Down-to-Earth with a Love for Adventures

If you and your fiancé wouldn't mind disappearing for a few minutes to catch the sunset or dream of hiking into a hidden waterfall the day after your wedding to twirl under misty droplets, than I am probably a good fit for you!

I picked up a camera years ago and fell in love with creating art with ladders in the apple orchard and stunning sunsets. But then I fell in love with capturing weddings and couples who want more than just a beautiful day - they want a beautiful love story.

I married the love of my life on September 7th, 2019, and we live in the beautiful Willamette Valley of Oregon. I love to travel, and have explored all over both Oregon and Washington. I place a high value on things like faith, family, laughter, and the little moments. I strongly believe in relationships over “stuff”, firm handshakes, and wildflowers picked from the side of old country roads. I truly cannot wait to meet you!

What to Expect From Me:

I will take charge during family formals. Almost every grandfather and dad makes a comment about how quickly the photos go. Your family deserves to feel comfortable and at ease.

I will turn into a bit of a weirdo behind the camera. Taking photos can feel awkward but trust me, I'm a pro at making even the most uncomfortable of people laugh and relax.

I'm an introverted extrovert, which means I can be as calm as a sleepy kitten, or as enthusiastic as a Golden Retriever. I take my cue from *you* and won't force you into a mood you're just not feeling.

Rebekah did our engagement and wedding photos and she over-exceeded anything we could’ve ever wanted.

Rebekah is an incredible kind, supportive, optimistic, hardworking, and creative person. You instantly feel comfortable with her. I definitely felt kind of awkward taking photos, yet Rebekah helped us pose and she put us at ease.

Her photos were just so dreamy and magical, those are the only 2 words I could think of.

Working with Rebekah was just a pure joy. She is amazing and she will not disappoint! Highly highly recommend working with Rebekah!! - Gracie R.

My toxic trait is seeing sunshine in January and t My toxic trait is seeing sunshine in January and thinking spring is here. 💀

And then my husband reminds me that it’s only January. 🤦🏻‍♀️😭

So if anyone wants to go ahead and book their golden hour summer session now so that I have something to look forward to, that would be great. 😂

Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE first looks and I th Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE first looks and I think they’re 110% worth it.

BUT.

When my husband and I got married, I knew that NOT having a first look was super important to him.

So, like a good little future-wife, I argued for awhile but then finally remembered that “oh hey, this is his wedding too so he should probably be allowed to make some of the decisions” and gave in.

And we didn’t have a first look.

AND IT WAS TOTALLY OKAY!

So, here’s my encouragement to you:

If neither of you feel strongly about *not* having a first look, then go ahead and have one!! It’s ABSOLUTELY worth it (for so many different reasons).

But, if after looking at all the info and reasons TO have a first look, one (or both) of you feel strongly that it’s just not something you want, that is MORE THAN OKAY.

My one piece of advice would be… find a photographer who can work quickly & efficiently so that your guests aren’t waiting around for too long between the ceremony ending and the reception officially beginning!
