I was so excited to have been able to book Becky for our wedding in September! Her pictures came back absolutely beautiful and I’m thrilled with every picture that we received. I couldn’t have asked for a better person to document our day.

Rebecca was great to work with! We booked her for our wedding before meeting her based on a recommendation and some of her work. When we met her for our engagement shoot, we immediately knew we made the right choice.
She was fun to work with, made what’s normally awkward for us (having our photos taken) enjoyable, and got us our photos quickly.
The same goes for our wedding. She captured all of the love, emotion, and energy beautifully. We really liked how many candid photos she got of our guests in addition to us so that we can see everyone’s reactions and how much fun our wedding was.
We’d book Rebecca L Photography again in a heartbeat if we had to do it all over. The only thing we’re bummed about is that she’s not local to our area, but I guess that means a road trip when we need photos!
Any questions?

We are not from the area, so finding a wedding photographer took a lot of research. We are SO grateful we chose Rebecca to handle our special day!
She was so fun and easy to work with, and she made the entire process so smooth! She had fantastic communication throughout the time leading up and on the day of our wedding.
We were blown away by how amazing our engagement session photos were, so I can’t wait to see pictures from the wedding. She’s incredible!! ❤️🤩

We have utilized Rebecca L Photography on several occasions. Her thoughtful in capturing the big and small moments during sessions, kind personality, and incredible talent made it a no brainer when it came to who was to photograph and document our wedding. In fact, we scheduled our wedding date around Becky's availability, as she was a must have for us. During a prep meeting, I threw out several ideas for different images we wanted to have captured. Becky acknowledged each one, providing feedback that made several of those moments the most talked about moments of our entire wedding weekend. She is a must have for documenting your big day!

Becky is THE BEST photographer! She worked with us well before our big day so that she was able to come fully prepared and organized the day of. Her fun personality made us feel incredibly comfortable on a day where we were definitely feeling a little anxious about having all eyes on us. We got married on a very snowy day in January and Becky even trudged through at least 6 inches of snow to get some incredible outdoor shots of us. She provided us with SO MANY photos and if I could display every single one of them in my house, I would! And that's not even counting our engagement photos - which she was incredibly willing to do with us at a brewery. 12/10 excellent experience!
response 01/23/2024
Hahahaha you are so sweet Courtney! Thank you so much for all of this! And I can say that ...
walking through the 6 inches of snow was 100% worth it! hahaha I would do it again in a heartbeat! Thank you for having me document your wedding it meant so much to me!!

Oh Rebecca, you were a pleasure to work with. SO easy and very communicative. My husband who notices NOTHING said "when we were cutting the cake I went to ask you where the photographer was and I looked right next to me and she was standing right there ready to go". All of our photos were exactly what we wanted, and you talked to our guests and made them feel so comfortable. Your prices are extremely fair and I got hundreds of photos to choose from. Bailey was also awesome to work with on the wedding day. You were on time, and ready to go doing all the things I wanted without even asking me. Also, your personal touches for the USB drive is so special to us, and it really shows how much you care about your clients.

Wow where to even begin with miss Rebecca. I didn’t just hire a photographer, I found a friend! She is the sweetest and most friendly person I’ve ever had the pleasure of knowing. She started with taking some awesome engagement photos, got us in quickly and got the pictures back to us within 2 weeks. She replies to emails within the same day, though she’s personable enough just to message on Facebook! One thing I loved is that she kept in touch after the wedding, giving us a Que of which weddings were next on her list, when she started with ours, and even shared photos as she went so we got to see what she was currently working on. I just have nothing but good things to say about Becky, you won’t regret it. She does it ALL. Weddings, engagement, pets, babies, she will take pics of you with a taco if you asked her to, and she would do it excitedly!
Definitely the best part of our special day, thanks again Becky. You’re worth every penny ❤️
response 02/18/2023
OMG you got me over her sobbing thank you so much!!!! And laughing, the taco part lol you ...
know me too well hahahah is this a hint? Do you want to do a taco shoot? Because now I feel like we must. I adore you, thank you for being such an amazing person all around! :D

From the first email to the final USB delivery, Rebecca was personable, professional, and everything we could have hoped for! We didn't get a chance to meet her before our wedding day, but she made it so easy to plan everything and quickly acquainted herself with the venue (she had never been to) and the large extended family that was pointing her in all directions! For a small travel fee she was more than willing to travel to our venue which was almost an hour away. She came prepared and her second shooter was wonderful as well. She took so many pictures of us but also squeezed in some time later in the night to do couple photos with most of our bridal party (which I didn't even know about until I got the photos back). It made me so so happy to see that she took the time to get personal photos of those closest to us 💜 I can not recommend her more and the personalized USB and case will always hold a special place in our hearts! She also does ton of mini shoots in her studio near Kalamazoo, Michigan. So even if you are looking for family photos or a pregnancy announcements, she is your gal!
If your dogs are an important part of your day, HIRE REBECCA!!!! She came prepared and worked with us to get the perfect photos with our pups!

Becky is amazing. She has a great visual eye in her pictures but also give you a comfort when she’s styling your shot. Also did great with my 7 year old son and the flower girls to get good pictures. I can’t say enough good things about her.

I could legitimately write a novel about how FANTASTIC Becky is. I'll try my hardest, but honestly, words cannot describe it.
I had a very long relationship with my (now) husband before we got engaged, and a long engagement. I had plenty of time to be selective with who I chose to take our photos and over the years I had looked at multiple possible photographers. When I saw Becky's work, let me tell you, no joke, I stopped considering anyone else for the task. I knew Becky was going to be it for us.
I messaged Becky and she was ALL for it. She really shines through with her passion and she's always equally as excited to share these moments with her clients!
Becky was amazing. She and I have worked on other specific shoots together but wedding related, she did all of our engagement and wedding photos. Because we had a 2 year engagement, she and I collaborated on doing a 4 season shoot over a course of a year! The willingness and the dedication to editing and just how long all of it takes her -- she astounds me! She really does!
She goes above and beyond for her clients and her work is no freaking joke. She creates the most stunning shots. She looks at the small details and the tiny fleeting moments that some might miss, and will certainly forget about in the midst of a busy day. She really does take the time to capture all those moments. I look back on galleries and I think to myself "HOW DID SHE EVEN GET THIS SHOT?!" I know why, because she's a freaking wizard! Haha.
Becky is a photographer that VERY quickly becomes a close friend, family even! She is so insanely kind, sweet, and hilarious. We have spent so much time together that I trust her with our moments, because I know she never takes it for granted.
You can't go wrong with choosing Becky. The only complaint I have with her is that she gives me TOO many STUNNING photos that I literally have a hard time choosing which ones to frame!

Rebecca is hands down the BEST photographer we could have ever wished for. She made the entire process of wedding/engagement photos so much fun and with such ease. She’s extremely talented with what she does and her passion for photography really shows through her final products. For anyone who is looking for a photographer I 100% recommended her.

Becky truly blew us away with her talent and she warmth! The moment we met her for our engagement session we felt like we had been friends with her for years! She made a huge effort to get to know us and made us so comfortable in front the camera. Our pictures are STUNNING, I could go on and on about Becky but most of all she goes above and beyond for her clients and it’s evident in her work!

Becky is hands down the best! She is very talented when it comes to photography. I tried booking with her in 2020 and my wedding date was taken. I was completely devastated. I considered moving my date to ensure that she would be the one to capture our special day. She posted a few months later that she had a few dates open back up and my date was one of those. I immediately secured my date and I am forever grateful that it all worked out. Again, she is literally the best in the business. If you’re looking for a phenomenal photographer, she’s your girl. Book with her!! I promise, you won’t regret it!

Rebecca L Photography did an amazing job on our wedding day. She was extremely professional and artistic taking great care and patience to accommodate my husband and I and our very large families. It was a hot day but she was prepared and ready to go, and helped find the shady spots near the church or quick little fun ones during the venue. I highly recommend her, she has beautiful photos, and I cannot wait to see all of them!

If you are considering hiring Rebecca, do it! You will not be disappointed! We did three sessions with Rebecca- an engagement session, an engagement session with our dogs, and our wedding. Our pictures for all three sessions turned out amazing! Rebecca is so talented and the way that she photographs people makes everyone look their best. She is fun and easy to work with, and is great at making her subjects feel comfortable. We will be hiring her for all future photography and are more likely to consider having photo sessions done as a result of working with her. We cannot recommend her enough!
