Bethany is amazing! My husband and I aren’t super camera-comfortable, but she made us feel so at ease throughout the entire wedding day. She has a calm, professional, friendly and ...
incredibly thoughtful presence and made me feel very taken care of (even when other things were running a bit behind schedule!) Highly recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a wedding or engagement photographer!
We had such an amazing experience working with Bethany as our wedding photographer. She was incredibly talented and so much fun to work with. From start to finish, she made everyth...
ing feel effortless and joyful. Bethany went above and beyond to capture every special moment perfectly, whether she was knee-deep in ferns to get the perfect shot, pulling out weeds that were in the way, or even drying wet seats with her own dress to keep things just right.
My husband and I kept saying how wonderful she was, and several guests also mentioned how much they appreciated her energy and professionalism. The direction she gave felt so easy and natural, which is something I know every couple wants: to feel relaxed and not stiff during their photos. Bethany has a special skill and presence that allows everyone to feel calm and beautiful in front of the camera.
We can’t wait to see the photos because we know they’ll be absolutely stunning. We highly recommend Bethany to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares and delivers beautiful results. If you want a talented photographer who, by the end of the night, feels more like a guest because of the amazing energy they bring, Bethany is the perfect choice!
Bethany was an absolute joy to work with. We had the pleasure of working with her for our engagement photos as well as our wedding day. From the moment we met, we were instantly co...
mfortable with Bethany and she made our time together fly by. Bethany captured SO many moments - both seen and unseen by us throughout the wedding day. Our photos are stunning and we're so happy with how they turned out. Months later, we still look at our photo gallery at least once a week! We cannot recommend Bethany enough, she was one of the best decisions we made wedding planning!
Working with Bethany was an amazing experience! We started with her when she took our engagement photos and knew she would be the only person we would want to photograph our weddin...
g. Her attention to detail is incredible, but even more impressive was her skill in managing people! She professionally but effectively directed many different groupings of people to get the right shots. From candids to portraits to wedding party and family arrangements, Bethany rocked it. We would definitely recommend her!
Bethany did a fabulous job on our wedding and engagement photos! I was nervous that having someone taking our pictures would be awkward, but Bethany made everything fun and relaxed...
. All of my worries disappeared because she was so easygoing and walked us through everything. She knows what she’s doing, and the photos turned out fantastic, even though it rained! Also, if you have a wedding party that likes to wander like ours, she literally knows how to herd chickens and can help get the rogue wedding party members back in place! As a bonus, her prices are very reasonable. Thank you, Bethany, for capturing our wedding so we can always look back at the special day it was!
Bethany is an absolute joy to work with. She is a highly experienced and tremendously talented photographer. She was super communicative and reliable all throughout our engagement ...
and wedding planning; happy to answer questions and made us feel comfortable and confident that our photos would reflect not only the visual details, but a complete narrative of the mood and feelings throughout our day. Check out her insta to get a feel for the her style, her photos are rich and vibrant and timeless. Her contract was clear and straightforward and we really appreciated her flexibility, transparency, and professionalism. She really became invested in our love story and I can’t recommend enough doing an engagement session with her prior to your wedding day. That session really helped us get to know each other and you can see in our photo gallery how well she captured our personalities and how cohesively and beautifully she documented our wedding day from start to finish. She’s like a ninja, covering every angle and detail without needing a second shooter, it’s really incredible. She was super open to any and all ideas, but also provided us with prompts and poses to make us feel natural and look our very best. I still cry as I look through our breathtaking photos because it brings the day back so vividly and I will forever treasure these photos as a keepsake of the best day of my life!
Bethany is an absolute expert at what she does, and truly a delight to work with. She can organized people for pictures quickly and effectively and you can't help but love her. Bet...
hany is also so creative and will try fun things so your photos are unique. All of my pictures (she did our wedding and engagement photos) feel so genuine to who my husband and I are, and are also so naturally beautiful. She doesn't use weird filters that dull pictures. So many wedding photographers do that these days. Bethany's pictures look bright and natural. She's amazing with using natural light. 10/10 I highly recommend. She is who I ALWAYS recommend to folks and everyone is always in love with her photos she takes!
Choosing a photographer was my #1 priority when picking vendors for our wedding, and Bethany was 100% the right choice. From our initial conversation to delivering our gallery with...
great turn-around time, Bethany was friendly, genuine, professional, and answered my many questions with ease. Bethany accommodated all my requests and helped us every step of the way with posing and timing, all while making it fun instead of awkward!
Bethany’s editing style is initially what drew me in, with vibrant rich colors, and she did not disappoint.
Looking at our wedding gallery, every moment and detail was captured. Bethany truly works her butt off to be everywhere, and makes it seem effortless.
We are so glad we chose to trust Bethany on our special day, and have the most perfect pictures to look back on.
Bethany is one of the most kind, compassionate, caring people I’ve worked with and to top it all off, she’s an AMAZING photographer! When it came to planning my wedding I knew I wa...
nted to invest in my photographer because that’s what you look back on: pictures. My parents unfortunately only have a handful of photos from their wedding due to an error in loading the film so finding the perfect photographer was paramount. Bethany was professional, flexible, easy to communicate with, and provided us with the most breathtaking photos that I know I will love for many years to come.
Bethany is amazing! As a bride during COVID flexibility and creativity is a must. She's very easy to work with, flexible with schedules and locations, and will not force you to do ...
poses that you're uncomfortable with. She tries to make everything as natural as possible. I had a winter wedding and did not hesitate to take pictures out in the cold! Definitely recommend for both wedding and engagement photos!
Bethany was so great to work with! We had a very small ceremony due to the pandemic and it was very important to us to have photos we loved to share with friends and family who wer...
e not able to be there. Bethany captured all the important moments and went above and beyond to create stunning images that we will treasure forever. She is very easy to work with and helps you get through poses quickly to make sure you get the shots you want, all while creating a super comfortable atmosphere. We would definitely recommend her. Thanks again, Bethany!
We were so lucky to have Bethany as both our engagement and wedding photographer. Her adventurous spirit means she is up for anything. We ventured out in the middle of a blizzard f...
or the perfect winter engagement photos. As COVID hit, she was very flexible with plans and easily adapted to our needs. One thing that truly stands out about Bethany is her efficiency. She will not waste your time and will keep things moving to get some great shots. In the end, we have some stunning photos we can't wait to display!
I have an endless number of amazing things to say about Bethany. I felt like we clicked from the first meeting and the end result was breathtaking. She made the bride and groom fee...
l super comfortable while we took photos, she was flexible and so kind during some COVID related replanning, and overall just a joy to work with. We will treasure her work for our whole lives and we can't thank her enough - absolutely recommend!

n more! She is professional, extremely talented at her craft, and FUN!! The photos are absolutely stunning and Bethany's work with my husband and I, as well as our family, was exactly what we needed and wanted. I believe photography is not something to skimp on for your wedding and because of that, I would (and do) recommend her to anyone!

osphere! I love her editing style that really captures the natural feel of day and is not overdone. She was thorough, on-time, and very professional which let me totally relax and be present on my wedding day!
Would HIGHLY recommend!
I had seen Bethany's unique style expressed in her photography long before I had a need for a photographer. I remember vividly telling her that if I ever got remarried (widowed 20...
16) I would want her to be my photographer! We shared a "what if?!?!" kind of moment and then continued with our life. Then I met my encore love (also a widow). When we started talking marriage, I knew who to call to capture our wedding day in photos. Bethany Jackson Photography was my first and only choice. When we met with Bethany, she was candid with us saying that she loves to be the wedding photographer for people she connects with. We were thrilled she connected with us because she did NOT disappoint! She captured the intangible in our situation; love after loss. What a gift she has to be able to peal back the layers of the people she works with and zero in on the essence of the joy of the day. We had a semi private event with close family and friends. Bethany blended in with her easy going, professional style. In a short amount of time, she captured our love, our commitment, our family and our personality on film. Now we have over 400 beautifully edited photos that have become a treasure already. We would highly recommend Bethany Jackson Photography for your partner to capture your love and your day!
Bethany is amazing. It's hard to put into words how extraordinarily pleased I am with her work. Booking a photographer can be scary because you're putting really special memories i...
n their hands, but I can assure you that Bethany Jackson Photography does not disappoint. Her photos are crisp, beautifully edited, and working with her is SO easy. She's genuinely fun to have around and very helpful when it comes to positioning and capturing shots from such unique and captivating angles. She is thorough in answering questions, highly attentive throughout the day, and so wonderful in her follow through with delivering the photos. She's the full package; I can't recommend her enough! I'm beyond happy I chose her.
