Bethany and John were such a joy to work with! From the moment they arrived, they felt like an extension of our family — warm, friendly, and so easy to be around. We had 20 kids at...
our wedding, and they handled the chaos with total grace and good humor. Their calm energy kept everyone smiling and relaxed. We can’t wait to see our photos — if they’re anything like our engagement session, they’ll be absolutely stunning. Thank you both for capturing our day so beautifully and making the experience so much fun!
I can't even begin to express how in awe I am of our wedding day photos. Bethany and John have beautifully captured one of me and my husband's core memories. Our photos are light, ...
dreamy, radiant and colorful - candid, posed and fun, at all the best and most flattering angles - everything I was looking for when searching for a photography team. At a personal level, Bethany and John are the most kind hearted souls. We felt so comfortable with them, cared for, and looked out after. For example, we had some family members try to input themselves into what was supposed to be me and my husband's special moments, and John and Bethany politely stepped in and took care of it, with grace and confidence. I so appreciated John for paying close attention to details - he would fix a fly away hair, ask me to sit up a little straighter, or adjust my arm in a more flattering way. The both of them can just so wonderfully read a room and the people in it. I never had to ask them of anything, they can just sense and spot a special moment. Bethany is so organized and her timeline, ideas, and plan were so carefully and thoughtfully played out! For someone who can be quite meticulous and analytical times, I'm as happy as can be and overly satisfied.. We now have the most beautiful engagement session photos and wedding day photos I could have ever asked for. We can't wait for family photos with Bethjoy when we add a little one to our lives! Thank you Bethany and John, for the best keepsakes, and for being you!
We found Beth Joy Photography before we actually even picked a venue and wedding date because I knew I wanted her and her husband to take our wedding/engagement photos! So much so ...
that we made sure our wedding venue/date coordinated with their calendar before booking it.
I cannot express to you how incredibly lucky we feel to have had our pictures taken by them. Of course the way they softly edit photos while bringing the color and brightness to life won us over initially, but the communication, timely turn around, the way they made us feel comfortable in front of the camera, their helpfulness, dependency, organization, and genuine kindness, are just some of the many other reasons we would recommend them to everyone!
You truly won't be disappointed and I am sure you will love your pictures and experience with them just as much as we did!
I cannot say enough amazing things about Beth Joy Photography! First of all, they are the sweetest couple you have ever met. Secondly, they went above and beyond when Beth got preg...
nant and was due right around our wedding date by securing a backup photographer. She still edited our photos as well. They came out absolutely stunning and were everything I dreamed of! Highly highly recommend :D
We hired Bethany and John for our Welcome Party & Disney Wedding in December 2022. They were both incredible!! They made us feel very comfortable and they worked so well together...
as a team to capture the most amazing moments from our wedding. We are SO happy with our wedding photos and would absolutely recommend using Beth Joy Photography!

Bethany and John are the absolute best photographers. My wedding date was September 3rd, 2022 and I swear it was the hottest day of the year, but they were absolute troopers and sh...
ot through the heat and knew exactly what to do to capture the perfect shots. They communicated effectively and efficiently throughout the process. They make you feel comfortable especially when you are not used to being behind the camera. When I got any photo back from them I was an absolute awe on how could the photos look like they were right out of a magazine or a movie, just perfection. Their photos are light and airy and classic. You will not regret making them your photographers. I will cherish my photos forever !
Beth and John were the most amazing photographers you could ask for. They made everyone feel so comfortable and we are truly obsessed with our photos. I cannot believe how quick we...
got our photos back. I would recommend them to every single person I meet!!
When we began wedding planning, finding a great photography team was at the top of our to-do list. From the first conversation with them, we knew they were exactly the people we w...
ere looking for. Rather than feeling like an interview or sales pitch, we got to know one another to ensure we were a good match for them and them for us. This really made as feel as though we were not just another client on the list, but rather a couple whose love story Beth and John were enthusiastic about capturing.
We had the unique experience of having Beth and John capture our engagement shoot over 2,200 miles away in Arches National Park, Utah. Let us start by saying that Beth and John are absolute LEGENDS as they hiked in 30 degree weather through Arches National Park to shoot us at 6AM for the ultimate sunrise photos. They were even more ready to adventure than we were AND the photos came out * S T U N N I N G *. They directed us every step of the way and helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, even despite the glares of some grumpy morning tourists.
Fast forward one year to our wedding, and Beth and John came through once again like no one else could--with of course, the beautiful photos, but also the preparedness and professionalism that is so necessary on your wedding day. From getting ready photos to family group photos to our golden hour photos, they captured every photo we could've asked for & more. They went above and beyond! For example, Beth and John scoured our hotel grounds to find the most cinematic angle of the Downtown St. Pete skyline for the backdrop of our first look. They have a great eye and are true artists. They jumped from towering natural landscapes to downtown cityscapes without missing a beat, capturing the beauty of the diverse settings we requested.
As our wedding day progressed, the timeline prepared by Beth and John was lifesaving. If we were ever off-schedule, we weren't made aware of it as Beth and John practiced such professionalism that prevented us from experiencing any stress on our big day. They made sure to capture all of our intimate moments without distracting from the emotion of the day.
Bottom line is Beth and John were such a critical part of our engagement and our wedding. When looking for a photographer, we wanted someone who made us feel comfortable (kissing in public can be strange), guided us for the best shots, and captured the raw emotion of our relationship. Beth and John have mastered these skills, and have all the best qualities that you hope to surround yourself with on your wedding day--patience, enthusiasm, and organization. We couldn't be more thankful for their kindness, professionalism, and artistry. We know we will be bragging about them for years to come and showing their pictures to our grandchildren someday.
I can’t even put into words how thankful I am for Bethany and John. They do such amazing work and captured our day perfectly. From the very first call we had with them I knew they ...
were going to be great. They are so organized!!! They helped us figure out our engagement photos and even gave ideas on what to wear. They helped us with our wedding day timeline and made sure to fit in all of the photos (and more!) that we wanted. They made us feel so comfortable. Multiple guests reached out to us to tell us how great they thought our photographers were - even before we got any photos back! We absolutely LOVE everything about our experience with Bethany and John!
We could not be happier that we used Bethjoyphotography for our wedding and we ngagwment photos. We were so blown away by their talent and professionalism. Our pictures were absolu...

Beyond being incredibly talented and easy to work with, they are also some of the kindest people we have ever met. My husband and I wish they lived closer to us because we honestly would love to be best friends with them.
The photos speak for themselves- they are dreamy, romantic, and authentic. We loved every second of working with Beth Joy, and they were the easiest and most professional vendors of our entire wedding. Thank you so much to Beth and John for capturing our love and our wedding perfectly!

on. She went out of her way to bring along her own props to help make our photos look more magical like a pretty ring box and things like that for our detail photos. She was also very on top of things and made sure to get all of the photographs we wanted. I absolutely recommend them. If you want magical wedding photos, you should definitely book Beth Joy Photography!
PERFECTION. Not only do Bethany and John take the most beautiful photos, but they are also two of the most kind and likable people you will ever meet. I can’t put into words how th...
rilled I am with them and how thankful I am for the photos that they gave us (how many photos are too many to hang up in your house? I’m about to find out). Not to mention, they were also incredibly helpful and generous when we had to postpone our wedding due to covid. Book them ASAP- it’s the best decision you’ll make for your wedding!
This dynamic duo is what you NEED & WANT for your wedding day. Bethany and John captured every emotion we all felt on our wedding day. You can feel the disney magic within their ...

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! We were so impressed with Bethany, John, and the amazing work they do. From the start, they made the planning proces...
s so easy and answered any and all questions we had. Our engagement session was so much fun and the perfect prep for our big day. They truly make you feel so comfortable! We ended up having to change our wedding venue one month before our date due to covid restrictions and they made the transition so seamless (Bethany even helped me create a new wedding timeline last minute!) Our photos came back even better than we could have imagined. Highly recommend using Beth Joy Photography for your big day!
We genuinely enjoyed sharing our special day with Bethany and John! I have only great things to say about them. They are amazing photographers!!!!! They captured the wedding in the...
most beautiful way, and it was more than what we could have ever asked for. On top of this, they are the most pleasant guests, they go out of their way to help and when they're with you in the early parts of wedding prep, they feel like family who just mean to help out and share your goal of making the day your most special one yet. Thank you guys! We're grateful we gained two wonderful friends (who are pretty darn good at what they do) when we booked them as our wedding photographers.
Beth Joy Photography were AMAZING! Extremely professional but personable. They made the photo shoot a very fun experience! I would highly recommend them and plan on using them for ...
any professional photos in the future
If you’re still searching for a photographer, you should stop now!! Beth & John are an absolute dream. Not only are they the sweetest people ever, they take the most beautiful phot...
os and truly want everything to be perfect for you on your big day. We had our engagement shoot with them as well as our wedding photos in October 2020. We are more than thrilled with our photos. They don’t just take a picture- they really capture the moment and have the most beautiful way of doing it. They make you feel so comfortable, help you break though any awkwardness you may feel, and are totally open to taking any poses/doing any ideas you may have. They are also open to traveling which is amazing!! We truly love Beth & John and consider them friends now. You will not be disappointed with them!!
BOOK THEM! RIGHT NOW! We searched through so many photographers who were all talented but we wanted someone that could capture a moment - a memory - not just “a picture”. To where ...
you can feel the photos and the love that is in them. As soon as i saw Beth Joy it was it for me. Not only are they THE most talented, their photos are absolutely stunning and speak for themself but they are such amazing people and made us feel SO comfortable which was huge for me, it genuinely feels like friends hanging out. Best decision we made by far for our big day!

We can't imagine our wedding without Beth and John! We ended up having to plan four weddings and with each new date, we first checked that our parents could make it, and then our ...
next call was to Beth and John. With all the craziness of 2020, they were right by our side (even sending a gift basket when our original wedding was cancelled!). They helped us plan all the new dates, navigated a few venue changes, and ultimately helped us plan our dream wedding with 6 weeks notice. Not only do they show up for you on the day of the wedding, but they also put so much work in ahead of time to ensure the day runs smoothly.
I always knew they were the perfect choice, but on our wedding night it was confirmed when all of our friends kept coming up to us telling us how fun and perfect Beth and John are! I would definitely consider them friends instead of vendors; we will cherish their work for forever. It's true that on your wedding day you spend more time with your photographers than most of your guests and we are forever grateful that they helped make our day as perfect as it was!
Bethany & John are incredible photographers. After they shot our dream engagement session in Disney, I knew they would be part of our wedding day. They are so professional and tale...
nted, not to mention, the sweetest couple you'll ever meet! Their passion for their work truly shines. They perfectly captured the 2 most important events in our life thus far and we will treasure their work forever.
Beth and John are fantastic photographers and people. I found Beth Joy Photography through instagram, what really got me to contact Beth was their Walt Disney World photos. Once g...
etting in contact it felt so natural talking to Beth and John and after this experience I definitely feel like my Husband and I created friends and not just wedding vendors in the end. We had our engagement photos with them at Disney and they eased our minds with the whole session. They knew both of us were so nervous and walked both my husband and I through the whole thing and the photos were amazing. Throughout the wedding process they made me feel at ease and I was able to ask them anything. I 100% so glad I found Beth and hired them for our wedding. I have not even seen all the photos and I am still amazed at their skills and what they captured for both our engagement and wedding photos. I cant stress enough how happy I am to have hired them.
Oh my gosh where do I even begin, Beth and John are truly amazing. My fiance and I wanted to do engagement photos in disney. I was able to go find them on Instagram and immediately...
fell in love with the work they do. I felt warmth coming from their first response right away. We scheduled a time to meet in disney and she was very prompt and sent me all the details immediately. Before our engagement shoot, I was pretty nervous, once we started I was immediately comfortable. They made us have fun and laugh. We as a couple felt that we could truly be ourselves and they were able to capture that in the photos. Not only were we in a place where we loved, with ones we loved but it was being photographed. We just received the photos back today and I honestly have no words, they are just perfect!!!!I couldn't recommend Beth and John more. If you want amazing photographers hire these precious peaches you will not regret it. Thank you again for making our engagement shoot full of magic.
Beth Joy Photography was by far the best decision we made when it came to wedding planning. I looked at a zillion different photographers, and couldn’t be happier that we booked wi...
th them! They made the entire planning process so much easier and were always available to answer my many questions. They were so warm & friendly, and were even more amazing to work with in person when we met them for our engagement session. When it came to the wedding day, they were on the ball and were literally everywhere to capture every single moment. I had so many of our guests tell me how great our photographers were, and our photos are just extra proof of that. Their work is gorgeous, and attention to detail is spot on! They were by far my favorite vendor we booked for our wedding, although it feels silly calling them vendors when they feel more like friends. We are so glad they were there to capture our special day, and we would book them again in a heartbeat!

Bethany and John are such a genuine pair and we will forever recommend them =).

t to what you need. I had some issues my coordinator at the wedding. They gave me time when I needed it and moved things along quickly when I felt pinched for time. They also took on some of the coordinator responsibilities that were dropped - literally doing everything to make sure the day went as smoothly as possible. And, of course, the photos are stunning - I’ve received so many compliments! I would recommend them over and over and over. Worth every single penny!!

John and Bethany are the perfect husband and wife photography duo for your special day! I couldn't have asked for a better couple to capture my husband and I's most memorable day. ...
I knew I wanted this couple to shoot my pictures even before I was engaged. Their images capture your eyes and also your heart. From the beautiful engagement photo shoot, to our dream wedding pictures! I honestly do not have enough room in my house to put up all the photos!!! (Currently telling my husband we need a bigger house to display all the beautiful pictures) They are so easy going, down to earth, and make you feel so comfortable! As a type A bride, I had no problem giving them total control and letting them have the reigns! They are two of the most beautiful, artistic, loving people! They genuinely care about you and your partner and will guarantee they get the best photos! 10/10 Well done!!! Love you guys!!! <3
Beth and John are amazing! I was trying to find a last minute photographer even though I had small intimate wedding we wanted pictures. Beth and John booked me 2 weeks before and w...
orked with my budget! They were even able to give location suggestions for the Linda of shots I wanted. They were so sweet and nice! And PUNCTUAL which is a huge win from me! My photos turned out phenomenal and were done in 2 weeks (we didn’t get married during the busy wedding season). There was a wide selection of photos, some edited with the originals still available as well! Obtaining the pics was easy as well! If we ever plan our big wedding like we want I will definitely REBOOK!
Bethany and John were absolutely amazing! I can’t tell you enough how much I recommend Beth Joy Photography!! On top of being the sweetest couples ever, their talent is out of this...
world! They both helped me out with my timeline for the day, which took a lot of stress off of me and made things run sooo smoothly! They’re both supportive and never made me feel rushed, and I loved that John took care of photographing the boys getting ready (and even drove my husband to the venue after pictures! So sweet!! ) and Bethany took care of the ladies. Throughout the evening, I didn’t even know they were there as I went through the motions of the night, yet they managed to capture the most special moments that I wouldn’t have known about...right down to the detail. Love these two, and I love the beautiful memories that they captured for my husband and I to cherish for the rest of our lives ❤️
Beth Joy Photography was my favorite vendor to work with! They made the entire wedding planning process so much easier and less stressful (not to mention they are the nicest people...
ever!). They did both our engagement and wedding photos. For the engagement shoot, they let us get create and take them on our boat to get photos somewhere that was special to us. All of our photos were edited so beautifully and came out exactly as we had hoped. If you're going to invest in anything for your wedding, your photos should be it! Thank you SO much Beth and John for capturing our wedding and giving us such a beautiful way to remember our day.
Absolutely love them! My husband, Jeff and I are so happy that we chose Beth Joy Photography to capture our wedding! From the moment we met Beth & John, we knew we wanted them not ...

Bethany and John were so wonderful to work with. From the first conversation, throughout the planning process and on the day of our wedding they were always so incredibly helpful,...
kind, supportive and knowledgeable. And it wasn't just for photography - she was also kind enough to help me find other vendors, provide feedback on planning, timeline and more. On our wedding day they made us feel so comfortable and at the same time it felt like we barely saw them - they were so good at being in the background while still getting amazing shots. We love how our pictures turned out - my parents can't stop raving about them. We would recommend Bethany and John without hesitation - they are an absolute joy and incredible team!
