Bethany Maeve Photography

Hey, I’m Beth! I’m a wedding photographer based in Derbyshire, and I absolutely love what I do! I’ve always been drawn to storytelling, and photography is my way of telling the most beautiful stories – your love story. I started my photography journey a few years ago after realising how much joy I found in capturing real, raw moments. Over time, I honed my style to focus on natural, candid moments that let the emotions of the day shine through. I adore the way a simple glance, a shared laugh, or an unexpected moment can tell a bigger story than any posed photo ever could. My approach is relaxed and unobtrusive – I want you to enjoy your day without feeling like there’s a camera in your face all the time. Whether I’m capturing weddings in Derbyshire, Cheshire, or anywhere across the UK, I’m passionate about creating images that let you relive your special day, just as you experienced it, over and over again. What inspires me? The connection between people – those unspoken moments of love and joy that make every wedding day so unique and unforgettable.

I’ve been lucky enough to be behind the camera for over 7 amazing years, and honestly, it just keeps getting better! Every wedding I’ve photographed has taught me something new and added a layer to my passion for capturing those meaningful moments. In that time, I’ve had the privilege of working with hundreds of wonderful couples across Derbyshire, Cheshire, and beyond – each one bringing their own unique story, and each wedding feeling like such a celebration of love. Along the way, I’ve been thrilled to have my work featured in some fantastic wedding blogs which really felt like a massive achievement! I’ve also received client love and glowing reviews that mean the absolute world to me – it’s always so rewarding to hear that my photos helped couples relive their special day and brought back all the joy and emotion they felt. And while awards are always a nice bonus, the best achievement for me will always be those heartfelt moments I get to capture and the trust couples put in me to document their biggest day. It’s been such an incredible journey so far, and I’m excited for all the amazing weddings ahead, continuing to grow, learn, and, of course, capture all those unforgettable moments!

At Bethany Maeve Photography, I absolutely love capturing the magic of weddings in the beautiful Derbyshire countryside! Whether you're planning a rustic barn wedding or a chic, elegant affair, I'm here to make sure every moment is beautifully preserved. From the pre-wedding excitement to the big day itself, I specialise in documenting those genuine, love-filled moments with a personal touch. I work with couples who want their photos to reflect not just the ceremony, but the fun, joy, and unique vibe of their day. From those candid smiles during your vows to the wild dance floor celebrations, I’m all about making sure your memories are as stunning as your day itself. Every couple is different, and I love getting to know you to ensure the photos feel as authentic and special as your love story!

I’ve always believed in continuing to learn and grow, so I’m proud to be a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers (SWPP), which keeps me connected with other passionate photographers and up-to-date on industry standards and trends. It’s really important to me to be part of a community where we can share tips, support each other, and make sure we’re always delivering the best for our clients. I’ve also invested in some specialised workshops and training over the years, focusing on everything from lighting to editing techniques – it’s all about perfecting the little details that make the big difference. These certifications and experiences are not just about credentials, though; they’re about giving you peace of mind knowing you’re working with someone who’s committed to providing top-quality, professional service. I want every couple I work with to feel confident that their memories are in safe, experienced hands!
