Love Notes
Raves
“I first checked out Rebecca’s Instagram and she had the style of photography that my now husband and I wanted. After booking with her and going through the process, Rebecca exceeded our expectations ten fold. Just talking to her on the phone, I felt a connection and knew we could trust her to capture one of the most important days of our lives. Once you meet her, you can tell this girl has experience in making her clients feel comfortable and at the same time gets the job done! We got our engagement photos done through Rebecca, too. Let me tell you, I am awkward with pictures and don’t know how to pose for the life of me-but she was able to give us directions on poses and the pictures turned out amazing!! Day of our wedding, I was feeling super anxious. As soon as Rebecca arrived, she was smiling and ready to go, and her aura was calm and collected which helped me feel a lot better. You definitely need a spirit like hers around you on your wedding day-trust me! We had a pretty crazy group of bridesmaids and groomsmen (it was also really cold outside) so if you can imagine 18 people outside, teeth jittering and acting like 30-nagers, getting group pictures would be a nightmare for anyone else. Rebecca was able to lay down the law in the sweetest way possible, to get pictures done in the most efficient way. She coordinated with the venue and our DJ so if there were any changes in our schedule, all parties were aware and they then would let me know of the changes. It made the night so easy for us. To wrap this all up, my husband and I highly recommend Rebecca Haley Photography. Seriously one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!”
“Having Rebecca as our photographer for engagement pictures, boudoir photos, and for our wedding was the absolute best and easiest decision we made during our entire wedding planning process! After stalking my husband’s friend’s wedding photos over two years ago and falling in love with all of them, I knew I had to have her as our photographer…..once we got engaged. The day after we got engaged I reached out to her and we met for dinner soon after. We had the best time with Rebecca and we have loved her so much since! Not only does she have an amazing talent as a photographer, she is also an incredible person as well, who we are lucky enough to call our forever friend! She has such a calming, happy, energetic, bubbly personality that is so easy to love! She made us feel so comfortable and it was like having one of my good friends shooting our engagement pictures, boudoir photos, and wedding photos. She truly captures the shots you have always dreamed of, and they are breathtaking! She is able to take charge of a big wedding party and families to get photos captured quickly and efficiently, all while being so sweet, kind, fun, and energetic. Our whole wedding party loved her! Something that we appreciated so very much on our wedding day was there was a rain forecasted to be starting around the time we were going to be doing pictures after the ceremony and Rebecca and Marina timed it out perfectly that we were able to get family photos taken at the church after the ceremony, but she was also able to get us all out and on the trolley with the wedding party and get our pictures before the storm came in. It did start raining towards the end, but she knew the honeycomb in Lincoln Park was one of the spots we wanted to do pictures, and it was covered! When it started sprinkling she had clear umbrellas for our wedding party ready for us, and I truly love the shots with the umbrellas! I highly recommend doing the boudoir photos as well. It’s a great gift to your husband, a day to pamper yourself which is so enjoyable in the midst of wedding planning, and Rebecca made it SO FUN during the session! I wish every day we could go back and have our wedding day all over again, but the photos let us live the entire day again and we couldn’t be happier! Thank you Rebecca for making our wedding day complete, and for being such a wonderful friend along the way! We look forward to continuing our friendship, and absolutely working together again in the future!”
“Cannot brag enough about this phenomenal photographer and kind soul!!! Becca photographed our wedding last weekend (9/9/17) and she was just a joy to have with us all day long. Not only did she take the most amazing photographs but she was a beautiful presences to have by our side all day. We never felt like we had a paparazzi with us all day, but rather a good friend! She really captured our joy and happiness while making us look so glamorous and dreamy at the same time!! I cannot wait to see the full album and hope to have her photograph all future memories to come!!! Anyone who is lucky enough to book Beeca for their wedding is blessed!!”
“Becca is truly talented. She took our engagement photos, my boudoir photos, and now our wedding photos, and I cannot imagine ever using anyone else! She is a master at her craft- and a joy to work with. She traveled to Lexington, KY to shoot our special day, and went above and beyond to scope out the area prior to the wedding to make sure we had the best backdrops. Becca even posted a handful of preview shots just a few hours after our reception ended- it was the best way to wake up the morning after our wedding! Becca has an eye unlike I’ve ever seen, and her natural light photographs are stunning! Thank you a thousand times over, Becca! We love you!”
“Hiring Becca as our photographer was the best decision we could have made! Not only does she have a fun, bubbly personality and a kind soul, she is extremely talented! She has a way of making you feel so calm and at ease, while also incorporating her fun personality. Both our engagement and wedding photos turned out absolutely gorgeous! The way she’s able to capture our love so candidly is truly remarkable. You can tell she is so passionate about what she does, and her work reflects that. We walked away from our wedding with some beautiful memories, beautiful photos, and an incredible friendship we will forever cherish. Thank you Becca, we love you!!”
“I’ve been trying to find the right words to post here and everywhere to tell everyone why she is seriously THE BEST. I’ve told everyone that even before we got engaged, I knew I *had* to have her as our photographer & honestly she was the ONLY one on our list! A month before the wedding, she met with us to get to know us as a couple & (of course) to discuss the wedding. We immediately hit off & after hours of laughs & good food, I knew we made the right choice. While walking back to the car after a fun night, (she doesn’t know this but) my fiancé & I BOTH said to one another, “man she’s great …. & so fun! I’m so happy we booked her. Our wedding is going to be awesome.” Rebecca has a great bubbly & carefree personality that makes you feel SO comfortable in front of the camera. “If it feels uncomfortable, then it looks great. Trust me!” & she was right. We’ve gotten a sneak peek of our photos & love them already, I know seeing the rest will only bring me (happy – ugly maybe Kim K cry) tears. I don’t know how I’ll choose how to narrow down which ones to hang in our new home. I mean we just might have to have an entire of all just some of our favorites from the wedding 😉 When people tell me how amazing our photos are, how lovely she was & what a great interaction they had with her, I respond with, “I KNOW! She’s SO good 🙂 !” HAHA! I’ll tell everyone til I’m blue in the face, book her, get her early, she’s worth it and you won’t regret it. She is one of the reasons why I wish we could do our wedding all over again because we absolutely are in love with our photos. So thank you Rebecca for being a *big* part of one of our best days ever, we can’t thank you enough for being capturing the sweet memories. We love you and consider you a forever friend.”
“There is no better wedding/boudoir/engagement photographer than Rebecca. We hired Rebecca to shoot our engagement photos, wedding, boudoir, and now family photos. We will continue to hire her time and time again because not only is her work beautiful, but she is just the most amazing person. I have been trying to find the right words to leave a review for over a year and none of them seem to be good enough. Rebecca’s work speaks for itself, she is incredibly talented, is so knowledgeable in this business, and you can tell that she loves what she does. Rebecca Is not just a photographer, she is an amazing person with the biggest heart (and I swear to god she gives the warmest hugs). She photographed our engagement photos where she made us laugh so hard we had tears in our eyes. She took my boudoir photos where she reminded me how strong and beautiful my body was despite any blemish or stretch mark I had. And she shot our wedding where she went above and beyond a photographers duties. She helped bustle my dress, pinned the flowers on all the groomsmen, and even went to the kitchen to have someone’s plate of food fixed so that I didn’t have to worry about it. If what I’ve said hasn’t convinced you to hire her yet, then hear this. She does not just show up to your wedding to photograph it. She shows up and does everything in her power to give people the best experience on their big day. Rebecca was the best decision we made for our wedding and she has given us memories and a friendship that we will cherish forever. We love you Rebecca Haley photography team!”
“Rebecca was hands down the best photographer you could hope for on your wedding day! The photos and blog post are just breathtaking- I have had so many friends and family members tell me that these are the most beautiful photos they’ve ever seen! Not only did she take phenomenal photos of our special day, she was professional, sweet, energetic and so fun.. and she was literally there when I needed her the most, fully stocked with water and deodorant! All jokes aside, she met with us a few times before the big day and answered all of our silly questions and made us feel so comfortable. On the wedding day, there was an event at the gardens where we planned to shoot our first look, and she ended up coming up with an even better alternative.. a beautiful, private garden near our venue… and we were so thankful! Choosing someone to memorialize the most important day of your life is a huge decision, and I’m so glad we chose Rebecca!”
“After stalking Rebecca on Instagram (long before I was even engaged), I knew that I wanted Rebecca to photograph our wedding. After meeting with her in person and getting to know her sweet personality as well, it was a no brainer to book her for our Sept wedding. Booking Rebecca was hands down the best decision we made during the entirety of wedding planning. On the big day, I was excited, anxious, nervous – all the emotions – and Rebecca had such a calming, yet energizing and fun, presence and effect on myself, my husband, and everyone else around her. It truly felt like we just had another friend along for the day, and I think everyone else felt the same way. We received so many comments from our wedding party, guests, and parents about how much they enjoyed getting to work with and just simply be around Rebecca that day. Now the photos….THE PHOTOS. They are breathtaking. We are so in love with every single picture Rebecca & her associate Marina (who is also awesome!!) captured, both on our wedding day and during our engagement session, and we’ve received so many compliments on all of them. Rebecca’s skill, styling, and eye for the perfect shot is impeccable. Throughout the day she would show me shots on her camera to make sure she was getting the types of photos I wanted but I never had to direct her to take anything different than what she was already perfectly doing. We’re so grateful to have worked with such a wonderful human being and to have such amazing photos to help us remember our wedding day for years to come. THANK YOU!”
“Let’s start off by saying Rebecca is the sweetest soul! Everyone in our wedding party loved working with her. She truly takes the time to get to know her couples to make sure there is a connection. On the day of our wedding Rebecca kept me calm even though we were behind on the timeline. She made up for time by making sure everyone was well orchestrated. Rebecca even made our hard to smile nieces die laughing. We received our pictures is a very timely manner and they are stunning. Rebecca is so worth it for your wedding day!”
