“REBEKAH IS A LITERAL GODSEND. Listen to this: my spouse and I decided to elope 1.5 weeks before we did it. I decided as a last ditch attempt to shout into the void on TikTok for a photographer… while being states away from where we’d be married. Rebekah found us. There were a few little hiccups, but I told her what I wanted, I told her what I could do, & she bent over backwards to make it happen. Called friends, called friends of friends, that didn’t work so she DID IT. She made sure I had the day of my dreams. she showed up and she was our hype girl the entire evening, took absolutely stunning shots, and had our sneak peaks back to us so fast! We have so many beautiful candid photos from the best day of our lives & I am forever thankful to her. I wish we lived closer, cuz goodness do I love this girl after just one night with her!! Cannot recommend Rebekah enough, she captured my perfect day, PERFECTLY!”

Wow. The MOST important thing, for you (reader of this review): hire Rebekah immediately. Seriously, I cannot stress how important this person in this role was to us for our wedding. I had heard so many horror stories of people getting bad pictures back, and never being able to recapture those moments, that I *needed* to know I was getting someone solid. To emphasize how particular I am, and how important it was for us to have a fantastic photographer: I contacted around 20 photographers for our wedding, "interviewed" 14, requested portfolios from 8, and landed CONFIDENTLY on Rebekah. I'm going to do my best to keep this review brief so you don't have to read a novel to appreciate how amazing she is.
I truly could go on and on about Rebekah and how crucial she was to our wedding process. Yes, you heard it--THE WHOLE PROCESS. I'll have to make this review a two-parter because she is a remarkable (that itself doesn't even capture it) photographer and also just a support system throughout the wedding planning because she has so much experience in the field.
So first, her photography. I believe I once called her a magical fairy. We, thankfully, had Rebekah as our photographer for both our engagement session and wedding day. This girl, on both occasions, got us sneak peaks within an hour. She would also show us pictures on her camera, while we were shooting, that were absolutely insane without edit. This wasn't something she promised, or we expected, but she's just that good.
The photos speak for themselves. The light, the angles, the views, the capturing of our best but also genuine and candid selves and the little subtle moments you don't ever want to forget--that's what Rebekah captures in her pictures.
Second, her support. I didn't bargain for this as part of hiring Rebekah, but WOW did we get a deal in having her serve in this capacity. Beyond her photography, which honestly in itself was more than enough for the cost, Rebekah was involved and supportive throughout the process. When I say support, I mean Rebekah provided advice for our day-of wedding schedule (I did not have a wedding planner or coordinator so this was huge), mapped our our engagement shoot, gave suggestions for other vendors, asked around her contacts if I had a non-photography question, and was always asking "what can I do?" when she absolutely had not obligation to do more than what she was paid to do. As an example, my then-fiancé and I had no real idea where we wanted to have our engagement session. Rebekah asked us what vibe we were going for and from there gave us a substantial list of phenomenal locations she recommended. Having now the hindsight to review all of our vendors, who were by and large all good, Rebekah was BY FAR the most invested in making sure she was giving us what was wanted and needed. She is professional, wonderful, and talented. Hire her. You will have zero regrets.

We eloped 3/14/22 and I am SO glad we picked Rebekah to be our photographer!! When we decided to elope, picking the photographer was definitely in our top 3 priorities, and I can confidently say now that we picked the best one! From the first contact she was professional, friendly, and knowledgeable.
As an elopement photographer, she has to be both a fun accompaniment to your day as well as a businesswoman and (of course) have a stellar eye for all the best shots! Let me tell you, she was amazing in every department! Something that really stuck out to me was how professional and transparent she was through the booking & planning process. Pricing was fair, contracts were very thorough and every message got a response within a quick time frame.
When it came to the actual wedding day, Rebekah (and her assistant at the time) even showed up EARLY to our meet-up time so we could roll out perfectly on time (even though it was ungodly early in the AM - gotta catch that gorgeous sunrise!). The whole day was magical and romantic and so much fun - everything you could possibly want for your dream elopement.
My camera-shy husband(!) even had fun in front of the camera, and you can really see his personality shine through in our pictures. Fast forward a few weeks, and we have our whole album and EVERY SINGLE PICTURE is a winner! I simply cannot recommend her highly enough.

Rebekah is a special photographer. Our elopement was amazing, and the magic was only amplified by Rebekah and her husband Trevor. Rebekah sets the bar very high! She is so friendly, creative, and knowledgeable. When I think of Rebekah, I think of much more than a “Photographer”.
Rebekah helped us with deciding where we would have our ceremony and our itinerary. She had a friend of hers who is a writer who helped write our wedding ceremony. To make it even better, the writer could pull from a survey that Rebekah developed that basically learned my husband and I’s life story. Her husband Trevor even conducted the ceremony.
Most importantly, Rebekah makes you feel welcome, engaged, and truly comfortable. To put the icing on the cake, the pictures she took were INCREDIBLE! Rebekah even ships them to you on a personalized flash drive. To be quite honest, this woman is the WHOLE package + more. If any couples are reading this and wondering if they should elope…DO IT. Choose Rebekah to be a part of your special day. I am sure glad we did and could not imagine having had anyone else to photograph the best day of my life.

I'm speechless. I've been putting off this review because I'm honestly at a loss for words trying to explain how incredible de la Fontaine Photography is. As soon as I started wedding planning I knew the most important thing for me was to get beautiful photos of our special day and my expectations were exceeded and blown out the roof! I found de la Fontaine Photography online and fell in love - I knew I had to have Rebekah as my photographer so I decided to pay the extra fee to fly her out here (to Colorado).
I was a little worried about being able to communicate enough from another state, but Rebekah suggested we FaceTime and that worked out perfectly! She always took her time and genuinely cared and wanted the best for me and my husband. Rebekah eased my anxious wedding planning mind and helped me not only plan out what photos I wanted, but helped me plan non-photography related things like my day-of timeline. Since she has seen first hand how long certain wedding events take, she was able to help me adjust my timeline. Plus we were able to plan photos for the time of day with the best lighting which made for super magical dreamy photos.
I'm also very non-traditional so I was nervous to see if Rebekah would accommodate my "quirky" ideas which she did so happily and even encouraged me, that I didnt need to follow all the wedding "rules". From the moment Rebekah showed up (early which I really appreciated) I felt comfortable with her which is good because we jumped right into some boudoir photos. I thought I would feel awkward and not know how to pose, but Rebekah had so many helpful suggestions while still hearing what I wanted.
Her husband, Trevor, was her assistant for my wedding which was so fun! They made us feel so special and we actually had a lot of fun together. Rebekah is very professional, warm and genuine, and VERY talented. We got our photos back earlier than expected and we got a ton more photos than we expected!!! It was the best surprise ever. I can't even explain how much the photos mean to me. I will cherish them my whole life. Every photo has beautiful details. Even when we were stuck with harsh, bright lighting, she was able to capture beautiful photos! I am eternally grateful for de la Fontaine Photography.
If you're thinking about hiring Rebekah, know that you would be lucky to have her and that you'd be in good hands.

We love Rebekah! As a photographer, as a planner, and as a human. She made us feel so comfortable throughout planning and the day of our wedding. My wife and I didn't know much about what we wanted for our wedding in the beginning. We started out thinking we'd just go to the courthouse, but had been following From the Fountain on social media and loved what we saw.
My wife reached out, and Rebekah asked if we had thought about an outdoor elopement. From this conversation, Rebekah recommended beautiful spots, wonderful vendors, and overall showed that she cared about us and our big day. Rebekah works hard to learn about her clients and what they want, as well as their personalities.
When the day came, we had a couple of hiccups, but Rebekah helped us navigate them and reassured us every step of the way. We ended up without an officiant last minute, but it worked out because Rebekah can legally sign as an officiant so we had a family member step in to read our script. She also did my wife's hair and makeup! Rebekah wore nearly every hat she possibly could have in one day!
When it came to the actual photography, she has an amazing creative mind for different shots. She got our two families through group photos seamlessly and allowed us to just be ourselves. We weren't rushed, but she kept us moving efficiently. For our couples photos, we had a few poses and ideas, but largely didn't know what to do with ourselves. Rebekah helped guide us while allowing us to look and feel comfortable. She also presented us with some lovely creative shots that came out beautifully.
Rebekah has been a fantastic photographer and friend to us, and she is absolutely someone you will want to have with you on your big day. She exudes passion for her work, as well as her clients. We always felt the love, and we can see it through the beautiful photos we'll be able to cherish always.

Our experience with Rebekah has been nothing short of amazing and I am so grateful for her. From the first time I reached out to her I knew we would be making the right decision by choosing her as our elopement photographer. The reason is that she is SO much more than that.
She helped with planning locations, provided lots of vendor recommendations, and did a lot of work to try to find another option for vendors when one didn't work how we planned. She works so hard to try to make your elopement the best it could possibly be and I felt so relaxed yet excited about wedding planning once we made the decision to go with her. She helped make it feel easy.
We were unique in that when we reached out we were living in Michigan and planning to move to Arizona a few weeks before our elopement. Both her and her husband provided so much help through that process as well and overall it really feels like you have a friend in all of your planning.
On the day of the elopement it was only us and Rebekah and it felt so comfortable and was so much fun! We were able to be our quirky selves and truly just have the day we wanted. She provides you with sneak peaks soon after your elopement and when we got them my jaw dropped. Obviously I had seen her work so I knew how good it was, but she captured the day and emotions perfectly and I couldn't believe that we now had these photos that we could go back and relive our best day ever with. They're magical and I still can't stop looking at them. She also was able to provide the final gallery several weeks before the expected time and it was a wonderful surprise.
To anyone looking here to hire Rebekah as your photographer, just do it. You won't regret it.

The moment has passed and the memory made. However, these photos allow me to time travel. They are so raw, and the timing is perfect. For brief moments, I can go back and hold my mothers hands, and kissing my new husband for the first time. I never imagined an image could take my breath away or make my heart skip a beat. With ever click, I’m flooded with joy and gladness.
We met you two years ago, just because you happened to need models to get your business going. We went hoping for some cute photos of us that weren’t selfies, or an unfortunate candid at someone birthday party. Never did I think that was the day I’d meet my engagement photographer, wedding photographer, and wonderful friend. I absolutely adore you and Trevor both! I am so excited you have someone so amazing in your life! We owe him so much for all the behind the scenes work he did at our wedding.
Bottom line, I cannot thank you enough for your talent, friendship, and the time machine. You’re an incredible woman, and I’m forever blessed by your presence in my life.

”In case you don't want to read this long review, GO BOOK REBEKAH RIGHT NOW! Actually go ahead and book her a few times because you are going to be obsessed!!! Rebekah loves what she does and it shows in her work. Not only is her photography epic and amazing but so is her personality. She is down to do whatever you want at your elopement and if you don't know what you want then she will give you plenty of awesome ideas. My husband and I are the "I don't know what to do with my hands" type of awkward picture takers but you can't even tell in these photos. She takes her time to get to know her clients and truly wants to make your day the best day ever. We are eternally grateful for Rebekah, for her magical photography skills, for camping with us, and for partying with us! I REPEAT, GO BOOK REBEKAH RIGHT NOW!”

“I loved the work Rebekah did. My husband and I hate getting photos taken of us but she made it so easy! Rather than it being so awkward and long, the session went by so fast because she made it fun. Half of our photos are us laughing because of a joke she told and we have natural smiles in the pictures. The photos look so natural and beautiful. I’m so grateful Rebekah flew down for the wedding. Our photos are complimented all the time and it’s because Rebekah is creative and does such a wonderful job.”

“It is hard to put into words how amazing Rebekah and her talent is. The one word that comes close is magical. My husband and I wanted a fairytale like photos and she 100% delivered. When we were taking our bridals, she went earlier to scout out some areas by a lake and she said nope to the lake and took us to this beautiful creek she saw on the way to the lake. She made our dreams come true with these beautiful photos! Our wedding photos are perfect as well. She had an eye for detail and caught special moments I would not of even thought of. LIKE A FREAKING RAINBOW! I would recommend her over and over again. Not only does she take amazing photos, but she will make the experience even more special. Thank you Rebekah!”

“I really had an amazing experience with Rebekah! She really put the personal touch on the whole ordeal. She shot photos for our wedding and boy was I pleased. I'm a larger girl with self confidence issues I'm also not a fan of being the center of attention. So naturally, I was nervous.
She's amazing at helping you relax, feel like a star, and taking the photo worry out of your big day.
I know one of my biggest challenges of planning the wedding was, well, planning it! I've literally never done anything like this and it made me truly feel overwhelmed. That changed with Rebekah. When we hired her she was open to help out wherever she could. Suggestions, tips, you name it. She truly is a ray of sunshine.
The wedding photos and engagement photos really made me feel beautiful. I've never had such a smooth experience. They truly came out beautiful.
To anyone on the fence, do it. She has changed to smaller more intimate weddings and elopments, but she really has a kind heart, dedication, a great eye, and helps the day feel magical.”
