About

I’m Bethany Michaela and I photograph lovers of every kind as they celebrate living and traveling this world with intention, and I’ve been loving this journey for over seven years!

I want your photographs to live for many, many generations. I don’t follow trends, I simply document you, your story, sincerely and organically. And no matter who you are, love is love! I am and will always be an equality-minded wedding & elopement photographer.

My first memories are of holding and wondering about my grandfather's camera - a curiosity that's carried me through life and a decade into a career dedicated to discovering moments to capture memories in the making. For me, taking photos is an expedition of where you've been and how you've grown together. A celebration of where your love is taking you next. Whether you've just said "yes" or looking to say "I do," I will sit and design a style and direction just for you. Every image will elicit the same warmth you're feeling now, a celebration of a love that is only yours.

My work has been featured in Martha Stewart Weddings, Anthropologie, BRIDES, 100 Layer Cake, Hey Wedding Lady, Bridal Musings, Ruffled Blog, Huffington Post, and The New York Times.

Not a one trick pony

You hire Bethany you get a professional at capturing unforgettable moments but more importantly you get a communication specialist who can anticipate and name needs before you even know they are a need.

Bethany is an incredible photographer and she captured our wedding day perfectly. We’re so happy she was a part of our wedding day. We love all of the candid photographs of our friends and family from throughout the day. She did an amazing job highlighting all of the moments that were most special to us and captured some moments throughout the night that we had even missed! I honestly forgot she was there sometimes - which as someone who is awkward in front of the camera finds it hard to forget! We will be cherishing these photographs for many years to come. Thank you Bethany!

Bethany was a wonderful presence on our wedding day. She captured everything perfectly. I get so many compliments on our photos. She also had them to us extremely quickly. My friends waited 3 months + for their wedding pics. We had ours before we were back from the honeymoon!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
