i’m rebecca, born and raised in california.
i sift through pebbles looking for specks of gold.
i'm a documentary wedding photographer.
I love capturing real people.
Real moments.
Real emotions.
I'm all about cutting the bullshit out of weddings and getting down to what's at the heart of the matter:
love, family, community, connection.
let's get real.
Why do so many wedding advertisements look the same?
Sure, it's aesthetics -- but what's aesthetics, at the end of the day?
Do you want to remember your wedding day as an advertisement… or as real life?
Are you living for the 'gram?
Or do you want to open a book full of photos years from now and relive the day, moment by moment?
Is your wedding going to be unique?
Would you like to have a team of vendors that is truly your team, on your side?
Is it possible to be a radical wedding photographer?
Is it possible to have a feminist, inclusive, communal wedding?
Yes, I know it's possible -- because I'm a part of this community.
Las Otras. The Others. The ones who walk outside of the mainstream.
You and your significant other aren't a part of the status quo.
You want images that reflect that. And a photographer who reflects that, too.
hey, that’s me! rebecca!
Yes, I have lived my whole life in California: all throughout the San Gabriel Valley, the San Bernadino desert, and Orange County strip malls; making my bed in Hollywood bungalows, a ramschackle apartment above Dodger Stadium, and beneath Pasadena palm trees. I have a well-loved library card for every place I’ve ever lived in.
When I was little, I wanted to be an actor, a director, or a writer. As an adult, I worked in publishing, theatre and the film industry, and I realized that they all had one common thread: storytelling.
let's live in the moment.
I love being a documentary wedding photographer, because I'm in love with love,
and color and light,
and ethics and diversity,
and above all else,
authenticity.
Because you want to remember this moment as it really is.
I can capture that for you.
I'll be your fly on the wall--
As well as your compadre, your advice-giver, your moral support.
“A friend of mine, looking through the photos Rebecca sent us post-wedding, sent me screenshots of at least five and said “Look! These are your souls.” They really were. Rebecca caught our souls on paper, in the best way possible.”

In my career as a photographer, I have shot a lot of different subjects.
And you know what? More than anything else,
I love weddings.
I love capturing weddings.
I love how each one is a reflection of you,
and all the people who surround you.
Your people.
In any given moment, there is so much joy to be found…
And a wedding is such a huge moment!
So it's like your wedding is a treasure trove of joy... and you can see the top of it glistening, deep in an undersea cave.
To go through that cave is a wondrous, nerve-wracking, and a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
let's go spelunking for it.
will your wedding be like this?
Will your wedding photos be like this?
Like uncorking a bottle of magic,
and traveling back in time…
