Look no further than Ben for your wedding photography!

Ben has our highest recommendation. He captured our wedding beautifully through his photography, and he went above and beyond in every way. It was incredible to see his shots of scenes that we would have otherwise missed, and then share his photos with our loved ones who could not attend. The editing style is natural, elegant, and timeless. We have already received countless compliments from our friends and family. We will treasure these photos forever!

Best Wedding Photographers Ever!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely phenomenal — the best photographers we could have ever imagined!

We truly cannot say enough amazing things about Ben and Erin. From our engagement shoot to our wedding weekend in Charleston, they captured every single moment with such artistry, emotion, and love. The photos are beyond incredible. Every time we look through them (which is A LOT), we’re blown away all over again. We get endless compliments from family and friends who say they’re the best wedding photos they’ve ever seen!

Ben and Erin are not only unbelievably talented, but also such genuine, kind, and easy people to work with. They made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera, and their presence added such calm, positive energy to the entire experience. They captured candid moments we didn’t even realize were happening and turned them into timeless, breathtaking images we’ll treasure forever.

Choosing them was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. We could not be happier or more grateful for the memories they’ve given us. If you’re lucky enough to work with them, you will be thrilled with the results — they’re simply the best of the best.

Simply the best

Ben and Erin are incredible photographers. They are so much fun to be around and take creative, unique and meaningful photos. As wedding photographers, they truly capture moments of your life that you will look back on over and over. I’m so grateful to have had them at my wedding (10 years ago!) and now my family photos. As family portrait photographers, the photos they capture are always beyond anything we could have imagined. We love Chrisman Studios and always look forward to our next shoot with them!

Professional, creative, above and beyond

We hired Ben and his team for our wedding at a Charlottesville cider mill. Couldn't have asked for more. They used every angle and light source they could finagle to craft unique and memorable images. But more than that, they captured the narrative of our day, like true photojournalists, so that when we look back at the pictures, it's not just the striking images or portraits of our friends and family, but the true story of our day. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Perfection!

They are simply the best. Having a great deal of experience with photographers of all varieties over the years, I can confidently say Chrisman Studios produces work that is unparalleled. Globally relevant. Personal. Professional. They do it all. And it's hard to not end up with new friends in the process. They make even those most loath to take a photo feel comfortable in front of the camera, to the point where a person may just forget that it's even there.

Hands-down best photographers out there

Ben and Erin and the absolute best. Not only are they total pros with a camera but they are an absolute blast to spend time with. Ben and Erin feel like immediate friends and are able to make you feel at ease to get your best self photographed. The process is always fun and the end results are always top tier. They've been taking pictures of me for over 10 years now (including my wedding, my brothers wedding and some of my best friends as well!). I can't say enough good things. Stop searching. Book it!

Wedding photography that captures the joy and energy of your day!

I feel so lucky to have found Chrisman Studios for our wedding! It was quite on accident (we are another Erin and Ben!) but fate must have certainly been at play. I was initially attracted by their photojournalistic style generally and then drawn in even more by the joy and energy that you can feel and see in their photography and especially their wedding photography. I love our wedding pictures and feel lucky to have the Chrismans in our lives 12 years later!!! Ben has shot our family multiple times, on vacation and near our home, and our business on multiple occasions. You will not regret welcoming these talented and fun photographers to be part of your special day!!

The best of the best photographers

Chrisman Studios is the best of the best of the best!!! They photographed our engagement session, rehearsal dinner and wedding and the photos we are breathtaking. I am immediately back in the moment every time I look at them. Best money we spent on our wedding, and even casual acquaintances remember how stunning they are. Chrisman studios is great at the traditional shots your mom is going to want on her mantle, but they are truly gifted at capturing the beauty of the day, the emotion of the moment, and seriously fun party. You will thank yourself later for hiring them!

Artfully Done.

We asked Chrisman Studios shoot our engagement party last November, and have booked for them for our destination wedding in Puerto Vallarta in June. They made us feel like celebrities. The result was pure art, with love as the medium.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
