Ben is a dream!

We loved our experience with Ben / Silver and Salt! He completely got our vibe and the kind of style that would suit us best. He's such a delight to work with and be around. Our photos are so precious to us as we got the most gorgeous portraits as well as hundreds of special moments captured perfectly. Whenever we look at the photos, we get to relive the best day over again! So thankful to Ben and his gift for photography!

Dream photographer

Ben truly was the most perfect photographer. The photos are gorgeous and capture the energy and vibe of the day so perfectly. He also recommended additional vendors (DJ and videographer) who were similarly wonderful. I’ve looked through our gallery so many times now and I keep being stunned that these are photos of my wedding. If you want timeless, artistic, gorgeous photos and a truly wonderful photographer then Ben is the perfect choice.

Ben is amazing!!!

BREATHTAKING!!! Ben captured our wedding weekend in a way that we couldn't even dream of. We chose him because we wanted a photographer who would capture the weekend as it was, not a posed form, and that is exactly what Ben did. Every photo tells the story of our wedding. The raw emotion and the pure joy. On top of that Ben was our favorite vendor to work with. He was professional while also being fun. Family members who have had their own weddings even said he was the best photographer to work with!!! If you're looking for a photographer it's time to stop, because you've found him!!! Thank you Ben!!!

Incredible photos + the kindest photographer

Ben was the best person we could have imagined to capture our wedding day. He perfectly understood and accomplished our vision of documenting the day as organically as possible, and he made us feel comfortable and natural the whole time. The photographs are more beautiful than we ever hoped - a perfect snapshot of the day that we'll treasure forever. Not only that, but Ben was kind, fun, and professional. He put everyone at ease and treated all our family and guests with respect and warmth. We could not recommend Silver and Salt more!

One of the best parts of our wedding!

Silver + Salt Photography (Ben), was by far one of the best investments we made into our wedding weekend! He came highly recommended from a photographer who had done our engagement photos, we had a virtual meet & greet and then agreed upon our plan from there. From the start we knew Ben understood or vision, energy and generally what we were hoping to capture with the photos. From pre-planning, pre-billing to asking important questions about family and vibe, Ben always made us feel like he was taking care of us. Onsite, the weekend of the wedding, he was phenomenal. He captured details when we didn't even realize he had a camera, he was both ever-present and never in anyone's face, and perhaps most importantly, he caught things we didn't have an opportunity to see. So that by the time he delivered the incredible photographs, we got to both relive and learn what our wedding weekend was like from our and our guests perspective. The photographs are some of our most prized possessions - thanks to Ben, and we are so happy we chose to do a custom album so they can live in our home and be shared with everyone. Thank you, Ben! We couldn't be more pleased with knowing you and getting to collaborate with you. - Peter + Jared

Better than We Could Have Imagined

We cannot have imagined our wedding without Ben as our photographer. If you are looking for artful photos that capture your wedding day in its true form and transport you right back to that day whenever you look at them, look no further. Ben is an absolute master at his craft!

As someone who is camera shy, I was nervous about how our photos would turn out and about having a professional photographer at all. I really just wanted a collection of photos that captured the real, candid moments of the day. Ben accomplished this better than I could have ever imagined. Not to mention that he was such a joy to work with from the first day we met, making us feel comfortable and heard. He worked his magic in the background and delivered the most breathtaking photos of our day.

The perfect fit for our day

We knew as soon as we met Ben that he would be the right choice for our wedding. His emphasis on letting the photos tell the story of the day by capturing the special moments and the natural moments as they happened was exactly what we wanted from our wedding photos. And he accomplished his mission flawlessly. Our guests have consistently told us since the wedding that they didn't even realize he was there (in a good way), and the photos that came back have been nothing but magical. They bring the feelings of the day back to us and make us feel all warm inside. These photos are treasures, and Ben has a true artist's eye and is a master of his craft.

Ben is fantastic!

We loved working with Ben. He was calm and professional right from the start. He told us what to expect on the day, and the services he offered during our first call. Ben felt like another friend at our wedding. He is so kind. His pictures are stunning and unique. He was able to capture so many special moments in a beautiful, artistic and natural manner. Nothing (apart from the formal portraits) felt staged. He captured our event with beauty and elegance. He was so lovely to work with!

Hire Ben!!

We were so happy with Ben as our wedding photographer! Our photos are so full of life. It is almost like seeing movie stills from our wedding day. They are so authentic. They perfectly capture all the joy, laughter, and happy tears from our wedding. The colors are crisp and vibrant. Ben’s artistic eye also captured some perspectives that look like paintings. He is truly such a talented artist. Ben also has an incredibly comforting presence. He feels like an old friend. We so enjoyed spending our wedding day with him and so did our bridal party. He was somehow everywhere and nowhere throughout the day - he was capturing so many different moments yet never intruded on any of them. We don’t know how he was able to get so many angles of our ceremony and reception. He also was great at directing our formal portraits and helped us corral large groups of family seamlessly. If he is available on your wedding date, book him now!

Ben is an amazing photographer and person! From the very first meeting with him, he made us feel so comfortable, was so friendly and fun to work with, and his work speaks for itself. He was exceptionally professional, clearly communicative, and flexible. He captured our wedding day so magically, not only producing gorgeous and creative photos, but being a lovely presence to have during your wedding day which is so important!! I cannot recommend him enough!
