About

WE ARE PHOTOGRAPHERS BEN & KADIN GODWIN.

Almost 4 years ago we said "I do" to each other and to a life of photography and adventures. We love people, our puppy, coffee, the beach and pretty much anything that involves having a good time and adventuring new places.

OUR APPROACH.

We have developed a candid and yet elegant approach to our weddings. We how the excitement and the elements of your wedding influence how the final story will look. No two weddings are alike and we love that each couple has there own special story and photos.

WORKING TOGETHER.

We absolutely love when people get married. This is when we are most in our element. You can expect to see us modeling poses for you, looking for fun angles, and making sure that everyone is having a great time. You can expect to get tons of photos captured from the different perspectives and moments that we each encounter during the wedding day.

BEST FRIENDS SINCE 2011

10 years ago, we both picked up cameras separately. We didn't know each other yet; however, we both had a love and a passion for photography. 5 years later we would meet each other and and start going on photo adventures together. We would take our camera's and photograph stuff as an excuse to hang out together. Before we knew it, we had fallen in love! We started dating in 2012 and married in 2014. From that day forward we knew that we had to photograph the adventures of others weddings.

Reviews of Photography by Ben & Kadin

Everything we hoped for!

We cannot say enough great things about Ben and Kadin. When we began looking for photographers for our wedding, we were having such a hard time finding someone who fit our vibe and wasn’t just bright, beige, or warm tones. When I found Ben and Kadin through our venue’s instagram, we were overjoyed because their photos were exactly what we were looking for! Not only did they shoot our wedding, but Kadin met us in Vegas to take some fun engagement photos of us at the Neon Museum as well that were so fun! On the day of the wedding, we were blown away by the amount of photos they took. Every detail and important moment was captured, and Kadin even brought her film camera to capture our day as well. My only regret is not taking them up on more photos after the ceremony (I think we had just hit our cap at the moment and needed some decompression time) and that’s on us! We have so many amazing memories to look back on thanks to the two of them and we cannot thank them enough. Plus, those dance photos are such a blast to look back at! Their kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail cannot be matched. If you’re thinking about hiring them for your engagement photos or wedding, do not hesitate! You’ll be so, so happy you did.

We love Ben & Kadin! Their work is GORGEOUS!

We had so much fun working with Ben and Kadin for our engagement and wedding photos. They turned around our photos INCREDIBLY QUICKLY and the mood of the photos was GORGEOUS - matched the venue and the vibe to the tee. 10/10 would recommend. They are artists and have so much chemistry - it's contagious!

Vogue-worthy, editorial, cinematic wedding photography. They went the extra mile for us, and it shows.

As far as photography goes, this was by far a priority we both aligned on from the beginning. After all, when the day is done, all you really have are the photos to remember it by. We wanted to make sure that we remembered how we felt on that day, and not just how it looked. And because everyone says it goes by so fast, it was super important to me that we hired a team that could capture our day journalistically – and on 35mm film. We didn't realize how much this was actually asking! After many, MANY interviews with photographers from all over the country, we discovered that this would take a very skilled photographer and lots and lots of money. After a deep dive through Instagram accounts and lots of wedding pictures, Ben and Kadin's work stood out to us immediately. They are a husband-and-wife team whose photos absolutely exude that dreamlike, moody, emotional quality. They are masters at telling wedding stories through pictures, and I knew we had to have them on our vendor team! They really worked for it, too. There aren't cars on the island so a lot of it was hoofing it up and down cobblestone streets or squeezing into golf carts up dusty hillside roads. I'm so grateful for them. And it helps that they are super sweet, funny, and a joy to be around in general. I never felt awkward or stressed out when they were around, and there was a lot to be stressed out about that day! Our site for the First Look was reserved for another wedding, and we weren't allowed access. Kadin jumped out of the golf cart and I don't know what she said to the gatekeeper, but he let us through. Then when we were taking family photos, our wedding planner was tending to an emergency elsewhere and she had the list of all the people we needed to wrangle. I started to panic, then Kadin stepped in again to save the day and started organizing people and shuffling them in and out so we could get to the ceremony on time. As vain as it may be, I really wanted a set of bridal portraits that I could keep. I spent so much time on my ensemble and I wouldn't get to wear it again, I wanted to document it without it looking too posed. When she stopped me in front of a small window on the ramp up to the ballroom, I wasn't sure what the pictures were going to look like, but she had a vision. These are by far my favorite photos of me that have ever been taken. It looks like the sun is shining out of me! They are so dramatic, timeless, and beautiful. It's how I felt, and when I look at their photos, I remember it exactly as I wanted to.

Amazing photographers and people!

We cannot say enough wonderful things about Ben and Kadin! We had our engagement photos taken with them and they also photographed our engagement party and wedding. They're both super kind and generous individuals who we trusted with such an important job as soon as we met them. Their talent is beyond amazing. They have such a great eye for good photography, and their editing skills are also beautiful. They were super prompt and were able to keep to our complicated timeline on the day of our wedding. They made sure we got all of the types of photographs we wanted, and they also had a number of suggestions to get the best photos. Overall, we highly recommend them!

Ben and Kadin are the best! We met at a coffee shop prior to the wedding and discussed my husband and my interests, our vision for the wedding and the general style. They really wanted to get to know who we were, so they could help visually tell our story.

We sent them a shotlist with inspiration images and they completely nailed it! They were with us the entire day, splitting up to cover the guys and the girls getting ready, then a first look, ceremony, family portraits and reception. They stayed all the way through the sparkler exit! Plus it was so great to have two shooters for the day.

The entire time they were friendly, positive, professional and a lot of fun. They were so encouraging and really brought out the best in us.

They provided over 500 professionally touched up photos about a month after the wedding day. Each image capturing little details, laughs, unposed moments, and true love. They captured every important moment and more. Plus they are such a great value for what they deliver!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
