DOLA Photography

wedding day, but she didn't complain once. She still had fantastic ideas of places we could take photos, and even stood out in the rain for hours (with no hood or umbrella!) to capture the perfect shots and angles. Her excitement over her photo ideas helped to make our rainy wedding day so much more enjoyable. It was no shock that our rainy wedding photos still came out stunning, due to her dedication to capturing such memorable moments for her clients.

of our Dog of Honor (something I would have thought was impossible). Her extensive knowledge of our venue went a long way in snagging shots at all of the best locations. In a weird year with little else to look back at, Bethany gave us the greatest gift in flawless wedding photos to help us relive the best night of 2020!

ured our day perfectly and we couldn't be happier with the final product!

about how she works and looking at her work, I knew she would be prefect for us. Bethany did a fabulous job working with our large wedding party, creating beautiful posed photos, and capturing priceless candid photos throughout the day and night. Choosing Bethany was one of the best and easiest decision we made throughout the planning process and we will cherish her beautiful photos of our perfect day forever!!

ven brought to tears! -- because of how Bethany was able to capture the spirit of the day. The pictures still bring us so much joy. Apart from the work product she delivered, Bethany guided us through so many decisions, even those unrelated to photography; was kind and funny and flexible; and made us -- two people who don't *love* having our photo taken -- feel so comfortable. Again, we really can't recommend her enough!

ocess.

g for a photographer, DOLA is the right choice.

photos that she curated for us. There was such a variety of posed portraits, candids, and still-lifes that we didn't even imagine (even though we looked at her portfolio extensively before hiring her, and were very impressed!). She exceeded our expectations, and was professional and communicative throughout the entire process. You will not be disappointed!

ng was in the Santa Cruz area. After booking her, we chatted on the phone about what were were looking for and filled out a questionnaire to finalize details, and she arranged to have a second photographer (local to CA) join for the day! Bethany arrived in CA a day early so she could scout out the venue for locations for different photos - it made our wedding day go so smoothly! She was really great to work with - very organized and flexible, and did a fantastic job of directing everyone for bridal party/family photos - outside of these posed photos, most of the photos were candid which I really loved. She also helped me pull off a T-Rex encounter/fake first look! I think she managed to get photos of every single on of our guests, and also took some beautiful shots of the venue, decorations, food, and some amazing golden hour photos! Finally, she sent us all our photos on stylish thumb drives in a beautiful keepsake box, and she offers some gorgeous options for albums, which she is willing to help design! We are so grateful we chose Bethany as our photographer, and will cherish our beautiful wedding photos forever. Thank you!!

ment shoot with her packages, which is a great chance to get to work with her before your wedding day. She is great to work with, and was so helpful to sort out the details of our day, scheduling, coordinating reception events with the DJ, etc.

we did in Philly, and she knew the best spots to shoot so our pictures came out beautifully. On our wedding day, she traveled all over our location to take pictures - you can tell she is willing to go the extra mile for her clients and her pictures are FANTASTIC. She is amazing and our wedding wouldn't be half as good without her pictures and her help. Thank you Bethany!

out in terms of quality and even more reasonable than several other photographers. Bethany is exceptionally talented in taking candid shots and capturing key moments with a professional eye for composition. She was very easy to work with and even calmed the only stressful part of the day when the forecast changed to rain an hour before our ceremony. It was a beautiful day captured wonderfully by Bethany and her assistant Dan. We can’t thank them enough!

tyle and personality. The package we selected included an engagement photo session, which I HIGHLY recommend doing - it gives you a chance to get comfortable in front of the camera, and an opportunity to get to know Bethany better. A week or two before the wedding, Bethany reached out to me about day-of schedule and details, and I so appreciated her proactiveness in this regard (as a bride at that point you feel crazy and disorganized, so it was nice to know she was on top of the details)! The day of our wedding, she even remembered to bring stamps for the invitation to photograph it in a more authentic way! This may not seem like a big deal but it's these little details that makes Bethany the best. We have over 900 beautiful photos from our day, and I would recommend DOLA Photography to ANY couple. Thank you Bethany and Dan!

rked with us to learn more about us, our families, our style, and our wedding day plans. She was genuinely interested in all of the tiny details which I didn’t truly understand until I saw our photographs. During our wedding Bethany captured not just all of the scheduled events (first dance, cake cutting…etc.) but also all of the tiny details that made our wedding unique and all of the impromptu moments I wouldn’t have seen or remembered. Her attention to detail when a million things are going on is really an amazing gift. She captured so many beautiful moments between my husband and I, our families, and our guests. As i was a bit of a nervous wreck on my wedding day (I don’t like attention and was extremely anxious!), I can’t express how happy I am that Bethany was our photographer. She was unbelievably professional, relaxed, and made us feel extremely comfortable. You can’t go wrong with DOLA Photography - their photographs are really stunning and Bethany captures timeless moments.

our wedding day. She has the best personality which helped us feel comfortable and relaxed! She listened to all our ideas and photos we wanted and capture each and every moment! Her work is truly amazing and she takes unique but elegant photos. She pays attention to all the details and emotions. We made the best decision choosing Bethany and we will be forever thankful. If you are searching for a wedding photographer, you should immediately contact Bethany! You will not be disappointed, trust me!! 

is perfection.

alm my concerns about wedding day timing – assuring me she’d get the photos I wanted – and she and her assistant, Dan, did exactly that and more! The day of our wedding she made things easy and fun for us, got every photo we wanted and more. She made both of us so comfortable in front of the camera. When it started raining she even came prepared with umbrellas and assured me rainy wedding day photos are beautiful – and she was RIGHT. She and Dan were fantastic during the festivities, blending in with guests, capturing some incredible candids. A couple times we'd just grab her and ask her to take a picture of us with certain guests and it was easy with her "go with the flow" style. After the wedding leading up to getting the final product, she periodically would check in to let me know how things were going with our photos, she gave us a sneak peak on her blog which made us so excited to get the final photos. Our photos are AMAZING, we were able to re-live so many moments through her beautiful work. We are so thankful that Dola Photography was with us to capture all the special moments!

's style and approach- especially all the candid shots she somehow pulls off! We were married 4 months ago and I still stare at my wedding pictures all the time and they bring back all the smiles, laughs and tears of that day. I cannot thank DOLA photography enough- the whole day, every moment was captured BEAUTIFULLY! And along the way Bethany was the easiest person to work with and she is one of the hardest working people I know. I've had endless compliments about the photos- how they offer something different and unique and show snapshots throughout every special moment and captured real emotions on people's faces. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!

ages to captures the shots as is she were front and center. DOLA Photography doesn't just take pictures, they capture the emotions, feelings, and beauty of the day so when you look back at your pictures you don't just see how pretty you looked that day, you see how much in love you are.

blended in with our guests and remained a fun and positive vibe with our wedding party and us the entire day. From the day we started planning the event with them to receiving our edited photos, we always felt comfortable, listened to, and like they were capturing our energy and essence as a couple and the excitement of our event. For a day that flies by so quickly it's really amazing to be able to look back at the day with a full 360 degree view and enjoy the moments we missed thanks to DOLA's amazing work. We will forever be grateful for their generous and professional work with us as a couple, and thank them for capturing who we really are and our incredible celebration. Hiring DOLA for your wedding means you get detailed, personalized, thorough coverage of your special day and we have complete trust and confidence in recommending them to anyone we know who is next to tie the knot!

s so they blended in to the crowd really well. On the Wedding day, Bethany was so great about getting all the necessary shots and keeping them all in order and keeping the line moving. She was great about really dictating the direction of the portraits and making sure everybody was in the photographs. While the portraits and family photos came out beautifully, the MOST beautiful pictures were the candid moments - a smile here, a smile there, a tear, laughter, a hug ... They really have a knack for that really special candid moment and capturing it at the right moment. The day of went by soooo blurringly fast that I didn't remember much of it. Going through the photos was like reliving each moment. They have been so good about communicating, before during and after, that I really had no issues or complaints. Honestly, they were a dream to work with and so very talented! You won't be disappointed.
