    Amazing pictures

    We hired Photography and Beyond to capture the memories of my mom’s 90th birthday celebration. The photographer arrived on time and was ready to get to work. She had an eye for the best angle and a feel for great shots. While she worked quickly, she was never in the way. When I saw the proofs, I was blown away by her capturing the exact mood and feel of the day. The pictures did not disappoint. Thank you so much!!

    What a great experience!

    Dealora and her husband were AMAZING! I was so unorganized and she just pulled it all together and made it happen for us! They were amazing at getting really great shots! We have not gotten all of them back but I LOVE what we’ve seen so far!! She’s very responsive and was absolutely a perfect fit for us!

    Amazing Team that helped make our day amazing!

    So as I write this review we have only gotten a sneak peek of our wedding pictures but I can already say that this team is AMAZING! Dealora and Dan were absolutely wonderful. I love that Dealora was with us ladies because she was a blast and really helped us throughout the day. She has a great presence and personality and really had a calming affect on me as the bride. Dan did a great job of letting my guys be themselves and from the sneak peek a lone I am so happy with the pictures they got of our day. They were a blast to work with and the pictures are so beautiful - I can't wait to see them all and show all our family and friends so we can all relive such a great day. Dealora specially did an amazing job of embracing the quirkiness of me the bride and even took cute pictures of me reading the letter from my groom while snuggling a stuffed pikachu and she didn't even blink an eye and even then took him later to include in other pictures that would be cute. She really does a great job of observing and making sure to get pictures that will be truly meaningful and awesome! I am so happy we hired this team they are absolutely phenomenal!

    Extremely creative and high-quality work

    Dealora and her husband were just a joy to work with. Dealora is incredibly talented and creative. The quality of her work exceeded even my high expectation. I reviewed many (many, many) photographers before selecting Photography and Beyond as our wedding photographer and received even more beautiful and high-quality photos than others who paid as much as three times what I did. Overall, a completely positive experience and we are thrilled with the outcome!

    Dealora and her husband were absolutely amazing! They captured all of our special moments perfectly . . . even my 88 yo Mom noticed on on top of things they were!! It's going to be so difficult picking out the top 50, as they are all so good. I highly recommend them!!

    Dealora and her husband Dan are wonderful! They were an absolute delight to work with from the very beginning when we were just looking for quotes, up through the almost 12 hours they spent with us on our wedding day. They wrangled our 14-person wedding party (plus family) like pros when it came time for post-ceremony photos; they worked with and around our wedding day timeline to make sure no stone went unturned as far as getting ready photos, etc.; they were courteous and professional and consistently went above and beyond; and they even sent us sneak peek photos about 36 hours after the wedding so I could share them with family members who weren't able to make it to the wedding. I can't wait to recommend them for a wedding or another event so I can see them again soon!

    Our wedding was PERFECT. The pictures are AMAZING! Delora has an eye for the perfect picture. The photo booth is superior to any I have ever seen with lots of little extras! You would be missing out if you don’t hire Delora to photograph your wedding! It was the best day of my life and we can relive it through her fantastic photos.

    I would recommend to everyone all day. They were both very patient especially with our big wedding party with that was full of so many different personalities. We really appreciated it. I also had to reschedule my bridal shoot several times and they were always patient and flexible. Pictures came out wonderfully and the prices were amazing!

    Dealora is an absolutely incredible person! She is extremely efficient and friendly! I hadn’t actually met her until the day of my wedding, but I was instantly comfortable around her. I had many people at my wedding compliment the job she was doing and how likeable she was! You cannot beat the value that she offers and I promise if you hire her you won’t be disappointed! We hope to book family pictures with her in the near future! I added a few of my favorite sneak peaks, and cannot wait to get the rest of or pictures back!

    I absolutely loved our photographer. My fiance and I have not had any professional pictures taken together but we knew that it was time to splurge a bit for the engagement pictures. She was well organized and had great ideas. We were nervous for the first little bit but with her encouragement we opened up quickly.

    Dealora Snyder @ D2 Photography created a beautiful, timeless and thoughtful photo book for my children and I around Mother's Day 2017 at Murray's Mill, North Carolina. We enjoyed our time spent with her, felt very comfortable - her services are professional, responses very prompt and the results speak for themselves. We are amazed at the creative layout, finishes, tones and the inspirational and meaningful quotes (the ones we provided as well as those Dealora added as finishing touches – PERFECT!). The cover is really striking, too. She is our favorite photographer!

    We will always cherish our photo book!

    I was so impressed with this service! The photographer uses a contract and gets a lot of information about your wedding party and what exactly you are wanting on your big day. The photographer took time to talk with each of my bridesmaids and family and learned their names. Overall the most professional vendor I used for my wedding! My husband and I couldn't be happier!

    I had been searching for an affordable photographer since the beginning of my engagement. Dealora has been a God Send as far as my vendors are concerned. She has been very responsive and helpful in every way she can. My fiance' and I just did an engagement shoot and we has all of our pics back within a week! And they were beautiful! I cant wait to see my wedding day pics in October.

    We had such a great experience taking our engagement photos with Dealora! It was so comfortable (despite the cold weather!) and the photos turned out beautifully. The turnaround was very quick too; we had our pictures in hand within the next week or so. We're very excited for her to photograph our wedding this fall!

    Dealora was amazing! She did our family/Christmas pictures and I was so pleased with everything! Our then 6 month old didn't want to cooperate, but she was very patient and the pictures still turned out beautiful whether he was smiling or not. I will be coming back! :)

    Everything We Hoped For

    My wife and I were very pleased with Photography and Beyond. Dealora was very accommodating right from the start and made the decision to hire her an easy one from the very first time we met with her. In an otherwise cost-conscious wedding, having a great photographer was one of our top priorities. We wanted to have someone that would be able to improvise as well as fulfill our expectations with photos that we knew we wanted. When it was suggested to us to have a second photographer at the wedding, we were a little hesitant at first but we are very glad that we did. Dealora was able to spend hours before the wedding with my wife in the Bridal Suite while the second shooter (also provided by Photography and Beyond) was able to get some group shots of my groomsman and I. This continued throughout the entire day as Dealora was able to focus on the more “scripted” shots and the second shooter was able to take more casual photos of our guests and family enjoying the evening. Those ended up being some of our favorite photos. Dealora was also willing to go offsite from the where the wedding took place to take pictures with the entire wedding party at a nearby golf course. We ended up with over 2,000 photo’s for the entire wedding. The photo albums offered to us were absolutely stunning as well. If we could do it all again we would not change a thing. I would recommend Photography and Beyond to anyone looking for someone that is dedicated to their craft and understands that there is already enough on the brides plate to have to worry about the photos being taken at the wedding. You know you are in good hands with Dealora and having that peace of mind is priceless.

    Deolora and her husband were experienced photographers that showed alot of care in what they did. Overall, great value for the price.

    Dealora is a class act. She really knows what she is doing behind a camera. She is great with the young and old alike. I send her an email about a photo shoot she was doing and she returned my email the same business day! She brings everything you need, just show up! The value for what you get is unheard of! She will work with you to acheive exactly what your looking for. I would choose her again any day!

    Extremely Disappointed

    My wife and I found Photography and Beyond thru WeddingWire and hired them since they were within our price range. The pictures we received from them were extremely disappointing and many traditional pictures were missing from the ones that they sent us. There was not 1 picture of the entire wedding party. Any photos of the wedding party had people cut out. There were only 3 pictures of my wife walking down the aisle and none of my reaction to her. The photographer we had was very nice but did not give any direction when taking photos. Many of the photos of families were not appealing or members were missing. Most photographers I've seen at weddings give massive amounts of guidance to the party and families in order to get the shots they need. This person did no such thing and barely said anything at all. Overall I am extremely disappointed with what was sent to us and I would not recommend this company to others. Pay a little more for your wedding photos and they will be infinitely better.

    Pandemic Wedding

    I was to be married on June 20th 2020. Unfortunately Covid-19 restrictions and the desire to keep family and friends safe made that impossible. The wedding venue didn’t have any dates available in 2020 or 2021 so the wedding is canceled til further planning. Every vendor returned the money in full. The venue itself, the caterer, D.J., florist all of them returned all money paid. Photography and beyond were the only vendor that did not return the money in full. They kept $361.00 out of $1447.00 that had been paid. In the email the photographer stated that she has done everything possible considering the situation however, she only did exactly what the contract states for a normal situation. She also stated that it would be immoral to return my payment in full when she hasn’t done so for others. I wonder how many other people’s money she has kept?

    So disappointed.

    Like most brides in 2020 I was forced to move my wedding due to covid. I informed Dealora of this as soon as I knew and we were able to work out a new date. Thankfully because I had already paid her in full. On the wedding date, a contracted photographer showed up at my wedding whom I had never spoken with before, not Delora. However, trusting the process I went with it. The photographer was polite however the photos were cookie cutter. I had sent Dealora many inspiration photos that I like and none of them were conveyed to the new photographer. The contract that was signed between Dealora and me stated that all the photos would be edited and returned to me no later than 90 from the date of the wedding. That did not happen. I had to email her several times to where my photos where. When I got a response she told me that she wanted to make sure the photos were perfect and that she wanted to make sure that I was happy. I was absolutely not happy. The photos were hardly edited and extremely over-processed. I had to edit the photos myself. Not exactly what I had in mind when it came to hiring a "professional". Her idea of fully editing was turning all the photos in black and white. The first photos were what she sent me as edited in her eyes. The next one were one I had to edit myself. Most of the photos were not centered. Over half of them were out of focus. So much disapointment.

    Making a mistake

    I hired Dealora Snyder to photograph my wedding and paid her in full in advance. Life happened, we had to postpone the date. I notified her 6 months in advance that we would have to change the date. She said no problem and we scheduled a tentative date. She did not mention at all that we would need a new contract and unfortunately, I am not a lawyer. I later notified her of the concrete date, she was unavailable. When I asked about cancellation she said that was not necessary because my contract expired on the original date and that she would be keeping all of my money. If you make the mistake of hiring her, do not pay in advance.

    I was NOT happy with my wedding photos. I paid for TWO photographers; I got one and A husband!! A lot of the photos had slim to none edits. As a bride I would think the photos would make my husband and I the center of attention. This was not the case at all. I voiced my opinion privately and professionally and nothing was even offered to me to help!! Though she did mention for extra money she could try and edit them some more, but by then I was too bothered by their work! I would not recommend d2 to anyone I know!!!
