  • Hello there!

    We are Dan and Bethany Cox, a twenty something married couple, originally from the sunny south. Being wedding photographers was a dream that we had for a long time. We chose to be wedding photographers. That’s right. We decided that it would probably be the best job ever, (which it is) and then made it happen. Shooting weddings is amazing and we truly enjoy being a part of our couples big day.
    We hope you have fun browsing through our blog and please feel free to also visit our website: www.bethanydan.com
    Thanks for stopping by! -Bethany and Dan

Dog Days of Summer

Ok, technically it isn’t even summer yet but these photos make me feel like it could be. I got to do a little photo shoot with a few dogs who frequent the kayak shop that Dan works at. It was so fun it really didn’t feel like I was working at all, even culling, editing, and blogging it. Honestly, Dogs are the best. I love them, especially our little Hattie, who is that star of the show in my biased opinion.

Boston: Home or Vacation?

I know Dan and I have lived in Boston for over a year but I still feel like a tourist whenever I get on the pavement of downtown. Perhaps it’s because I don’t go into the city all that often, or perhaps it’s because I have not been able to explore it as much as I really want to, (aka get lost in the city with no place to be and no plan), but either way, it’s still exciting and fun to me.

I am thinking of going downtown sometime this week and walking around and taking photos of the city. Any requests? Anything you have wanted to see of the city that I can check out for you as a local tourist? Let me know and I’ll do it!

Elizabeth Langford - There is a cemetery up on a hill above the Old North Church. I remember going there years ago and I wonder what it looks like in Spring time. I’ve only ever seen Boston towards the end of the summer.

Kelly - Well I was born and raise until 10 years old in Marlboro, MA. I would love to see any pictures you take of downtown Boston. I miss home so it will make me feel like I’ve been there :-)

Congrats to you both! We love you.

The “Life Lately” List: May 14, 2012

Here is the short list of what has been going on here lately at Bethany & Dan Photography:

  1. We finally got to photograph our first wedding of the year: Dane and Michelle in Virginia Beach, VA. I can’t even being to tell you how great it felt to be out there photographing weddings again. We prepare for it all year long and then finally I get to walk in the room where the Bride is getting ready to marry the love of her life. It’s one of my favorite feelings in the world.
  2. I cleaned out the basement. HEAR ME ROAR!! I felt like a rockstar down there getting that place organized and sorted through. Dan and I have 2 surfboards, one bike (2 helmets), 2 hula hoops (made by me), 7 paddles, 1 fishing pole, 2 tents, 4 backpacking backpacks, 6 stoves, 4 sleeping bags and all the details that go along with all those tools. We should probably go camping soon. What do you think?
  3. I toyed with cutting my hair short. I really wanted to because I knew it would feel so fresh! Then I braided my long locks into a side fishtail braid and put my nose ring back in and felt great and fresh just the same. I think I will stick to long for now. I mean if its good with Katniss Everdeen, it’s good with me.
  4. Dan has been surfing a couple of times already this summer, even though the beach is almost an hour away. It pains me that we live to far from the seashore. Honestly, being on the sand with my hair blowing in the wind is what makes me feel like me. We need to get closer to the seashore. I want my man to be able to surf everyday and I want to be able to run down to the sand with a bottle of wine in the evening and just take in what the Creator made for me.

Info for Brides: Boys in your wedding

Flower girls are precious and have a very distinct role on the wedding processional. Your little niece is perfect for the job. Ring bearers have a pretty perfect and well defined role in the wedding too. Toddlers and little boys who are relatively young can fill this role like champs. What do you do with your 12 year old nephew though? Sometimes couples want to incorporate older boys into their ceremonies but don’t know which role they can fill. At Dane and Michelle’s wedding, they came up with a pretty great idea for the non-ring bearer types. They had the boys carry a sign that said “Here Comes the Bride.” How great is that? At Sarah and Brandon’s wedding last year, they had a little one do a reading during the ceremony which was adorable I have to say. At our wedding, we had Dan’s brother who was 12 at the time, carry in our wine and glasses for communion between Dan and I during the ceremony. Kate Middleton had pageboys. The Princess Elizabeth had them carry her veil. Nowadays there are really no rules so if you think of something, you can do it.

For more ideas, head over to my “For my Brides” Pinterest Board.
