    Incredible Wedding Photographer!

    Bethany is an AMAZING photographer! She did our engagement photos and both days of our wedding festivities. She helped us feel at ease in front of the camera and was lovely to work with. She is patient, organized, fun, professional, and super talented! Multiple members of our wedding party told us how great they thought she was. We cannot recommend her highly enough!

    Bethany Snyder Photography — AMAZING!

    “Wow” is all I can say about Bethany Snyder Photography. If you’re looking for someone to not only catch special moments of your wedding day, but the raw emotion — laughs, tears, and tenderness, then Bethany is your girl. They say photos speak a thousand words but Bethany’s speak infinitely more. She’s the kindest soul, and you will not be disappointed!

    As for her photos, they are high quality and the color is beautiful! They look natural and don’t have an over-edited look at all that you sometimes see. Her ideas for posing always turn out the best photos, and even though it may feel a bit awkward during the session, she makes you laugh and feel great about yourself! (Who knew whispering your favorite dessert in a sexy voice to your new husband could make a photo look that good?! LOL!)

    All in all, Bethany Snyder Photography is a wonderful business, and Bethany is an amazing photographer who can give you exquisite, timeless photos that will remind you of your most memorable moments for the rest of your life.

    Bethany Snyder Photography's reply:

    Ariel, I am so incredibly touched by your kind words. You both were so fun to work with, and it was so wonderful to share my time with you. Feeling super lucky I got to witness you begin this journey together!!! Thank you!

    The best that money can buy! True talent!

    The only words I can use to articulate our experience in working with Bethany Snyder as our photographer are that she is an awesome, detailed, and personable person.

    We started our journey with Bethany when we were in the developmental stages of our wedding. She helped out so much with the process and flow of our wedding. From 👗 by and preparation to reception, and even departure. She was more than our photographer, in many ways she was our design artist and wedding planner.

    The thought of paying for someone to take photos of your wedding can be stressful, but Bethany jumped into our wedding and made us feel more comfortable, more so than I thought possible. At first the photos felt awkward, but Bethany made us feel more confident by having us be ourselves in front of the camera.

    We started to really enjoy the process. The stress of capturing the perfect most memorable moments of our wedding seemed to flutter away as we noticed that Bethany was moving like a marathon runner.

    A short wait after our wedding, Bethany sent us the photos. We were so excited to see all the family, and even moments that we (the groom and bride) had missed due to the commotion. It was as if there were 4+ photographers shooting our wedding.

    Since then, we have always encouraged people to spend the extra money and hire a professional to shoot thier wedding because at the end of the wedding when everyone has gone home and you have cleaned the event. All you have are the photos, and videos to remember your wonderful and blessed day or event.

    Bethany Snyder Photography's reply:

    Aaron, you two are truly remarkable to behold. You make us all believers in true love. Thank you so much for your kind words -- I feel like the luckiest photographer to have witnessed and captured such a connection!

    Gorgeous Photos to Relive a Perfect Day

    Bethany was an amazing photographer to have for our wedding. All of our photos were gorgeous. We can't stop looking at them and our friends and family can't stop talking about them. My husband and I don't really like taking posed pictures so we were hesitant about our posed shots together. However, Bethany did such a great job getting us to feel comfortable and natural and the pictures show it! We really wanted the photos to highlight the beautiful landscape we were in, and Bethany captured it so well. Her portrait shots, of not only us, but also our guests were incredible too and the dance floor photos have us laughing and reliving the party all over again! It was over 90 degrees and sunny on our wedding day, but every time I saw Bethany she was working hard with a smile. We were so happy with all our photos, from posed shots and portraits to captured moments. We will definitely be looking back on these forever!

    The Best Photographer!

    Bethany was absolutely amazing to work with! We did both our engagement photos and wedding day photos with her, and were so impressed by her kindness, upbeat attitude, and creativity. Jason and I were both blown away by the quality of Bethany's photos (and her assistant's!) from our wedding day. We literally go through them all once a week (or more) and they make us so happy - I know we'll be looking over them with joy for years to come. I can't recommend Bethany highly enough - we loved working with her and would certainly do so again!

    Incredible!

    I can't say enough wonderful things about our experience working with Bethany Snyder. From the first phone call, my fiance and I felt like we were in great hands. She helped us stay organized, answered any questions we had, and most importantly took beautiful photos that perfectly captured our whole day. We knew that she had our interests, our personalities, our vision for the day in mind and it was executed flawlessly! She captured all of the highlights and even the in between moments that give us a way to look back on our favorite memories as well as ones we didn't get to experience first hand. We have received so many compliments from friends and family regarding the finished product as well. I highly recommend Bethany and her team (we had a second photographer assist, Karis was phenomenal!). We felt confident and comfortable throughout the whole process and ended up with beautiful photographs.

    Amazing Experience- Incredible Photos

    I am so glad we found Bethany Snyder to photograph our wedding. I don’t love being in front of the camera, so I was nervous that the photos wouldn’t turn out, but during the process of the wedding she was so personable and fun that it distracted me from my nerves and it ended up being one of the best parts of the wedding. We had a huge wedding party, and she was able to direct us all really well and that part went more smoothly than any other experience I’ve had with a Photographer trying to keep everyone in order. She was smiling and pleasant the whole time and didn’t get stressed like I’ve seen other photographers get in that situation. She also had the best ideas for the wedding shots, she was enthusiastic about taking different poses and also had great ideas for the places she we take them. So the experience was wonderful- but I still didn’t know how the photos would turn out- but then we got them and we were in awe, they were seriously the best wedding photos I could have imagined. Our expectations were so exceeded and now we have these amazing memories in frames and photo albums that we can show our grandchildren and be so proud of. Bethany Snyder is the best- you definitely want her shooting your wedding.

    Exceeded all expectations

    Bethany's work exceeded our (already high) expectations. We first learned about Bethany from her work on my brother's wedding, two years before our wedding. For both weddings, the photographs she produced were exceptional (of course, I prefer the photos from our wedding!). Her work is both artistically inspired and technically impressive (her command of depth of field is noteworthy). We often referred to her as a 'ninja' because she captures candid moments without you even noticing. Bethany was a delight to work with through the entire process, from the engagement shoot to the lovely box of goodies she sent us with the final wedding photographs. She revels in capturing love, and that enthusiasm shines through her work. Of all the decisions we made while planning our wedding, hiring Bethany was far and away the best.

    A joy To Work With

    We adored working with Bethany! From our engagement session to our wedding day she put us at ease in front of the camera and really understood what was important to us. She was patient in answering all of our questions and really took the time to get to know us as a couple. The final product of both our engagement and wedding photos were beyond our expectations. She captured each detail, so many of them we didn't have the opportunity to take in on our wedding day, and as we look back on our photos it takes us back to so many great memories of that day.

    You'll be lucky if you can book her

    Your wedding day goes by in an instant. Family, friends, drinks, dancing...and not nearly enough time to remember every unique moment. But you will be very, very lucky, if you have someone like Beth there to capture every laugh, tear and terrible dance move. Beth was exceptional! She took the time to get to know us, to understand our vision for the wedding, and used her incredible talents to take some truly beautiful photos. She was everything you want in a photographer...professional, talented and punctual. She kept in regular contact with us, and even gave us an up-to-date timeline for when we would receive the final set of photos (and she finished early). Most of all, she put us at ease throughout our wedding day. She was kind, kept us laughing and obliged even when our families wanted yet another photo. Bottom line, she made us look good....very good, and gave us memories that we will cherish forever. If you have the chance to work with her, don't pass it up.

    Incredible experience with Bethany

    I don't even know where to begin. Bethany was AMAZING to work with. We loved every single interaction with her, from the first phone call to being in LOVE with every single one of our photos.

    Bethany helped me throughout the whole process, including planning a timeline that had enough time for us to get the photos we wanted. We are obsessed with every single photograph she took. It was incredible to be surrounded by her joyful and sweet spirit throughout our big day. She took us into the vineyard and into a field to truly capture the natural beauty of our venue and we couldn't be more thankful.

    I cannot recommend Bethany enough - she is truly incredible to work with and her work is phenomenal!

    Thank God for Bethany

    Bethany was truly amazing! Her presence was so graceful and nonintrusive and I honestly cannot think of anything I would have changed about how our wedding was captured. The photos are so gorgeous I still go back and look at them on a weekly basis and am blown away. I HIGHLY recommend Bethany to any one seeking a caring, intimate, talented, and professional wedding photographer.

    Ethereal and genuine photography

    Bethany is not only a talented photographer, she is a kind soul with a light touch. My husband and I were looking for someone to complement and help execute the natural, elegant yet laid-back vibe for our wedding day, and we found her to be the perfect fit. She guided us through the entire wedding process and patiently answered our many questions along the way. During our engagement shoot and particularly on our wedding day, we found her to be a calming yet effective presence, which helped put us at ease. It is so important to surround yourself with vendors you feel comfortable with on your wedding day as you spend a lot of time with your photographers (and videographers) in particular, and their products of this experience will last you a lifetime. We’re very happy with our wedding photos and found her portfolio be to indicative of the beautiful photos we received. If you’re looking for photography that’s honest, genuine, earthy, and ethereal, look no further as Bethany not only captures this aesthetic, she embodies it as well.

    We were absolutely happy with the process from start to finish. Bethany was there on time; took fabulous pictures; was an absolute delight to work with; and the pictures were so terrific it was hard to select among them for our album! She was full of creative ideas for shots. She got the job done without being pushy inn the least. We got all the desired in advance shots and tons that we would have never thought to include. Everyone in the family that saw the shots said "Wow" you really got great pictures. I would suggest you book her as early as possible - as being this good - her charges will have to go up. You will not be unhappy with the process or the the results!

    Bethany is absolutely amazing! Her photos are ethereal and pure magic. Our engagement session was so much fun and we absolutely love the images. She photographed our wedding this past Saturday, 6/24, and once again made us completely comfortable & helped us get over our nerves. She's warm, funny and sweet, you feel like you've known her your entire life. And goodness, her work is so good! We'll gaze at her images of our special day for the rest of our lives & cherish the time we spent with her!

    Photography was extremely high priority for us in our wedding planning, and there are tons of talented folks in our area. That said, as soon as my now-husband found Bethany's work online, there was no question of who we'd go with -- especially once we contacted her. She is probably the warmest and most responsive and professional vendor we had the pleasure of working with (and they were all great).

    Her work is stylized, beautiful, dynamic, and emotive. Not only that, but she's so much fun, and so relaxed (and relaxing!). I did multiple photo sessions with her (boudoir and bridal before the wedding date), and each time was such a pleasure! She has an amazing eye, and will go above and beyond (really, more than we can say) to capture beautiful photos. Working with her really consists of making art out of this pivotal, overwhelming life event -- and that is priceless. Really, Bethany, we can't thank you enough!

    Bethany was a dream to work with! She is not only an incredibly talented artist, she has a beautiful personality, and made the whole process simple and enjoyable. Bethany was recommended to me by a friend who does wedding coordination and has enjoyed working with her before. We looked through her portfolio and instantly fell in love with her dreamy aesthetic, talent for capturing authentic love, and ability to make every wedding image unique. When we FaceTimed with her and finally "met" her, we knew she was the photographer for us. Hiring a wedding photographer for us wasn't just about artistic talent, but finding someone we could connect with and would make us feel comfortable and happy during planning and on our wedding day. Bethany is genuinely kind and warm and felt like someone we had known for years. She made us feel at ease during the planning process and answered all our millions of questions. On our wedding day, she was like having your best friend hang out with you and your partner and capture all the love as you giggle with happiness. When we received our sneak peek of photos, all our expectations were exceeded! It was like reliving our favorite day with beautiful images! We are SO happy with our decision to hire Bethany and we hope to have her capture other big moments in our lives.

    Bethany is absolutely amazing! I fell in love with her work after seeing my cousin's wedding pictures (Bethany was her wedding photographer). I knew that I wanted Bethany as my wedding photographer and I was not even engaged at the time! As soon as i became engaged Bethany was the first vendor I contacted. Our wedding pictures seemed like pictures out of a magazine! We were beyond thrilled and awed with our pictures. We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. She is super sweet and a dream to work with! If you want pictures out of a magazine, book Bethany as your photographer. You won't regret it!

    Bethany was AMAZING to work with. We got the package to do engagement pictures and she was game enough to meet and do a lot of hiking in order to get some great pictures in Harpers Ferry. She was fun and positive and although me and my husband are not great at posing she was able to get some really great pictures of us. Her same positive spirit was a great addition to the day of our wedding as well. She met with us a couple of days before the wedding to scout the site of our potential wedding which was great and helped to make me feel better about how that was going to go down. Then of course it rained so we had to wing it and I can tell you the pictures were stunning and getting the shots were quite an adventure made easy with Bethany and the second shooter Leigh being so encouraging and down to do whatever to get a great shot. I am so happy to have had her as our photographer and simply to have her around on the day. She was great and I highly recommend her.

    Bethany was AMAZING to work with. I had a poorly made, ill fitting dress and she managed to make me look beautiful. Her detail shots are beyond comparison. These are the highest quality photos that I have ever had. She captured small moments with me and my daughter that were priceless. Most importantly she captured the joy of my wedding day. It oozes from the images. It is impossible to view my photos without feeling the love of that day. She was a kit to work with as well. She was constantly excited about her shots and that infectious spirit makes it so enjoyable to be photographed. I would without hesitation recommend her!

    Working with Bethany exceeded our every expectation! Not only is she cheery and pleasant to be around, but also reliable, hard-working and extremely talented. When we consider the positive experience and the amazing results, we see that "investing" in professional photography, specifically Bethany, was a great value. She knows how to deal with people that are a little camera-shy, and during the wedding, her level-headed guidance helped us get the shots we wanted even in the midst of schedule setbacks and the onset of rain. During the ceremony, she was practically a ninja -- even working in a VERY tight chapel space. She captured it beautifully, and my husband and I didn't even realize she was there. From our portraits, to the group family shots, to the priceless memories she captured at the reception...our family will cherish these photos forever. It was already a beautiful and joy-filled day, but Bethany made it look like something out of a dream; or at least a magazine! Thank you Bethany for your amazing work!

    My husband and I absolutely loved Bethany!! She was so easy to work with from the beginning to the end. She helped us feel comfortable at the engagement shoot and it made it easier on the day of the wedding on what to expect. Her passion excites me and I love people that truly love what they do. It was joyous to both of us to see her and her 2nd shooter's excitement of doing what they love. She was also helpful and calming to me during the day. She has a great eye for capturing the best pictures in lighting and scenery. My dog was even in many of the pictures and she captured some great candid photos of him and I. I loved the detail shots of the whole day. I think my favorite detail shot was of the wine ceremony of Joe and I pouring our glasses into one glass. Just Beautiful work!! I am so gracious we chose you to capture our day!!

    As a photographer myself, one of my biggest decisions was who I would hire to photograph my big day. After some research and a wonderful phone call, I knew Bethany would be perfect! She has such a warm and inviting personality that I instantly felt comfortable being on the other side of the camera. She captured our big day beautifully and was such a trooper to stick it out in the rain as it rained pretty much the entire day for our outdoor wedding. I highly recommend Bethany!
