Winter weddings have their own charm, and Jessica and Isaiah’s big day at Riverside Reception in downtown Geneva was the perfect example. It was cold outside, but the love and joy inside made it feel so warm and inviting.

One of my favorite details was their unique bookshelf seating chart—such a fun and personal touch! And the cozy glow of candles everywhere really set the mood for a romantic evening. Everything about their day felt thoughtful and completely them.

You might remember this sweet couple from their bookstore/Harry Potter-themed engagement session. You can check out that blog post here!

Thank you Jessica for the kind words! "Becka was truly awesome as our wedding photographer! Her photos are of amazing quality and perfectly capture both my and my husband’s personalities. She was always open to our ideas, like incorporating a wand fight and a special lift we do in every milestone photo.

We absolutely loved our engagement session with her, where we had the chance to meet, discuss our vibe, and take beautiful photos that we proudly shared on social media and used throughout our wedding planning process (like on our wedding website and save the dates).

On our wedding day, Becka and her assistant worked seamlessly together. There were moments when I started to feel overwhelmed, but Becka handled everything very professionally, ensuring that I could enjoy the day while still getting all the photos I wanted. We were amazed at how many stunning photos we got in such a short amount of time, and I genuinely love every single one of them.

I’m incredibly grateful for her talent and dedication in capturing our wedding day, as these are the memories we’ll cherish forever. I would 100% recommend Becka to other couples and will definitely return to her for all our photography needs!"
