Rebecca Carpenter

Rebecca Carpenter is an educator and photographer who offers advice on wedding photography, elopements, travel, and business. As a destination wedding and elopement photographer, she draws inspiration from high fashion editorials, films, fashion magazines, and music videos in her composition and editing. Rebecca initially started her photography career as a fashion photographer, which is evident in the fashion magazine-like quality of some of her shots. Generally, her style is light, airy, and romantic, but she also includes a few epic showstoppers in her work. She strongly believes that a photographer should be an experience rather than just a passive observer. To get the best out of her couples, Rebecca connects with them, puts them at ease, helps them feel comfortable and intimate, makes them laugh, have fun, and let their guard down. Taking the actual shot is only a small part of her job as a photographer; the true art lies in revealing their vulnerabilities, beautiful humanity, and capturing the moment before it fades. In addition to her photography work, Rebecca is a wife to a handsome husband and mother to a sassy baby girl.
