Eleven out of ten!

Ben was fantastic and a pleasure to work with for our wedding! He was so professional and supportive throughout the entire process – from our first conversation to the timely delivery of our gallery. We had a weekday city hall ceremony and a reception the following weekend. Ben was flexible with our non-traditional structure and captured unique memories from each event. He has a phenomenal eye for composition and for finding stunning backdrops – for us, around city hall and the public garden. For our portraits, Ben kept us at ease and natural. At the reception, Ben helped us maximize our time with guests and was a wizard at herding everyone together for the formal group photos. He was seemingly everywhere all at once to give us an incredible collection of candids and dancefloor shots.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Ben!

The friend you didn't know you needed!!

I cannot recommend Ben enough.

From the moment we connected on our initial call, we knew Ben was going to be a wonderful fit. Both my husband and I are extremely camera shy and it's always been very difficult posing for group photos or showing our affection with a camera pointed in our direction. With Ben's approach and expertise, you'd forget there is even a camera in the room. He's exactly where he needs to be, got along with everyone splendidly, and really delivered in capturing the spirit of the day/night. We felt extremely comfortable with Ben, even though we only shared one day together, and you can see how that comfort translates to the photos.

Ben's work speaks for itself. We shared our photos with our guests and we had countless people reach out to praise him and his work. You are paying for quality, and we really feel Ben exceeded our expectations. We would 100% work with Ben again in the future.

Out of respect for my guests we're limiting photos to just ourselves (+ the band), but these are some of our favorites!

Look No Further, Your Photographer is Here!

Just hire Ben already. After seeing his gorgeous and artful images online, we decided not to waste any time because photography was one of our top priorities. Ben talked us through the process, what to expect, and was enthusiastic and collaborative. During our civil ceremony at city hall and then our "big" wedding, Ben was a calm, reassuring and professional presence throughout - gracefully navigating spaces, people and moments. Now that we've received (and poured over!) our photos from both ceremonies, we couldn't be happier. Ben's photos captured everything from the big moments to the most candid. We really love that these photos are beautiful and artful - so much in fact that they will have a special place not just in a wedding album but also on the walls of our home. A little comment about money...every wedding ends up costing more than you think - we decided to "splurge" when hiring Ben but feel like it was worth every penny :)
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
