MEET Beth

Owner & Primary Photographer

After working in New York City for six years alongside fashion, advertising and commercial photographers, I moved to Newport, Rhode Island and started Ludwig Photography in 1996.

With more than 30 years of experience photographing weddings, engagements and portraits, I can honestly say I still love what I do. I adore capturing the special moments—the big ones, the little ones, and all the unexpected moments in between.

My style is simple, relaxed and timeless. I love natural light, genuine emotion and the unique details that make every wedding and family special. My goal is to create beautiful, authentic photographs that you will cherish for generations.

When I'm not behind the camera

you'll usually find me at the beach, playing tennis at the Tennis Hall of Fame, taking a hot yoga class, or spending time with my family. I live in Newport with my husband and love when our three grown children, whom we are incredibly proud of, come home for a visit.

I feel incredibly lucky to have built a career doing what I love and to be invited into so many of life's most meaningful moments.

It truly is the best job in the world.

MEET Lisa

Ludwig Photography Associate Photographer

Lisa has been an important part of the Ludwig Photography team for more than 10 years and has been photographing weddings for 25 years. Over the years, she has become someone I trust completely and an integral part of how I photograph a wedding.

When Lisa is not behind the camera

she’s most likely relaxing at the beach, heading out for a long walk, getting in a workout at the gym, or spending quality time with her husband and two daughters.

Lisa will be behind the camera capturing your wedding day, while I personally manage the logistics, organize your shot list and curate your final gallery. Your images are professionally edited under my creative direction, ensuring they meet the Ludwig Photography standard.

You get the best of both worlds: Lisa's experience behind the camera and my creative oversight from start to finish.

The Ludwig Photography Experience

When you choose Ludwig Photography, you are choosing my artistic vision, experience and commitment to creating beautiful, timeless photographs.

I work with a select group of experienced photographers as my second shooters who understand my style and know how to complement my approach. Together, we capture not only the important moments, but the emotion, details and unexpected moments that tell the complete story of your wedding day.

As the reception unfolds, my second shooter will take over the candid coverage of the evening, continuing to capture the celebration through the end of the night.

Whether I am your lead photographer or Lisa is photographing your wedding as my Associate, you receive the Ludwig Photography experience—from the way your day is photographed to the way your images are professionally edited and curated.
