“Rebecca, have I mentioned how much I *love* the photos yet? If I haven’t please accept my apologies. I had no idea that I could have a decent photo taken of myself, and yet there is evidence that it’s possible! Thank you again for making our day so special and stress-free.”
Mary & Jeff, Fairfax, VA
“Thank you so much for taking the most astounding photographs of our wedding. Not only were they artistically beautiful, but they were well-presented and framed. You’re truly talented! If we need any work done in the future, we know who to call!”
-Linda & Frank, San Francisco, CA
“A good photographer blends into the background and can capture their subject in their most natural, pure and essential element and this is what Rebecca does brilliantly. What distinguishes her from other photographers is her keen eye — she has an eye for angles, props, lighting and backgrounds and she really makes her subjects feel at home. It really helps that she’s a wonderful person too and so fun to hang out with it doesn’t feel like you’re working. I absolutely loved working with Rebecca and would recommend her without any reservation!”
-Hema K., San Francisco, CA
“My gosh, Rebecca, you did a beautiful, beautiful job with me. These are stunning. What impresses me most is your compositional talents. Each and every shot is beautifully composed. You also captured tons of personality. Greg and I just went thru them all as a slideshow. My gosh we’re impressed! You and Alexis (the make up artist) now need to follow me around wherever I go, so that I’ll look way better than I actually do! I’m really grateful to you, Rebecca. You deserve fabulous success. Anyone can take a shot of a 20-year-old. You took images that conveyed my personality-plus, gorgeous, beautifully framed photos of a woman in her mid-fifties in a venue fit for a queen. The ones you put into b/w and sepia are stunning, every one of them. I’ll definitely want those. Darn, Rebecca, you are truly amazing. Thank you so very, very much.”
-Jane Shattuck, Barbados
“Wow! The images are absolutely perfect. Thank you so much. We can’t wait to share with friends and family! Rebecca is an incredible photographer with a great eye. The images are stunning. Perhaps even more important, Rebecca’s energy and easy-going demeanor took all of the stress out of the day. Her presence made the whole occasion feel more special. I can’t recommend her strongly enough.”
-Danny & Rob, San Francisco, CA
“THANK YOU for the BEAUTIFUL pictures!! Everyone has told us that they love the photos and I think a few people have even ordered some online. People have asked for your information and Eduardo, our paella chef, was thinking about contacting you to add a link to your website on his website. Even more so, everyone at the wedding said what a pleasure it was to have you around. I thought I’d pass on the kudos since you won’t hear them all. Tim and I want to thank you for preserving our wedding day with such amazing work. We are overjoyed with our photos and how you captured our day. Not only do we love the photos, we enjoyed having you at our wedding. It was nice to have you around and you were there for it all and just blended in with the gang. The only thing I regret, we didn’t get a photo with YOU!!”
-Krista & Tim~Berkeley, CA
“Its [www.rebeccawilkowski.com] clean, stylish look delightfully contrasts with often cutting-edge images. Her galleries run the gamut from fashion to weddings to documentary. If it’s out there, Wilkowski shoots it! Photographically, she has equal dexterity with color and black and white, especially when photographing people. While we’ve seen all of these wedding images before, their spontaneity shows Wilkowski has fun when creating them and her clients appreciate it. By contrast, the landscape photographs include an interesting blend of traditional with a splash of colora lagniappeto delight the eyes. Likewise, her architectural images lean more toward documentary than standard photographs of buildings and their bits and pieces…The shot of the circle of flags, however, did knock me out. Wilkowski is clearly a young person with a future and I look forward to watching her progress on this site.”

“Rebecca was just awesome! She is fun, open minded, personable, imaginative and proactive while also being utterly professional. Her services were worth EVERY PENNY. We wish we could afford to fly her to us every time we have a significant event in need of capturing on film! We asked Rebecca to keep some things in mind while shooting (my husband is a foot taller than me, I don’t care for extreme close-ups) and she was respectful of our hang-ups and did not even once ask us to pose or do anything that was uncomfortable. Rebecca was totally easy to work with and will take the initiative to make you comfortable with the planning of your day and the best execution of your photos before, during and afterward. Absolutely no attitude. We communicated 2-3 months before the wedding both by phone and e-mail about what our expectations were and what we wanted the end result to be, as well as how we wanted to spend our time in San Francisco. She made herself accessible to us and ALWAYS returned phone calls and e-mails in a timely fashion, both before the wedding and after. Bottom line is that every bride wants to feel and look beautiful on her wedding day, right? Rebecca made me feel just that, and I don’t even like getting my picture taken! In fact it gives me a lot of anxiety. But I completely trusted her and was comfortable with her and decided to do my best to relax and let the professional do what she did best. It was an incredible and FUN experience. Our wedding/honeymoon, and the preserved memories, would not have been the same without Rebecca. We have absolutely no regrets or complaints! We went into our elopement planning to, and absolutely willing to, pay for good photography. That was our one luxury we afforded ourselves. At all costs, the pictures would be worth it, and they are! We are just thrilled with the final wedding album…it is beautiful, very special and absolutely priceless.”
-Lee & Conor~Chicago, IL
“Rebecca was attentive and thorough. She cared about making us happy and went the extra mile to meet our requests. We asked for a slide show to music and she worked very hard to produce an exceptional DVD that we showed to guests at the wedding reception. She took some of most beautiful engagement photos that we’ve seen. The wedding shots and album are spectacular. Thank you Rebecca!”
-Sally & Lorin~Richmond, CA
“Bek, the photos are amazing and far exceeded our expectations! WOW, we look really good …is that really us?? Thank you SO, SO much. We haven’t had time to pick our favorites yet, but in the meantime we’re enjoying drooling over them. We both feel so honored and grateful to have had you there, capturing so many amazing moments. Including you in the intimate moments of our wedding was an absolute delight. Never before have either of us felt so at ease in front of a camera. Your presence is exceedingly gentle and unobtrusive; you have that rare photographer’s ability to make your subjects feel relaxed and beautiful, even in the midst of pre-wedding nerves. Simply said, you’re a blast to be around, and your photos are simply stunning. We feel incredibly grateful to have had you and your talent with us on our magical day. We will certainly be recommending you to our family and friends. Thank you, thank you, thank you!”
-Ada & Peter~Seattle, WA
“Only a few minutes after meeting Rebecca, we both knew that she would be the best photographer for our wedding, and didn’t search for anybody else. Our wedding was not a conventional one; when we told her the ceremony would be at the beach, with a reception to follow in a barn at a local goat cheese farm, she showed only enthusiasm and shared in our excitement. She was full of very useful advice, yet made every effort to ensure that our vision of how the day should be was fulfilled. Rebecca put in much more effort than we would have expected; she came and scouted out both locations on several occasions, both with and without us, to suggest the best spots, and to make sure she was prepared to get the nicest shots. She even brought her own lighting system for the interior of the barn to ensure the photos would be perfect. The ambience that the lighting created enhanced, rather than detracted from, the atmosphere. Rebecca placed no official time restrictions on us; she was there from the first bridal preparations, until the last of our guests staggered home. Having Rebecca as our photographer was one of the best decisions we could have made in preparing and planning our wedding. She was like having an extra friend at the wedding who just also happened to be taking the photos! The choice of photos was tremendous, it took a lot of effort to pick our favorites; a mix of ‘arty’, journalistic, and the requisite poses with family. Our album encompasses the whole day perfectly. We would both highly recommend you choose Rebecca for your wedding, or any event for which it is important to have a thorough record to keep the wonderful memories fresh in your minds.

“From the very beginning Becky did an outstanding job! She was great about telling us everything she needed in advance, so we had a good idea what to expect on our wedding day. As a result, everything ran very smooth. Becky was very patient and professional while working our family. She took both fun and formal pictures and they all came out fantastic! She does a superb job of going beyond the regular still-shots to capture the most candid and memorable moments. Becky was at our wedding from beginning to end. She was dedicated to capturing every moment with the utmost quality, from when we were getting ready, all the way up until when we left the reception. She even stayed after WE left to continue taking pictures of our guests dancing! When the pictures were in, Becky gave us over 700 photos to choose from, and we loved them all! She even sent us a beautiful wedding album to put our favorites in! Becky is a first-class photographer who offers an exceptional product, value and service, and I recommend her to anyone who is looking for a great photographer.

“I do have to tell you that I love looking in our wedding album. I feel like I have an album filled with beautiful pictures of a beautiful woman who looks like me! I am certainly not, under normal circumstances, that pretty! Your pictures give us images of a completely magical day, one in which we were clearly happy, enjoying ourselves, and totally comfortable. Thank you for your sweet, creative and loving energy on that day, and for these memories.”
-Jennifer & Bruce – San Diego, CA
“Your work is phenomenal. It is nothing short of being provocative, essence, clarity and invigorating. Artistry suits you well, as does beauty. If one could become an artist of life in the way that your photography is done, much energy would be moved in a lifetime. ”
-Arjun Shiva – San Diego, CA
“Thank you so much for bringing your great energy and artistic eye to our wedding. We had a great time and it was easy to keep smiling for you. Your photos are just wonderful and captured our day from beginning to end.”
-Erin & Ken~San Diego, CA
“I never thought I was photogenic until I did a photo shoot with Becky. I was so surprised at how I could look! She had a great eye for poses and colors that really flattered me even colors I thought I couldn’t wear. Her creativity with lighting, backgrounds, and wardrobe made for some truly unique and eye-catching photos. Working with Becky was fun and easy; she always made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. Whenever I felt nervous, she utilized great techniques that relaxed me and allowed me to express myself naturally. It is obvious that Becky loves photography, and her passion makes working with her a great experience with excellent results.”
-Fiamma A.~Brooklyn, NY
“Thank you so much for the beautiful photos. I have had a tremendous amount of compliments on our album. Everyone loves them and thinks you did a wonderful job. Many people tell me how I must have had a great photographer. The album you put together is perfect; I love looking through the pictures. The storybook style of the album has made it nice for those who were not able to make it to the wedding. Not only is the quality of your photos great, but so is your service. I am extremely grateful for how you took charge and kept me calm when it counted most. You did a wonderful job of taking photos when the scenery was less than optimal, and you took difficult situations and made them work perfectly. Having you for our photographer took away much of my stress! The fact that you were with us from start to finish, and I mean from me getting ready in the morning to us driving off at midnight, was very special. There are not many photographers who would stay after the group shots, especially at the affordable price you charged. Your work is professional, personal and you go way beyond what is expected. I couldn’t have asked for a better photographer, and I have already recommended you to others. Thank you so much for all your hard work!”
-Dustine & Brad~Yuma, AZ
“Because my smile is sometimes one-sided and mistaken as a sneer, I often do not photograph well. However, Rebecca patiently waited for the shots that showed the best sides of me, capturing me in a way that was flattering. (In my case, this meant a lot of waiting!) I am very proud of the photos she took, and I’d recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.”
