THE WEDDING EXPERIENCE
for NC + SC weddings
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. Since I hope we'll be working together soon, I wanted to share a few quick facts about myself to help you get to know me:
1. My husband and I got married in August of 2017. Our ideal date night is pizza and a movie at home...or drive-thru Taco Bell and Monday Night Football.
2. We welcomed our second precious little girl into the world in July of 2022, and I love being a family of four.
3. I'm some mixture of laid back and adventurous. I love a pretty landscape, especially if mountains are involved.
4. I'm horrible at directions, like the worst of anyone I know. Ask my sister about that time I made a wrong turn driving home. GPS to the rescue.
5. Capturing real emotions on camera gets me excited.
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
Depending on the package you choose, we'll get together for a fun engagement session! There may be a travel fee if you want to shoot outside the Raleigh area, but I am totally down for some adventurous mountain or beach engagement photos!
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 lots of 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.
