Beth is nothing short of amazing to work with. Professional, put me and my fiancé at ease, funny, sweet, and of course takes beautiful photos! We were actually childhood friends back in elementary and middle school, but as often happens, drifted apart in high school and beyond. Being connected on social media allowed me to creep on her budding photography business over the years, and I was constantly amazed by what I saw. I really loved how she seemed always able to capture the “behind the scenes” moments filled with emotion, not just pre-planned posed photos. When I got engaged she was the first vendor I called! I could not wait to work with her and was not disappointed. She was quick to respond to any questions I had, and patiently went over the day-of timeline and detailed list of all the family and bridal party pictures I wanted to take. She has a great eye and skillfully guided us through both our engagement and wedding photos. Her team on the wedding day seemed to capture every moment and be everywhere, yet were also unobtrusive. Photo ninjas! We moved efficiently through all of our family and bridal party photos, which I was afraid would take forever (big family), but not so – we were done in less than an hour and had some time to take a few extra “bride and groom only” photos that I wasn’t expecting. She really listened to what I wanted and worked to make that happen, chipping in her own suggestions or ideas that elevated my vision from “ok” to “excellent.” Our wedding day would not have been the same without her and her team. Thank you, Beth!

Stunning photos and so much fun!

We cannot say enough good things about Beth and how wonderful she was as part of our wedding team! Leading up to the wedding she was easy to communicate with and really worked with us to figure out what we wanted. She is just the nicest person and on our wedding day she worked so hard to make sure everything was perfect. She is a lot of fun and really puts you at ease which means you get pictures that are so much more genuine than a lot of the stiff, stuffy wedding photos you usually see. The finalized wedding photos are stunning and we couldn't be happier! Thank you so much Beth, you really added something special to our day! - Rachel and Mitch

Beth is an amazing photographer! She got a variety of different shots, adhered to the list of portraits we asked for, and was flexible when some of our wedding party was late to the shoot. She also did a great job on my bridal portraits, despite the 96-degree heat, which was draining on everyone involved. We definitely recommend her!

I'm Beth Ely (EEE-LEE)! I'm a full-time photographer and cinematographer based out of Durham, NC. Not many people can say they have their dream job, so I know just how lucky I am. My amazing clients allow me to capture intimate, honest, joyful images of their lives, and I love knowing that the pictures I'm making will be cherished for generations. I stumbled upon photography in college and fell in LOVE. I took every photography class that was offered (even temporarily switching majors to learn about fine art photography). I was hooked. After graduating from UNC-Chapel Hill’s photojournalism department in 2007, I did some globetrotting and circled back to the North Carolina triangle to grow some roots. I have been capturing weddings and families for the past twelve years, and I absolutely love what I do. When I’m not taking pictures, I’m trying to keep up with my wild toddler and marathoner husband, working in my garden, tasting new beers, or cuddling with our pup, Dax.
