Beth was great! Quick to respond and easy to work with. She did our engagement shoot and our wedding photos. We loved the results from both shoots and she did a great job with some tricky lighting in both cases.

With absolute certainty I can say that we could not have found a better photographer. From the photographers themselves, to the quality of the photos everything was exceptional. Beth and Jess made my husband and I feel so comfortable and confident while we took pictures. It genuinely felt like we were old friends who had known each other for years. They listened to all of our ideas and made them all come to life. Their prices are more than reasonable and the quality far exceeds the price. Easiest 5 stars!!!

Extremely disappointing experience. We hired this videographer for four hours for my son’s rehearsal dinner and specifically requested full coverage of our 30-minute traditional ce...
remony. Delivery was also repeatedly delayed, with several promised dates missed.
The final clips arrived well beyond the stated maximum 12-week delivery period. When she later provided the “raw footage,” it consisted mostly of 30–60 second clips totaling only about 30 minutes.
She provided a discount and brought an additional person, neither of which I requested. Nor does it makes up for missing irreplaceable moments from a once-in-a-lifetime event.
I cannot recommend her.

ured moments I didn’t even know I wanted. Everyone has bragged about the pictures they’ve seen so far, and I honestly could not be happier. As someone who struggles being in front of a camera, she made me and my husband feel comfortable and smile genuinely as our photos were being taken. Would highly recommend them for any wedding needs!
