Becca worked with us on our outdoor elopement ceremony in August 2020 when the world had just been turned upside down. She had shot my sister’s wedding and I knew I needed her tender and raw photography style for our elopement! I absolutely cherish our collection of photos from that day as they captured the many moments we experienced in a beautiful way. Becca was amazing to work with, she made us feel very comfortable and respected our ideas all while providing gentle direction. I would highly recommend Becca for an elopement, wedding or any type of life event!
Becca has a unique talent of photographing her subjects' in a way that captures their spirit, joy, and vibrancy. I have used Becca as a photographer for the last 10 years; first for portraits of just me, then engagement photos of me and my then-fiance, and now every year she comes to photograph my growing family. As our lives change, the photos reflect perfectly what our lives look like in each stage. A photo session with her is the most treasured gift I give myself every year. Her demeanor behind the camera is calm, comforting, and reassuring. I can't believe how incredibly she captures smiles, light, and interactions. She really brings her whole heart to every session we have ever had; I can't imagine documenting my life with anyone else! We are so grateful she shares her gifts with us.
We were in desperate need of headshots and studio photos to use on our website redesign. What first stood out was Becca's aesthetic alignment with our brand. Day of the shoot, she made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. So much so, we continually get compliments on how much these photos capture our personalities. What we thought was just a shoot for our website has become so much more - these photos are now an extension of many brand touchpoints for our company. HUGE thank you for letting our company shine.
Becca Waterloo, an incredibly creative photographer, has beautifully encapsulated our most significant milestones. Her unmatched ability to capture emotions is remarkable. From our engagement to wedding, pregnancy, and family moments, she's documented our journey. Becca's warm personality puts us at ease, going beyond photography. Her attention to detail and dedication to authenticity set her apart. With Becca, we've not only found a photographer but a lifelong friend. Grateful for her role in our journey through life's seasons.
Our parting gift to ourselves when we left Chicago was to have some photos taken of our family in the city we loved. As someone who always looks at photos of myself in a negative light and feel uncomfortable in situations where photos are being taken, Becca made me feel at ease and seen instantly. I look at the photos and feel proud of who I am, and who my family are - seeing a photo of myself and smiling is a unique experience that she has provided me. Becca made the miserable grey Chicago day come to light in the photos and engaged our two-year-old daughter so effectively - she managed to capsulate the love that we have within our family unit and how happy Chicago has made us. Friends and family comment on how natural and effortless the photos look, she managed to capture us in our best light without ever making it feel like a formal photo shoot. I love looking at the photos on our walls in our new home in the UK - her photos hold so many memories for us.
The first decision we made when planning our wedding was to hire Becca as our photographer. Working with Becca is an easy and relaxed experience that pairs perfectly for a hectic wedding day.
One of my most vivid memories of the day was having a session before everything started, just myself, my husband, and Becca finding vignettes in the alley behind our venue. If you know Chicago, you know that the alleyways are unique in their beauty, and that is what Becca brings - a unique beauty to your memories through photography.
It's now been four years since we had our wedding, but when I revisit our photos, I can recall the crisp morning air and the drops of rain that started as we were taking photos with our family. I can feel the joy and energy I felt that day from our loved ones. I see the anticipation and elation in both my husband and me for a day we had been planning and waiting for finally being realized and enjoyed. I adore our wedding photos.
Becca is a storyteller through her photography, and she creates a tale that I love to revisit often.
