I love capturing the little details that make your wedding reception uniquely yours. The way the candlelight flickers against glassware, the texture of the linens, the florals that bring everything together—these are the elements that create the atmosphere of your celebration. I focus on preserving these moments so that when you look back at your photos, you don’t just see how your reception looked—you remember how it felt. 🤍

Your ceremony is the heart of your wedding day, and a little mindfulness can make the moment even more magical. 🤍

Here’s a quick guide⬇️

✔️ DO -
+ Smile as you walk down the aisle and focus on your partner.
+ Linger during your first kiss—it’s your moment!
+ Stay present and soak in every second—you’re getting married!

❌DON’T -
+ Forget to hand off your bouquet after walking down the aisle.
+ Stress if the flower girl or ring bearer isn’t “on time” or gets a little emotional.
+ Let the moment pass without savouring the joy of it all.

Take a deep breath and enjoy every second of your “I do”! 💕

Engagement sessions are such a special part of your wedding photography journey. They give you and your partner a chance to work with me to find how you’re most comfortable in front of the camera. It’s like a warm-up for the big day! 😊

When your wedding arrives, you can focus entirely on what matters—marrying the love of your life—without stressing about the photos. Let’s make your engagement session a relaxed and fun preview of your wedding day magic!

What season do you envision for your engagement session? ⬇️

Taking photos with your wedding party can be a fun (and efficient!) experience if planned right.
Here are my top three tips:
1️⃣ Plan Enough Time: Build enough room into your timeline to avoid rushing.
2️⃣ Stick to One Location: Staying in one spot doesn’t limit variety—changing poses and groupings creates stunning options while saving time and keeping things calm.
3️⃣ Hire a Pro: A professional photographer (like me! 😉) knows how to organize group photos quickly and capture them beautifully.

With these tips, your wedding party photos will be timeless and stress-free! 📸🎉

As the snow falls and the cold winds blow, I can’t help but dream of warmer days filled with summer weddings like this one. While it might be the “off-season,” I’m busy behind the scenes preparing for an incredible 2025 full of love stories to capture. From updating my skills to refining my processes, this is the time when Split Rail Studios grows. I’m so excited to bring even more magic to the couples I get to work with this year! ❄️ ☀️

The morning of your wedding is full of excitement and beautiful little details. 💍 I’ll start by capturing flat-lays of your paper goods, rings, and accessories, setting the tone for your story. From there, we’ll move into portraits as you step into your gown and any special first-look moments you have planned.

Are you planning a first look with someone special? Let me know in the comments!

Your wedding day should feel as amazing as it looks! ✨

Here are my top three tips for soaking in every moment:
1️⃣ Take breaks! Whether it’s a quiet walk with your partner or a deep breath by the beach, those moments of stillness are golden.
2️⃣ Choose your people wisely. Surround yourself with a bridal party that lifts you up and makes the day even brighter.
3️⃣ Hire vendors you trust. When you know your team has everything under control, you can relax and truly enjoy the celebration.

Your wedding party is more than just your closest friends—they’re your support system and hype crew! 💕 Choosing this group can be difficult, but choosing wisely is essential! With them by your side and a photographer you can trust (hi, I’m Bethany! 👋) means you can relax, be yourself, and spend less time worrying about posed smiles and more time laughing with your favourite people. The result? Genuine, joy-filled portraits that capture the heart of your day.

Designing your head table can feel overwhelming, but here’s a pro tip: Use layers! 🌿

The best-designed tables have layers that keep the eye engaged. Think linens, place settings, and flowers as different layers of your design. It’s the visual interest that makes your photos POP! And if you’re feeling extra, hire a pro team to bring it all together.

Your engagement session is more than just taking pretty pictures (although trust me, you’ll get those too! 😉). 📸 It’s an opportunity to connect, have fun, and create memories together. And here’s the best part: I’m here to help you make it uniquely you!!

Before your session, I send out a detailed questionnaire to get to know you as a couple—your story, your favorite activities, and your vision. From there, we brainstorm together to craft a session that feels personal and meaningful.

For this sweet couple, we brought their vision to life with a cozy setup: wine, a blanket, and a charcuterie board for a romantic picnic vibe. 🥂 But every session is different because it’s all about you.

No stiff, awkward poses here—just an experience that’s thoughtful, tailored, and uniquely yours. Let’s make magic together!✨

When booking a wedding photographer and videographer, you deserve more than just a service—you deserve an experience that leaves you feeling cared for, authentically captured, and relaxed throughout it all.

That’s why I started Split Rail Studios.🩵

As a former bride myself, I know how much of a difference it makes to have a team you can lean on and trust. From your engagement session to your wedding day and beyond, my goal is to create a seamless, stress-free experience while capturing all the moments that matter most.
