The best photographer!

Ben is the most amazing human and photographer! He was very communicative during the planning process. He listened to us and made sure he understood our vision. On the wedding day it was so hot and humid and he was able to pivot immediately when I abruptly decided it was too hot outside. The final photographs are everything we dreamed of and looking at them makes my heart swell. We would recommend Ben to anyone looking for an incredibly talented, kind and easy to work with photographer!

Beautiful Real Moments

My husband and I wanted our wedding photos to capture the "real" and joyous moments of the day and Ben accomplished that beautifully! We laugh and cry looking through our wedding's candid moments - they really bring back the feelings of the best day of our lives.
Ben is absolutely fantastic to work with. He was available to us whenever we had questions throughout our engagement. He was also by far our most 'on-top-of-it' vendor. We cannot recommend Ben enough!

Ben = genius.

Hiring Ben was by far one of the best (and most inspired) choices we made in planning our wedding. We were desperate to avoid the overwhelming "sameness" of most wedding photography and work with somebody who could help us capture our personalities and the energy of our big day, and Ben delivered exactly that... plus the requisite nicely-posed family portraits too. Ben has a uniquely clear vision of what great wedding photography can be, from the gear he uses (we're obsessed with the look that came from his Leica cameras), to what he's capturing (mostly the honest, real, joyous moments), to how he works (never intrusive in the room but always a positive energy we wanted there with us). He's a stand-out creative in a line of work that certainly needs and deserves them, and now we'll forever get to feel the slightest hint of superiority about how awesome our wedding photos are. We'd hire him five times over. Can't recommend him, as a photographer and a person, enough.
