We heard it was Husband Appreciation Day on Saturday, so why not a post for the fellas…
A wedding day isn’t just “her” day. It’s their day.
Too often, the groom fades into the background—but not here. At Dearly Beloved Weddings, we believe both the bride and groom deserve the spotlight.
So we’re raising a glass to the guys who show up with quiet confidence, deep love, and great style.
Here’s to the husbands.
To the ones who hold steady.
To the ones who feel it all.
To the ones who make the day even better just by being themselves.
Happy (belated) Husband Appreciation Day, featuring just a handful of our amazing DBW Grooms: Steven, Tom, Matthew, Ricky, and Matthew. 🥂

Just a few sneak peeks from Chelsea & Ryan’s day—captured on real film 🎞
We’re not saying we time-traveled… but we’re also not not saying that.
Our new sister brand .co is dropping in just 2 weeks on May 1st and she’s bringing all the nostalgic vibes. 📹❤️
Set your reminders—this launch is one for the memory books… 😉

Some weddings just hit different. Tessa & Casey’s day wasn’t about the perfect details or a packed dance floor—it was about the people. The hugs that lasted a little longer, the hands held a little tighter, the love that felt like home. The way their friends and family surrounded them with so much warmth, you could actually feel it. What an honor to be in spaces like this, capturing love in its realest form. 🥹❤️

A smaller guest list means more time with your inner circle, less pressure, and more space for real, meaningful moments. Whether it’s just the two of you or a cozy backyard wedding with your closest loved ones, intimate weddings strip away the extra and focus on what truly matters—your love. 💛

Andrew and Mackenzie had the most gorgeous sunrise engagement session. Early mornings mean having those fan-favorite spots all to yourself—no crowds, no distractions—just you, your person, and a whole lot of love. And trust us, the glow? Totally worth the early wake-up call. 💛
Would you say “yes” to a sunrise session?

“She said YES” 💍✨
Those three magic words start the end of one chapter and the beginning of another.
Capturing Bailey & Michael’s engagement was a reminder of what proposals are really about—love, commitment, and the start of forever.
Did you know that the first day of spring is also National Proposal Day? 💍🌷We’re honoring all the beautiful beginnings, the heartfelt yeses, and the stories still waiting to be told. If you’re newly engaged (or just love a good proposal story), we’d love to hear yours. 💛

Mia & Julian’s wedding at Domain Pterion was such a beautiful reflection of their love and faith. Instead of a first look, they chose a private first touch, holding hands and sharing heartfelt vows with only God (and our team) as their witness. Every part of their day was filled with intentional moments of prayer and worship, keeping Christ at the center of their celebration. It’s weddings like these that remind us why we love what we do—capturing the sacred, emotional moments that make your love story truly one of a kind. 💍🥰
Read and see more from their wedding day on our blog. Link is in our bio!
There’s something incredibly special about moments like these—the first look with the ones who have paved the way before us. A lifetime of love, wisdom, and unwavering support captured in just a few frames.
This is why we do what we do. Because weddings aren’t just about the day itself; they’re about the generations that came before and the stories that will be told for years to come. Your wedding photos and films are more than just memories—they are a legacy to be cherished, passed down, and relived over and over again.
Let’s capture the moments that truly matter.

One of the most important days of your life could be captured by a couple that’s also in love. We're Kristen and Christian Lopez; a husband and wife wedding team based in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. We will capture the fun, romance, and raw emotions of your wedding day and we might even become your friends! We're high school sweethearts that tied the knot on September 7, 2013. Every day since then we have been working together towards our dreams of running our own creative businesses. We officially launched our brands, Dearly Beloved Weddings along with our other media company, Prevailed Studios, LLC in 2017.
We have photographed 100+ weddings so far and it's been such a blessing. With every moment we capture we learn something new about our talents and what we’re passionate about. Christian and I find so much joy in capturing the pure love and joy of marriage. Dearly Beloved provides a beautiful mix of traditional and photojournalistic candid styles of photography and filmmaking. We strive to be storytellers and we'd love to tell your love story!
Happily serving the Lehigh Valley, Poconos, Philadelphia, and the tri-state area.
Available to travel anywhere in the US and the world!
CAPTURING REAL MOMENTS VS. TAKING A PHOTO
We are all about relationships with our couples, and love the chance to get to know you before your special day. Our goal when capturing a wedding is to also capture real moments, the essence of who you are, and the love you have for each other. We know the group and posed photos are important too, but we pay extra close attention to those authentic moments that last a lifetime. It’s not about just taking a photo, we want to tell your love story.
