emphasize how much I would recommend Becky to any couple looking for a photographer. She's amazing. Her photography is amazing. And I don't think the day would have been the same if she were not there. Thank you so much, Becky.
Becky was fabulous! We got married 10/10/20, and as most couples that got married around then know it was a stressful time. Becky communicated swiftly and efficiently and was with ...
us the whole step of the way. She was super innovative, very organized when it came to family portraits and would go the extra mile to get that extra special shot. Alot of the times we forgot she was there because of her great attitude to fit in and when you least expected it she was getting those memorable shots. Our pictures got to us swiftly with no issues and we love ever single one of them. She was more than a fair price and we will continue to use her for our family portraits throughout the years. This is saying alot since shes over an hour away for us. Two thumbs way up for Ms. Becky!!
