Today, we're journeying into the vibrant and passionate realm of Rebecca Searle. She's not just any photographer; she's a storyteller, weaving tales of love, joy, and heartfelt moments with every snap of her camera. Join us as we uncover the magic that makes Rebecca a top 10 photographer in the UK.
“I believe in the good in people,” Rebecca states, “and I love watching the world behind my lens.” And what a world it is! Between the highs and lows of motherhood (did we mention she's the content mom of two adorable kids?), Rebecca finds solace in the simplest things. “For me, getting out for a dog walk always cures every bad mood,” she confesses. And trust us, there's nothing quite like the joy she feels when that golden hour light meets the perfect candid moment.
With a hefty 10 years under her belt, Rebecca has witnessed the world of photography evolve. “Editorial-inspired, heartfelt wedding documentary,” she describes when asked about her style. Trusty Sony camera in one hand and Sigma Art lenses in the other, she’s geared up for any challenge. "Perhaps not the sexiest of kits," she laughs, "but it’s a system that works so well for me."
It's no secret that Rebecca is all about the experience. There's a unique bond she shares with her clients, evident from the testimonials. “I love coming away from the wedding day knowing I have given it my all,” she reflects. And if you ever doubted the power of a photo, Rebecca has something to say about that. “I love it when people love the photos before they have even seen them, because of the experience we have shared,” she beams with pride.
Her approach with her clients is intimate and collaborative. “I believe this is unusual, but I like to see clients' vision board or images that they love before their wedding or event,” she shares. Why? Because for Rebecca, “Weddings and photo shoots are collaborative and I want to capture their vision to the very best of my ability.”
While many photographers chase the allure of destination weddings, Rebecca's heart lies closer to home. "The UK is a beautiful place to get married," she says, a touch wistfully. Choosing to focus on family and the scenic charm of the UK, she adds, “I have decided to no longer take on destination weddings...I would prefer to do less travel so that I can spend as much time as possible with my young children in the next few years.”
