With a degree in photography & aesthetic philosophy from NYU, Rebecca Yale has a passion for creating memorable & meaningful imagery.
Rebecca's imagery transcends time, capturing the ephemeral essence of a wedding weekend. Her photographs transport her clients through time, evoking not just what their wedding looks like, but truly what it feels like. She loves documenting weddings so much, she couldn't resist picking up her camera to capture a few moments at her own.
Rebecca was named one of the top photographers in the world by Harper's Bazaar and BRIDES Magazine. Her work has also been awarded by PDN, Royal Geographic Society and National Geographic, and has been published in countless publications and exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. Rebecca is California based, but available for travel worldwide and has photographed in over 60 countries.

When not busy photographing weddings, editorial or fashion work, Rebecca is traveling the world- 60+ countries and counting- documenting causes she's passionate about like conservation, child protection, and human rights. She works with many non-profits including UNICEF, World Wildlife Fund, and VOW for Girls, where she serves as an ambassador.
She was one of the youngest finalists in PDN's prestigious Photo Annual Award for her photographs documenting global warming in the Arctic, which started a personal photographic project entitled Threatened, which is ongoing. Threatened has received awards from Nature's Best Photography, Travel Photographer of the Year, The Royal Geographic Society and photographs from the series have been featured in The Natural History Museum in London, Marie Claire, Vogue, GQ, The Scientific American, and National Geographic online.
