About

Thank you again for visiting my link. I would be honored to tell the story of your wedding through my photographs.

I look at weddings in a unique way. In my eyes, a wedding is not just another large family to be arranged into various groups so that they can show off their smiles and fine apparel at your reception. It is far more than a catalog of standard poses for another bride and groom. It is an once-in-a-lifetime story about real individuals and real families. It is a story to be told through indescribable moments of excitement and nervousness, wonder and joy and love.

My goal is to capture your story with my camera. Wedding days are filled with a frenzied activity that rushes by in a blur. When you look through your wedding album, I want you to see memories more meaningful than that of your aunt and uncle smiling by the cake. Yes, you'll want the traditional formal shots, and you'll have them. But you should also have all those usually-lost small but priceless moments to cherish for the rest of your life.

Telling such a detailed story requires taking a lot of pictures. I do. I will be there as long as need be to tell your tale, taking as many as 2,000 or more photographs. And you will get to see every single one of them! In my packages you will find various designed albums included and enlargements. In all of the packages a virtual album of all the pictures is included and in others even the original files are part of the deal print copyrights.

I invite you to see some of my recent work and to get a feel for my style of storytelling at www.benlapid.com. We can then make an appointment to see both my art and my work up close and personal. We can discuss the details of what services you would like in your package or, if needed, we can create a custom package that will reflect your budget and unique requests. After you have met with me and had a chance to see my art, and experience the passion I put into each story, you will find that I have some of the best rates around. I certainly represent the best value for capturing your personal wedding story with passion and artistic flare.

I'll be glad to send you more information. Just call me at (217) 417-0740 or email me at info@benlapid.com .

You have a wonderful story ahead. Let me help you tell it.

Hoping to hear from you,

If you hire Benjamin Lapid as your photographer...I can personally guarantee that you will be thrilled! He is an AMAZING photographer. He recently photographed my wedding and the photographs are phenomenal. Benjamin was extremely flexible as far as scheduling and there is no doubt that he is worth every penny. It is in my opinion that you receive far more for your money than what he charges. Benjamin is high end quality for moderate price. The real gem, however, is Benjamin himself. He is so funny and has a way of relieving stress....believe me, a skill most definitely needed in Weddings. I was all over the place because my wedding planners were less than stellar...however, Benjamin was there helping me take my mind off what I thought was going wrong. I know that many years from now, when i think about my wedding, I will remember what was right with my wedding....and hiring Benjamin was definitely on top of the list. I would whole heartedly recommend Benjamin Lapid as your photographer. There are not enough accolades in the English language that can accurate describe Benjamin's work. He is by far the best photographer known to man, and you cannot go wrong with him!

i'm the father of the groom; i knew nothing about Ben, just that he was recommended by the bride's family. the guy was great, reliable, friendly, not at all annoying like many others in the business, incredibly energetic especially during the group dancing, for the family pics before the wedding he had good ideas about the composition of each picture, he really sounded like somebody that knows his stuff; he had what it looked like top notch equipment.
Sooo, the day after the wedding i was left with a very good feeling about the photographer...but i still had not seen the final product...
When i finally saw the album...it was truly amazing!!! The first thought that came to my mind is that this guy is more than a commercial photographer, he is an artist!!! He is putting his heart into the creation of a perfectly composed artistic product! The quality of each picture was extraordinary! He captured amazing pictures in all the moving/dancing scenes! But above all, the way that each album page was designed was to my taste an incredible artistic creation!!!
I own a company involved with study tours in Europe for college students and I am now seriously thinking of hiring Ben to produce some of our marketing materials. It is clear that he has very good taste!
Regarding the price, it was very reasonable, actually considering the high quality artistic value it was extremely reasonable. I highly recommend him. I have two single daughters and I already know who the photographer will be at their weddings!
p.s. feel free to contact me if you need further details

Benny was amazing! He was great from the first time we discussed what we wanted, to helping us plan on the timing and logistics, throughout the actual wedding and then when we edited the selected pictures for the album.
It really was a great pleasure working with him. He makes your life easier so you have one less thing to worry/ stress about... and then at the end the pictures are gorgeous. Everyone has been so impressed with the quality and angles and unique shots he got. And the layout looks fantastic. I am so so happy we worked with Benny and no matter what you are looking for, he can adjust the album and style to work for your needs. A definite pick for any future bride!

Benny went with us to our daughter's wedding in Mexico. He had already done their engagement pictures and then also came back and did their reception pictures. They are without a doubt the best pictures I have ever seen!!! If you are wanting just a photographer that takes one or two pictures, then Benny is not the guy for you. We have pictures of every minute of her wedding and reception and we just ooooh and ahhhh every time we pick up the wedding book that he put together. There has not been one time that anybody has said they wished we had a picture of whatever because we have a picture of everything you could ever think of thanks to him!

Benny left me and my family speechless...and that is tough to do. He is now considered a family friend, in fact. Looking through the album, he told the story from the beginning to the very end and gave us an album that we can cherish forever. He gets it. He is there for every special moment and captures it on camera in such a unique and artistic way. I don't know how he does it, but his pictures can show a complete stranger about the emotions and relationships of the people in them. He is a great person and makes everyone feel like part of the special day. I can't say enough great things about him and his photography! Definitely someone you want to be a part of your engagement and wedding day!!! He is absolutely the BEST!

Almost 3 years have passed since our wedding day, I've attended many weddings since then, and even been in a few since our special day. I can truly say with full confidence that Benny was the best choice of photographer for our wedding. My pictures and album exceed in quality and detail from every other person I know. People continue to look through our album with awe as they continue to uncover the intricate amounts of detail and time that went into making our day, truly about us. Benny was extremely appreciative that my husband was serving our country and thanked us by providing a discount on his services and getting our album to us before my husband deployed just a short time following our wedding. Here's how I remember it.. I could tell from his work that I had nothing to worry about on our wedding day. I provided a list of "must-have" pictures and honestly didn't even need to provide that, because he is so on top of capturing every moment of your day. Not only did he show up early in the morning but stayed long after my husband and I left the reception to continue capturing the final moments of the reception. Benny professionally took charge in organizing family and friends for formal pictures and even managed to get 150 people together for a group picture. He truly made the day about us, going wherever we wanted to get special outdoor pictures, pictures at the home where I grew up, etc. not once making us feel rushed or like we were asking too much. Benny is friendly, easy to work with, helpful and more importantly creative. Your pictures will be unique and of high quality. Finally, Benny went above and beyond by adding extra pages to our book at no charge and even stopped by our rehearsal to snap a few pictures (even though it wasn't in our contract). I can guarantee that choosing him as your wedding photographer will be one of the best choices you will make for your special day. I have many many many more good things to say about this high quality photographer. You will not be disappointed. God Bless. -Rachel

It’s a shame the computer will only allow 5 stars - we would have loved to give 10! We still can’t get over what an amazing photographer Benny is! His dedication surpassed all our expectations, arriving at the wedding hall even before the bride and leaving long after the event was officially over. With over 3,000 pictures, Benny captured every possible moment throughout our special day, including make-up application and split-second occurrences. He has a unique style which we loved. With warmth and humor, he put everyone at ease-guests and relatives alike. Within 2 weeks of our wedding, we received our photographs, of stunning quality, many with cool effects already in place! Once we chose our pictures, an album was speedily created, each page incorporating many pictures with breathtaking design, telling the story in a way only Benny can. With great flexibility, he allowed us to create the album of our dreams. The size, beauty, clarity, and collage effect of our album still stuns us and all who see it! All in all, with his great service, quality, personality and professionalism, we highly recommend Benny Lapid and feel we couldn’t have made a better choice for our wedding day.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
