About Rebekah
For those of you speak typology I am INFJ 4w5.
For those of you who don't. I'm the feeling, intuitive, introvert person that lives for deep connections, is attentive and sensitive to human emotion, detail oriented, all while seeing the bigger picture.
It's the perfect blend of characteristics for a professional wedding photographer if I do say so myself!
My Story
2015-2018 I was a stressed out twenty-something nurse manager dreaming of retirement. Throughout our friendship that ultimately ended up in marriage, my husband instilled in me the courage to pursue what I loved.
Quitting was scary and I didn't have much of a plan, my only certainty was that my endeavor needed to be one of service and allowed me to connect with people. I honestly didn't expect photography to be at the end of my pursuit but now, I am so in love with what I do.
I believe my love for personal connection and serving people are traits that drive my desire to curate a highly personalized photography experience that tells your story authentically.
My Favorite Review
"...I was enamored by her eye, the way every couple were casted in such gorgeous/stunning photos. Each subject was celebrating something special but absolutely no photo was the same. She highlights that no two stories are alike. Rebekah made this whirlwind so easy, from the zoom meetings that replaced face to face meetings- We knew that she was the one we wanted to help illustrate our story. Rebekah is extremely talented and it shows in her gallery. The utmost professional but made you feel like we were long lost friends. That familiarity made you let your guard down and feel at ease. I don’t know how she did it but she managed to capture every moment in a way that each shot tells its own story in its own way. I wouldn’t change a thing on that December day. As if I couldn’t say anything better about our experience her turnaround from shoot to editing to publishing was extremely fast. We will definitely be repeat clients. Thank you for telling our story! Heres to us and your continued success."
My Why
So, What's with the sailboat?
-
The TLDR: The sailboat for me was supposed to be my first tattoo, but then I chickened out.
The deeper story is:
For me, the sailboat represents the tender, vulnerable times in my life. The times when I never thought I would grow out of who I was, times I was scared I wouldn't overcome some of my darkest days, and all the times I felt weak, insignificant, and not special and how in those tumultuous seas, God was sovereign and by His grace, I overcame.
-
It goes without saying that we all have our seasons of deep turmoil and grand over-comings and whether we like it or not, it's what that makes us who we are. And who you are is why you are loved by the person who's promising you their forever.
-
This has nothing to do with photography but everything to do with what makes people so interesting to me. You are a living, breathing story, unique and special. And I hope understand as I do, that with trust and a little connection, we can create memories in the form of images that will speak your legacy to those you will eventually leave behind.

Something Personal
I love documenting my life on vintage film because its unapologetic, imperfect, simple, and it comes out already looking like a memory!
I have a collection of home videos that I've created for my personal archive and cannot wait to show my future children. These silly films will carry my legacy on after I leave this world and I hope they serve my loved ones and our memories together well. Life is too short to fake perfection and it's too short to show a story that is an embellishment of the truth. I deeply believe that the truth in these memories will be something my loved ones will thank me for.
