Nearly one year after our June 2017 wedding... I am finally able to write a review for Ben Wheeler. I am glad I waited to wrote this review. Because as time has passed, I have become even more grateful and appreciative of Ben's work. Our wedding was the second marriage for us and the most important part of it was having our family and friends with us - especially our parents. Sadly, just a few months after our wedding, my husband's father passed away. One of the photos Ben took of him is the last photo we have of him smiling and one we will cherish for the rest of our lives.

We knew Ben was "the one" right after we met him. HE is so easy to talk with, he is sentimental, professional and we wanted a lot of candid shots - more than poised one's. Ben did NOT disappoint! Our Wedding was in the coast of Maine - outdoors. the weather was perfect and Ben helped us capture our wedding, our guests and the amazing beauty that is the coast of Maine. He also captured our "dog" - Jethro perfectly! Our favorite photo is of us and Jethro on the rocks by a lighthouse. Breathtaking and so personal.

Ben stayed the entire night of our wedding and after-party. He blended in so well - many guests thought he was one of the family. You know what - he is! Thank you Ben:)

Throughout the planning, engagement shoot and wedding day Ben was professional and passionate about his work. Ben was flexible and took the time to listen to what we were hoping to get out of our photos. The photos came out beautiful! We highly recommend Ben Wheeler :)

Though Ben didn't know us personally when we asked him to be our photographer, he immediately caught our enthusiasm for the challenging venue. Since our wedding was on an island with no direct boat access, we had to make some adjustments for the tide. Ben rolled with the changes. Not only did we truly enjoy his company, he took the most gorgeous photographs, and captured our personalities perfectly.

My only advice is this... BOOK BEN! If he is available for your date... don't hesitate. Not only did we receive stunning wedding photos but our guests really enjoyed interacting with Ben during our wedding. From date discussion to final product we couldn't be happier with Ben Wheeler Photography.
