About

The word “ardent” is defined as being passionate, fervent,

zealous and dedicated. All words that are very fitting

adjectives to apply to love, marriage, family and life.

We believe every individual has an ardent story, a destiny

to fulfill, a story to discover and share with the world.

We have the extreme honor of getting to capture a

moment in but a brief paragraphy of your ardent story.

We are honored that you are considering us to help share

your story with the world.

We met on a Saturday morning at 11am with no intentions

of falling for one another. One of us was selling a camera

and the other was interested in the camera. Little did we

know that this is where chapter one of our ardent story

would begin. Those three hours at Starbucks on that

Saturday morning would change our lives. Obviously we

share a passion for photography but beyond that we share

a heart, a faith, and a love. We are very passionate about

what we do and are amazed daily that we get to take

pictures of amazing people and places TOGETHER!

Again, thank you for taking the time to learn a bit about

us and we hope to hear from you in the near future!

Reviews of Ardent Story Photography

Ardent Story is SO amazing and worth every penny. I was in two weddings they photographed and then used them for my own wedding. We did an engagement shoot and a bridal shoot as well and all the pictures are fabulous. Bryan and Bethany are such wonderful people and very calming presences to have around during the bustle of a wedding day. They are great at telling you how to pose best for a picture (especially when you're often awkward in front the camera like me) and they capture the best candids. Additionally, my church had restrictions about where photographers could stand during the ceremony, and they managed to still get amazing pictures of the whole ceremony.

Bethany and Bryan were the perfect photographers for our big day. The two of them are so personable and instantly put us at ease. They both have such an eye for photography and such strong experience in the wedding industry.

I had always been conflicted about wanting beautiful shots while also wanting some privacy, and the two of them were perfect to help achieve the right balance. They put in enough up front work to know what you're looking for and can both facilitate the creation of stunning moments as well as capture the authenticity of the day. The photos of the entire day were stunning. I also have a very large family and was worried about how long it would take to get all the shots we needed - but they are truly professionals who know how to make everything happen just as you intend.

I was so thankful to have met Bethany and Bryan and would recommend them to anyone!

Bethany and Bryan are fantastic. We have so many wonderful photos of our ceremony and reception. Ardent Story created a lovely blend of classic wedding photos and natural candid shots of friends and family. They really captured the feel of the day.
We highly recommend this husband & wife team.

Bethany and Bryan captured our wedding perfectly and we were so happy we found them! They were responsive to our ideas and desires and gave us a great overview of how the day was going to go. We were never left wondering what to expect on the day of our wedding. We received our wedding preview very quickly and the full package not too long after. The pictures came out great and we loved their photography style. They are also the sweetest people you'll meet and made us feel at ease about our big day! We would highly recommend Ardent Story and would love to use them for other big moments in our life!

Ardent Story Photography made my wedding day an absolute dream! Let me first say that they are a PRICELESS duo and the sweetest couple ever. I'm so thankful for them both. They captured our engagement photos and we absolutely loved those photos. Then the wedding day came and we were blown away once again by their work. This couple is seriously such a blessing to me and my husband. Their presence on our wedding day was such a blessing. They capture the day without interrupting the magic. In fact, they just add to the magic of a wedding day! LOVE LOVE LOVE them. I continually recommend them to my friends and will ALWAYS say that they are priceless. Photography is an investment that you do NOT want to mess up. Make sure you have a professional and experienced photographer. Honestly, just make sure you pick Ardent Story :)

Bethany and Bryan were awesome! They not only took great pictures, but also unfailingly helpful and kind throughout the engagement picture and wedding picture process. We cannot recommend them any more highly.

We feel so lucky Ardent Story photographed our wedding. Bethany and Bryan were highly recommended to us by friends, and working with them was one of our smartest wedding decisions. They are kind, professional, talented and fun (a rare and winning combination). One of the biggest compliments I can give them is that my husband, who hates having his picture taken, had a great time taking the photos for our wedding. By far one of our favorite wedding vendors, I highly recommend working with Ardent Story. It is a phenomenal experience. They are the best!

My husband and I chose Ardent Story for our wedding in August 2015. We are very happy with our decision to book Bryan and Bethany as they exceeded our expectations. They are both professional and personal. I had no difficulty contacting them for information or with questions. Every correspondence was replied to quickly. They took the time to meet with us and got to know me and my husband as a couple. On our wedding day we felt like we were hanging out with friends as they were taking our photos. Not to mention, all of our other vendors enjoyed working along side them. We love all of our photos and have received so many compliments. I strongly recommend choosing Ardent Story. I have been referring them to all of my engaged friends, and we will be using them again for future family photos and life events.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We've had the great pleasure of working on many weddings with these talented photographers. As a hair and makeup artist, I always know that some of my best pictures for my own website will come from the brides they photograph. They have a way of capturing so much emotion that each photo tells a story. You will cherish your album forever when you hire Ardent Story.

Bethany Scott recently photographed a wedding and reception at Victoria Belle Mansion. Her work was awesome - very artistic. She also worked well with our Bride, Groom and their families to get the photos they wanted to preserve the memories. Looking forward to working her again soon.
