Ben rocks! MVP of our whole day!

Our experience working with Ben could not have been any better. Throughout our entire wedding process, he was incredibly kind, thoughtful, professional, and supportive. He made us feel so comfortable being photographed, and it really felt like he fit right in with our family and friends. Working with him was amazing, but seeing the way our photos turned out was truly incredible! Ben is extremely talented and creative, and we're so grateful to have found him.

He was truly the MVP of our wedding day, and we cannot recommend him enough!

Professional Wedding Photographer with an Artistic Eye

Ben is a delight to work with! He is thoughtful and creative; open to any ideas to make sure he understand and captures your vision. If you are looking for timeless wedding photos as well as those with an artistic flair, then Ben is your photographer! We had a December wedding and Ben thoughtfully selected the perfect location for our family portraits and the light was just amazing. There also happened to be many mirrors at our venue, and Ben used that to his advantage to capture many unique photos -both while getting ready and waiting for the ceremony to begin. Thank you Ben for capturing our special day!

Highly recommend, photojournalistic, great vibe!

We chose Ben/Silver and Salt Photography because we were looking for a professional who could really capture the energy, moments, and reality of our day together. We hit the jackpot on this one. We absolutely love our pictures. Ben truly did a wonderful job capturing what will be one of the first memories we’ll have as a married couple. The laughter, our guests, my husband and my interactions, our family, and even a few shenanigans!

We looked at so many different photographers and landed with Ben because of his keen ability to frame a moment beautifully while maintaining its reality and naturalness. Some photographers just have an eye for composition and it really does show in the end product. And we really are impressed with Ben because it’s not an easy thing to do when there are a lot of moving parts and what you’re trying to capture is truly just a brief moment in time. This is one of the primary reasons why we knew Ben would be our photographer after reviewing his portfolio.

After getting the family/couple portraits we wanted, we were given such freedom to be ourselves without worrying about a camera. We don’t know our angles and knew that posing for pictures would eat into our time enjoying our guests (and add a bit of stress). With Ben as our photographer, we really got to maximize our time with our guests and even were able to actually be present during our cocktail hour with everybody! It was so great. Even without posed pictures we got a bunch of amazing photos - primarily moments - that we’ll be able to look back at very fondly.

Our guests have all commented on how awesome the photographs are. We would highly recommend Ben on your big day. Photography was one of our top priorities for our wedding day. We specifically sought out a photojournalistic style. After looking at so many portfolios we both agreed Ben was our guy. His professionalism, kindness, talent, and artistic eye will absolutely put your mind at ease.
