More Than Just a Photographer
You need someone committed to walking alongside you in the months leading up to your wedding, offering guidance, clarity, and a steady presence to ensure every detail is covered.
That’s where experience matters.
I’m Bethany, and I’ve been photographing weddings since 2011. With over 17 years behind the camera, I take on a limited number of weddings each year so every couple receives a deeply personal, hands-on experience.
From thoughtful timeline guidance to creative direction on the day itself, you’re never left wondering what comes next. I anticipate moments before they happen, guide when needed, and step back when the magic unfolds naturally so you can enjoy your day.
For couples who love color, texture, and who value honest moments over staged ones.
Collaborative, Calm, & Creative
This approach allows us to see what others miss
Your wedding isn't a production.
It's about your values, your people, your story, and everything you’ve built together.
By working closely with couples and planners, we take the time to understand your vision, your people, and the energy of your day, resulting in photographs that feel effortless, refined, and deeply personal.
