What people are saying:

“Working with Bethany for our wedding was such an amazing experience. She is beyond talented in every single aspect of what she does. From the way she captures moments so naturally, to the beautiful way she edits her photos, to how she carries herself as a true professional throughout the entire experience.

What makes Bethany so special is that her talent feels completely effortless. She has such a creative eye and knows exactly how to turn even the smallest moments into something breathtaking. Every photo filled with emotion that truly captured the beauty of the day. Looking through our gallery felt like reliving the entire day all over again.

Beyond her incredible work, Bethany has such a warm and calming presence. She makes you feel instantly comfortable, like you’re just spending time with one of your best friends. She made us feel so relaxed and confident in front of the camera, and that comfort truly shines through in every single photo.

I cannot recommend her enough. If you are looking for someone who will beautifully capture your memories while making the entire experience feel effortless and enjoyable, Vessel of Light Studio is absolutely the way to go.”

“Our wedding pictures came out so dreamy!! Bethany managed to capture the feelings of romance and excitement on our big day with myself and my husband in the garden peeping through flowers, over a bridge under my veil, and all the perfect cameos of ourselves and our loved ones on our special day. She was so sweet and made us feel so comfortable and we couldn’t be happier with our wedding album!!!”
