MEET REBECCA
PHOTOGRAPHER, CREATIVE DIRECTOR AND ARTIST
I'm Rebecca, My passion lies in crafting exceptional, imagery that genuinely reflects your story. Beyond the lens, I'm a devoted wife and a proud dog-mom to my beloved mimi Aussie Doodle, Sagey .
Originally from Ivory Coast, West Africa, and raised in North Carolina, I'm now based between Seattle, Washington, and Portland, Oregon. I especially cherish Seattle summers, its vibrant coffee shops, and stunning nature, finding deep inspiration in these elements. Travel is also a profound source of inspiration for me, allowing me to forge meaningful connections and uncover life's overlooked joys.
My incredible husband and best friend, Isaac, brings immense joy to my life. His unwavering support empowers me to push creative boundaries. Love, in all its forms, is the driving force behind the captivating, emotion-filled, and romantic imagery I create.I approach photography as a documentarian, focused on authentically telling the story of your day as it unfolds, rather than simply recreating a Pinterest vision. As a creative director, I offer a unique service, guiding my brides through their wedding dress consultations to find the perfect style that enhances their beauty and complements their overall design.
I encourage my couples to think outside the box when choosing a venue, favoring spaces that are already naturally beautiful—like European-inspired gardens, intimate restaurants, or picturesque vineyards and wineries. These locations often offer exceptional lighting and inherent charm, allowing us to capture your day effortlessly, rather than working to transform a challenging space. When you choose Koral Bleu Photography, we are embarking on a journey together. We'll collaborate to craft an enchanting experience that breathes life into your vision and creates timeless memories.
I'm eager to learn more about you and the privilege of being your photographer. Let's connect over coffee or tea to discuss your dream wedding or engagement shoot and embark on this creative journey together.
MY PROCESS
Weddings on both digital and film, with a non-obtrusive, candid, documentary approach. I have a soft spot for timeless portraiture and an undeniable weakness for fashion. I love to travel for my work, so destination weddings are always welcome.
With experience has come clarity. I’ve learned that when couples look back on their photographs, it’s rarely the contrived moments or trend-driven poses that move them. It’s the honest, fleeting, tender moments—the ones that unfold naturally—that transport them back to how it felt to be there. To me, that is the true purpose of photography.
On a wedding day, I move fluidly between observer and participant. I dress with intention, blend in with ease, and allow intuition and curiosity to guide me. I respond to the energy in the room—collecting fragments, emotions, and quiet in-between moments—continually shape-shifting from a fly on the wall to a social butterfly drifting through the celebration.
The result is imagery that feels effortless yet intentional, artful yet deeply human—photographs that feel like memories, not performances.

creative Director
At Koral Bleu Photography, I believe your wedding photos should feel like you—honest, artful, and filled with intention. My approach is rooted in collaboration and connection, not just showing up to take photos but truly stepping into your world. That’s why I take on a limited number of weddings each year—to give each couple the attention and creative care their story deserves.
From the very beginning, I’m hands-on in shaping your experience. I help create thoughtful mood boards that bring your vision into focus, join you for key planning moments like dress fittings, and work with you to build a photography timeline that flows naturally with your day. I’m here to offer styling guidance, creative input, and a calm presence from start to finish.
The result? A deeply personal collection of images that feel timeless, real, and true to who you are.
concept and mood board
At Koral Bleu, photography is more than documentation—it’s a form of visual storytelling shaped by collaboration. I believe that the most meaningful images are created when there’s a shared creative language between myself and the couples I work with. That’s why I take time to truly understand your personality, your aesthetic, and the heart of your celebration.
Together, we build thoughtful moodboards for each chapter of your day, weaving in inspiration and details that reflect your story. This intentional planning allows us to move into your wedding or shoot with clarity and purpose, so when the moment comes, I can focus fully on capturing it with both artistry and intuition.
styling assistance
I believe style is a powerful part of storytelling—and it plays a key role in how your memories are captured. I’ve always had a deep love for fashion and keep a close eye on evolving trends, not just in bridal wear but across evening wear and destination looks as well. From your engagement session to a welcome dinner in Mykonos, and of course the wedding day itself, I’m here to offer thoughtful styling advice every step of the way.
Whether it’s curating your bridal wardrobe, selecting a standout look for a special event, or helping coordinate with your wedding party, I’ll help you choose pieces that align with your vision and the overall aesthetic of your celebration. Every look is carefully considered so that your images feel cohesive, elevated, and true to you.
