About Bethany & Wellspring Photography

I’m excited about how Wellspring Photography is growing and through that I am able to learn more as well as venture into new areas of photography. We now offer packages for any events in life, from as big as weddings and births to as small as your child’s first time making chocolate chip cookies. We are now even doing school photographs from preschool through high school, as well as family, pregnancy, and baby sessions. Any photography need you have, we would be honored and excited to fulfill it.

Here at Wellspring Photography we love photography and love capturing the important moments in life. Any moment worth remembering is worth photographing.

Nazareth Hall Bridal Show {Toledo Wedding Photography}

Wednesday, March 9th, 2011

 

So I actually made it to this bridal show….no giving birth this time :) It was great meeting so many awesome couples and hearing the amazing and creative ways those boys asked their girls to marry them! We really did meet a lot of nice people. Someone actually said to us "You must work so hard and pay attention to details, just look at your booth! It’s so creative and you can see the work you put into it" That made our day! Putting the booth together is a lot of work (as my hubby and dad can attest to) Tabitha and I have big ideas…that usually require men to haul things in for us. Take a look for yourself:

Yes..those are trees in the background…Tabitha’s big idea this year. I thought she was crazy..I thought how are we going to bring trees inside? Once I saw them I was sooo happy she thought of them!

The infamous windows and crates

Proud of our booth and so looking forward to all the memories we get to capture!

We also met some really cool vendors:

It was great meeting new friends and seeing some existing friends as well as meeting all those starry eyed brides dreaming of the most romantic day of their lives! I seriously love my job! It’s so awesome! A big thank you to the Nazareth Hall staff! They did a great job setting the place up and helping vendors and brides alike!

Feeling Good {Toledo Photography}

Thursday, February 24th, 2011

 

So I got a couple of emails this week that just really made my day! Thought I would share just because these emails just put a huge smile on my face and really I just have the best job I ever. I really love what I do and I so enjoy getting to know clients and capturing their memories.

Bethany, Libby’s pictures are beautiful!!  Your package is here already, we are so very pleased!  Thank
you so much!
Sandy

 

Bethany,
Just wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our parents book.  I received a lot of compliments on the book and the quality of your photos. 

Mary

 

I am so excited to see what 2011 brings, who I get to meet and who I get to see again. My maternity leave ends on Sunday and I have a shoot already! So pumped. Be sure to check back and see what I am doing:) Plus Tabitha and I have some big announcements coming up!

Behind the Scenes~A Look at 2010 {Toledo Photography}

Sunday, January 2nd, 2011

I know everyone is reminiscing about 2010 but I figured why not? Better throw my two scents in! We had a seriously amazing year. Got to photograph clients again as well as photographed many new clients! I got to cuddle lots and lots of babies, play with some cute and funny kids and photograph some amazing couples at their weddings :) That is just the beginning though. When we photograph an event we then bring the photos to our office computers and edit them. Editing takes double the time of the event. After that there are products that need to be created (albums etc) and that’s where Andrea comes in :) I’m sure you have all heard me speak of Andrea! She is our amazing in house graphic designer! She takes our photos and arranges them and makes them look even better!  I figured she needed a shout out considering she made 2010 look awesome. Here’s a look at some of my favorite album spreads Andrea created this year:
