    Fun, talented, and genuine!

    Bethany is THE BEST! Besides being an amazing photographer, she is simply a great human! Bethany was so fun to work with and we loved getting to know Bethany throughout the wedding planning process. We are already looking for reasons to work with her again! Bethany went above and beyond for our engagement shoot and devoted extra time on our wedding day without us even asking. She is so personable, professional, and authentic. It was so easy to communicate with Bethany and she was so helpful in identifying locations for photos and making it a fun experience. Don't hesitate, book Bethany now!!

    Dream wedding photographer!

    I am so happy we hired Bethany for our Engagement and Wedding photos. Before finding her, I spent a long time looking at photographer portfolios and thought that so many of the poses looked cheesy and staged. Not with Bethany. She captured us looking like real people, with natural facial expressions and body language. For our Engagement photos, she knew exactly where to take us around downtown Chicago for the perfect shots. We had a ton of fun too! For our Wedding in December 2022, she braved the cold to get outside shots of us by the Wrigley Building and the river (go big or go home!) which came out absolutely beautiful. She also captured our first look incredibly well - looking at the picture takes me back to the moment. To sum it up, Bethany is an incredibly kind, calm, funny, and highly skilled photographer who exceeded all my expectations. I highly recommend her!

    Bethany is a WONDER!

    Y'all. Hire this woman! My husband and I had such an incredible experience using Maypole Studios' Bethany Fritz as our wedding photographer. We met through family friends and are SO glad we did. Bethany is absolute marvel - her kind and funny personality made us feel instantly at ease, and she is so game to collaborate on creative choices. We're both artists and wanted a photographer who captures candid moments along with everything we created for our ceremony, and Bethany was the perfect person for the role. She also made our engagement session one of a kind by traveling to House on the Rock with us! I would recommend Bethany to ANYONE looking for photos that are unique, gorgeous, creative, and full of joy - she has been nothing but incredible to work with and we are beyond grateful. A+++!

    Maypole is an absolute Rock Star from Start to Finish

    I am so unbelievably happy we hired Bethany and Maypole Studios.

    She is an absolute rock star in the lead up to the event. Very prompt in responses and she took detailed notes on both what we wanted in photos, how we wanted to spend the time, and landmines to avoid (family drama, awkward pairings, things of that nature). She gave great advice about how to utilize time to best get what we wanted, and all of it paid off.

    Day of she almost functioned as a coordinator. Bethany is remarkably efficient at getting people into formations, giving adjustments, and managing crowds and groups. She also made sure to check in periodically to make sure we were getting everything we wanted, but was never overbearing.

    In terms of the actual product, I've never seen better wedding photos. The edits on our photos were stunning, they weren't overdone and they highlighted our best looks, our guests best looks, and captured each and every magical moment. It almost looks effortless (of course, it is not effortless. She is incredibly skilled and hardworking). She captured every moment we wanted, she captured the vibe we wanted, she took every request we made and elevated it.

    Finally, Bethany was a fantastic resource for my wife and I. We had a venue disaster and had to re-book a venue 6 weeks before the date, and Bethany both in emails and person was extraordinarily helpful, calming, and kind. She is a fantastic photographer, but she's an even better person. I have recommender her to friends, and genuinely hope they hire her so I can have my photos taken by her at other events. She is incredible.

    A fun and chill Vibe for Wedding Photography

    Brian and I want to thank Bethany from Maypole Studios for doing an outstanding job of capturing our wedding. From the moment we met Bethany, we knew her calm and caring demeanor would make us feel comfortable when working with her. Both of us felt like we are a bit awkward in front of a camera and wanted to ensure our pictures were not too posed but rather felt natural and captured the fun of our wedding day.

    After Bethany took our engagement photos at our local bar with our dog Bucky, she was able to get a sense of who we are as people—how to make us laugh, smile, and feel natural in front of the camera. When we saw those pictures, I realized we had chosen the right photographer.

    Fast forward to our wedding day and Bethany and her teammate John were outstanding. While we have not seen all the photos, the photos from the sneak peek are stunning. Bethany and John captured the joy, laughter, and excitement of the day. Bethany recommended to us that we take photos at a “less typical” location in Chicago and used the backdrop of Ping Tom Memorial Park to capture views of the city and colorful mural backgrounds that would be different than most wedding photos. The photos we have seen look real—no one looks stiff—and when shared already with family and friends’ people are saying Bethany’s style very much represented us and the big colors that were part of our day. Bethany was also very responsive to our concerns and needs during family photos when parents on one side of the family are divorced and now have other spouses. In addition, when photos between the guys and girls were taken separately, the guys absolutely loved John, who shared his equipment, knowledge of photography and overall exhibited the “chill” vibe they were looking for. We cannot recommend Maypole Studios enough and look forward to seeing all the thousands of photos from our wedding day!

    Beautiful photos!

    Bethany was a dream to work with. She was laid back (in a good way) and also got the shots we wanted. I love the candid photos from my sneak peak and cannot wait to see what additional photos she has for us. I highly recommend Maypole Studios@

    Best. Photographer. Ever!

    If you don't hire Bethany as your wedding photographer, it's truly your loss. She was referred to us by friends, and I knew as soon as we met her she would be a great fit. My husband and I are not super comfortable in front of the camera, and the thought of engagement photos made us cringe - but we're SO happy we took her up on the engagement shots already included in our package, if for no other reason than to meet her and get comfortable with each other before the big day. Bethany is warm, kind, down to earth, and brings a calming energy to what can be an otherwise chaotic environment -- not to mention, she is *extraordinarily* talented. She captured the magic of our wedding day, and the personalities of those closest to us. Friends and family have raved about how great she was onsite, and the photos themselves are proof enough. She asked thoughtful questions throughout the planning process, came to our final walk-through to meet our vendors and to work out any kinks, and delivered our photos in under a month (!). We love her. You'll love her. Hire her. And we will definitely be calling her for any future photography needs for life's big moments.

    Bethany is the best!!

    I literally cannot say enough good things about Bethany. We first met her back in 2019 when we started planning our (doomed) June 2020 wedding. She was incredibly flexible with us throughout the entire planning process and was willing to put up with not one, but TWO date changes.

    Her work on our engagement photos was gorgeous, and I can't wait to see how our wedding photos turn out. Bethany has a gift for capturing candid moments that really highlight who you are and what you care about, which was the biggest thing I cared about with photography.

    Not only is her work incredible, she is also SO fun to hang out with! She was a great sport for our whole (very long) wedding day, and multiple people in our bridal party told us how much they liked her. Book Bethany for your wedding - you won't be disappointed!!

    Incredible Photographer!!

    Hiring Bethany for our wedding was one of the best decisions we made!! She was absolutely incredible to work with and we couldn't be happier with our wedding photos. As two people who don't love being in front of the camera, she did an awesome job making up feel comfortably and capturing the best of us. She was so easy to work with, which was so great while planning a wedding during a pandemic. I'm still in awe of our engagement and wedding photos and have had countless complements on them from friends and family. If your wedding photos are important to you, hire Bethany ASAP!!

    Incredible Photographer and Experience

    Hire Bethany and don't look back. She is an extremely talented photographer and a pleasure to work with. Especially during these uncertain times, she continuously worked with our updated wedding plans and always maintained a positive attitude. Can't thank her enough for making our wedding day so memorable.

    One of the highlights of our wedding day!

    My husband and I worked with Bethany and Jon at Maypole Studios for our wedding in Chicago on August 18th, and I can honestly say that they were the most amazing people for the job! My husband and I are usually a bit camera shy, but Bethany and Jon immediately put us at ease, and made the entire event so much more enjoyable with their presence. All of our guests could not stop raving about how amazing they both were, and what an absolute joy and pleasure they were to work with. If I had to redo my wedding day, I would without hesitation hire them again, and am so happy how they helped make our day even more special!

    Bethany and Jon and Maypole Studios are BEYOND INCREDIBLE

    This review is exactly 1 year late (7.13.2019), how embarrassing! Bethany and her co-photographer Jon were beyond amazing and did an incredible job capturing our wedding day and it's essence! We also had a fantastic time during our Engagement photo shoot! Not only is Bethany a seriously talented photographer but a kind soul and wonderful human being. From the first day we met her she was warm, down to earth and knowledgeable, making us feel right at ease! As soon as we left our initial consultation meeting, my husband and I knew we wanted Bethany to photograph our wedding! We are not photogenic by any means, but she made us look pretty darn good! During the engagement photo shoot and on the day of the wedding, she helped us be relaxed, ourselves and helped the photos capture 'us.' We cannot thank her enough for her attention to detail, patience, also working with our team of vendors, taking charge when needed and without being asked, providing direction and dealing with our large family and 200 guests! Thank you, Bethany! We cannot recommend Bethany and Maypole Studios enough! Below you'll find some of the photos she took (credit goes to Bethany and Maypole studios) and the last photo just shows how awesome and fun she is!

    Maypole Studios is absolutely wonderful–highly recommend!

    My husband and I absolutely loved working with Bethany and her team at Maypole Studios. Bethany is incredibly talented; she has an innate ability to take pictures that made both of us and our surroundings look fantastic, while also completely natural and authentic. I’ve never seen photos that accurately capture and reflect people’s personalities––until I saw Bethany’s work.

    Neither one of us love getting our photo taken, but Bethany immediately put us at ease. We loved our engagement photos, and our wedding photos blew us away. She captured some truly special moments, and the photos have a surreal, romantic aesthetic that perfectly encapsulated our day for us. The photos were exactly what we wanted, without me even having to (or knowing how) to put what we wanted into words. She is magic!

    It also helps that she is a lovely person. I was bummed when she had to leave our ceremony–I wanted her to stay and hang out with our families, because she is so fun, kind, and easy to get along with. Thank you Bethany!!

    The best photographer in chicago!

    Bethany is so incredibly talented and creative -- we have been so impressed with all of our engagement photos and the photos we have seen so far from our wedding! She is so bubbly and really calmed me down on the wedding day. She has so much experience and knowledge about where to get the perfect shots. She was able to help arrange a private first look on the Nichols Bridge, which was closed that day for a city event. Talk about going above and beyond! Everyone is still talking about our pictures and her and her team -- I wish I could give more stars because she truly deserves it!

    So amazing to work with!!

    I don't even know where to start on how wonderful Bethany is. She stuck with us and was so kind through all the changes to our wedding plans during COVID. We ended up having two weddings: 1) one smaller one in December and 2) our big ceremony/ celebration again in June once restrictions were lifted and she was there for both of them! She's so calm and friendly, it's absolutely impossible not to love her. She got all the shots we wanted, but made us feel like we could take our time and enjoy the moment - she never made us feel rushed or stressed. And we had a really big wedding party so it was definitely not easy to wrangle everyone! But she was so patient and personable and talented. I can't say enough good things - BOOK WITH BETHANY!!

    Hire Bethany Right Now

    Hiring Bethany for our wedding was one of the best decisions we have ever made. You don't need to look any further for a photographer who is talented, fun, unique, professional, and personable. Bethany was perfection and so was our wedding day thanks to her!

    We were a bit unconventional -- surprising our guests with a wedding when they arrived at our home. So, no elegant dresses and no swanky setting; I wondered if it would be worth it to hire a photographer. In a word ... absolutely! Bethany is fantastic. She perfectly captured the shocked faces, smiles, belly laughs, and tears.

    At one point we stepped outside for some fresh air. We were teasing her that the yard (before spring has sprung) might not yield the best pictures. Her direction was "... a couple steps back, yep right there by that dead plant ...". And somehow, the photo that she took of us next to that dead plant and the drab brick wall is one of the loveliest. She may just be a magician.

    It's not just the pictures though. She's fun, genuine, honest, professional. I can recommend Maypole Studios without hesitation.

    Bethany did such an amazing job capturing our wedding day. Getting married brings on a lot of stress, but working with Bethany was one of the least stressful of the to-dos. Not only is she a delight to be around, we received so many compliments and praises regarding her at the wedding as well as the quality of the photos taken.

    My wife and I worked with Maypole Studios for our wedding and engagement photos. We wanted a photographer who could capture our personalities and display a positive energy from our photos and Bethany excelled in both of those aspects.

    Bethany exudes a calm confidence during her photo sessions. She makes you feel at ease that she’s going to capture exactly what you’re looking for without any pressure to pose or present yourself in any specific way. I’ve been in wedding parties for friends where I feel like I’m a mannequin for the photographer and have to conform to their “artistic vision.” Bethany completely flips that approach and makes sure that her work is a product of your input.

    Our wedding was in Florida and Bethany arrived the day before to make sure she had enough time to scope out the venue so she wouldn’t have to worry about scouting for locations on the day of so she could devote more time to documenting all the different moments from the wedding throughout the day. Everyone from our family and wedding party commented on how efficient and laid back Bethany was and said she was the easiest photographer they’ve worked with. She was patient with us if we had any stressful moments and was always happy to take the inevitable “one more” photo with family members.

    Every artist has their own style and every couple looks to get something particular out of their photos. Some seek out dramatic poses with over the top romance and formality. For my wife and I, we think weddings are meant to be fun, joyous moments filled with the love we share with each other and our families and friends. Bethany was the perfect photographer for this and shared our vision. My wife and I always smile when we look back at our photos and see the genuine, sweet, and goofy moments we shared.

    We can’t wait to work with Maypole Studios again.

    Bethany is a unicorn queen. We were introduced via a friend who had her photograph their wedding and restaurant opening. My fiancé and I had JUST got engaged and we looked through her photos and we are sold! Her personality and fun-loving attitude was exactly what we were looking for on our big day. She gave me so many referrals for flowers, dj, hair makeup: she was basically my wedding planner and photographer all in one! A literal angel.
    Her extra photographers the day of had her same awesome attitude as her; much appreciated when the stress hits. Her spots for couple shots were perfectly matched to us as a couple- we had so much fun the 3 of us: which is a big deal in looking and feeling comfortable! Bethany made our day perfect; 10 out of 10, we'd get married again just to hang out with her!

    Stop researching photographers and hire Bethany NOW! ok but seriously - you won't find a better one than her! Where do I even begin with trying to describe how amazing she is?

    My husband and I met with several photographers throughout the process, but we sure saved the best for last. From the instant we sat down with her in her studio, we felt immediately comfortable with her. She has a way of making you feel like you've known her forever, which really allowed us to act natural around and with her. Having tons of photos taken of you & your significant other can be hard for some people (including my husband!), so hiring a photographer who puts you at ease is a must! Bethany did that and so much more. She took the time to get to know us and made us feel like we were the most important couple in the world. She is also the sweetest person you'll ever meet, which makes it even more enjoyable to have her around all day on your wedding day! She was so patient with my parents and my in-laws, making sure everyone was happy before she left. She also worked so well with our other vendors (some of whom were not easy to work with). It really was a pleasure to have her there all day!

    On top of her being just a doll to be around, her work is absolutely SPECTACULAR! The ability to capture real moments between couples is a rarity, and she does it all in the most beautifully creative way. Hiring her was by far the best decision we made. Thank you for everything, Bethany! You're amazing!

    Bethany is amazing! She's an incredible photographer, is very invested in her work, and she's very personable. She made us feel very comfortable during our engagement session and made everyone feel comfortable during our wedding. She spent so much time with us on multiple occasions. That translates to the photos she captures. We LOVE our wedding photos and our engagement session photos. Bethany captured so many details. We received so many photos from Bethany of us, the wedding party, and our family and our friends. We had beautiful pictures to share with so many of our guests. Working with Bethany was one of the highlights of our wedding process and one of the best decisions we made! She's fantastic!

    We initially saw Bethany's work based on reviews from this site. Her website and personal philosophy just seemed to fit with what we wanted for our last minute (planned in 4 months) wedding. We met Bethany at her studio and were immediately at ease with her. She even had a nice selection of beer and snacks for us when we arrived (we were getting married at a brewery). We looked at a few other photographers, but nobody even came close to the initial impression that we had from Bethany.
    She was always timely in her responses, much more than anyone else that we dealt with during the wedding planning process. We did engagement pictures and she was very flexible with scheduling (due to a horribly cold Chicago winter). We had to do mostly indoor pictures but we were very happy with the outcome.
    When it came to the wedding day she and her assistant were exactly what you want in a photography team. There was good communication before our big day, they were on time, and constantly positive and upbeat. They found us great locations for outdoor photos before the wedding ceremony. The wedding itself, they were there in the background, but never overwhelming. They were not blocking our guests views of the ceremony (one of my pet peeves) and during dancing we barely knew they were there.
    Needless to say the pictures were awesome!!! We are so happy with how they turned out from the color, to the composition, to the amazing way they made me look awesome in every shot.
    We will be using Bethany and Maypole for all of our photography needs in the future!

    My wedding planner presented about 10 photographers' websites to me. Bethany's work really stood out from all the rest to me - hers was the only portfolio that made me say "oooh!" and I felt like we clicked when we met.

    She is such a friendly, cheerful person, which really helps when it's just you, your partner, and her, posing in possibly strange places or attire (I can't imagine too many people would be comfortable doing that right off the bat). A bit awkward at first, we quickly became comfortable working with her. She provided direction for us ("now lean your foreheads together..") to not look awkward. My husband and I are rather quiet, so her direction really helped.

    We started with an engagement session at a location of my choosing. She met us and we spent a few hours wandering and taking photos. I wasn't sure if we were acting the way we should, or if we would look awkward and posed in all of the photos. When Bethany finished editing the photos and sent them back to me, I was absolutely floored. There were so many and they were all completely gorgeous. I don't know how she managed to capture so many great shots in that session! She shared the photos with me via dropbox so they were instantly on my computer, which was nice.

    On the day of my wedding, she arrived with her second photographer to take some shots while we were getting ready. We then did a "first look" session in the courtyard, followed by shots with the bridal party in a nearby park that she found ahead of time. Then were shots with our family, and finally the ceremony and reception. I absolutely cannot wait to see what she captured through all of this!

    In conclusion, Bethany is probably my favorite person I've ever paid for a service (tied with my wedding planner!) I am absolutely 110% satisfied with my experience with Bethany and would highly recommend anyone looking for an absolutely amazing photographer to contact her :)

    Bethany is the BEST. My husband and I loved getting to know Bethany throughout the wedding process, and we miss seeing her, and that is before I even get into the photos! She did the most amazing job. I cannot even put it into words. We have our pictures back now, and could not be more thrilled. She created a beautiful slide show which we can easily show to our friends and family, an app so we can show people photos easily, and delivered all the files for us. They are amazing pictures - capturing the beauty of the day and all the best moments. She has a true talent. I cannot recommend her more highly!
