    Bethany & Dan are unbelievable! Look no further.

    Bethany and Dan were absolutely amazing from Day 1 and are just downright great people. My wife and I are not what you would call "photo folks", but B & D went above and beyond to answer our questions, make us comfortable, and produced an unbelievable end result of our big day. We have nothing but appreciation for them as people and their art. Highly recommended!

    Truly perfect

    If you are looking for an engagement or wedding photographer, look no further. Bethany and Dan are the perfect combination. They made us feel so comfortable and at ease we could easily be ourselves in front of the camera. As a couple nervous about being in front of the camera and caring mostly about the candid, special moments, Bethany and Dan captured us perfectly and delivered photos our friends and family can’t stop raving about. We couldn’t have asked for better photographers and would hire them again if we could!!

    Bethany & dan are magic

    Bethany & Dan are MAGIC! They made our wedding elopement so special. They made us feel our most comfortable selves and brought such a fun energy to the day. I have recommended them to everyone I know and will continue to do so! The photos capture the magic we felt and brought artistic beauty, vision and levity. So grateful for Bethany & Dan! Watching artists, lovers and business owners work together was inspiring.

    Bethany and Dan are the best!

    Bethany was one of the photographers for my sister’s wedding and we loved her so much that we asked her and Dan to photograph our wedding over a decade later. They did not disappoint. They captured all the people we love exactly as they are and we could not be happier. They bring such a great grounding energy to a wild and crazy day. Truly the best!

    Amazing photographers!

    Bethany and Dan did an amazing job photographing our elopement. Not only are they super sweet, but they are super personable and made us feel at ease the entire time! They were very flexible with timing and location. I cannot recommend them enough, we are absolutely in love with our photos.

    Get ready for compliments!

    Of course, the compliments will come rolling in after you share Bethany and Dan's photos. But even better is the experience on the day. We decided to elope on Peaks Island and it was perfect, in large part because Bethany and Dan helped to make the experience so magical and gorgeous. If you want to take jaw-dropping photos out in nature and don't mind trailing your fancy clothes through sand, forest, and waves, these are the photographers for you. They're genuine, funny, and great people too. We can't recommend them highly enough.

    Looking for an excuse to hire them again!

    Bethany & Dan did an incredible job capturing our wedding in May 2022. Their photographs showcased the day as we wanted to remember it - a combination of candids and posed pictures featuring all the emotions, vibes, and our surroundings. We loved their creativity and energy.
    Outside of their work, Bethany & Dan were wonderful to work with. Due to Covid, our June 2020 wedding was postponed 3 times. They were extremely accommodating, which made the overall process easy, fun and stress free. They are genuinely great people and couldn’t recommend them more!

    Talented & professional but so much more!

    As a wedding officiant, I get to watch these two work with couples first hand. The comfort level they achieve must be the key to their success. You want Bethany and Dan around you. They have a quiet, artistic badass energy that is clearly reflected in their images. I can count on a cool altar photo every time we work together! They’re both full of ideas and resources which adds another dimension of “unique” to their work and your experience with them. You can count on Bethany & Dan to capture your day beautifully, at a great value and you’ll have the time of your life with them both!

    Best in the Business!

    Bethany and Dan are the absolute best! From the moment we had our first skype call with them, we instantly felt connected. They are as charming, funny, and supportive as they are talented. 2020 was one heck of a year and they were along for the ride with us, from closed venues to date changes and postponements, Bethany and Dan took it all in stride and reassured us that it would all work out. They made our small and intimate wedding in November feel like an incredibly monumental day and captured all of the moments, big and small, perfectly. The only downfall—having to say goodbye to them when it was all over! :)

    Best Photographers in Maine

    Bethany and Dan were great not only were they professional but also fun to be around and party with. We would definitely be friends and go surfing with Dan if we were local to Maine. They performed all photo groups we asked for plus added their own creative perspective to some shots came out great and that is something you can’t but. They are both talented in what they do and most importantly, you can tell they enjoy it which is a plus since it is your wedding day! Some friends even asked if they are willing to travel to another country to do a wedding shoot!

    Every Moment Captured

    Beth and Dan saved us when we unexpectedly lost our original wedding photographer, and we couldn't be more grateful to have worked with them. They're creative, thoughtful, extremely responsive and so fun. We did not have a videographer for the wedding and were initially worried that the feel of the wedding or important moments wouldn't be captured but Dan and Beth left captured EVERYTHING and EVERYONE

    Bethany and Dan are wonderful!

    Bethany and Dan were wonderful to work with for our elopement! They made us feel so comfortable during our session, and the pictures turned out amazing. They met with us a few times before the ceremony to make sure we were on the same page were incredibly helpful as we chose a location. I cannot recommend them enough for your wedding or elopement.

    Beautiful photography in Maine

    Bethany and Dan are great at making you feel comfortable enough to let go, so your personality shines through in their photos. They give great directions, and obviously have a vision in mind for each photo they take. Plus, they're super fun! We had a blast doing something that is often a chore.

    Photography that pulls you in!

    We came across Bethany and Dan in the most unusual way, but are ever so grateful that we did. We love all of our photos and couldn't even begin to select favorites to post here, but went ahead and picked a couple. We chose B&D because their photos make us feel like we are reliving the moment every time we look at them. The motto "Photography so fresh you'll want to slap it" makes me laugh every time; it's so true! The color, the action, and the feelings captured.. they are so talented. Oh, and they were a blast to work with in real life too. Pick them. You won't regret it!

    Creative, Genuine, and Just Plain Fun

    I cannot speak more highly of Bethany and Dan! They were INCREDIBLE to work with. They were super helpful pre-wedding in developing a schedule and setting expectations. We especially appreciated how they were totally game to take photos with us in *5* different locations on our wedding day. And along the way they captured moments big (first kiss!) and small (private moments of laughter and affection) with an authenticity and creativity that simply cannot be staged. Post-wedding they were also amazing, including creating a gif of one moment from our wedding day. We love our wedding photos so much and just wish we had more space to display all of them!!

    Recommend 10/10

    Bethany & Dan........2 words; POWER COUPLE. What an incredible experience working with you both, we could not have asked for a better photography team to work with on our big day. Truly two of the nicest people who have incredible talent and reputation. The turnaround time on final edits and quality of photos truly set you a part from the rest - not to mention the continuous communication and passion you exert throughout the process. Time flies on your wedding day as we all know, with such short time together it couldn't have felt more natural.......literally as if we have known each other for years?! Bethany and Dan, best of luck in the future and thank you again for creating a life time of memories. -

    Hire these people.

    You wedding day will fly by and be over in a flash. All you’ll be left with are memories and photographs. If you want photographers who will help you memorialize every moment- the silly ones, the sentimental ones, the ugly cries, sweet kisses, sweaty, messy dance floor moments, and everything in between- Bethany and Dan are the photographers for you. They are fun and helpful without being intrusive.

    One of our favorite moments from our wedding day was when Bethany and Dan pulled us aside for a few photos during sunset. We got to dance and cuddle and laugh- just the two of us. Bethany and Dan turn photography into play and then turn each image into magic.

    If you are even considering them- look no further and book these incredibly lovely and talented people.

    Highly Recommend Bethany and Dan!

    I cannot overstate how great our experience was with Bethany & Dan at our wedding. Before the wedding we had a few calls with them so we could all get to know each other and learn how they work so by the time the wedding came we had total trust in them and it payed off! They did a great job at setting up wonderful posed photos and capturing natural moments throughout the entire event. All of the photos that came back were excellent and we'll cherish them forever. I highly recommend Bethany & Dan for a special occasion like this.

    13/10, would recommend in a heartbeat!

    Bethany and Dan are, honestly, the best. They were awesome to work with with from the start, and were such a calm and happy presence on our wedding day. Even though we're usually not the type to love being in front of a camera, something about Bethany and Dan made us so much more comfortable to let loose and enjoy the moment. And the fact that they are a couple in love just makes working with them feel that much more fun and authentic – you can really tell they love what they do. Not to mention, they're great at it! We just got our pictures back and they are incredible. From the sweet and thoughtful pre-wedding touches to the sneak-peak post-wedding Instagram posts, Bethany and Dan really nailed it. 13/10, would recommend in a heartbeat!

    Bethany and Dan are the best!

    We were so lucky to have Bethany and Dan as our photographers for our wedding in Freeport, Maine last year. They are fantastic - so easy and fun to work with, so professional and detail-oriented, and their photos are beautiful, too! We love every single one. My husband and I don't have professional photos taken frequently, so we were nervous about looking awkward in our photos. Bethany and Dan assured us that would not happen and then made us so comfortable that it was basically impossible. They also went through every detail of our timeline with us and our planner before our wedding day - they really helped us refine our timeline. They scouted perfect locations for our photos, too. I really can't say enough about how wonderful they are to work with. Several of our guests also commented on how awesome they are and we regularly get compliments on our stunning photos. I would recommend them to any of our friends and look forward to working with them again in the future!

    Talented. Compassionate. Kind. Artists.

    Of all the wedding vendors we hired, and ALL of them were excellent, I truly feel that our wedding day never would have been as amazing as it was without Bethany and Dan. Often it’s the photos the photographers send you AFTER the wedding that you treasure and appreciate, and then decide, yes, we made the right choice in our photographers. We let me tell you, not only did Bethany and Dan create ART out of our favourite wedding moments that have already impressed our friends and family that have seen the photos, but the compassion, professionalism, and care that they showed DURING our wedding were some of the moments I am forever grateful and thankful for. Additionally, they were easy to communicate with before and after the wedding, they got ALL of our photos back to us incredibly quickly, and they give you 100% access to downloading ALL of your photos at the highest resolution. Bethany and Dan are not only THE BEST photographers I have ever had the pleasure of working with, but they are two of the kindest most compassionate people we now consider friends. It is my pleasure to give them my highest of recommendations. They are worth every penny.

    Super service and excellent in the art of photography!

    This review is looooong overdue. Bethany and Dan did a spectacular job! Our wedding was last August and we still look at the photos like it was yesterday. We were thrilled with our photos and impressed with their ninja skills....Somehow always there yet invisible and never overbearing or in the way. Book these guys and you won't regret it! xo

    Bethany and Dan were incredible. They were so easy to work with and they really captured how the day felt. From taking pictures of us dancing outside to catching my grandmother giggling in a corner, they caught all the little details. These guys really made the whole day special and made it possible for us to re-live it when it whenever we want. Do not hesitate to hire them, they are worth every penny and every second of planning and to top it all off, they are truly kind people.

    Bethany and Dan are amazing people and amazing photographers! After our first meeting with them, I knew they were the right fit for us. They have a wonderfully relaxed vibe while conveying that they understand the importance of your wedding day and the part that the photographs play in making memories. They know exactly how to balance lending their opinions and wedding expertise (like how to put on a veil or pin a boutonniere) and being seemingly invisible witnesses as they capture precious moments. The unique perspective and vividness of their photographs bring you back to the rollercoaster of emotions that is your wedding day every time you look at them. The two of them are an outstanding team, and we couldn't be happier that they were a part of our wedding day.

    Thank you guys for being so wonderful!

    Bethany and Dan are simply the best. They are incredible artists and they take beautiful photos. I am so glad I chose them as our photographers for our wedding, because they really have a gift for capturing the best moments in the most beautiful ways. AND they are incredibly kind and wonderful people to have with you on your wedding day! I would recommend them to anyone who wants photos that have an extra artistic touch.
