Rebecca, Not only are your pictures amazing but you as an individual are too! When I first saw your pictures on your website and I started working with you I was impressed. As we continued to work together and met several times, my admiration grew. I honestly didn’t think I could be any more impressed and then…the wedding day arrived! Every wedding day has its challenges and my son’s was no exception. You quietly took control and guided us through the unexpected - offering advice when appropriate. And I thought you were “just” our photographer! So my first thank you is for your calm counsel and assistance with the wedding itself! My second thank you is for the way you worked with Phil and Gretchen. As you know, Phil was very apprehensive about having his picture taken formally. When I spoke to him after they arrived at the reception it was clear that he had fun. My third thank you is for the amazing pictures. I didn’t expect that I would wake up the day after the wedding and find 4 gorgeous pictures in my inbox. Both Gretchen and Phil look radiant – there is no other way to describe it. The way that you used the light produced spectacular images. I have shown the pictures to many people and every one of them have said “oh my gosh these are beautiful – they look like a magazine spread!” Phil and Gretchen called to thank us for the wedding and Gretchen was bubbling with enthusiasm over the pictures and Phil, who wasn’t going to put any pictures on his desk, is already talking about which picture of Gretchen to have printed! I cannot wait to see the rest of the pictures. And the entire family is looking forward to working with you again. – Nancy Whipple, Fremont, CA


The images are amazing! Everyone I have shared them with LOVES them! Thanks so much for documenting our special day in the rain! This experience was absolutely terrific! You are so super talented and got some of the cutest candid shots! – Karey & Ben – Chicago, IL


Oh, I love it! Thank you! I’m so glad we found you. You made all the difference! The images of us on your blog are fabulous (and I think that’s an understatement!). I love your work! You were phenomenal. Simply, I would not recommend any other photographer. You put us both at ease and in so doing got the best shots, better than we even hoped or wished for. There were so many it was hard to choose! You knew City Hall intimately and where to get the best shots. You kept us relaxed, even fed us! You caught the wonderful moments of our special day and captured the emotions perfectly — of us as a couple and with our loved ones. – Carla & Chris, San Francisco, CA


Our experience with Rebecca was nothing short of amazing! She is so professional, knowledgeable, talented and most importantly FUN! We are so thankful to have had her photograph our elopement where she acted as our photographer, coordinator and witness. Rebecca captured every moment of our day allowing us to show the pictures to our family and friends who have now said they felt as though they were there with how well EVERYTHING was photographed. -Brittney & Steven – Antioch, CA


Thank you so very much for everything you did to make our wedding perfect. I am so happy that I could have you as our wedding photographer. I love, love, love the pictures you sent us! They are just gorgeous!! I was like “who is this beautiful girl in this picture?”:-) – Kana & Scott – San Francisco, CA


If you are getting married at City Hall (or anywhere else for that matter), you’d be crazy not to use Rebecca. She was so much more than I photographer for us. Not only did she know all of the best spots to get beautiful pictures, but she also knew where we needed to be, at what time, who knew what, who to avoid, etc., etc. She’s an expert on the location, so it’s like getting an amazing photographer plus City Hall guide in one. She made everything so smooth and effortless. Then to see the shots she created: Wow! They were stunning! I can’t recommend her enough. – Sarah & Mike, San Francisco, CA


Rebecca, thank you so much for photographing our big day. Picutres are not usually our ‘thing’ so we were a little apprehensive, but we had such a blast with you and couldn’t imagine our day without you there documenting it for us! Our families were very excited to meet you and were impressed with your professionalism and organization. Although we had never met you in person before [the wedding], we felt as though we had….and that made taking pictures more comfortable! During our 10 years together, we have never had professional photos taken of us, so this was an incredibly memorable experience, and we are very glad to have chosen YOU as our photographer! Thank you again for all of your hard work and dedication! – Mike & Lina – Torrance, CA


Wow wow wow!!! The pictures look amazing!! I love it!! Thank you Rebecca! You are awesome!! Wow!! These pictures are beautiful!! The picture with me and my dad still makes me cry! -Maiko & Joel – San Francisco, CA


Rebecca, thank you so much for your wonderful work. I enjoyed the photographing session and appreciated your chill attitude. The photos look great! Chris’s family had a reception, and they played the slide show from your blog, which was liked by all. Including us, of course!! – Veronica & Chris – Oxford, England


“Oh. My. Goodness! These photos are absolutely amazing! Tyler and I are thrilled just looking at these! You are so absolutely talented! We cannot thank you enough for working with us! I am actually still stunned after looking at the slideshow. The photos are beautiful…truly stunning! I know at times it was difficult at times to capture the shot that you wanted, but thank you for staying cheerful and working with us. You are the best! You have proved to be much, much more than just our wedding photographer, and I can’t tell you how much we appreciate it! Thank you so much.” -Natalie & Tyler – San Francisco, CA

OMG we just died! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! And the kind intro you wrote made me cry – you really explained what Adam and I have for each other…that feeling that is deeper than love, it’s “fondness!” I think that is what will keep us together and happy. So thank you – I’d say more but I’m a bit at a loss right now! – Emily & Adam – Los Angeles, CA


Thanks so much, Rebecca! These are amazing. You made the whole day work so smoothly. We can’t thank you enough! – Sarah & Eric – Berkeley, CA


These are terrific, Rebecca. The photos are soooooo wonderful! Exactly what we wanted. They’re lovely, and we can’t wait for the prints!! We all love them, even just the preview ones, everyone was saying how amazing they were! Thank you again for the wonderful job you’ve done in capturing probably the happiest, most memorable day of our lives. -Anthony & Sarah – Oakland, CA


We loved the pictures Rebecca took of our wedding. She definitely has her own style which we liked first time we saw her pictures. She knows every corner of the City Hall and has an amazing package for couples who want to have their ceremony held in this beautiful place. We started from the top of the building and went down to the first floor before the ceremony and we had time to go outside to take more pictures after the ceremony with family. We booked Rebecca for additional two hours after the ceremony to take photos of us at our favorite locations – North Beach and Baker Beach. She is very aware of light and had us moving quickly between locations to capture the shots we wanted. She is easy to work with and we had a lot of fun. We love our pictures and we are glad that she was our photographer for such a special day. – Alice & Stan – San Francisco, CA


We found Rebecca’s blog on San Francisco City Hall weddings and our decision was made instantly. Rebecca’s style was like no other and it was exactly how we wanted our day documented. We were in Texas, she’s in California but that didn’t matter. From start to finish she went above and beyond what most photographers would have done. Even from a long distance she is thorough, communicative, concise and easy to get along with. It was like having an additional family member present at our ceremony. Choosing Rebecca to document our special day was the best decision we made! We still remain in communication with her to this day and have high hopes that we will again use her services.Rebecca & Cesar – Houston, TX


What an absolutely amazing job you did for our wedding! We (and EVERYONE who sees them) continue to be blown away. Thank you, thank you, thank you for these memories and for the beautiful words on your blog post. WE are honored to have had you spend the day with us. ♥ – Lauryn & Jayd – San Francisco, CA


You are absolutely amazing!!!! I love them! I have been staring at the photos since I got in to work this morning at 8am. I forwarded them to my sister and she loved them, but more importantly Louis and I loved the piece you wrote about us. During our honeymoon in Colombia, a good chunk of our time was spent reminiscing about our ceremony and how great you were to us. The nice thing about having a small, intimate ceremony is that every person who was involved/attended is very special to us and remembered very fondly. You blended nicely into our small family circle as if we knew you all along…..it was very comfortable, fun and warming to have you as our photographer. We enjoyed every moment! We got so lucky to have you as our photographer!” -Carmen & Louis – San Jose, CA


OMG. We love the photos!! I couldn’t possibly be happier with them. I can’t stop looking at them. They tell such a perfect story of the day, and you really got some great moments that we will remember forever. And my sister (also a photographer back on the east coast) was blown away, she loves them too! We are really, truly, extremely pleased with the photos. I can’t wait to show them to everyone!! Thank you so much! -Jennifer & Ted – San Francisco, C


We are so lucky to have chosen you to be the recorder of our special day. You made us feel at home during the whole process. It was like the six of us together hanging out as a family. You will always be in the happiest memory of our life. The photos are amazing! All of our families and friends LOVE the pics. They keeep telling us how beautiful the venue was, and how good we (especially the bride) looked. My sister told me she was so moved that she cried when she looked at the photos. We sincerely thank you for presenting our wedding in such a fabulous way. Your work truly made our wedding special, and made one of the most important memories in our life so warm, sweet, and glamorous. We really can’t thank you enough! -Peicheng & Yaqin – Los Angeles, CA


- Rebecca was my first choice for my wedding photographer! Her photographs speak for themselves. She was extremely professional and organized during the planning stages and made us feel at ease. On the our wedding day, she was fantastic! When needed, she took charge in a way that wasn’t pushy—just like part of the family. At other times she hung back and captured moments that were special and allowed me to see moments that I “missed” that day. Overall, I couldn’t have had a better experience. The photos are fantastic and Rebecca is professional, down-to-earth, extremely knowledgeable, unobtrusive, warm, organized and very, very talented. I hope to have her document many more events in my life. I highly recommend her. – Gina & Michael – Oakland, CA


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
I have a semi-professional camera, which allows me to take pictures in automatic mode. When I decided to learn how to shoot in manual mode, I went online to search for someone who could give me private lessons. That’s when I met Rebecca who, within two meetings, took my photography skills to the next level. Now I take pictures only in manual mode and I know how to use Lightroom to download and organize my photos — all thanks to Rebecca. Whether you are a beginner or professional photographer, I highly recommend Rebecca to enhance your understanding and skill set. She’s knowledgeable, patient, and clear in her instruction, an overall delight to be with. - Anya R. – Sausilito, CA
Rebecca is wonderful. She shot some product shots and model shots for promotional material for me and went above and beyond. She is professional and hard working and delivered more than what I had been expecting. Excellent quality and fun to work with with. I highly recommend her. Thank you Rebecca. - Nicolas T./www.FreeMeditationBench.com
I really enjoyed my private photography lessons with Rebecca during my last visit in the Bay Area. Through our e-mails, I could tell that she was very reliable and experienced. The lesson themes were tailored to my individual needs. I found working with Rebecca relaxing and comfortable and I was very pleased with her professionalism and expertise. Rebecca, thanks for answering all my questions and enriching the lessons with valuable tips. I warmly recommend you and surely contact you again for further lessons the next time I am in the Bay Area! – Falvia L. – Dusseldorf, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Germany
Not only is Rebecca is an amazing photographer, but she is organized and resourceful which is super helpful when trying to plan a wedding. We flew into San Francisco from Vancouver for a City Hall wedding, we planned the whole thing from a distance. Trying to get information on the process for City Hall ceremonies was pretty difficult through the government website, it was very matter-of-fact but didn’t take into account a lot of the more emotional aspects of the ceremony. I found Rebecca through her blog and loved her work, so I decided to reach out to her. She had tons of experience photographing weddings at City Hall which I really liked (she knew the building well, knew lots of great nooks to get good shots in etc.) but she also knew all about the process! She gave me tons of great info about how long it really takes, how much time there is in between registering and the actual ceremony if you want to go to the bathroom for hair/makeup or ‘costume’ changes etc, and tips on how City Hall really handles the guest limits, among other things. It was so great to talk to someone who had been to so many SF City Hall weddings before and knew the full deal. Luckily she was available on our day so we booked her in. Booking Rebecca to photograph our wedding day is one of the best decisions we made out of everything we did. She was easy and fun to work with, very creative, and very respectful of our family, our space, and the special nature of the day. At the end of the day all you really want are really great photographs that capture your wedding day, and if someone is really easy and warm to work with that’s a bonus. Rebecca is all of those things, and her photographs are stunning! We literally had people tell us our wedding photos were the best they had ever seen! They are absolutely beautiful and totally capture us and the special day. Whether you are having a City Hall ceremony or a large wedding event, if Rebecca is available I highly recommend you book her before someone else does
She’s the best! - Zoe & Leo – Vancouver, British Columbia
