hello

April 1st, 2009

Thanks for visiting. I’m Rebecca and I am a wedding and portrait photographer based in Durham, North Carolina.

There is nothing gimmicky here. There are no radical textures, no painting, nothing that will go out of fashion in ten years.

Just real photography. Of real people.

Look around. Peruse my portfolio. You can even look at entire wedding on the ‘clients’ page. If you like my style and are interested in having me shoot your super fun wedding, family, newborn photos or boudoir session- click contact. I would LOVE to meet you….

Sam + Christine: Married! | JC Raulston Arboretum. Raleigh, NC

May 16th, 2012

I can’t say enough nice things about Sam and Christine. They are such wonderful people, and their wedding reflected how wonderful they are. There was this amazing outpouring of emotion. It had everything, I laughed, I cried. I was sorry to see the day end but am so thrilled that these two are together.

These three portraits of Sam were taken by the fabulous Caroline Lima, of Caroline Lima Photography

Thank you to Christine and Sam for having me on such a special day in your life. For making me feel so welcome. For making me feel like your friend and not just your photographer. Here’s to your long life together.

xoxo,

Becci

Kristin and Matt: Engaged! | Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival. Pittsboro, NC

April 25th, 2012

Kristin and Matt had a completely different session from what I usually shoot. It was so great to do something like this. So, we headed down to the Shakori Hills Grassroots Festival in Pittsboro and had a little engagement session. It was great. There were kids everywhere, musicians playing, arts and crafts, vendors, and people just having a fantastic time.

Kristin was able to borrow some masks from the Paperhand Puppet Intervention and they were so fun!

Thank you both so much for planning something so fun with me. I hope this is just the first of many shoots like this.

Alex loves Kate: Married! | Corolla, NC

April 23rd, 2012

Alex and Kate had an amazing (beach/backyard/party) wedding in the Outer Banks. They had all their closest friends out for a few days on the beach, so everyone could have a great time, and had a grand finale with a wedding. It was such a great idea. I’m so glad that they decided to have a first look. It was so sweet and touching.Instead of the typical bridal bouquet, Kate carried sparklers down the aisle!!! Daisy, the dog/ring bearer, didn’t want to give up those rings quite yet!!
