Rhee was an awesome photographer! Her assistants were great too. They made us feel at such ease on the day of our wedding. We cannot wait to see the photos!

Rhee is a great photographer, she captured every single detail of our wedding day and the pictures were excellent! She was also a blessing on the wedding day, assisting me with various aspects of the days from getting ready to coordinating with the wedding planner. She's not cheap, but I would say the quality of her work and her wonderful personality is definitely worth the price. The reason that I gave her 4 stars instead of 5 is because there were quiet a number of things that we felt should have been but were not disclosed to us at contract signing that were critical to our selection process. Don't get me wrong... her work is a solid 5 star and we have no regrets in choosing her. However, the things that she neglect to disclose definitely caught us by surprise and may have been a deal breaker if we had known at the time of booking. I listed these out here so that other couples can make an informed decision and hope that Rhee will make sure to disclose these critical details to her future clients to ensure there are no surprises. Most of us are new to the vendor selection process and may not always know the "right questions" to ask in order to receive the "right answer". 1) Although most packages include the digital negatives of the wedding day and a free engagement session, it'll cost you extra if you want copies of the engagement images. They are not cheap either... let's just say that the image price is almost equivelent to an engagement session w/image that other photographers may charge. Because we were on a tight budget leading up to the wedding and were not made aware of the extra cost, we couldn't squeeeze in the additional funds to purchase them... sigh...=(2)If you decide to have an album, the wedding day images will not be provided to you until you've approved your album design. There may be a long queue before your album is worked on, so be prepared if you don't receive your image disc for a good number of months (over 5mo for us!)after you've selected the album pictures. Another big surprise as we had planned to make Thank You cards with our wedding picture but were unable to do so because of the time it took to receive the images. 3) Extra album pictures in addition to what's included in your package is charged per picture, not per page(method used by book binding companies and many photographers). This I understand since extra time is spend editing each picture that goes into the album. However, be aware that these edited images in your album will not be provided to you. I didn't ask, but pretty sure you'll have to pay extra if you want them.Hope this helps.

Rhee was terrific to work with. Everything about our wedding was a little bit discombobulated (the venue changed at the last minute, lots of dogs were there, we insisted on having a group shot of us with all of our guests...) and she rolled with each punch with a sense of humor. It's really hard to go from being a normal person to posing for a million shots, but once we saw the results of our engagement shoot (so much cooler than the nerdy posed ones we thought they would be), we were far, far more comfortable posing before our wedding. We could even convince our bridesmaids/groomsmen to relax into it, since they trusted us after seeing the engagement shots. They come out so much cooler than you think that they will! Perhaps most important, she and her team were professional: arrived when they said that they would, stayed as long as they said that they would, charged what they said they would. And they were there for a million little extras. (We didn't even know how to cut our cake -- thank god Rhee was there.) I'm not getting married ever again, but I want an excuse to hire Rhee again!

This photographer is so amazing. There were many times that we didn't even know she was there. She just seemed to get the shot without imposing herself, and what beautiful shots they are! She just seems to have a knack for capturing the most personal, precious and heart-warming moments. I would recommend Rhee Bevere to ANYONE who wants their day captured in the most perfect way. Some photographers just have a natural gift and just know the perfect moment to click the shutter on the camera. She is truly a treasure. Thanks, Rhee!

Rhee is fabulous. I met her when she photographed by best friend's wedding, and loved her and the pictures so much I booked her for my wedding (and now another friend has booked her for hers). The pictures are amazing, she captures absolutely everything, yet stays out of your way. My wedding day flew by for me, but looking at the pictures I can see every moment, even the things I missed. When you take your place at the head of the aisle, she'll look past and catch the wistful look on your father's face. That's where the magic is.She's also a wonderful person and so much fun to be around. Weddings are really stressful, and she's just. . . good company. Friendly, positive, good at making you laugh. She is my favorite vendor of all the vendors at all the weddings I have been in or at.

Rhee had an assistant which made it possible to be in two places at the same time

Rhee is GREAT!!! We met with a ton of photogs but never connected with one until I met Rhee. I was happy and comfortable with her from the first momment that I didnt even need to drag my FI in to meet her. It was Rhee, a second photo (Jason) and her asst the day of our wedding. They were everywhere! they got pictures of everything that we wanted to see and things that we didnt even realize were happening!

Rhee is definitely one of the most amazing photographers we have ever known. Ever since the day we met Rhee we were in the best of hands. She helped to make our wedding day so incredibly special, putting everyone at ease so they were able to enjoy every second of our day. We cannot say enough amazing things about her, Kelvin and Brooke, and we cannot wait to see the images from our wedding day. If they are as incredible as our engagement images, we will have hundreds of photos to treasure for the rest of our lives. We are so grateful to Rhee for her commitment to making the entire wedding planning process and our wedding day such an awesome experience!

I wish I could give Rhee 10 stars. She is the epitome of professionalism in every way. Years ago, when my husband and I were a newly engaged couple, I had to start shopping for photographers. As I was looking through many websites and proof books, I had an epiphany. What the heck am I doing looking through pictures of other people? I need to know how the photographer would capture our images, not of people I don't even know!!! This served my purpose for 2 reasons: 1) The best photographer would be chosen based upon their photos and how our personalities "clicked" and 2) We get an early start on our photo collection of "us" at the same time. A Win - Win situation for us, especially since I love displaying photos throughout my home.I e-mailed a couple of photographers asking to do a photo sitting and explained our intentions. That's when Rhee snapped her way into our lives. We started e-mailing and right away we just clicked. I loved how she understood me and I loved her sense of humor. We made a date to meet at a location and thats when I met her in person. SHE WAS AMAZING!! At first my husband and I felt a little weird having our own personal "paparazzi" following us around, but after 10 minutes of just being around her; she relaxed us and we were acting like our goofy selves. We were presented with our proofs a couple weeks later, and WOW! I was amazed and in love. She made me look and feel beautiful, I swear these pictures should be in magazines. The other thing that we loved about her is her honesty. Throughout our experience with her (pre-engagement, engagement and wedding), I came to realize that she will tell you if you really need something or not and she isn't going to lie to you just to get more money. I appreciate that in people. I have a huge family (my sister is a gorgeous model and is unfortunately very, very *snotty* when it comes to someone taking her picture) and everyone (even my sister) loved her and raves every time they see the photos. Bottom Line: She is the only one that is worth your business. She is so friendly, down to earth, honest, and proactive. If you want the best photographer, don't hire anyone else but the Rhee Bevere team. I have recommended her a million times and they have always hired her with the same satisfaction I have.

Hey there:So I recently finished being at that age where pretty much everyone I knew was getting married. We all have our videos and our photos and our menus and our invitations and such.I have to say though that in comparing my photos to everyone else, there is just no comparison. Rhee's have kicked the snot out of anyone else's album that I have seen.Rhee listens to what you want. There was a particular 'image' i had for our wedding (based on the background being columns) of a nice wide panorama of our whole wedding party up there as my wife and I faced each other. When we got our proofs, there it was, and its one of the best photos in the set. We always get compliments on it.Additionally, as Rhee came out of state for our wedding, she pre-screened any assistants so that we didn't have to. She made sure that the great asst. who showed up to work with her that day was qualified and would work well with her so that wasn't anything we had to worry ourselves with. As far as personality/character goes, she's easy going to work with, stays out of the way of the ceremony and yet is there to make sure to capture every part of it. If you want high quality and someone who is easy going, then Rhee is definitely your person to go with. If for some reason you don't want those, then go ahead and look elsewhere but I know that if my wife and I ever have another event which requires this level of photography, there is only one call I will make.
