I’m absolutely thrilled to share our experience with Bethany as our wedding photographer! From the very first meeting, her warm and caring nature made us feel comfortable and excited about capturing our special day.

Bethany has an incredible talent for making everyone feel at ease in front of the camera, which allowed us to relax and be ourselves. Her ability to capture the genuine love and emotion of our wedding was truly remarkable.

Bethany is incredibly personable and attentive. She took the time to understand our vision, and went above and beyond to ensure that every shot reflected our love story.

If you're looking for a photographer who genuinely cares and has a knack for capturing the essence of your day, look no further than Bethany. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a talented and compassionate photographer. She helped us document the magic of our wedding by creating a collection of photos that we will cherish forever.

Where to start... Bethany is simply AMAZING! From the moment that we talked to Bethany, we had this instant connection. We didn't even want to talk to any other photographer, we knew she was the one. And we were completely right: Bethany did our engagement photoshoot and she went all over Chicago with us, having fun, making us laugh, making us enjoy each other and also connect with her as a person.

Bethany is personal, friendly, smart, professional, warm, and everything that you would ever want from someone to capture such special moments from your life. Bethany's result from the engagement photoshoot were amazing, ensuring that we had made the right decision.

For the wedding, we had so many families involved in our pictures, that we gave Bethany a LONG list (70+ pictures) that we wanted to take. Bethany took the challenge and not only she delivered it, but we had even time to spare to take pictures of just the two of us. That just shows how efficient, organized, professional, and amazing she is. She knew how those pictures mattered to us because of how many families were involved in this day, and she made sure to capture all of those moments.

Bethany already shared a preview of the pictures of the big day. The pictures are amazing, and I can't wait to see the final result. More important than the product itself, I gained a new friend, because that is just who Bethany is, a beautiful human being, with a great eye to capture beautiful moments.

I can't wait to celebrate more times with Maypole Studios!

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.
