more about me

Mama to baby girl Winnie and Wifey to Jonathan. Lover of noodles, chocolate fudge cake, and dancing with a camera in my hand. My mission is to take beautiful and magical photos of humans in love and give them an unforgettable experience in the process. I'm obsessed with beautiful light, carbs, coke zero, Winnie the Pooh merchandise, and overpriced scented candles.

I'm Rebecca, an intimate and elopement destination wedding photographer shooting love stories all around the world.

oh hey!

I started ‘Rebecca’s Movie Moments’ a few weeks ago, aiming to recreate scenes from some of my favourite movies.

Dirty Dancing was the first and I have a few more on the list, which are coming soon. But for some reason I just couldn’t shake the idea of recreating the famous scene from American Beauty in which Lester dreams of Angela. One of the most iconic movie scenes in years and one that I just find stunning. It’s a truly magical scene and I impulsively decided…you know what? Let’s just do it! You’ve got to make things happen and with me once I have an idea, a thought or desire in my head, I’ll do it!

I got in touch with Maegan and Carrie from Toto Caelo, told them what I had in mind and without a moments hesitation they said yes. They didn’t once ask how we were going to do this, the logistics…nothing! It was incredible, they trusted me so much. I ordered 3000 petals off eBay and visited the flower wholesalers on the morning and we made it happen.

It was a 3 woman show. I was up a ladder, Carrie did a fantastic job on hair, makeup and petal duty (making sure they behaved!) and Carrie’s mother Delphine on ladder duty, making sure I didn’t fall off and land in the petals.

Even now, a few days later I am finding random rose petals in the strangest places in my house
