Kind Words
Beth photographed our wedding and went above and beyond in every single way. We are so so thankful we got the opportunity to work with her.
She was on top of everything and most important had a very calm demeanor throughout the day which I so appreciated when things got chaotic! I cannot recommend Beth enough!

ALBUMS
Albums are a personal passion for Beth, therefore heirloom wedding albums are included in several wedding day packages.
The magical moments of your wedding day deserve to be remembered forever. Story and True ensures your emotions and memories are experienced for generations.
A favorite memory of Beth’s was looking through her grandparents wedding album as a little girl. Her Great Uncle was a photographer and took the pictures for their special day. This album has become a family heirloom and one of her most prized possessions.
