Your wedding day will unfold exactly as it should, and there is something beautiful about that.
I document the day as it happens, not as it is staged, so your photos capture how it actually felt. Imagine flipping through your wedding album with your grandchildren one day. You will find that the small, fleeting moments are the ones that truly shine over time.
These photos do not just show what your wedding day looked like. They capture how it felt. I stay quiet, close, and let the day lead. No pausing for poses, and no directing the moments that matter most. Moments like these are irreplaceable, and that is why I photograph them the way I do.
"When I look back at our photos, it's like I'm transported back to our day. That's what it means to hire a documentary photographer — a title Bethany lives up to; her work speaks for itself. She's one of the best vendor decisions we made. Hire her now - you won't regret it!"
– Caroline + Duff
You do not need to rush, because your comfort comes first.
Moments are meant to be lived and enjoyed.
Things can be replaced, but your memories stay with you forever.
Photos serve to tell your real story.

FAQ
Absolutely! I do not charge for travel within a two-hour drive of Des Moines, Iowa. Beyond that distance, a simple travel fee is included with your quote.
Will you Travel to shoot our wedding?
Most of my best work comes from shooting solo, but a second photographer is available depending on the needs of your day.
Do you work with a second shooter?
During peak wedding season it can take a little longer, but I guarantee your full gallery within six weeks.
When will we get our photos back?
I remove temporary blemishes, but I do not edit out the details that make you unique. Freckles, birthmarks, and laugh lines are all part of your story.
How much retouching do you do?
