A dream come true! We were so lucky to find Brittany. The photos she took of our elopement are breathtaking and have been instrumental as we share the news with loved ones! Everyone is in awe of the photos. But not only this, Brittany is joyful presence. She was the only person to witness our elopement and we worried it would feel awkward, and we were proven wrong! She helped make our day fun and all about us. We want to be friends with her IRL! Anyways, please hire Bee Two Sweet-- you will not regret it!

Brittany and Johnny from Bee Two Sweet are not only talented photographers but are kind and caring human beings! They were very responsive and full of creative ideas when we reached out to them for an engagement session. We wanted a different take on photos with the Cherry Blossoms, and they suggested a sunset into night session that riffed on our New Year's wedding theme -- not only are the photos gorgeous, but Brittany and Johnny were patient (we got stuck in traffic and were late) and made the whole experience a lot of fun. We booked them for our wedding in 2020, and then the pandemic hit. Brittany kept in regular contact with us, checking-in and offering suggestions as our plans changed, and let us know their boundaries. With everything up in the air, Brittany made sure photography was not something we were worried about. We went from having a large wedding to an intimate ceremony, and Brittany captured everything beautifully. Our family loved her, and everyone is raving about the pictures. We can't recommend Bee Two Sweet enough -- you'll get great photos taken by great people.

Brittany was incredible to work with, from the planning stage all the way to execution and thereafter. I had a vague idea of how I wanted to propose, and with Brittany's knowledge of the area and expertise we created the perfect plan. When it came time, my now fiancé was none the wiser to Brittany there capturing the moment. We then had a group of friends waiting to surprise her, and Brittany was easily able to take control and capture some wonderful group pictures plus plenty of candids as well.

Later that day we received 20 or so "Sneak Peak" pictures, which was perfect for sharing online not too soon after. We got the rest later that week, and the quality was outstanding. They're conveniently shared through a webpage made personally for you, that only you and whoever you choose have access to. This was great to send to relatives so that they could view the images, and download/buy prints if they wanted.

And again, the quality of the pictures is worth every penny. All in all, we were so happy to work with Brittany and we would highly recommend her to anyone for a special occasion that they want documented!

I've worked with Bee Two Sweet on two separate occasions and they have excelled my expectations ABOVE AND BEYOND BOTH TIMES. If you are searching for a photographer, then stop looking -- because YOU HAVE FOUND ONE! Just look at their Instagram page and fall IN LOVE with what they can create. What you can expect? Professional recommendations on what goes/doesn’t go in your frame, creativity of how to compose shots, and a friendly work crew who you’ll remember forever!

Brittany is an enthusiastic personality, which is key for making her subjects comfortable about trying things. If a photographer always feels inspired and excited about their surroundings, it's infectious to everyone else. There's plenty of anxiety in having one's picture taken, and group dynamics are even more challenging, so having a photographer not hyper focused on getting a 'smile' out of you, but instead focusing on the setting, surroundings and getting getting great shots allowed us to get comfortable gradually let down our guard. Having a great photographer and a people person take the weight off of making it 'about us', which can often make getting photos taken feel like a chore. Brittany's energy in doing the job helped us relax very quickly and we were able to forget about ourselves, relax and get great pictures as a result. It was fun!

Bee Two Sweet was the perfect compliment to our wedding. Our venue and plan was a bit non-traditional, and having now looked at the photos, I can appreciate the tools they used and thought they put in to capture amazing photos without asking us to compromise on our dream day in any way. In fact, they showed endless excitement towards our ideas and elevated them into the photos we dreamed they could be. They were organized, brilliantly kind, and generous with their time. We are walking away with a very personal capture of one of the happiest days in our lives, as well as a joyous set of engagement photos. I look at these photos every day with a smile on my face.

I cannot say enough good things about Bee Two Sweet Photography. We received SO MANY compliments on our photographers during and after the wedding because they are literally everywhere and can make photos happen, even if you're camera shy and have weird quirks like me! Brittany can wrangle a big crowd with ease, so if you have a big family and a strict timeline, Brittany is your girl. I could brag all day about how great they are to work with, but their PHOTOS really do speak for themselves. If you've ever looked at their work, you will see so much creativity behind every photo. They dare to be different, they take shots others shy away from, and they capture moments. We wanted candid photos and we definitely got them. I probably looked through their portfolio hundreds of times even after hiring them, because they are amazing and beyond every other portfolio I looked at. Brittany gives direction well, so after a few photos, you start to know what to expect. They also adjusted on the fly when our reception timeline didn't go as planned. They are the best people to work with and we can't wait to see the rest of the photos. You will NOT be disappointed. If photography is your number one priority, like it was for me, go with Bee Two Sweet. You will be so happy you did.

We put a bug in Bee Two Sweet’s ear about shooting our wedding right after we got engaged; this is how badly we knew we wanted Brittany Diliberto to shoot our wedding. And boy oh boy is it one of the best decisions we have ever made. With their creativity, talent, and “go team!” attitudes, Bee Two Sweet (the phenomenal wife and husband team of Brittany Diliberto and Johnny Shryock) has captured our wedding in ways we couldn’t have imagined. Bee Two Sweet conceived of and orchestrated so many gorgeous shots - and silly ones, too - that truly document not just any pretty wedding, but *our* sentimental, playful, and uniquely individual New Year’s Eve wedding. For example, my wife and I originally were not going to do a first look but when Britt said “Ok. That’s great. But can I float an idea by you? ... CONFETTI CANNONS!”, we got really excited and switched up our plan. And the experience of it was a blast - it wasn’t all about getting the shot, but about having a wonderful, playful time and then capturing the amazing time we were having on film. Our guests also had fun with the midnight countdown confetti - another idea of Brittany’s. Many a boomerang was shared on Insta of friends and family playing in confetti at our wedding. And the photos that came out of that midnight countdown: EPIC. It should also be noted that Brittany and Johnny work seamlessly as a team and are super generous and kind with everyone - they made a huge impression on our family and friends. And on us. You end up spending a fair amount of time with your photographers on your wedding day and we had so much fun hanging with Brittany and Johnny. They are individually amazing humans with tremendous talent, and together they are an unstoppable force and #relationshipgoals. We are beyond thrilled to have worked with Bee Two Sweet for our wedding and so grateful for their flawless documentation of our once-in-a-lifetime celebration. I cannot urge you strongly enough to book them for your special day.

Working with Brittany and Johnny were absolutely the highlight of our wedding! We met them at a wedding expo and immediately fell in love with their colorful and candid style. The engagement shoot in Old Town was so much fun and we are so in love with the photos from that day. We'd never had professional photos taken like this so we were a little nervous, but Brittany immediately put us at ease with her super friendly and welcoming personality. We were so happy that Johnny was able to join and help out as well! I'd definitely recommend doing the engagement shoot if you can -- it absolutely made taking photos much easier on the day of the wedding since we'd already developed a bit of a rapport. The actual wedding was magical. Brittany and Johnny showed up early to scout out the venue and figure out the best shots, and were always on the lookout for that perfect picture -- even if it comes right before the toasts! We did a good bit of prep on the phone before the wedding arrived, so we knew exactly what to expect and where to be at all times --- which meant we spent as little time as possible on the posed family shots and more time enjoying our day! All of our guests commented on how much fun they had with Johnny and Brittany around. I can honestly say that we don't think we would have the same amazing day without Brittany and Johnny there to capture it all. We loved all of our vendors, but hands down BeeTwoSweet was the best! We feel so lucky that we were able to work with them and would recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Brittany was so easy to work with and helped me surprise my now fiance at the Kennedy Center. Her energy and enthusiasm is very genuine. Her photos are amazing and we were blessed to have her there to capture the moments before and after the proposal. Her tips were perfect, but she also just let us be ourselves. We can't wait to work with her again!

Bee Two Sweet Photography is truly a level above any photographer out there. Owners Brittany and Johnny were an absolute dream to work with. We discovered them purely by chance when we heard a radio ad for a wedding expo that was happening in our area the very next day. My husband and I thought, "what the heck, it could be fun." We saw a few photographers that day and looked through their portfolios, but when we walked by the Bee Two Sweet booth two things stuck with us -- their photos were on another level, and we felt an immediate connection with Johnny (Brittany was speaking with other people that day). We later met with both of them later in the week and decided that there was no other choice. During the planning phases, Brittany and Johnny both made great suggestions to enhance our ideas. They also helped us organize our "family portraits" to make sure no one was missed. On our wedding day, Brittany and Johhny not only helped us ease our anxiety, they made us feel completely comfortable and were cracking jokes during our portraits. During the ceremony and reception, they were virtually invisible and completely unobtrusive, so we really didn't notice them, but they captured all of the best moments. Our photos are so beautiful. The colors and detail are exquisite. I would proudly, 100 percent absolutely recommend Bee Two Sweet to any couple looking for a photographer. Brittany and Johnny are the absolute best choice, hands down.

Lauren & Brad - Backyard Wedding

It was truly an amazing experience to have Brittany and Johnny photograph our wedding! I was very impressed with how organized and responsive they both were during the planning process and how they listened to my ideas and needs. While I was getting ready for my wedding, Brittany captured moments that I didn't know would be so meaningful and powerful until I saw the pictures. You could definitely tell that she is a seasoned wedding photographer because she sensed my anxieties about my DIY wedding and gave me welcomed guidance and help outside of photography. During the ceremony, I didn't even notice her around... but when I received my pictures, it was very apparent that she covered every special moment. During the family pictures, I requested that we keep the pace going since some family members like to trail off, and she did it flawlessly. During our couple pictures, Brittany and Johnny bounced ideas around for poses to try that would fit the type of couple that we are. I am very thankful that people like Brittany and Johnny exist. Without their expertise, knowledge, guidance, creativity, patience, and ability to think on their feet, we wouldn't have epic pictures that truly captured our unique personalities. And an added bonus-- Brittany and Johnny are truly amazing human beings and brought nothing but positive vibes and tranquility to our wedding!

If I can give Bee Two Sweet all the stars - I would! First, Brittany and Johnny did an outstanding and amazing job for our engagement photos and our wedding day. My husband and I had a very fun and enjoyable engagement photo session with Brittany and Johnny. They MOST definitely brought their A game. Gave us really good directions on what to do and how to pose. Add some very much needed humor from the Brittany and Johnny, and they definitely loosened up two very camera shy people (that would be my husband and I). Our engagement photos turned out amazing, despite the gloomy weather and humidity. Bee Two Sweet had it down! Our photos were delivered within a week's time. Second, Fast forward to our wedding - Brittany and Johnny tag teamed our wedding day! Johnny took some "getting ready" photos of the groom and groomsmen then headed over to my room to get pictures of my mom and my bridal party. After the ceremony - Brittany stuck to our proposed wedding shot list, and got everyone moving right along. She allotted some much needed time for my husband and I to take our own couple photos after the ceremony. She had it down and did not miss a beat! While Johnny is back at the venue taking pictures of our wedding details for the reception. They were moving along with us during the reception photos, snapping photos of my husband and I, our friends and families in action on the dance floor. Lastly, EVERYONE...i mean EVERYONE at our wedding enjoyed Brittany and Johnny. They were enthusiastic, fun, and were very willing to take picture requests from our guests! Thank you Bee Two Sweet Photography! You were truly such a pleasure to work with - NO DOUBT! Long Story short - HIRE them, you will not regret it.

Brittany & Johnny are the best! Brad & I met them at a Wedding Expo in Baltimore & we were blown away by their portfolios. Brittany has a way with lighting that will make you look like a damn movie star! During the wedding & reception, they touched base with us to be sure that we got the shots that we wanted; other than that, they were everywhere & nowhere. Looking at the pictures after the wedding and I'm like "They got that shot? I don't even remember them being in the room" :) Brad & I are already talking about anniversary photo shoots & renewing our vows (many years down the line) & we already know the photographers we want to use. If you use any other photographers for your big event, you will be disappointed.

I could not imagine having a more perfect experience with photographers! They are attentive, professional, efficient, friendly, and ALWAYS go the extra mile to capture amazing moments! The photos of our wedding day are even better than we ever imagined. I personally do not like having my photo taken, but they made me feel comfortable and not awkward at all.

This is the second time my family has used Bee Two Sweet for a wedding, and both times they were amazing. Brittany and Johnny truly captured the spirit of our day and were genuinely lovely to be around. It is obvious that they love what they do, and are exceptional at it.

We loved them and will cherish the photos forever. HIGHLY recommend.

I can't say enough how amazing Brittany and Johnny are! We were lucky to have them take both engagement photos as well as for our elopement (after COVID changed up our plans for a big wedding). While we picked a classic DC spot - the Lincoln Memorial - for our engagement photos, Brittany has the vision and creativity to create the photos that no one else has. It was totally worth the very early wakeup to catch the sunrise! And they captured the joy, and all of the other emotions of our wedding day just perfectly - along with some pretty amazing photos at the Franciscan Monastery Gardens. We couldn't be more thrilled with the photos, and how easy and fun Brittany and Johnny are to work with - and can't wait to have them photograph our larger celebration later this year!

Brittany and Johnny are absolutely AMAZING! We cannot express how blown away we were by our wedding portraits!

First, I want to commend them on being so generous as to have a such an amazing and thoughtful "backup plan" after not being able to shoot our wedding [due to covid]. We were deeply touched that they still were able to give us some of the most amazing photos ever.

Second, Brittany's level of organization and planning was absolutely on POINT! As a super type A person myself, I can honestly say that I know she would have had a level of structure and order that I would have been ecstatic to see play out.

Third, the level of creativity and thoughtfulness that went into every pose and angle was a sign of such dedication to us as well as their craft. We respect and appreciate that!

Fourth, the energy was off the chain. We vibed so well with them, that even when the sun was setting and it was getting so cold, we toughened it out because we knew that the photos would be worth it (and they absolutely were)!

Fifth, the level of attention to detail and direction was amazing. We were never confused or waiting idly for instructions or guidance. They came with a vision and had a plan and were able to direct us accordingly. If something looked awkward or bad, they would let us know and fix us, or tell us what to do.

Overall, I could literally go on and on about how great Brittany and Johnny are, but it wouldn't even do the justice. All this to say, we HIGHLY recommended BeeTwoSweet for some absolutely SWEET pics!

The stars truly aligned for us when we found out Johnny was free to shoot our fall wedding. He and Brittany were the photographers for my brothers wedding and truly blew it out of the park with their unreal shots. Their organized and honest communication from the very beginning was so appreciated and they helped us every step of the way. We are forever grateful for Johnny’s calm, artistic and fun vibe. He is a TRUE MASTER of the candid shot. He was so easy to work with and politely suggested specific shots while also going nearly unnoticed. My husband and I were in tears when we saw our wedding album. Our love and the magic of our wedding weekend radiates from the photos. I could not recommend the @beetwosweet team enough to shoot your special day. They truly are a genuine, kind, incredibly talented and dynamic couple. When your wedding is finished, it is such a precious gift to look back and re-live the beauty of it through the photos. We can’t begin to thank Johnny enough for allowing us to fully embrace the present moment of our wedding day while he worked diligently to create the digital memories for a lifetime.

We worked with Brittany and Johnny for our January 2020 wedding and they were phenomenal! They’re both total pros but also a blast to hang out with. Both our engagement and our wedding photos turned out beautifully and were delivered so quickly! Several of our guests commented on how impressed they were with the fact that Brittany and Johnny seemed to be everywhere and getting shots of everything. Additionally, they were so helpful about guiding us through the wedding process overall, from building timelines to calming us down and still getting amazing shots when our venue started being really difficult the day of. They definitely went above and beyond and we couldn’t imagine having worked with anyone else!

We worked with Brittany and Johnny for our engagement photos and we could not have found a better duo to work with! Brittany worked with us from the beginning helping us to chose the perfect location and giving advice on the perfect outfits to wear. It can feel super awkward being photographed but they made us feel at ease and guided us throughout the session. We had such a great time taking our engagement photos. The photos came out better than we ever could have imagined! You can tell through their work that they are passionate about what they do. We would absolutely recommend them to anyone looking for professional photographer.

My husband and I had a private courthouse ceremony during pandemic-times. Brittany was so great about helping us think through options for a socially distant ceremony and portrait session, setting up to grab candids coming out of the courthouse, and spending a couple hours with us playing in the park and creating beautiful photos to share with our family and friends who couldn't be with us. We had a blast just hanging out together in the park and enjoying the first two hours of our marriage, and came away with photos that we will treasure forever. Brittany is fun, supportive, and incredibly skilled. She made our day all the more special.

It was love at first sight when we met Brittany and Johnny at a wedding expo last year. Their portfolio was literally breathtaking, but their personalities were really what drew us in. The pricing and packages are simple and straightforward, really a bargain for the VALUE and QUALITY. Our consultation was very organized and professional. We could tell we were working with seasoned veterans. During the wedding Brittany and Johnny were like magicians, seemingly invisible but right always there capturing the moment! They went to great lengths to gain the perfect angle for every shot. Our guests were even impressed by their agility and flexibility. We couldn't be more happy with the service we received. Brittany and Johnny showed so much care in making sure our wedding day was special. They even stayed much longer than they had to because they were so committed to capturing every special moment. We had an amazing experience with Brittany and Johnny and cannot thank them enough. They are a MUST HIRE for your special event!

Brittany and Johnny were the absolute best vendors that we worked with during our wedding process...and our pictures are INCREDIBLE! They are genuinely lovely people and were super flexible in making sure to get to know us prior to our wedding since we did not do engagement pictures. Day of, Brittany and Johnny were the ultimate professionals and happily stepped in to help out whenever needed. I keep hearing from our guests how lovely they were. We got our pictures way ahead of schedule and couldn't be happier with them.

Johnny and Brittany are such incredible photographers! I knew the moment I met them that it would be exactly what we wanted for our big day. Our engagement shoot was AMAZING and when they arrived on our wedding day to begin shooting I felt like I was reunited with close friends the moment I saw them. They have a unique talent that captures each moment in its truest and most beautiful form. I don’t even have words for how grateful we are that they were a part of our big day. If you are looking for a team that is seamless, professional, talented, down to earth, full of positivity, and ridiculously amazing at their craft you have to hire Bee Two Sweet. This was the best decision we made when choosing vendors for our wedding. All I can say is thank you!!!

It's hard to say anything about Brittany and Johnny that their pictures don't already say for them. I met them at a wedding expo I went to on a whim very early in planning and fell in love with them. Their easy going personality and absolutely GORGEOUS photos were an immediate sell for me. It was really important for me to have a photographer I got along with since I'd be spending so much of the day with them and it was very obvious Brittany was that person. Johnny did an amazing job with the boys and working the crowd, I kept hearing "I went to take a selfie and he just popped up and took it for us and snapped one as well". The man is everywhere all at once. On a very stressful day Bee Two Sweet photography was one thing I knew I didn't have to worry about.

Hiring Bee Two Sweet was hands down the best and easiest decision we made while planning our wedding. When we met them at a wedding expo, we immediately knew they were the ones! We were not only impressed with their work, but we felt an immediate connection with them. They knew exactly what we wanted and they delivered. Working with them was effortless and extremely fun! Our engagement session with Brittany at the zoo was so much fun! She thinks outside the box and came up with some cool lighting effects that took our picutes over the top. She patiently waited with us until she had the perfect shot we wanted with the seals (even as we were almost being kicked out of the zoo).

On our wedding day, Brittany and Johnny arrived an hour earlier than their contract time and immediately got to work taking beautiful pictures while getting ready, and even working with our dog to snap a couple of pictures of her. They were super creative and worked to highlight the architectural features of our hotel for some gorgeous pictures.

At the ceremony and reception, they interacted with the guests and captured every moment seamlessly. We enjoyed their company so much we even forgot they were there to work. Our families and guests absolutely loved them! In less than two weeks after the wedding they already had already created an album of the highlights that we could look at while they processed the rest of thousands of pictures. We cannot recommend them enough!! They are quality photographers and an absolute delight to work with. We can’t wait to work with them again!

Hilary & Matt - Lydia Mountain Lodge and Cabins

I cannot recommend BeeTwoSweet Photography enough!
Service: Brittany was patient and pleasant to work with yet assertive enough to wrangle all of my friends and family into amazing group photos that we will cherish. She helped us scout locations near our wedding venue for our "first look" photos and walked us through quite a few classic and contemporary poses while being open to and interested in our ideas and suggestions. Throughout the ceremony and reception Brittany managed to document every significant moment and many candid, casual instances that made the day so wonderful.

Product: I am a photographer and I have to say, I am completely blown-away and the images Brittany made. Her background in theatrical lighting design is apparent in her decisions. It was obvious that she had a thorough understanding of her equipment and a keen sense of the visual environment around us during the shoots.

In short: She nailed-it!!

Rachel & Luke - Liberty Mountain Resort

Dear Brittany & Johnny, Thank you very much for capturing every moment of Rachel & Luke's wedding. Your presence never felt intrusive and you were always there precisely when it was necessary. Blending in is such a crucial trait in a great photographer as well as helping people to feel comfortable in front of the camera. Your skills in these areas appear to be spot on. I am looking forward to seeing your photos more than I can say because I just loved every moment of the wedding. I am still on Cloud Nine!! A former English teacher of mine said you should never thank a person twice in the same note, but I am breaking her rule. Thank you again, from the bottom of my heart, for shooting all the highlights of the first of what I hope will be many fantastic celebrations in our family's life. May you continue to have great success.

Yours truly,
The mother of the bride

Elizabeth & Dan - Meadowlark Atrium

I knew having a great photographer was going to be one of the top 3 important things for our wedding (along with food & DJ), so I was prepared to be discerning in our search. Bottom line - We 100% made the right call hiring Bee Two Sweet and we loved them. We met Brittany & Johnny at an expo and their booth was incredible compared to so many of the other photographers there. They displayed so many shots that were clearly candid yet managed to have amazing lighting, color, drama, energy... Tons of professionals can capture a great angle or beam of light, but these two obviously had a talent for understanding how to put the artistry in their photojournalism in a way that showed you the STORY of each couple or wedding, not just the way they looked. Learning that they both had backgrounds in technical theatre, this made complete sense. They understand how to tell a story in a visual medium. Not only were they clearly talented, but both Brittany & Jonny are incredibly friendly! Quick to smile and make a joke, it felt like we were going to be working with old friends. We booked them immediately :-D As I'd said, these guys were the best vendor we had for our wedding, really going above and beyond more than anyone else we had. Here are some specifics on why -- 1) Advice & manner -- My DH hates being photographed. I got us the package with the engagement sessions, and Brittany explained that this was a valuable opportunity for him to get used to the camera, so he wouldn't be feeling uncomfortable on our wedding day. Excellent advice and Brittany was wonderful at talking to him during our shoot so that he got over some of that unease. Her ability to quickly create rapport really helped us have a great time downtown as we took our photos. 2) Communication & forethought -- We were able to text, FaceTime, and email with Brittany and Johnny, which made scheduling and planning a breeze. I was especially pleased that they were sure to create our spreadsheet of family shots well ahead of time, so that on the day, we wouldn't be scrambling to track down great-aunts or toddlers. These guys were always responsive to our questions and concerns, and they were one step ahead on advising us how we could make our lives easier. 3) Empathy & flexibility -- I had to have a medical treatment the month before our wedding and unexpectedly started to lose my hair 2 weeks before the big day. I was devastated and panicky. I told Brittany & Johnny what was happening, and they generously suggested we do a small shoot of me and my DH before the big day while I still had my hair. We went to one of my favorite parks on a Tuesday with Johnny and, dressed in our wedding best, we got some portraits of the two of us with me looking like myself. This was not something they were contractual obligated to do, but it spoke volumes about their kindness and their desire for us to have the best photos possible for this important event. How many other photographers would have done that for us without charging us extra? True heroes to me, in that moment. Of course, on the day, they were stellar. Barely noticed that they were there at the ceremony, we did some gorgeous formals (they were very conscious of my energy limits, the dears), they suggested some shots that I now cherish, and the candids from the reception are outstanding! Amazing quality photos from two thoroughly professional, empathetic, and fun souls. Completely worth their fee. I adore these two. Thank you, guys!!!
