Bethany + Nathan // Engagements//04.14.11

Yay for Bethany + Nathan! These two have such a sweet story of young love that’s stood the test of time. They have such a sweet spirit about them and laugh at everything that comes their way. Laughter is such a strong quality for a marriage and one that David and I cherish so very much. These two have that base covered and then some. I’ve been lucky to get to know Bethany over the years through her sister, Ashley, who is a sweet friend of mine. I’ve watched Bethany and her twin sister grow up throw Ashley’s eyes and her excitement for Bethany getting married is so contagious and makes me think of her as my sister too. I love this family and am very excited and honored to be shooting Bethany + Nathan’s wedding.

On another note.. Nathan.. LOVES.. fishing and has collected some pretty fabulous gear to prove it. I’m not sure he’d call it “fabulous” exactly.. but I think you’ll get the picture. One of my favorite things about this shoot is shooting them as they usually are when he takes Bethany fishing… she reads magazines and works on her tan as he catches the big ones. I love it and I LOVE being able to capture stories like this with my camera.

We shot this session at Norris Dam. The park by the river there is one of my very favorite places to shoot. We had a blast and I hope you enjoy the product as much as I did.

  25. Anita Daulton 04.15.11

    The photos show truth and genuine affection. I love a photographer who is willing to spend the time to capture the “real” moments, and the ability to get the subjects at ease enough …to let it show. I had Bethany and her siblings from infants – up in the church nursery and at my house and their house. I love them like my family.
    Congratulations Nathan and Bethany! I feel so proud for you and your families….
    Love… Anita
