After weeks of searching, emailing, and bookings falling through, my husband came across Beth Joy Photography on Instagram. She was "new-ish" to the scene, within our price range, and her photos were lovely! We reached out and from then on it w...as a DREAM. Bethany and her husband John are SO talented and friendly. Working with them was literally the easiest part of my wedding planning. They were so flexible when we met for our engagement photos; my husband is *not a fan* of being in front of a camera, and this often comes across as him looking uncomfortable and unhappy in a photo. Bethany and John made us laugh and feel pretty and comfortable, and our photos turned out natural and perfect! I cannot express what a miracle that is. When it came time for the wedding, Bethany and John came to our city early and shot our rehearsal so they could get a feel for the church and ceremony. This was really helpful because they could touch base with the planner and make sure to be in the right spots, as our church was particular about where the photographers could be. It was so awesome of them to come early so we could all be ready for the big day! FINALLY, on our wedding day, these two were amazing. They got all the details, photos of both my husband and myself getting ready, and everything we wanted before the ceremony, even though the time crunch seemed crazy. The photos they took of our ceremony and the bridal party sessions are nothing short of breathtaking. The couple knows how to manage a crowd of excited people, take funny and cute group photos, and glamorous, loving couple portraits. They also captured our reception and guests so wonderfully, and even the late-night dancing photos look lovely! This couple is such a wonderful team; they communicate with each other so well and the outcome is just perfect. They are sweet, friendly, dedicated, flexible, responsive, easy to work with (and once you link them with your other vendors you don't have to worry about coordinating anything!) which is PRICELESS when you are planning a wedding. Then of course you get amazing photos within the promised time frame. We still can't decide which to print because there are SO MANY that we love. Also, Bethany has the couple prepare an outline with details that help her and John (what combination of family photos you want, what special items you'll have, what time to arrive at different locations, etc), but ultimately helps YOU with planning. I used her outline as a basis for my master timeline, and it helped me be sure I wasn't forgetting anything. It's so helpful. I cannot say enough good things about this team, and would recommend them to ANYONE and EVERYONE!
