For those couples who don't want to pose!
How do you feel about photography? Do you want to enjoy your day without being asked to stop and smile for the camera?
Are photos of your family and friends just as important to you as images of yourselves?
Do you want to enjoy your reception (and those expensive canapes!) without being carted off for a two-hour photoshoot?
If you’ve answered ‘yes’ to all those questions, then I could be the photographer for you! With my professional up to date equiptment and my relaxed personality, I will capture your day using a reportage style – never asking you to repeat things, or moving or directing you, but instead capturing everything as it happens (creatively and artistically, of course).
RHI & JACK" Rebecca is one of a kind! We cannot recommend anyone but Bec! We have just received our photos from our wedding and have fallen in love and cried all over again reminiscing on our day. Bec was able to capture the whole day/nights emotions and memories. All the photos are individual moments and captured exactly as if you were there laughing with us.
We are so grateful for Bec coming on board with us, with a ridiculously large amount of photos we are able to relive our day again and again. Bec you are a star and you honestly made us feel so comfortable being photographed over and over and again. We thank you so much for these beautiful memories, I just cannot express it.
KIRI & AARON "Cannot recommend Rebecca enough. Communication was perfect and she captured our wedding day in the most beautiful way! My partner and I do not like to have our photos taken usually, but I cannot stop looking at our wedding ones. Rebecca takes natural shots, and flawlessly captured all of our special moments. I wasn't a bride with a clear vision of what I wanted, but each photo makes me go 'Oh wow!' We had some delays and things didn't go as planned (especially with the weather), but it didn't phase Bec and she still captured our day in a way I didn't think possible."
TRISHA & MARK "Rebecca was our photographer for our wedding in Cairns. She was very professional and made all of us in the bridal party feel very comfortable. Rebecca also completed our photos quickly in about 6 weeks so we were very happy it didn't long. Thanks again Rebecca"
HI I'M REBECCA
As a wedding photographer, I see myself as a storyteller with a camera, capturing the intricate details and emotions that define a couple's special day. My approach is deeply rooted in a blend of artistry and technical proficiency, ensuring each photograph not only preserves memories but also evokes the essence of love, joy, and celebration.
I pride myself on my ability to connect with couples, understanding their unique vision and personalities. This connection allows me to create images that are not just beautiful but also deeply meaningful. I believe in capturing both the big moments and the small, spontaneous gestures that make each wedding unique.
Preparation is key to my process. From scouting locations to understanding the flow of the day, I ensure that every aspect is meticulously planned to deliver a seamless photography experience. On the day itself, I blend into the background when needed, capturing candid moments and genuine emotions, while also providing gentle guidance for more structured shots.
Technical proficiency is the foundation of my work. I continuously hone my skills and stay updated with the latest equipment and techniques to deliver high-quality images that stand the test of time. Whether it's mastering light in challenging conditions or using editing techniques to enhance the storytelling, I strive for excellence in every aspect of my craft.
Above all, I approach each wedding with professionalism, enthusiasm, and a genuine passion for what I do. I understand the responsibility entrusted to me in capturing one of the most important days in a couple's life, and I take pride in delivering a collection of photographs that exceed expectations and become cherished memories for years to come.
My hobby is travelling and exploring the great outdoors!
REBECCA WADE PHOTOGRAPHY
The first thing you should know is that I’m incredibly focused and driven to create images for my couples, although I may appear calm and relaxed on the surface, there is no off-switch whilst I’m at a wedding. I don’t stop watching, observing, moving or documenting, and I always just go with the flow of the day, there’s very little in the way of a plan or shot-list
