  • Starts at $1,900
  • Serves Surf City, NC

I’m a veteran wife and mama of 3, with a passion for documenting love stories. I picked up my first camera at 11 years old and have kept learning since. With my years of experience in wedding photography I give couples timeless, heirloom moments to look back on for years. I’m a believer and try my best to honor God in all that I do with the talent and business he has blessed me with.

“Rebecca has been our photographer 3 times now and I’m not sure how we can go with anyone else at this point. She knows our quirks, how to call me out for my terrible fake smile, and doesn’t stop until she gets the shots she knows we’re going to want. Seeing how excited she gets about finding the perfect light or backdrop just further confirms we picked the right one. She is truly an artist and it’s a joy to watch her at work while also being the subject. Whether you’re shy in front of the camera or not, she’s going to make sure you have the best time and helps guide you to make timeless memories. She blew us away off the bat with our engagement photos; gave me the most fun, confidence-boosting bridal boudoir session; and then absolutely rocked our worlds covering our wedding. Hire her!! You won’t be disappointed”

“We planned our wedding from all the way across the country (Florida to California) so we already had challenges. From the beginning, the price was great and the photos looked promising, so we decided to go for it and we are so glad we did! Turned out to be well worth it. Michael connected with us immediately, assured us he would make it happen and not to worry about a thing. We communicated over the phone and through email, he always answered every time I called, ready to listen and note my requests. The day of, the photographer Michael booked for us, Michaela Gardener drove hours to be there for our special day and even brought an assistant. She was willing to be hands on all day, treated my children like family and even stayed late to capture extra shots. Her experience shows from her work. Both the DJ and Photographer arrived early to set up and are experienced business owners. The photos are great quality and high resolution. They came out so beautiful, even with our imperfect family and little ones running around, she somehow made us look great. We are so satisfied and blown away by how the pictures turned out that every little thing that didn’t go as planned that day just melted away because the photos just perfectly captured our love and the great time our guests had. Wedding planning can be very stressful and chaotic and so I’m very glad we found someone to make this part of the wedding easy. All within our budget. Two less things we had to stress about and lucky we could trust Michael. Very happy with our experience”

“Evan Taylor Studio was an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding day. From our very first interaction, their communication style was easygoing, thorough, and clear, which instantly put us at ease despite our camera shyness. Through the whole process of engagement photos, bridal session, and then the wedding day, he made us feel comfortable and confident. His work is stunning - timeless, unique, and perfectly aligned with the style we had envisioned for our day. He captured so many organic, natural moments and emotions that felt authentic to us, and I am so thankful to have these photos to look back on!”

Hello & welcome! I’m a film-forward wedding photographer and videographer in Tennessee, capturing real moments and timeless imagery. I blend digital with 35mm film and Kodak Super 8 to create work that feels nostalgic, imperfect, and deeply human. My documentary approach lets the day unfold naturally, preserving the in-between moments that matter most. I’m drawn to experience-focused weddings — intimate gatherings, outdoor celebrations, and days that feel like a meaningful hang with your favorite people.

“Hanna captured our day PERFECTLY! I can't recommend her enough! Her photos are truly magical and I can't wait to look at them for the rest of my life!”
