Beth Bowman Knoxville and Maryville Wedding and Boudoir Photographer

Hey Folks!  I’m Beth!

A couple of years ago, my husband, our (at the time) one-year-old daughter, and I sold our house and all our belongings to travel around the United States in a camper. It was seriously life changing. It planted in me a deep love of our national parks and wild places--a love of travel and the need to tell our story. To create an intentional life.  

For now, we’ve settled down in the heart of the Smoky Mountains, in Maryville, Tennessee. I love riding motorcycles through the national forests, exploring the local creeks and rivers with my daughter, and sitting on our porch with my handsome redhead in the evenings with a good dark beer. I always start my mornings with coffee, hopefully some yoga, and gratitude. And I LOVE food. All food. Especially guacamole, tacos, pizza, sushi, umm, yeah, all of it.  

My Method

I specialize in boudoir, portraits, intimate weddings, elopements, and destination weddings. My clients share my heart for adventure and travel. I thrive on authentic moments. Worried about your awkward head back laugh? Pull up a chair, my friend, because you’ve found your people. My style is romantic, creative, and genuine. I believe in getting out in the rain, taking risks, sleeping with the windows open, and brave love stories. I would LOVE to tell yours, whether that’s self love or the love of your life, but first let’s see if we are a good fit.  

I’m not about stiff poses and flashes. I’m about interaction, emotion, and giving you the best experience. I want to capture your best laughs and true love in natural light, just the way you are. I want you to come nervous and leave pumped—and maybe with us being best friends. I want you to know that I value your experience and your story above anything else. If you are looking for any photographer with a camera to take your photos, I’m not your lady. No worries! I’m passionate about my clients, and I pour myself into our work together. I want us to connect, jive, laugh, and get to know each other. I want you to trust me and have a blast doing it.  

I’m a photographer for the explorers, the wild, the deeply passionate,  the awkward, the folks who don’t mind getting out in the rain, sharing a hilarious “bad word” or two, who are ready to get up at sunrise or sneak out for a slow dance under the stars. Who don’t mind getting wet or dirty and know that theses moments are the start of the next part of their story and their adventure. I believe by sharing our stories we are connected. I believe that we can draw strength from our stories years down the road when shit gets hard. I believe that love is the only true adventure.  

Think we'd be a good fit?  Drop me a line and let me know what I can do for you!
