Rebecca Haley Photography

Rebecca is truly the best of the best! We are so grateful we chose Rebecca and her team to capture our wedding day (and our engagement photos!). The photos are incredible and Rebecca brought so much energy and positivity to our day. She helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera and hyped us up all day long. I would hire her again in a second and have been telling all my friends to hire her for their weddings. Becca is the best!!

TLDR: I've known Rebecca for a while and have adored her photography from afar for YEARS. My husband and I were lucky enough to snag her as our wedding photographer in September of 2022 and I can not brag about her enough. Not only is she a gem of a human, she is a true artist. I am a firm believer that a good photographer should be on the top of all bride-to-be's priority lists. Photos are one of the only things you get to keep after your wedding, invest in them. Invest in Rebecca. I have known Rebecca for many years now. I met her while working my very first job at a Chicago pizzeria while we were both attending high school. We stayed in touch over social media as our lives took us separate ways. I vividly remember when she started her photography business I would see her post photos she'd taken and I loved her style and creativity. I admired her from afar for YEARS and always thought her clients were so dang lucky to have such an amazing photographer. I hoped that, when my time came, I could find a photographer half as good as Rebecca and I would be happy. Fast forward to April of 2022: I knew a ring was coming my way in the near future and I began prioritizing how to go about planning. The first thing that came to mind was "Photographer.... How do I get Rebecca to be my wedding photographer?!" Long story short, we booked Rebecca for an intimate elopement wedding in Colorado. Rebecca has gone above and beyond what we expected from a photographer. Her and I were in constant communication from the time we booked her up until the big day; we talked logistics (as our wedding was not your typical ceremony at a venue), she made helpful suggestions and she even brought me an extra bouquet because she wasn't sure if I had my own. When she arrived on our wedding day it was like the arrival of a friend, not a photographer; our parents and siblings that attended could not stop raving about her. And, of course, when you see the photos she took of our day you know she is a true artist. It only took Rebecca a couple hours to start sending us sneak peak photos which is HUGE for a bride. We swooned over the photos, one after another. I still scroll through our album frequently (and will for years to come) and smile at how well she captured our day. This is a long review but I want to make this clear - Rebecca is worth it. You aren't just investing in photos (which is the most important wedding investment in my opinion), you are investing in a gem of a human that will go above and beyond your expectations. We are beyond thankful for you, Rebecca.

I started following Rebecca on IG before I even started dating my now husband - I just knew I needed to hire her for my wedding and what.. now 7 years later, I AM SO GLAD I DID! Rebecca did our engagement and wedding photos and we could not be more obsessed! She captured our day PERFECTLY. Not only is Rebecca one of the sweetest, nicest, funniest, most genuine person I have ever met, but she's extremely talented at what she does and made us feel so comfortable. Her attention to detail in every shot she takes, being able to pivot and get creative (when it decides to rain on and off majority of the day), and her ability to encourage me (and others) to just trust the process was exceptional. I was dead set on doing majority of our photos outside at our venue, but due to the rain Rebecca recommended we stay at the hotel and do some photos under a covered spot she scouted out. TRUST YOUR VENDORS PEOPLE!! Her assistant photographer, Courtney was equally amazing and we couldn't have been more grateful they were both part of our wedding day. If you're looking for an absolutely amazing photographer who makes an effort to get to know (and be friends with) her couples, look no further!

Where do I even start? Rebecca’s personality, talent and instinctive nature made for the perfect wedding photographer! She is so passionate about what she does, and it’s obvious she loves capturing the small moments that make each couple unique. She made the day fun and was so attentive to all of our detail & family shots we asked for. One of the most important shots we wanted was golden hour photos, and they came out absolutely stunning. She’s truly the master of light! She came highly recommended from our wedding planner, and she couldn’t have been more right!

Our small and intimate city wedding was made complete by having Rebecca there to capture it! She was truly like a part of our family all while documenting the big moments and small details. Rebecca will make you feel like the center of the world and calm your nerves at the same time. We felt taken care of every moment of our day and in the end received beautiful photos that will be cherished for generations. Can't recommend Rebecca Haley Photography enough!

The moment I met Rebecca I knew she was exactly who I wanted to photograph my wedding. She is not only one of the most talented people I have ever met, but she is also extremely wonderful to be around. She makes being photographed fun and easy and completely takes the pressure off. We were so happy with our final photos and cannot wait until we have another opportunity to work with her. I would recommend her to anyone and everyone who is in need of a photographer, she's the absolute best!

Hiring Rebecca for our engagement pictures and wedding was one of the best decisions we made when planning. Not only is she an incredibly talented photographer but she is a great person who you want with you on your wedding day - constantly helping fix your hair, your veil, holding your personal belongings and helping in every way she can. Both of our parents immediately told us they were impressed with Rebecca after taking family pictures. She’s not afraid to take charge and tell people what they need to do to get the perfect picture. We cried when we got the sneak peak of our wedding pictures, not to mention she sent them to us not even 24 hours after our wedding. We could not be happier we hired Rebecca and will cherish our wedding pictures forever.

When my wife was looking at wedding photographers I thought they were all pretty similar. Then I started to look at the content by Rebecca and there is a HUGE difference in quality. She puts so much work into making the pictures incredibly perfect. I'm not a huge fan of photos, but after doing our engagement photos I instantly felt a connection with Rebecca. She made the whole process fun and easy, and I didn't feel like I had to force smiles because I was actually having a good time! By the time we got to the wedding it already felt like we were good friends. Looking back at the wedding photos I am so glad we hired her! Definitely worth the investment. We will cherish these photos for a lifetime .

Rebecca Haley Photography is everything you’ll ever need for your special day! 💕We are honestly blown away by all of the pictures we received so far! We got married 2 weeks ago and we got our preview pictures the Monday after and we were speechless with how they turned out! We worked with Rebecca’s associates Courtney and Marissa and they were AMAZING! They made the biggest difference in our day! They were our chaos coordinators, our hype team and everything in between! Honestly could not have imagined our day without them 💕 I can go on and on with how happy we are with choosing Rebecca Haley photography for our wedding day!! So grateful and amazed by the work all these ladies put in to create pure MAGIC! ✨💕✨

I did a boudoir shoot with Rebecca leading up to my wedding (the shoot was Sunday the week leading up to my wedding). I thought it would be a fun wedding gift for my husband - he absolutely loved it! But what stuck out to me most was my own midset shift. The photoshoot with Rebecca made me feel so strong, sexy, beautiful, carefree, and confident! It was the BEST way to head into our wedding weekend. I carried that same feeling with me into our wedding day and was much more comfortable with all the wedding pics, etc. It truly made our wedding day so much more enjoyable and in the moment! Rebecca has a way of helping you feel so calm and relaxed in front of her camera - it is a gift! Rebecca went above and beyond as well to help me order rushed prints to put in a vintage cigar box to give as a gift to my husband the night before our wedding. She was a rockstar in helping to make this happen during such a tight turnaround! We can wait to work with Rebecca again for future shoots - we will jump at the opportunity!

Rebecca Haley Photography saved us when we were left without a wedding photographer 2 months before our wedding! If you see Rebecca's work and love it, you need to hire her immediately because we went through two extensive rounds of photography vetting and there is nothing like her editing/natural light photography style! We worked with Marina who lead shot and Laur as our second shooter. Both are the best there is and the level of talent for our wedding photography was unmatched! Marina and Laur were both calm and caring throughout the day, even through the chaos of family photos, timelines getting derailed, and everything in between. They even captured photos of our dog sleeping in the audience during our wedding ceremony as well as our flower girl having a meltdown down the aisle which we are moments we are so grateful to look back on! Marina even stayed late to make sure she still captured dancing/party photos because a lunar eclipse and ice cream truck stole the show for a bit haha. We will forever be grateful to this team, and will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives.

I did a boudoir shoot with Becca leading up to my wedding to give to my husband as a wedding gift. Becca is so incredibly talented and has the ability to put any nerves or pressure at ease. She made me feel so comfortable and empowered during my session. The time flew by, because she makes the process fun and efficient. I cannot recommend Becca enough for wedding or boudoir photos. The best!

I’ve wanted Rebecca as my wedding photographer since before I had even met my husband. I’d known of her work for years and then experienced her magic firsthand while a bridesmaid in a friend’s wedding. And let me tell you, her magic is the best gift you can give yourself on your wedding day! Aside from loving the natural light style of her photography, I think her true talent shines through her ability to bring out the best in her subjects. With Rebecca and her team you will not only feel comfortable, but like you’re the most beautiful bride to walk the earth. Trust me when I say she is the best hype woman you can have next to you on your big day! She provides the perfect amount of direction so you look good and her management of the chaos of rallying people for photos is second to none. Aside from specific family photos, I didn’t have a set list of shots I wanted and trusted Rebecca to pick the right settings, poses, etc. Truly I think this is one of the best decisions I made for the day because it let her creativity work outside of a box and the preview shots she shared are already beyond what I could have imagined. I could not picture my day without Rebecca and her second shooter, Kelsey. These are memories we will cherish forever. Thank you times a million!!

Using Rebecca as our wedding photographer was one of our best decisions. From our first phone call, I felt like we had a great connection. She’s fun, enthusiastic, professional, relaxed, and gives wonderful, solicited advice throughout the whole wedding process, which was much appreciated. It was important for me to surround myself with good people on my wedding day and I’m so grateful to have had Rebecca and her assistant photographer, Kelsey, by my side! Aside from the wonderful photo quality and the fun we had with the shoots, Rebecca helped so much on my wedding day. She held my clutch during the ceremony, held onto my lipstick, gave me little pep talks, and even bustled my wedding dress…and she does it all with a huge smile on her face! It’s an understatement to say we love our pictures, they turned out so natural and beautiful. I felt like she did an amazing job of capturing special moments, including pictures of our guests throughout the day. Some of our favorite pictures are of our guests having an incredible time on the dance floor! I couldn’t be happier with Rebecca, her service, and her photos. Thank you Rebecca for being an amazing photographer and being a wonderful person and a dear friend to us!

Some people have an incredible work ethic, some people have a tremendous passion for what they do, and some people are just so naturally talented it almost makes you jealous! It's exceedingly rare when the stars align on all three, but you know it when you see it; the stars are aligned on Becca! Becca would be an absolute pleasure to work with if she was just a middle-of-the-pack photographer, but let us assure you, she is anything but that! While we began the usual process of vetting vendors for our wedding, we had the very good fortune of having Becca's name shared with us by friends of ours, and the "vetting" stopped there! After the first minute of our intro call with her, we would never again think of her as a vendor! The joy of wedding planning through a global pandemic meant we had three different wedding dates, and Becca's availability was a non-negotiable variable for us as we considered the pros and cons of new dates. There was a zero percent chance we were going to let anyone else capture our wedding! Speaking of the pandemic, her world got turned on its head more than we can possibly imagine, but her flexibility, understanding, patience, support and compassion cemented her status as our friend. Our best advice to you, aside from reach out to her immediately, is to let her guide your day when it comes to photos; she has an incredible eye for meshing the people with the place - you won't regret following her lead! Simply put, we can't recommend Becca highly enough. You'll enjoy working with her every step of the way, you'll gain a new friend, and the finished product will take your breath away! She deserves every accolade she receives!

Stop your search and hire Becca! She exceeded every possible “expectation” you could have in a wedding photographer and honestly even the groomsmen in our wedding party were raving about her and her team. Not only is she talented but she has a love for love and her couples that makes you feel like the most important people in the world. I’m sitting here tearing up thinking about how amazing she is. She was basically a photographer, hype girl, wedding guru in one. Her sneak peek after the wedding was EVERYTHING and we cannot wait to see the rest!!!!! We love you Becca!!!!!!

Stop your search for a photographer right here! Becca is hands down the absolute best!!! Becca made our entire engagement and wedding planning process so much fun! She was always an ear for us when we had questions, made us feel comfortable with pictures and most importantly natural! We did our engagement pictures with her too and we still talk about how much fun we had that day! Not only do we love Becca (so much!) all of our wedding party and guests did too!!! Not only did we gain an amazing wedding photographer, but found a life long friend in the process. Thank you for everything Becca! We love ya

Rebecca is THE ONE! Rebecca was the first vendor we choice for our wedding and the easiest decision we made. Words cannot begin to describe Rebecca's attention to detail, calm demeanor, kindness, and overall talent. Not only did Rebecca make us feel comfortable during our engagement photo shoot and our wedding, but left an impact on all our guests. Months after the wedding, people are still commenting on how great Rebecca was and how impressed they were watching her do her thing. The wedding photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and will always hold a special place in our hearts. We cannot thank Rebecca enough and we know we will be using her for all our future life milestones!

Look no further for your photographer - Rebecca is a must have for your wedding day. Not only were her photos absolutely GORGEOUS, but she really brought the best energy to the entire day. She was so much fun to ride around with on our wedding day and made me feel no pressure or stress whatsoever. Let’s not forget to mention that she works incredibly hard and is prepared for literally anything - my dress ripped right before we were to be introduced and Rebecca was ready with a safety pin as if she planned for it. She sent us a sneak peak at some photos before we even got back to the hotel that night! She answered all of our emails right away and really made us feel like we were special to her even though she does dozens of weddings every year. Truly a gem, 50/10 would recommend

I really can’t say enough wonderful things about Rebecca. She is not only our photographer, but truly an amazing friend. Rebecca made my husband (still so fun to say) and I feel SO incredibly comfortable on our wedding day (and engagement pictures). I trusted her with every single shot knowing that it would be perfect. She captured our love through the lens of her camera with such grace. She was SO fun to have around and had the best ideas for pictures. We got a look at our sneak peak, and I’ve never felt so beautiful. From the detail shots, to making sure that my hair was curled perfectly (even if it included cutting a piece of it off!! She really does it all!!!) every single thing was perfect. Rebecca was fast and very timely. She knew how important my timeline was to me and she held everyone accountable to those times. She adjusted from an outdoor ceremony to an indoor ceremony, pictures inside to pictures outside, and even braved the cold temperatures with no complaints. Her second shooter was equally amazing, making the morning getting ready with the boys so fun and comfortable. I could not be happier with my decision to book Rebecca as our wedding photographer and I would recommend her to absolutely anyone!!!!

I don't think there are enough words to describe how amazing, sweet, caring and talented Rebecca Haley is. Our wedding was originally supposed to be in Chicago and due to Covid we moved our plans to Florida 3 short months before our wedding date. I reached out to Rebecca and asked her if she would go to Florida and with no hesitation she said Absolutely Yes. Rebecca arrived before the wedding and had scoped out all the best places in the resort and the lighting for photos. I didn't have to worry one bit about finding the places in a place that was foreign to me. On my wedding day she captured every single moment that I had dreamt of and made the photos an enjoyable experience (that quote was from my husband who dreads taking any photos btw). She made you feel comfortable and told you exactly how to pose. Before meeting Rebecca officially in person we had a phone conversation that lasted 40 minutes and we just talked like we had known each other for years. She genuinely cares about you as a client as she would for a friend. I will be hiring Rebecca for all future moments that are to come in my life that we want captured in the best way and we know that will happen because of Rebecca. Overall, her work is truly something that I have never seen before and stands apart from other photographers. Hiring her will be the best decision you ever made.

Look no further - hire Rebecca Haley Photography!!! When you hire Rebecca you hire a photographer (an amazing one at that) but you walk away with a friend!! I cannot say enough good things about not only the photos she did for us (engagement, boudoir and wedding) but also the experience throughout that she provided us with! Her personality is infectious leading to the most joyous and pure photos! When we look at each photo she captured we can FEEL the emotions we had while they were being taken and she truly makes each photo worth more than 1,000 words! Hiring Becca is what made our wedding complete! She had quite the challenge with us - a bride who loves to be photographed and a groom who... well doesn’t at all and she made him so comfortable during each shoot that he actually ENJOYED being around her and taking the photos - it was miraculous. Now let’s talk about how 1) every person to view my photos is ASTONISHED at the quality of them and 2) my friends and family are STILL talking about how much they loved her. The groomsmen thought she was the coolest girl they’ve ever met, my bridesmaids want to go out with her, and my mother would invite her over for the holidays right now if she could. If you take away anything from this review it should be this: as a fellow wedding industry worker, Becca provided the BEST service I’ve ever seen at a wedding and delivered beyond imaginable photos , she also was so professional, timely, organized and overall the biggest asset to our wedding - we COULD NOT and WOULD NOT have wanted to do our wedding without her there!

Rebecca is an absolutely amazing photographer who establishes a relationship with her clients that goes well beyond the wedding day. Not only is she kind, caring, and funny, she is very professional and knowledgeable about all that goes into having a wedding day go smoothly. She made us feel super comfortable and has a special way of calming nerves and putting you in ease in front of the camera! She really felt more like a friend than a vendor. I would absolutely recommend her to everyone, you would be lucky to have her!!!

I don't even know where to start or end because I could go on and on about how amazing Rebecca is! The best way to put it is to simply state, you NEED to book Rebecca. Hands down, it will be one of the best decision of your entire wedding!! After seeing her photograph one of my friend's engagement sessions I knew I needed to book her, and she was even better than I could have imagined! First of all, she is the absolute sweetest person with the best heart and truly takes the time to know her clients. I cannot stress how important this is since you go from barely knowing your photographer to them shooting some of the most special moments of your life. Like a lot of 2020 brides, I had postponed my original wedding date 2 times and finally decided to have a small ceremony last minute. Rebecca supported us and blocked off every date change to make sure she was available for us. Talk about going above and beyond!! Last weekend, Rebecca ended up photographing our small, socially distant ceremony and the party afterwards. All of the portraits have my entire family smiling and their eyes open (this is no easy feat)! What's more impressive, is Rebecca's ability to capture so much emotion in still frames. I am not one to always love photographs of myself, and yet I cannot be more in love with her pictures of us from that day. Her photos are breathtakingly stunning. It's incredible how talented she is and how she seemed to always be at the right place at the right time without me noticing. The day of shooting I so appreciated how efficient and almost ninja like Rebecca was while working. When we were taking pictures nothing felt forced or contrived and the portraits when so quickly! Both my husband and myself are in awe of her work and cannot wait to get everything back. What might be even more exciting is knowing that Rebecca is shooting our big party next year, so there is even more to come! Her work absolutely speaks for itself, and we could not be more pleased or thrilled that she captured our day perfectly! I know when planning a wedding there a so many options out there, but Rebecca will be your best and easiest decision ever. <3 <3 <3 <3

Rebecca is the BEYONCE of wedding photography. That is the only way I can describe her, she is the Queen! It's taken me over a year to even find the words for this review , I mean really how do I even begin to express the gratitude my husband and I have for someone who gave us photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives! Rebecca and Marina are an incredible duo. While getting ready the girls were jamming to all the best throwbacks a bride would want to hear on her wedding day backstreet boys, brittney, Nsync, you name it! Rebecca not only made sure the lighting was great she made sure I had a drink in my hand, air conditioning, appetizers literally before I could even think of what it she was right there reading my mind and snapping candid photos! What started as a little drizzle turned into a full on downpour right as we stepped outside to take our beautifully thought out first look photos, Rebecca was so calm and reassuring the entire time. From one crazy OCD bride to another the best wedding photographer you can hire is one that makes you feel like you've been friends for years and can somehow make the rain seem like a blessing. Honestly look back at all our photos there isn't a single one that I don't love. I really don't know how Rebecca does it the editing is flawless each photo is like a treasure the attention to detail is incredible. All our family still raves about Rebecca and the iconic photos she took on our wedding day (we have one that has been nicknamed the real Royal wedding, its the first photo our parents show anyone who has 5 seconds to spare). We decided not to hire a videographer so photography was extremely important to us. The only thing I would change was have Rebecca at our wedding till the very end, if you thinking about 8 hour package just do yourself a favor and extend I wish we would have. Looking at the photos is like being transported back to our wedding day, which is the greatest gift any photographer can give a couple. The day goes by so fast and in the blink of an eye its over, luckily for us our wedding photos will last a lifetime! Thank you Rebecca for being you, aka every brides dream photographer. Can't wait to work together again in the future for family shoots :)

Where do I even begin!? Rebecca is truly the light of this world. She is everything good about humanity in one package. I booked Rebecca before I was even engaged. She is that good of a photographer, and I knew I needed to have her for my wedding day. Rebecca's photos exude true love. You look at them, and you cannot help but smile. Working with her was even better. Rebecca made me and my (now) husband feel so comfortable during our engagement session. We had so much fun with her. She made us feel special, loved, and valued. Rebecca got us our photos in weeks, and they did not disappoint! They are hanging all over our house now. A few months ago, my husband and I made the tough decision to cancel our wedding. Rebecca was there for us every step of the way. Even offering to drive 15 hours to be there for us. She cried with me, laughed with me, and guided me. Even though she didn't get to photograph our actual wedding day, we would have given anything to have her there. Rebecca has become part of our family and our story forever. We are so grateful to her and her BIG heart. Thank you, Rebecca! You are more than just a photographer- you are a truly extraordinary person.

Rebecca is literally an angel on earth. Not only is her work AMAZING, she is the sweetest most thoughtful person to work with. I was blown away by how comfortable she made us during our engagement shoot and how beautiful they turned out. Every single picture I’ve seen of hers is simply gorgeous. We unfortunately had to postpone our wedding to next year due to Covid-19 and Rebecca has been there for us every step of the way being as supportive as she can with her caring personality. Not to mention she didn’t charge us a rebooking fee and kept our same quote for next year which I am so thankful for. I can write about her for hours but just know that her work speaks for itself and you are making the best decision hiring her!!

Where do I even begin? We booked Rebecca Haley Photography for our wedding after she shot my sister's wedding and my whole family fell in love with her! We could not have been more pleased with Becca...During the planning process, she was full of awesome, creative ideas and was very helpful in helping us plan a lot of the little details (including sending us recommendations for other vendors!) She has so much experience in the Chicagoland (and Denver!) area and has a lot of awesome insight in the planning process. The day of the wedding, I was so grateful to have Becca there. She immediately feels like one of the bridesmaids (minus the stress) and kept everyone calm throughout the morning and day! She provided body tape for my mother-in-law's dress from her emergency kit, and made us all feel so empowered with her positive affirmations!! During the portraits, Becca didn't wear a jacket because she wanted to be able to gauge how long I could be outside before getting cold -- I mean come on! Who does that?? She has such a fun and uplifting style, but is able to graciously get everyone's attention for maximum efficiency during family photos. She did not make us feel rushed at all and made sure we got all of the photos we wanted (including our sunset pictures!) Don't get me started on the photos themselves... Rebecca has such a brilliant and creative eye. She balances her art with both brightness and full, beautiful colors. She focuses on the people and is able to capture the love and joy in every photo. I recommend Rebecca Haley to ANYONE planning their wedding in the Chicago or Denver area -- it is one of the best decisions you could make for your wedding day!

Choosing Rebecca Haley for our wedding is the ABSOLUTE BEST decision I could have ever made for our big day. As we didn’t expect a pandemic such as the COVID-19 to hijack our wedding date... we regretfully had to postpone our wedding. However, through all the stress and chaos of choosing a new date (which for any bride you would think this would be a complete nightmare) It was a breeze with Rebeccas help, guidance, patience, support, and professionalism! Without her there would have been ALOT more tears and anxiety! (Which bc of her help, hardly happened at all)! (I know right?) she’s amazing!! I cannot tell you enough great things about her character, her personality, her professionalism, her heart and her kindness. She was the first to email me, provide support, and helped me every step of the way in reconstructing a wedding that we both thought we would be celebrating in six short weeks. Although she has yet to photograph our big day, I already know I’ve picked the BEST person to be by our side through this crazy adventure! I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that she will do a fantastic job in capturing our new wedding date. I not only made an incredible decision to have her be part of our wedding, but by choosing her I have also gained a forever friend. Thank you Rebecca!! We love you!!

We knew our photos were going to be amazing after we hired Rebecca as our photographer but I don’t think we were ready for what we received! Starting with our engagement shoot and then our wedding pictures, we cannot get over just how stunning the photos are. As the bride, you spend a lot of your time with the photographer and I couldn’t have asked for a better person to hang with! Not only did she remain chill and go with the flow while sticking to a strict timeline, she was able to constantly wrangle our large wedding party, provided electrolytes to some of the parents who weren’t feeling so good, and calling us some last minute Ubers. Basically just going above and way beyond every step of the way! Leading up to the wedding Rebecca asked where we wanted to take our photos and went and scoped out the locations. The spots she ultimately chose within those locations were places I would have totally missed but I’m so happy I put all my trust in her. The lighting, background, everything turned out perfectly because of her eye! Like everyone tells you, the wedding day is a whirlwind. We loved going through all the photos from the ceremony and the cocktail hour to see our guests having such a fun time which is something we might have missed. I truly feel like every guest received an amazing portrait of themselves because of her efficiency and talent. We really can’t recommend Rebecca enough! Just flipping through her portfolio you can see the amazing work she produces- just here to say that working with her makes it even better!

I used Rebecca for my boudoir shoot after my friend recommended her and I could not be more thankful she did! I was of course a little nervous for the shoot because it was out of my comfort zone, but from my first email exchange with Rebecca she made me feel comfortable and so excited! The day of the shoot was a breeze, having hair and makeup on site made it so easy and it was just good vibes all around. She made me feel so confident and it was such a great experience. The pictures turned out beautifully and I received them so quickly. Working with Rebecca was THE best and I think every bride should do a boudoir shoot with her!

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! <3

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!

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!!

BEST decision we made for our wedding!!!! Rebecca you truly know how to make the wedding day so special. Within the first 5 min of meeting Rebecca, we knew she would be the photographer that would be able to check off all that boxes on our wish list, and MORE. She was not only personable but so talented and experienced. She knows how to photograph every special moment and to manage everyone with poise. She is not just a photographer but she is now someone I call a friend. If you chose Rebecca Haley Photography you will not be disappointed!

When hiring a photographer you need to remember that you are going to spend a large portion of your wedding day with this person. So as much as you want thier photography work to be great you also want to really like spending time with them. Rebecca helped make my daughters day so enjoyable, from getting ready with her bridesmaids to their “first look” and then driving around Chicago getting the most amazing pictures that turned out better then we could ever have imagined. We could not have made a better choice then hiring Rebecca Haley!!

Becca was AMAZING! I found her on instagram and instantly loved her work, but after meeting her in person I knew I wanted her to do our wedding! She did our July 2019 wedding and was better than we could have imagined! She is not only incredibly kind and pleasant to be around, she was incredible with EVERYONE. She made our 1.5 year old niece laugh in pictures, she made my husband's 93 year old Grandma feel so comfortable and relaxed, and made our whole bridal party have a great time despite the blazing heat. She was one of the absolute best decisions we made for our wedding, and we could not be happier we chose to work with Becca and Marina! I have been telling all my engaged friends to book her ASAP because she is just the best!!!!

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!

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!

We are so glad we chose Rebecca for our September 1st wedding! knew I wanted a photographer with a light, airy style and Rebecca's natural light photography was the perfect fit! Neither my husband and I are particularly comfortable in front of the camera, but Rebecca (and Marina!) had us laughing the entire time! She captured so much happiness and love in our wedding photos and we could not be more pleased with how the photos turned out.

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 phenomonal 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!

Rebecca was a highlight of our wedding. It was as if she was a friend we'd known for years, who was photographing our special day. Rebecca has a gift where she can command a room to get photos done quickly and efficiently - but is friendly, fun, and energetic. She has an eye for the light, capturing perfect shots. We are so happy with our photos (both from the engagement session and the wedding) and hope to work with Rebecca again someday!

I originally hired Rebecca to do our engagement photos because my fiancé and I had already purchased a wedding package (one without an engagement shoot) from someone else. Immediately after meeting with her I fell in love with her fun loving spirit! Her personality makes you feel as though you've known her for years, which made us both feel so comfortable with her. We felt like she was just one of our friends taking our photos, and we loved her so much we got out of our contract with out other photographer and hired her for our wedding! I am SO excited to have her capture our love on our wedding day - and I will most likely post another review then. ** UPDATE - 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!!

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!

Rebecca took our engagement photos and our wedding photos. She was an absolutely thrill to work with. We felt comfortable, enjoyed her enthusiam and were blown away by the finished product. On the day of our wedding she kept us to our timeline and took every shot we asked for! Her lighting is one of our favorite details from her shots. She was very fun and hands down one of our best vendors throughout the whole process. We will gladly use her in the future for different shoots. Thanks Rebecca!

Becca is an astonishingly talented photographer, but is an even better human. She has the capability to make her clients feel at ease and beautiful. She has surpassed our expectations as far as wedding photography and engagement photo shoots go-- she is effortlessly kind, professional, and most of all-- talented. We plan to work with her for years to come and would recommend her to absolutely anyone who is looking for a photographer/friend.
