the experience
Weddings are stressful. Taking photos doesn't have to be. From day one, I get to know who you are as a couple: what you love about each other or your favorite thing to do together on a Friday night. I listen to your dreams and desires for your wedding day. Then, I work with you and your planner to design a timeline that allows for relaxed photos AND the unexpected bourbon shot with dad.
No need to be a model.
Just be you and have the time of your life!
I will take care of the rest.
Let's get to know each other! We will hop on 30-40 min. zoom call. I love knowing how the two of you met and what makes you YOU. We talk about your comfort level with being in front of the camera and how you want to show up in the photographs. My work is anchored in photojournalism but I like creating editorial portraiture when appropriate. This largely depends on the couple and their comfort level in front of the camera.
When you are ready to book, you sign a contract and make a 50% deposit. Once both are complete, you are officially booked! I will be in touch with you and your planner one to two months out to work out the timeline, plan the family photo list, and create a photography plan.
An engagement session is an optional part of every wedding package. This is a fun time where we get to know one another and create some images that tell a bit more of your story beyond the wedding day. Usually this involves grabbing a drink or bite to eat, exploring somewhere meaningful and having a great time. Think of it as a fun date with me tagging along.
It's here! I will be telling your story from the details to the emotional candids. You can relax knowing that I will guide you into the most flattering light and lead you through each of those special moments.
Pop the bubbly and snuggle up on the couch! Eight to twelve weeks after your wedding date, I deliver all the edited high resolution images on an online gallery for you to download, order professional prints and create an album. You can expect 50-100 photos delivered per hour of coverage. All photos will be delivered as high resolution digital files. And don't worry, I share lots of sneak peaks along the way!
Attention to detail from start to finish. My heirloom albums are handmade to last a lifetime. The thick luxurious layflat pages are enclosed by a fine linen or leather cover. Designed to beautifully showcase your cherished memories for generations to come.

We put our full trust in Bethany as the artist and could not be more thrilled. She blended effortlessly with our intimate group and provided a calm presence with gentle direction- no forced posing here! Our personalities were captured in such a raw and beautiful way that each photo emanates the emotion of the moment long after it has passed. Bethany went above and beyond scoping the best locations in a foreign city, finding the perfect light during a rainstorm, and creating a comforting environment throughout our boudoir shoot while I recovered from the flu. We couldn't imagine the week without Bethany's keen eye for beauty in the inbetween.

My husband and I enjoyed every aspect of working with Bethany for both our Sonoma Coast engagement and our Upstate New York wedding. Bethany was incredible to work with because she was able to listen and understand our vision while offering her professional opinion and personal style, perfectly capturing the most special images from our big moments. Bethany is reliable, easy to communicate with and always made us and our family feel comfortable. Bethany's mix of film and digital images left us speechless, as she was able to capture not only moments, but organic feelings through her photography. From the moment we first met Bethany, it was crystal clear how much she cares about her clients and her passion for what she does shines through her images.

Bethany’s photos will be cherished forever and we cannot thank her enough!
