"nelson beam has been nothing but a delight to have as our photographer from our wedding day to graduation pictures! we are always so excited to see the final results and we have always been more than happy with how good they turn out! Nelson Beam Photography is the way to go for laid back yet professional photography that will always leave you saying 'wow?'"

Kristen & Graham, 2020

“Nelson has become our go-to family photographer—he’s flexible and laid-back, but brings his artistic eye to all of his photos. He’s taken our pregnancy announcement and first family photos, and we can’t wait to have him capture our life for years to come!”

Karstyn & TJ, 2020

"We had the pleasure of spending about an hour with Nelson on the Beach for couples and family portraits. Nelson was personable, professional, and had a few tricks up his sleeve to get some natural smiles and fun shots! If you're looking for a photographer, Nelson is your guy!"

Amber & Thomas, 2020

The Leonard's, 2020

"We have known Nelson for years now and have watched him grow into the photographer he is today. He is always willing to take any shots we want, is very professional, and creates beautiful work. We can’t wait to have him capture our family again and  see where this passion takes him in the future!"

Frequently asked

The simple answer is no. I will never give out any RAW files. A RAW file is an simply an incomplete file and I will never deliver an unfinished product to anyone. 

Most of my wedding packages offer a second photographer. Personally I don't like to photograph a wedding without one. They offer another perspective and give you even more of a variety. 

Do you require payment to book a Session/Date in your calendar?

Do you offer Prints/Albums?

What is the turnaround time for photo DELIVERY and how do we RECEIVE our photos?

Do you have a second shooter/Photo Assistant?

Do you give us all of the files, even the unedited RAW files?

Are you willing to travel?

Questions

Of course! I am always ready to pack a bag, throw it in the bag of the Jeep to hit the road, Where are we going? Mountains? The coast? Another country across the globe? I am based in Lexington, North Carolina. So I am about 2 hours from the Appalachian Mountains and about 4 hours from the NC coast. If your session/wedding requires traveling more than 50 miles additional charges may apply based on location and normal travel expenses, such as plane ticket and hotel room.

Yes! I require at a 25% non-refundable retainer and a signed contract to officially lock in your date and take it off my calendar. With this being said, I am first come first serve. So if you want a specific date and time, it's best to go on ahead and book before someone else does.

This is one of my favorite questions! Yes I do! I am a firm believer that photos are meant to be printed. Whether it is hung on the wall above the fireplace or in an album on the bookshelf. There's just something about having photos professionally printed and holding them in your hands where you can truly see them in all of their glory. Cause 20-30 years from now when your kids or grandkids are grown, do you want them pulling out an old cell phone that doesn't work or a beautiful album to show them memories of from your life? 

You can expect portraits to take 2 - 3 weeks and weddings anywhere from 4-6 weeks. All sessions and weddings are delivered through an online gallery where your photos can be downloaded and prints can be ordered! It's simple, trust me!
