Seamless, fun, and perfect!

It was a pleasure working with Ben. He made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. He was very professional and responsive from the first time we contacted him. We then were able to set up an introductory virtual meeting. He went over his process and tried to get a feel for what our wedding day would look like, and asked us what were some of the key moments that were important to us. On the wedding day, his recommendations and ability to direct us during the photo sessions was seamless. He is truly talented and has an eye for creative and graceful poses, with picturesque backgrounds. We are so happy and fortunate that we selected Ben to be our wedding photographer. He was very friendly and made us and our guests feel comfortable. We would highly recommend him as a photographer for any wedding or special occasion.

Fairy Tale Photos

Ben was the perfect photographer. He was extremely professional, and when things ran late or didn't go according to plan he was flexible and able to just go with it. His shots were all top quality, and he was able quickly discern which were good candid moments that should be captured and remembered. Ben was extremely easy to communicate with, worked well with our Wedding Coordinator, and knows the Bay Area (and it's lighting) well. He also provided Sneak Peak photos in timely manner and kept us up to date on when to expect the final product. The final product was organized into different categories to help us better view and sort the photos as well as showing us his own personal favorites. Ben is reasonably priced, hard working, quick without sacrificing quality, personable, and communitive. We highly recommend Ben Hellstrom.

Book Ben Hellstrom for your wedding!

Ben Hellstrom is a wonderful photographer, and we are really happy with the photos we received. As a part of the service, Ben met us for an engagement shoot, which was a great opportunity to get some couple shots, and get to know Ben. On wedding day, he worked the entire afternoon managing to capture so much of our day. He was professional, supportive, and honestly just fun to work with. Ben was quick to get us the sneak peek photos and had the full set ready within a month. The photos are well organized into the various parts of the day, and turned out so well. We feel really lucky to have found Ben. We highly recommend booking Ben Hellstrom for your engagement and wedding photos.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
