    Ben is amazing!

    We interviewed multiple photographers for our wedding. It was very important for us to pick someone who made us feel comfortable on our special day. Ben went above and beyond to make us smile and laugh during our engagement shoot and wedding day. Ben's energy is contagious and this shows in each wedding photo. He has a creative eye and knew our venue (Hiland Park Country Club) well. He arrived on time and made sure to capture every special moment. We appreciated having the engagement photos to use for our Save the Date. We will cherish our wedding photos the rest of our lives. We feel very fortunate Ben was our photographer. We couldn't have imagined working with anyone else. Thank you!!!

    Wedding Photographer

    Ben is an amazing photographer with such talent, that is evident in the work he does! My husband and I are so grateful for having Ben as our wedding photographer and stepping up when our initial plans changed. We had a wonderful experience working with Ben and he helped make the stress of not only wedding planning but posing for many photos seamless. He has a great personality that is easy to work with and he truly gives you advice and feedback needed to help make your vision come true. We can’t wait to see our photos and be able for reminisce on our perfect day!! I would recommend Ben Blaufuss Photography for any photo needs!

    Highly Recommend

    We first met Ben at my sister’s wedding, where we witnessed his professionalism and innate talents first-hand. It was an absolutely pleasure working with Ben. From our initial e-mails to detailing calls, Ben was our biggest fan from day one. He is the perfect combination of meticulous and outgoing. When I had my heart set on an engagement session location over two hours from him, he made the trip and did so with a smile. He made our inspiration photos come to life. On our wedding day, Ben and his assistant Dominick were outstanding. We are very happy with our investment in Ben Blaufuss Photography, and we would certainly recommend Ben to anyone.

    WOW! Is all I can say!

    First off, these photographers are personable, caring and go out of their way to make you feel like your wedding is the apple of their eye!

    Ben and Dominick did my daughters wedding on 9/25/21. They went out of their way to accommodate every aspect of this special day!

    We have only received our sneak peek so far and the quality is exceptional! Stunning! All I did was cry!

    Thank you both for your professionalism and making all our wedding guests feel so special! All they did all night was talk about how great your both are! ❤️

    Last thing to mention, their prices are competitive and I found them to be a bit less than most to stay competitive! Hire them! You won’t be sorry!

    Ben is the Best!

    I would recommend Ben to anyone who is looking to have photos taken. He is such a professional, and just a blast to work with. He knows what he’s doing and that shows in his work, and is honestly just a cool dude whose fun to be around. 10/10 would hire him again

    Pandemic Wedding

    Thank God for Ben. We booked Ben after talking with him at a wedding show in 2018, it was then years before our wedding finally happened. Our original date was 7/10/2020 where Ben assured me of details, day of timeline, pricing, and how the wedding day would go. When we had to reschedule to 7/11/2021 Ben was the person who put us at ease. Our family was devasted and dealing with Covid, our venue went back and forth, but Ben took our new date with no problem. He Zoomed with us to check in and made me feel comfortable on the big day. I am so glad we stumbled upon Ben that day, I can't have imagined our wedding without him. The photos are STUNNING!!!

    Ben is absolutely amazing at what he does! His creativity and eye for the best shots is evident in every one of our wedding photos. I know that our special day was captured in the best possible way. I would 100% recommend Ben for any type of photo shoot- he surely won't disappoint! Such a fun and funny guy to work with as well!

    Ben is absolutely hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with! He did my engagement and wedding photos and they were stunning! I seriously still look at them and can’t belive how beautiful they look. We recieved so many compliments on them. Also Ben is super laid back and easy going, he makes you feel comfortable and it’s always a good time shooting with him! I say always because since our wedding photos I’ve hired Ben to do our pregnancy announcement, maternity shoot, newborn pictures and one year old pictures of my daughter. He literally is our family photographer now! I will always hire him for everything! Wish I could give him more stars, seriously he will not disappoint!!!

    Words can not truly express how amazing Ben is as a photographer. He did both our engagement and wedding photos. He has a creative eye, takes amazing photos, is very professional but also a wonderful person. He was more than the just the photographer at our wedding but also one of our favorite guests! He truly fit in, made everyone feel comfortable and in doing that he captured some amazing moments. We personally recommended him to several other people for their weddings (including my sister-in-law) and everyone could not have been happier. Over the years, Ben has become more of a friend to us but in the process he gave us endless amounts of priceless memories and photographs. You cannot go wrong having Ben as your photographer. He is amazing at what he does.

    Exactly What We Wanted!

    Wow wow wow! We adore Ben! We began looking for a photographer while we were living out of town. Initially we were drawn to how Ben really captured natural moments in his photos. But, as we all know... a photographer has to fully vibe with you. It can't JUST be about a pretty picture. Our initial phone call was great! He really seemed to get our personalities and the theme of our wedding. We knew he was the photographer for us!

    When we moved back, Ben was more than happy to meet up with us in person and we knew that we made the right choice.

    Flash forward to wedding day. Ben is such an easy person to work with. You don't even realize he's there. And also he felt like part of our framily :) We had a few thousand problems with our wedding, and Ben just rolled with it . He's very flexible and professional and we had a blast working with him. We felt 100% comfortable with him... which is SO important - he's amazing at capturing intimate moments.

    I've heard many couples wait a looooong time for their final photos, but Ben worked hard and got us our photos in time for the holidays. Which really helped with some gift giving. The photos are amazing! We can't stop looking at them. I want to print and frame them all but we don't have enough wall space! We love them so much! We couldn't imagine having a different photographer.

    Stop looking - HIRE BEN! You will NOT regret it! One million thank you's aren't enough!

    Great photographer

    Our wedding photos came out beautifully. He was extremely easy to talk to and made us feel comfortable immediately. My husband and I are both thoroughly happy with the pictures and the wedding album. My only issue was his responsiveness. He’s very busy and it always seemed like a struggle to get a response to my emails and I had to send follow up emails multiple times after receiving no response. Brides (at least this one) tend to get frustrated when their email goes unanswered by a vendor they have hired. Communication is hugely important especially in the midst of planning a wedding. In the end, his work was worth the frustration on the communication side of things.

    Started off great, but would not recommend.

    We were super psyched to work with Ben! When we hired him he was responsive, had an amazing energy, and his work that we saw was exactly what we were looking for. We booked him several months out from our wedding date, and were told we would talk again a couple months out from our wedding.

    Flash forward to three months out, and I reached out to confirm we were still all good, as the pandemic had hit and we had just gotten confirmation from our venue that we could move forward, with safety measures put in place. Ben said he was comfortable proceeding, and we were relieved. From this point, we needed to nail down details with him and talk about the actual day. I reached out and I went weeks before I’d get a response, and that’s how it went from then on out, which was not at all how he was when we had first met with and hired him.

    We finally got him on the phone to talk about the wedding itself 2 and a half weeks prior to our wedding day. We agreed he would come to the hotel we were getting ready at for pictures, and we’d head across the street to the venue for the first look. He sent me a text that day saying in his notes, he had written down that we would be meeting at the venue. Once he got to the hotel, things felt rushed, and to me, it shows in the final result.

    He was personable, he did take pictures, but after waiting four months, the pictures we received back are not what we expected. There are a handful of beautiful pictures, but he sent a few with our heads cut off, and a few that look like bloopers (and not the funny kind). I thought it was just me, but looking at the shots of other weddings on his website, I see a big difference.

    All in all, we had high hopes for some amazing keepsakes and Ben Blaufuss Photography seemed like a perfect fit in the beginning, and that was not the case. Maybe if there had been more/better communication, we’d have ended up with a better result.
