THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE FOR ANDREW + MADISON
documenting love stories in a laid-back, fun, and meaningful way
LAID BACK, MEANINGFUL, CANDID PHOTO COVERAGE OF YOUR DAY
I'm not here to add any pressure or stress to your day. I'm so big on wanting to create a space where you and your people can interact naturally and authentically with each other. Then I'll be there to capture what unfolds. Here's what I want your photos to show: connection, interaction, movement, and emotion. I want you to have fun with your person all day long!
OPEN LINE OF COMMUNICATION + PLANNING HELP
Ask me any questions any time leading up to your wedding. I'll help you create a timeline with photos in mind. I'll follow you around on your wedding day (yep, that's me. Always watching. But in the best way). And after that...well, let's stay friends, mkay? My past brides seriously are special to me.
CELEBRATE WITH PHOTOS!
After we party and celebrate your love, you get a big ole blog post full of sneaks within the week! Enjoy all those highlights from your day, but don't forget there's lots more coming! You can look forward to getting your bride and groom gallery on your one month anniversary and your full gallery on your two month anniversary. Celebrate with photos woohoo!
HEY HEY!
I'm Bethany. Can I share a few quick facts about what drives my photography? Here we go...
1. Creating space for natural, real, fun, and meaningful connection - There's a difference between fake candid and real candid. The real stuff is produced by actual moments and natural emotions. That's what I'm here for. And I help you relax and have fun so we can make the real stuff happen.
2. I'm some mixture of laid back and adventurous. I love God's creation in landscapes and am partial to mountains and forests...ya know, the magical kind. Nine times out of ten I'm going to gravitate to the outside photo spots especially if there's pretty scenery!
3. Telling stories through big and small moments - because you're going to want to remember both. Rather than an all-day photoshoot, let's just capture the moments as they unfold.
4. True-to-you wedding days focused on intentionality, love, and what's important to you.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Let's Meet!
Let's get to know each other! We'll hop on a Zoom call and talk about your vision for your wedding and what you'd like to see when it comes to photography. I'll share next steps on that call, and we'll become new friends!
Engagement Session
Engagement sessions are fun and helpful. We get to know each other better which can make wedding day more relaxed. You also get pretty pictures in more casual clothes (as opposed to your fancy wedding day clothes).
6 Weeks Out
Don't forget the line of communication for you and me is always open, but the next big thing after your engagement session is the 6 week out wedding questionnaire. You'll fill me in on more of the final details.
One Month Out
Then we'll set up a time to chat on the phone or Facetime. I'll help you craft the perfect timeline for your day with beautiful photos in mind. We'll talk through family portraits. And I'll answer any of your questions.
Wedding Week
I'll cheer you on and capture your day through photos. You can expect sneak peeks within the week. Your bride & groom gallery will be delivered on your one month anniversary. And your full gallery will be delivered on your two month anniversary. Celebrate with photos!

WHAT'S NEXT?
A few more quick thoughts to help you see if we may be a good fit:
I’m not looking for the perfectly-posed photo. You don’t have to worry about where your hand should go. I love capturing reactions, and my goal is to create a space where you can relax and enjoy each other.
I love when couples plan their wedding day with great intention, not caught up in tradition, expectation, or even pictures. To me, the pictures are about the moments. The moments aren't about the pictures.
Weddings are good, but marriage is better and far more important. I'd love to be there documenting YOUR first day of marriage!
If you're ready to move forward, email me back and let me know which package you'd like to go with. I'll be in touch from there!
