I honestly can't say enough about Rebecca Stark. I never hired a wedding planner for our wedding (fine for me, I like arranging all the details myself,) but I did start to realize...
I lacked the vision and professional eye that might have come from having that help. Part of our decision to hire Rebecca as our photographer almost immediately was that she threw out the most beautiful suggestions so effortlessly in conversation ("Have you considered these colors?" "There's a great little beach over here that no one really knows about..."). In short, we took almost every idea she mentioned - and furthermore, talking through her process with her helped me to identify what stop gaps existed in my planning. Her communication was excellent, for months leading up to our big day - and her personality is so easygoing and calm, which is a godsend for any bride.
She was beyond prompt in getting our photos back to us, and I think it goes without saying: her work is magnificent. All her time spent listening, suggesting, and understanding in the months leading up really meant that she documented our day in a way we wouldn't have gotten from any other. It was authentic, sincere, and absolutely "us." We could not have pulled off our wedding without Rebecca in our corner, and I could not recommend her more highly.
Rebecca took our wedding photos in October. She was incredibly professional, stuck to our shot list, and also got some unexpectedly beautiful shots. We signed a contract for her fo...
r 7 hours, for her and an assistant. After talking to Rebecca and going over our shot list, she emailed me and said that she had decided to bring a third photographer to assist during the cocktail hour and before the wedding so that we don't feel rushed to get everything in without missing anything. Rebecca also took us to the beach at the very end of the day, where she got some gorgeous shots of us in the sand and in front of the colorful hotel in downtown Capitola. She was professional, and a lot of fun to work with. Her assistants were great too! Z (thats one of the assistants) was so helpful to me, adjusting my dress and offering me water and making sure I stayed hydrated! I forget the other assistants name, but he came to photograph the groomsmen and the cocktail hour to help, and he was a lot of fun to work with as well. We will likely use Rebecca again for any other photo shoots we want, since we enjoyed working with her so much!
When I was looking for photographers to work with, there were three things that were critical for me. First, I had to love their portfolio (clearly). Second, I had to feel comfort...
able around them. And third, they needed to understand my love for how photos can provide context - light, colors, textures, and emotions. I did not want a collection of portraits.
Rebecca met and exceeded all these criteria. She has a great eye, which is clearly evident when looking at her collections. She is fun, with a twist of eccentric, that makes her very engaging to work with. Rebecca took a great deal of time during our first consultation to talk to me about her services, but also to listen carefully to what I wanted to get out of the photos. We felt very good booking her from the start.
Rebecca certainly had her challenges with us, as my husband and I are not used to being in front of the camera, and are not small people. Rebecca handled these challenges very well, and once I saw our engagement pictures, I knew that she'd be able to handle a curvy girl in a big white dress!
Rebecca also threw together an awesome photobooth for us, for an incredibly good price, that was an amazing hit. She did this with little input from me, but knew well enough what I was looking for to make amazing.
She was great working with the vendors, chose really nice, talented assistants...and we have her to thank for capturing so many of the important moments of our day.
I absolutely recommend working with Rebecca.
