"We had an incredible experience working with Bethany at Splitrail Studios for both our engagement shoot on the beach and our wedding day photography and videography. Bethany's talent is truly remarkable. She captured every moment beautifully, from the intimate exchanges to the lively celebrations, making each shot a treasured memory.
What stood out the most was her ability to make everyone feel so comfortable and relaxed, which brought out the genuine joy in our photos. She made the entire wedding party feel at ease, and we all had so much fun, which translated perfectly in the shots and videos.
Bethany's attention to detail and creative eye made every frame feel special. We couldn't be happier with how she captured our love story. Highly recommend Splitrail Studios for any special occasion!"
