Rebecca was the best choice we made for the whole wedding! Her photos tell such a beautiful story of our day, plus she's super communicative and just a lovely person. If you're loo...
king for a document of the day, and not just stuffy portraits (though our portraits look amazing too) she's the best <3
I honestly cannot imagine having a better wedding photographer for our day than Rebecca. She is so incredibly kind and most importantly such a stellar communicator. Our wedding day...
was SUCH a mess! Not only did we have extreme flash flooding that was a complete surprise, meaning we had to change our ceremony from outdoor to indoor real quick, but there was miscommunication on the indoor set up. She took it upon herself to help direct people in the right direction and control the situation. She made my husband and I feel so comfortable in front of the camera and her priority was capturing the pictures we wanted based off of what we had gone back and forth emailing about. She not only was so excellent at guiding our movements in shots, but she asked us if there was anything we wanted to photograph in the moment! She is beyond inclusive and so easy going. She showed up early and never for a second added to the stress that inevitably comes on the day of a wedding, especially a mostly DIY one without a coordinator. Lastly, she used the landscape of the venue to get creative shots which we were so impressed by and she never prioritized her photography over our happiness. She rolled with our goofiness and made us feel like we were a million dollars.
Rebecca was amazing and such a pleasure to work with! She responded quickly to all my questions and was able to help plan how much time was needed for everything we wanted to do du...
ring our wedding. She was fun to be around and was a huge help in keeping things flowing smoothly on the wedding day. The photographs turned out better than I ever imagined. Rebecca has such an amazing talent and her ability to tell the story of our wedding day through photography is simply stunning. Highly recommend!!!
Choosing a photographer was probably the most difficult part of my wedding planning. I literally spent MONTHS perusing photographers before settling on Rebecca, and it was the BEST...
decision I made (other than the groom!) for my wedding. Rebecca was just a dream during the planning process and the day of the wedding. She was super flexible and helpful the whole way through- even (especially!) as we were photographing in the rain and driving around town to find the best spots for rainy wedding day pictures. She has an aura that makes everyone around her happy and comfortable. And the end product? Jaw dropping photos! She captured every detail in the most stunningly beautiful way. I feel so lucky to have found her, and to have had her be a part of my wedding day. Book Rebecca and you will NOT regret it. She'll turn your day into a fairy tale!
If you are looking for a photographer then you need to hire Rebecca! She photographed my wedding in 2012 and was amazing! She took SOOO many awesome photos that are now all over ...
our house. I love her style and she did an excellent job at capturing the moment. She went above and beyond to make sure I had all the pictures I wanted and make me felt comfortable. She is very easy to talk and calming. I wanted to get pictures at several locations with lots of people and she was able to get them all! Additionally, I received tons of compliments from the wedding party on how much the all liked Rebecca. They enjoyed how nice she was, patient and keeping us on track! Your wedding day is a moment you want to remember forever and Rebecca makes that possible!
It took my wife and I forever to find a photographer. The second we came upon her website we knew she was the one! We fell in love with her ability to tell a story through her phot...
ography that wasn't like everyone else's.
Thanks to Rebecca for making our day! We couldn't have asked for more.
Sincerely, Brandie & Caitlin
We found Rebecca online when we were planning our wedding. When we got connected, we knew right away that we found the perfect photographer for our special day. Rebecca's documenta...
ry style photography was exactly what we wanted to capture all the organic moments on our day since we had an intimate backyard wedding.
Throughout the planning process, We loved that Rebecca was very responsive and she genuinely wanted to get to know us on a personal level. So by the time we met her in person, it was like we've known her for years.
On our wedding day, Rebecca knew our vision and was able to capture all the little details that we wanted to have and more. She was very engaging with all of the guests. She knew our timeline and kept as on it and still was able to capture so many amazing pictures. It was a great combination of portraits and candid shots. The pictures turned out FANTASTIC! We wanted a soft and natural style images and Rebecca did not disappoint.
We would recommend Rebecca to anyone looking for a talented and personable photographer and a wonderful person.
I chose Rebecca to be our wedding photographer because her work was unique and I could tell that she cared a lot about the people she was photographing and also the quality of the ...
photographs. Her work is beautiful and clean and she truly tells a story through her lens. I wanted to have photos that would be meaningful to me and that would help me relive such an important day in our lives.
Rebecca went above and beyond our expectations for our wedding photos. She captured so many special moments and natural, candid interactions that we treasure. She sat down with us before our wedding to discuss which photos we absolutely had to have and to go over our timeline so that everything would run smoothly on our wedding day. She truly got to know us as a couple which really made us feel comfortable around her and we could be ourselves. She is professional and organized and she is extremely personable!
We loved our wedding photos so much that we had Rebecca photograph our one year wedding anniversary. She helped me plan a surprise photo shoot for my husband which was so fun and memorable! We will continue to go back to Rebecca for family photos in the future because she always impresses us and produces beautiful work.
Rebecca, and her photos, are awesome!!!
We got married out of town, so we didn't meet Rebecca until our wedding day. We had only communicated by email, but Rebecca asked the rig...
ht questions to get to know us and what we wanted for our day.
I am not a big fan of having my picture taken, and don't usually trust someone I just met, but I trusted her completely! She was really good at giving direction when needed, but just let us be who we are and that really shines through in the photos.
She was organized, efficient and has just a fun/bright personality and energy! She was not afraid to climb in a bush, or run around to get a great shot. She's petite and quick, you almost don't even realize she's there!
It's seems like she really just let's herself be in the moment and has a natural photographer intuition. For example: she snapped a pic of me cleaning mud off my heals after I got stuck in the grass. I didn't think that was anything worth being photographed, but she did, and it turned out to be a really cool picture and captured a moment from that day that I will always remember.
We had several compliments from wedding guests about Rebecca. They all thought she was so nice! She really blended in with our guests at the reception and was able to get some really great candid shots.
Since the wedding day she has been so great about answering all our questions. And the pictures she put up on her blog told a perfect little story of our day.
I'm so happy that we chose Rebecca to be our photographer! I would recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer in the Columbia, MO area!
I was 100% satisfied with Rebecca Allen and I very strongly recommend her as a wedding photographer. First, her communication skills throughout the whole process are spot on, and s...
he always ensured that both myself and my groom were getting exactly what we wanted. She always takes the time to explain thoroughly what the options are, and always responds quickly if you ask her a question. Her prices are very upfront and there were no unexpected expenses.
Now moving on to her finished products. First of all, her photography style is exquisite: I love the documentary/photojournalism look and the pictures we super. We had Rebecca do our engagement photos also, and they were beautiful. We chose to have her make them into an album to use as a wedding guest sign in book, and I absolutely love it: it's possibly my favorite keepsake. We also got two large canvas prints, and they are excellent quality as well. We selected a thick leather wedding album for ourselves and a smaller album for parents, and everything turned out beautiful. The materials are high end, and Rebecca again put lots of effort into creating the perfect layout, and making sure it was how we wanted it.
I can't say enough great things about Rebecca. She is a joy to work with, flexible, positive, creative, and talented. I would most definitely work with her again.
My husband and I were married at my parents' farm outside on 9/5/15. From our first meeting with Rebecca I felt she really got what we were after! She has a documentary style which...
we love. My husband was worried we would be stuck with lots of silly poses and not enough candid shots. We left our first meeting feeling like she was the best vendor we'd picked so far!
We thought her prices were very reasonable. She has packages you can choose from or you can do an a la carte option which seems very flexible.
Before the wedding and reception, Rebecca sent over a few forms for me to fill out so we were prepared for the day and I wouldn't have to do so then. This really helped me plan things out in my mind and get a good sense of how the shots for the day would go. We decided on a time to start for the day and Rebecca showed up right on time and got busy checking out the ceremony and reception site. She never stopped!
We had such lovely shots of our ceremony and bridal party. Both posed and candid. I know my bridal party really appreciated not having to stand around for hours to get their photos done. Rebecca was quick and efficent and got our family portraits and bridal party photos out of the way.
We went to a variety of spots on my parents farm for our individual and couples photos which was so nice. She also captured the reception really well. All of the typical things you want like cutting the cake, first dance, toasts etc. And then she got some great candid shots of our dance party and my guests mingling and having a great time.
We received our teaser look on her blog almost immediately. That was great to have so I could send to friends and family while the event was still fresh. The rest of the photos came on her website a few weeks after that. I didn't even notice how long it took but I would say about 5 weeks after the wedding. We went through and picked our favorites but there were sooo many! Rebecca will put a book together for us from those favorites we chose. We gave her creative freedom to pick the photos for our book from our favorites but she'll send a few copies for us to review and change if need be.
We were so pleased with Rebecca Allen and we would recommend (and have already done so) her to anyone!
Rebecca Allen Photography did a GREAT job on my big day! She is very organized and made everything for me stress free. I had a wedding of about 350 guests and she was able to capt...
ure all the special moments. I love her style of photography, she didn't just pose us, but she captured the story of our wedding day. She is amazing!
