THE DISH…..

“David and I did not plan to get a wedding photographer. Being that so many of our friends are in the film industry, we assumed we’d get the shots we needed from them. But two months before our New Year’s Eve wedding, David decided to hire someone on a whim. Rebekah graciously accepted and arrived with her fabulous husband (early, might I add) to our wedding site. The moment I met her, I felt at ease; like someone was there with the intention of documenting the beauty and emotion of the day. I inately trusted her intuitions on account of nothing more than her radiating and honest smile. David and I had so much fun working with her and even got her to dance to a song or two! Shortly after the wedding, Rebekah sent us a sampling of pictures from our wedding. We sat on our couch, as husband and wife, and cried. Rebekah’s pictures were beautiful, of course, but they went beyond aesthetics. There was a spirit, emotion, moments captured that felt more real than just a picture. She somehow found who we were and the truest feelings of the day and saved them for us, forever in photographs. We could not imagine being happier. Thank you to Rebekah for perfectly capturing who were are and how beautiful our wedding day was to us!”

“I hired Rebekah Hood of Kallima Photography as my wedding photographer because I wanted someone with an artistic eye that could capture the essence of my husband and I on our special day without strict poses. What I didnt know was that I was getting so much more than that. Rebekah’s knowledge about the wedding industry far surpassed mine and she knew all the questions to ask my vendors when a stressful wedding situation occurred. Not only did she help me get our day the way we wanted it but she helped to diffuse a potentially stressful situation. As we look at the pictures from our wedding we do not have a collection of photographs but a collection of the rainbow of emotions and moments that happened on the most important day of our lives. We didn’t have to tell her what those moments were she just captured them all perfectly, just how they happened.”

“All I can say is that Beka is the greatest photographer in the whole world! I have the best wedding pictures! I saw some of her work and I immediately knew that she had to be my wedding photographer. Her journalistic style was exactly what I was looking for. While I was busy talking to people and doing the whole bride thing, she captured the little moments that I did not get a chance to be a part of. I love how she created fun poses and captured moments even when I had no idea she was taking a picture. I could not have asked for anyone better! God has given Beka an absolutely amazing gift and I am so blessed she got to use it on me!”

“I am honored to recommend Rebekah for any special event. She is punctual, professional, personal and most importantly, an artist. I wish her a long and successful career as a photographer.”

- Beth Jones, mother of the groom

” My photo shoot with Beka was amazing, she made me feel like a model. I thought I would be a little nervous, but the minute she started shooting, she made me feel at ease. I show my pictures to everyone I know. She did some casual pictures with me in jeans and a cowboy hat, and some in my prom dress as well. This was my fourteenth birthday present from my parents, and I LOVED it, I had so much fun!!!”

“Rebekah has taken our family photos for the past two years and they are absolutely amazing! I have gotten so many compliments on them from everyone that sees them. She is always able to capture our daughter in the most precious moments as she runs around and plays during the shoot, as well as amazing family photos. Rebekah is so sweet and makes us comfortable as she takes our pictures during the shoots. I am so thankful to have her to capture our family moments throughout the years!!!”
