Rescued Wanderer Photography I’m Destiny with Rescued Wanderer: Family + Wedding Photography that is Real, True, & Beautiful. Book me and Let’s Create Something Beautiful!

THE WANDERER BEHIND THE LENS
My name is Destiny Bates, and first and foremost, I am a daughter of the Most High, a wife to my beloved husband named Christian, and a mother of two beautiful girls named Merci and Melody and two handsome sons, Judah and Josiah. Being a wife and a mother is the GREATEST treasure to me and there is nothing I love more than serving my family. Serving and loving others i

s what believers are called to do therefore, one of my greatest passions is capturing moments in time for others to cherish for the rest of their lives! Being a part of the joy and beauty of a Wedding day, the excitement and love during an engagement session or bringing LIFE into this world, is such an honor and I take it with great pride! My mission and approach in Photography is creating an experience for you through capturing those natural, authentic, REAL moments. I want my Bride’s and Groom’s to leave their sessions like they just had the best date night EVER! I want them to receive beautiful, quality photos, but also during their session, be able to feel WHY they love one another and WHY they are committing their lives to one another in that moment. When my clients receive their galleries, I want them to see a photo and remember what they were feeling in that exact moment it was captured! Whether you’re holding your freshly newborn son, finally married to your SOULMATE or celebrating 50 wonderful years of Marriage, I am here to tell your story and give you an experience that comes with capturing those moments! I want my clients to feel more than just a client, but rather, a close friend and for you to feel relaxed and comfortable during our photography sessions. I strive to serve and love you with the love of Jesus, as He is the One who grants us life and joy. It would be my privilege to have the opportunity to capture your life's precious moments, so that you can have photographs that you can be proud of, cherish, and pass down for generations to come.

Hi everyone!

I’m officially heading into my busiest time of year, which means now is the perfect time to book your Fall & Winter sessions! 💛🤍

I’ll be offering Fall Minis again this year, and I’ll be releasing all the details tomorrow! 🍁 I’m also considering bringing back my Christmas Minis, so stay tuned! 🎄

I’ll have very limited session dates available throughout the “Ber” months, so if you’re hoping to get updated family photos, Christmas cards, or those beautiful Fall/Winter memories captured, now is the time to reach out so we can get you booked!

I can’t wait to see all of you this season and continue capturing your most precious moments! 📸
