Benny is amazing, we love him, and you should definitely book him for your event!
We are so so happy that we chose Benny to be our wedding photographer! We were looking for a photographer whose editing style was real-to-life/vibrant with a romantic flair. Our wedding planner had given us a few names to look into to see who might work with us best. We had talked with a couple other photographers but, after our first meeting with Benny, we knew he was the one for us.
Benny was so friendly, professional, and enthusiastic about his work. He was always so approachable and responsive to messages. I never had a doubt about getting in touch with him through email or text. We loved that he wanted to get to know us as a couple and as people and we also really loved getting to know him, how he got started in this career, and what keeps him motivated to continue doing this career that he loves.
His passion was also very evident when “out on the field” during our photo sessions. Even though Eric and I are not very natural when it comes to taking photos, he made it incredibly easy to look natural even when posed without making us feel awkward. We loved and trusted his artistic eye for what would look good in photos and his dedication to getting those photos, even if that meant crouching or lying on the ground!
It was so much fun getting to work with him the three times that we did for our engagement shoot, our Vu Quy Vietnamese ceremony, and our wedding day. We had a great time on each day and especially on our wedding day, working with both Benny and James. Working closely with our planner and coordinator, they were able to help keep us on track throughout the day to the point of being ahead of schedule because we were so efficiently getting the necessary photos done that we even had time to take some extra couple and bridal party photos. They were a fun team to work with. There was a lot of singing, dancing, and laughing with this crew and it was such a good time! He got along well not only with us but with our families and friends. Our parents and bridal party loved working with him as well and they remember him fondly when thinking back on our wedding day.
In addition to how wonderful he was on the days he photographed us, although it wasn’t not guaranteed to get them so quickly, he worked diligently to get out the photos relatively quickly to us and not a detriment to the quality of the photos. For our engagement shoot, he sent us the whole album of photos in a little over a week; for our wedding weekend, he gave us little sneak peeks starting a week out from our wedding day and, a little less than 1 month from our wedding day, he was able to get our entire album of photos to us, all beautifully edited and organized from start to finish. Needless to say but I’ll say it anyway, we LOVE LOVE LOVE our photos. He took special care to get everything that we wanted photographed. I’m a picture lover and I’ve looked through our photos over and over the past week. I still can’t get over how amazing they are and have really enjoyed thinking back to the memories that were captured.
Although we knew it was important to get a good photographer, we never could have imagined how fun it could be until we chose ours. We’re so happy with our experience and can’t thank Benny enough for capturing our love and essence so perfectly. Best believe that, as long as he’s working, he’ll be our photographer for life!
