Rebekah Albaugh

was so intentional about getting to know us! From our story, our families, and even our little jokes, so that we felt completely comfortable in front of the camera. She works efficiently with impressively turn around times, and her kindness and understanding made every interaction easy and enjoyable. You can truly tell how much she cares about the people she works with. We’re so glad we chose to work with someone local, and we cannot recommend Rebekah enough!

They handled all the chaos of our wedding day so effortlessly and even helped keep everything moving right on schedule. They captured every moment so beautifully that looking back through our photos feels like we’re reliving the day again. We’re so grateful to have these memories forever. Highly, highly recommend!!

to work with and an unbelievably hard worker. Her and her second shooter, Evelyn, made our wedding day so much fun and stress-free. We truly were able to enjoy our day knowing we were in the best of hands, and we are so thankful for the amazing support and comfort they provided. We are beyond obsessed with our stunning wedding photos, which beautifully capture every emotion, detail, and special moment of the happiest day of our lives.

the camera and after our engagement shoot I knew she was the perfect photographer as we both left that session so excited for the wedding and the positive energy Rebekah brings to each session. She felt like family with the way she integrated herself in our day and truly made us feel so comfortable, all day, while also keeping us on schedule and allowing us to enjoy our day, which is exactly what we were looking for. Her photos truly represented our day and the emotions we felt on our day. We couldn’t reccomend Rebekah more and will look back on these photos forever. 

photos, and she completely nailed it - they turned out even better than I imagined. She was super creative with the locations she chose to shoot us at, kept everything moving right on schedule, and made the whole process feel so easy. On top of that, she’s just an amazing person. I’ll never forget her praying with me when I misplaced the rings just a few hours before the ceremony. That meant more to me than she’ll ever know. We are so grateful for her and will cherish these photos forever.

comfortable and excited to be in her photos. She has an excellent eye for cool spots in Chicago to take pictures that the average person would completely miss. The photos turned out absolutely amazing, and we are so thankful that she captured our day. I would highly recommend Rebekah!

is great at directing poses to make sure we looked our best. She was extremely efficient on wedding day, keeping things ahead of schedule and wrangling a big wedding party, family and kids. She has a great sense of humor and will likely name your wedding dress :) We are in love with our photos and will cherish them forever!

e is easy to work with and communicate with. Her work is luxurious and spectacular. We will enjoy it for years to come. Thank you. I would recommend her to anyone who wants to be captured in the best possible light

ll be the first to admit we aren’t naturals in front of the camera, but she worked pure magic. She knew exactly how to guide us while still making everything feel natural and authentic, and the results left us speechless. Rebekah made sure to capture every single shot I wanted—plus so many more moments I never even thought to ask for. She has an incredible eye for detail and somehow always seemed to be in the perfect place at the perfect time. When I received my photos, I honestly couldn’t pick a favorite because every single one was stunning. On top of her incredible talent, Rebekah was the perfect balance of professional and fun. She kept the day seamless, stress-free, and so enjoyable. Her helper was equally amazing—they worked together flawlessly, which made everything run smoothly from start to finish. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only deliver breathtaking photos but also bring energy, joy, and ease to your big day, look no further than Rebekah Albough. She is truly the BEST of the best. Nothing short of amazing!

work with if you aren’t comfortable in front of the camera! Cannot say enough good things about her, and we truly will treasure the pictures she took of our wedding forever! She has become a friend of ours and would recommend her to anyone and everyone!

around. She fit seamlessly into the hustle and bustle of the day. She problem solved quickly when the timeline of the day didn’t work as originally planned. Mary was fabulous and we loved working with and being around her!

ifferent wedding), and I got married in October 2024. The ONE thing I insisted on in wedding planning was that she needed to be our photographer. I would have moved our wedding date to ensure we could work with her or cut the budget elsewhere to afford it. She is that good! Rebekah makes everyone feel confident and at ease. The authentic love, faith, and laughter that comes through in her photos is beautiful. My husband is a guy who doesn't like getting his photo taken and as soon as he met Rebekah at our engagement shoot, he agreed 100% that no other photographer would do. He said, "I didn't know taking photos could be fun. She was great!" Our wedding was a small brunch wedding planned in only 5 months. The prep time was condensed and our venue rental length was shorter than normal. Rebekah worked with us to tailor our shot schedule to make sure we got all of the photos we wanted (including a stunning bride and groom portrait series on the grounds of the venue) AND that we were able to visit with our guests and enjoy the moment. She was a pro at managing some family dynamics with divorced parents during group shots and calming down an emotional mother of the bride. As the bride and groom, we didn't have to worry about a thing! Our photos are PERFECT!

ute joy to work with. From our first phone call, we connected with her right away. After seeing her portfolio, we knew we wanted to work with her after connecting with other photographers. Her prices are very reasonable, and we were able to work together to find a package that fit our needs. When we did our engagement session, she made us feel at ease right away, and even got my camera-averse son to smile a few times. Her turnaround was faster than expected in getting the finished images to us, and she was very responsive when we asked her to edit a few of the pics. On the day of our (mostly) outdoor wedding, it was raining and cooler than anticipated. She made us feel confident and comfortable while we found unique spaces to take pictures. The weather didn't phase her one bit. And when the sun did finally peak through right before the start of our ceremony, she captured additional images of my beautiful bride that were absolutely stunning. The reception pics have gotten plenty of oohs and aaahs from family and friends. And she was able to send us some sneak peaks in a very timely fashion. She's been a joy to work with from the start, and we are very happy that we chose Rebekah as our wedding photographer. Recommend 10 out of 10!!!

ing day, her and her team were very organized and took great care of us. They guided us through the whole process and everything went beautifully. The photos turned out amazing, and we will cherish them forever. Thank you to Rebekah and her team for capturing our day perfectly.

ey did 😍

brings out the best in people, especially those who may shy away from the camera. I was amazed by how well she captured the moments of our big day. The galleries were returned in a timely manner, and she was incredibly organized throughout the day. With her help, large group photos went seamlessly. I would highly recommend Rebekah and her team for any event. Whether you’re photogenic or not, she will find a way to capture every bit of your personality and create beautiful images that will last a lifetime!

photos, and these pictures will bring smiles to our own faces for years to come. Thank you again to you and your team. We could not be happier with how the photos turned out and are so grateful for the time and attention to detail spent editing our album.

time came to be a bride that I would want to have Rebekah as the photographer. As a bride, there are so many things to plan and stress over. Choosing Rebekah meant I never needed to worry or stress about my day. I fully trusted her vision, and the timeline we created together. Having an April 1st wedding was a gamble with Illinois weather. Our wedding turned out to be a very cold, windy, gloomy, and slightly rainy day. Upon arrival, Rebekah shared the bad weather news me, but assured me she could capture everything beautifully indoors. AND SHE DID! Our photos are absolutely stunning! Even though we had to be inside for all of them (except toward after in the evening when we braved some mud for a sunset photo), she gave us so many different backdrops, vibes, colors - it was perfect and it’s hard to choose a favorite! She knew our personalities & saw my vision and created beautiful, sophisticated, and fierce photos. Not only did she give us beautiful photos, but she gave me beautiful memories on my wedding morning - for that I am so grateful. She suggested that my bridesmaids and I all sit on the couch & each person shared about our friendship. She comforted me to prepare for the weather, the first look with my dad, and first look with my husband! I appreciate how quickly she shared bride and groom and wedding portraits with us as well. I admire her joy, her vision, and her talents & her creativity! Our photos are stunning. She captured our love and memories perfectly. Thank you, Rebekah!!!

with how all of our photos turned out! Not only were the photos amazing but the communication and professionalism Rebekah and her team demonstrated went above and beyond our expectations!

zing our bridal party and made sure everyone looked fantastic in the photos!

g with her fun. She edited our engagement pictures in a short amount of time because she knew we wanted to get our save the date out and needed a picture soon, which is so appreciated and says a lot about her flexibility. The wedding day was so smooth and a lot of that has to do with Rebekah’s experience with weddings. On top of all that, her pictures are just stunning… we seriously love each and every one of our engagement and wedding pictures. She is so great and I would recommend her photography to anyone!!!

s to more candid, fun moments captured when we weren't looking - and we will treasure them forever. But quite apart from that, she was SO lovely to have around on our wedding day. She always answered all our questions prior to the wedding promptly, and kindly, and was an absolute joy to work with. If you are looking for a wedding photographer, you could not possibly do better than Rebekah. She is humble, loves the Lord, and has an encouraging/fun spirit! - Savannah & Christian Straw :)

r wedding day with her second shooter, Mary. Not only were the pictures exactly what I had hoped for, but I genuinely enjoyed each minute Rebekah was around during the day. She has a natural ability to invite people in and make them comfortable so their best selves appear on camera. I love my fiancé dearly, but left to our own devices, sometimes we look a little awkward in pictures. She has a great eye for posing, will give clear directions when needed and did a great job providing silly prompts designed to generate true laughter and smiles from us throughout the day. We had a large bridal party (9 bridesmaids, 9 groomsmen) and Rebekah made it seem effortless to get our group organized and create some beautiful moments with our whole group. She was immensely organized and had a checklist that she highlighted throughout the day to ensure that all of the friend and family shots we had hoped to capture were documented. Even though our day started off with some rain, Rebekah captured amazing moments and took full advantage of the pockets between rain and the eventual sunshine to make sure we got all of the pictures we had hoped for. We love you Rebekah and are so glad we got to share our wedding day with you!!

important days of my life, I really need to vibe with that person. From the moment I met with Rebekah, I knew that we were going to be friends. It was so easy for my husband and I to laugh and crack jokes with her so none of our smiles were fake or awkward. I just loved every minute with Rebekah and our second shooter Jessica. On top of that, her work is just incredible. I have been in love with every collection I've ever seen from Rebekah and I'm so thrilled that now I have my own! She knows how to pose everyone for flattering angles and lighting, and it shows in the final photos!

EARD of for a photographer like Rebekah! We were thrilled with our pictures! She was quick, knew exactly what to do/what to say to make it the best day ever! Thank you so much!

to try to get our winter wonderland engagement shoot. She was kind enough to schedule two sessions and said she was more than flexible to change day of … mind you we live two hours away from each other ! The first attempt didn’t go as planned however Rebekah ensured we would get our dream engagement shoot ! When the day finally came I was so nervous but the INSTANT we said hello, we felt as if we were with a life long friend- catching up on family , work, life, etc. We had SO much fun. She made us laugh, feel confident, while also capturing all the best angles of us and city backgrounds. She taught us how to pose and explained why and it made it that much better ! We got our pictures back so fast and the first words out of my fiancé’s mouth “I love them “ and he does not toss around the word love very often !! Every picture truly captured us as couple. After our session we both were on cloud 9. If this is how she makes us feel at our engagement session, I can’t imagine how our wedding will be. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for making our session an experience. We can’t wait to have you capture our day and many more life moments. There are so many skilled photographers out there, but hands down, Rebekah not only has the skill but the personality to make you feel your very best. Best. Decision.Ever .

the wedding day stress disappear because you can trust her to get the very best shots of your special day to have and to hold forever! Forever grateful for her and her one-of-a-kind work!

erations to come is a big deal! I immediately knew Rebekah was the right person for the job when we met. I felt instantly comfortable around her and knew she had the perfect personality to deal with my photo-phobic husband and draw him out of his shell — and that’s exactly what happened! Rebekah and her crew made us both feel at ease and they especially made me feel beautiful. That and her eye for the perfect shot (background, pose, etc) resulted in the most gorgeous and elegant photos that I could have ever wished for!! Do not even waste your time chatting with other photographers, Rebekah is the best!

os turned out. It was worthy every penny spent to see how good our pictures turned out. I am so thankful for her and she will be our family photographer for life.

d looked at other photographers, but I always came back to Rebekah. There was just something about her photos I was drawn to. Even after having to cancelled our wedding, I was picking my possible reschedule dates based on her availability. I am so glad that after all the changes everything worked out and she was able to be there for our big day! Rebekah, thank you so much for everything and for capturing the moments of this day so perfectly. I feel like I get to relive it every time I look at these pictures.

g memories with her that will last a lifetime.

ied 100 miles from her in the opposite direction. I met with NUMEROUS photographers closer to my home town/wedding venue, and not a single one of them was up to par with Rebekah's work and work ethic! You can look at just a few samples from Rebekah's portfolio to see that her photos are STUNNING. But what was best about Rebekah was her willingness to get to know us during our engagement shoot, her efficiency, her truly listening to our needs/wants, her willingness to work with us during changes that occurred due to COVID-19, and her amazing personality! Rebekah took time to get to know my fiancée and I during our engagement shoot to figure out what poses would and wouldn't work for us on our wedding day. This made Rebekah SO efficient in getting a ton of beautiful bride and groom photos in a short amount of time. She also has a "take-charge" demeanor that was very effective in riling up family and a loud bridal party for photos. Rebekah also knew that due to some changes that were made to our day-of timeline due to social distancing requirements that we were not going to have as much time for bride and groom photos as originally planned, so she ensured that she optimized her timeline to get us the amount of photos we were hoping for. Lastly, my mom still talks about how "amazing" Rebekah was in including close family and friends in the emotional experiences of the wedding day, and she captured REAL moments FLAWLESSLY on camera. As a side note, Rebekah created our "thank you's" after the wedding that we got SO many compliments on. Since she photographed the wedding, she was able to connect our theme into the 3-photo thank you card. She also took a portrait of me (the bride) that has only been referred to by others as looking like it's "straight out of a bridal magazine." Thank you, Rebekah, for a wonderful wedding photography experience. Please consider using Rebekah for any event you may have throughout the Midwest!

r. Her work is absolutely amazing.

you feel like she has been part of your family since the first minute you met her! The best part is you will have so many amazing photos you won’t know how to choose your favorites!! I planned my entire wedding around when she had availability and that was the best decision I ever made! When you make it to your 50th wedding anniversary all you will have is pictures and memories so don’t hesitate on choosing a photographer! Bekah is the best and you won’t be disappointed!!!

rk. Her style is what we dream our home will look like, light, bright, airy, and whimsical. Working with her and you will immediately know you are in the hands of a professional that cares about you as much as she cares about her craft.

ave sneak peeks back 😍 Not only do we love how they turned out, but we had SO much fun during our shoot. She has the most bubbly and fun personality, we were laughing the entire time. Choosing a photographer to capture one of your biggest days is such a hard decision, but I could not be more thankful already we chose her to capture ours. Would recommend her a million times.

from! Our save the dates were included in our package and she made a custom design that was exactly what I wanted! I would HIGHLY recommend Rebekah!!

h, is also great to work with as she is calm, perspective, intuitive and a natural with photography!

for one second. Rebekah truly has an eye for capturing true amazing moments and clearly has the ability to find others with that potential. Rebekah made us feel so comfortable and as if we always knew her. She was not only incredible at her true passion, photography but a kind and amazing person. She has been able to use her skill to touch the lives of so many lives and capture so many memories. I do not know how my wife and I were so lucky to have found Rebekah Albaugh photography but I will be thankful for it every day for the rest of my life. Thank you Rebekah for the professionalism, the time, the creativity, the kind heart, the upbeat personality and thank you for taking your passion and having it better the world. - Courtney & Jessica

ding, so Rebekah had to be in the city quite early, but she was such a trooper about it. I’m so excited to see the final photos and know I will work with her again in the future. Can’t recommend her enough!!

mazing reputation had preceded her, and we're so glad we made the investment.

l and extremely talented soul and it shows through her work. Her vision coupled with professionalism has given us photos we will cherish for a lifetime. She is a pleasure to work with. We will have no hesitation recommending her to others.

ut once I saw Rebekah's work, I knew she was exactly who I wanted to capture our big day. I was a little worried because it was a monsoon on our wedding day but she found a way to work around it and create beautiful images. Everyone tells me that our pictures look like they came out of a magazine or fairytale movie!
