About

I photograph weddings with my wife Deanna, and we love our job. As a husband and wife team, we offer two perspectives when we capture all of the details and emotions throughout your day. Deanna and I have been together for a long time, and we look forward to working with you as you start the next chapter of your life.

Wonderful experience

Ben was always quick to respond and happy to give recommendations and accommodate requests during the planning process.
For our engagement pictures we went to a park and included our 2 dogs in part of the shoot. He was happy to work with them and made sure to take lots of shots to account for their unpredictability. We got some very cute and funny pictures with them.
Working with him and his wife, Deanna, it felt easy and comfortable and they were always happy to go with the flow. Ben likes to make dad jokes and is always very positive and encouraging. He loves finding spots for beautiful, unique, and/or fun pictures and will try to bring out your personality in the photos. Deanna is very friendly and helpful and makes sure the details look right for your pictures. She also was quick to jump in and help guide my attendants through lacing up my corset and bustling my dress. They obviously have a lot of experience and seemed prepared for every situation. They make a great team.
We got a lot of compliments about them from our guests.

Above and beyond

Ben and Deanna were incredible photographers for our wedding day! They were so easy to work with, keeping things moving along while also ensuring everyone was having fun. Our wedding was on a hot summer day, and they truly went above and beyond to keep us all cool while maintaining professional photography. We were blown away by both the amount and quality of our wedding photos and would recommend them to anybody!

Absolutely Amazing Experience

Ben and Deanna are absolutely amazing. They definitely know what they are doing which helped since neither of me or my husband had actually been in the wedding party before our own wedding. Ben and Deanna helped us to stay on schedule for picture sessions and they helped with every additional detail for a perfect day. We received our photos back from our wedding and they are breathtaking - we are completely satisfied with the quality and diversity of photos that were taken. We were thankful to receive all of the photos too, and not just the top photos that our photographer thought were best. We would 10/10 recommend Ben Saefke Photography for your wedding or photography session.

Absolutely Amazing!

Ben and Deanna were absolutely the MOST amazing team to have capture our wedding day. They made us and our friends and family all feel so relaxed in front of the camera and captured beautifully everything from the planned to candid moments throughout every part of the day. Deana did such a special job adjusting those little touches to make pictures extra perfect, and Ben had a way of capturing my husband and I's joy and love in the photos he took so wonderfully. I couldn't sing higher praises for this amazing team!

The dream photography team!

Ben Saefke Photography did a phenomenal job capturing our wedding day! Ben's communication is excellent, and he always responded to my emails promptly. Ben took our engagement photos and gave us SO MANY pictures- it was hard to choose our favorites! I appreciated the digital access we had to all of our edited photos.

Ben was also helpful in creating a realistic timeline for photos the day of my wedding. I appreciated his communication prior to our big day, so we knew what to expect. The day of our wedding Ben did an excellent job coordinating large groups of people, but making sure my husband and I did not feel stressed. They made everything enjoyable! Ben's wife Deanna was our second shooter, and she was an absolute dream to have! Deanna was so detail oriented and she was constantly adjusting my veil, train, and my hair before pictures. They work so well together, and our pictures turned out amazing! My husband and I chose the package to receive a hardcover wedding photo album, and we love it. My family all raved at how wonderful they were to work with- I absolutely recommend working with Ben and Deanna for your big day!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

I have worked with Ben multiple times at wedding events and every time I am impressed with him and his wife Deanna on the photos they take and how they are so easy going, fun and professional they are. We have created a great relationship and I use Ben for my family and personal pictures. If you are looking for a photographer that captures the natural and real moments of your event you need to have Ben & Deanna at your event. Most of all...they are FUN to be around!
