About

Bethany is a photographer with a heart for love stories told in quiet places. She specializes in elopements, intimate weddings, and boudoir photography, capturing the sacred, personal, and wildly beautiful moments that define your journey.

For me, photography is more than just taking pictures—it’s about honoring connection. Whether you’re exchanging vows on a mountain trail, in your backyard, or in a quiet chapel with just a few cherished guests, I’m here to preserve the honest, heartfelt moments that make your love story unique.

I also offer fine art boudoir sessions that celebrate femininity, confidence, and the beauty of being fearfully and wonderfully made. My approach is always tasteful, empowering, and rooted in trust—creating space for women to see themselves with love and dignity.

As a wife, mom, and stepmom, I know the depth and strength love requires. I carry that understanding into every session, offering a calm, supportive presence and an eye for the moments that matter most. My goal is to serve you with grace, intention, and artistry—so you can simply be present and let the story unfold.

If your heart longs for something meaningful, simple, and real, I’d be honored to help you capture it.

"I believe in capturing and preserving the most special moments in the most authentic way."

I met with Bethany for a boudoir shoot for a gift for my new husband. I have never done one before so I was a bit nervous but she made me feel so at ease and comfortable. After the shoot she even recommended some albums to buy that would compliment the photos and I was not disappointed! She also had a makeup artist there to do my hair and makeup as part of the shoot! My husband loved the photos also ;)

We were so lucky to find someone so wonderful at what they do. We got into a bind with another photographer and Bethany May took on the contract of doing our wedding 6 weeks prior. She was so friendly and delightful. Felt very confortable and at ease. Will definitely be using her services in the future.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
