Ben and his team were AMAZING and made our day run so smoothly!
Ben and his team were AMAZING and made our day run so smoothly! They were so positive and were constantly cracking jokes to get us to genuinely smile in all the pictures. None of our pictures were awkward and I thought our portfolio was a picture combination of candid and traditional! After only being in Ben's presence twice I felt like he knew us forever... he remembered small details about our lives that we mentioned along the way which made working with him that much more special. Our engagement session was over a year before our wedding and he still remembered details of our love story, family, and childhood. ALSO he was so quick to return all our photos! He even gave us some polaroid prints that night which absolutely blew us away! I was in tears and showed them to everyone that night. I couldn't recommend Ben and his team more!

This is your sign to book Ben Lau!
I've been following Ben for quite some time on Instagram and with each post, it only further confirmed that I HAD to have him take our wedding photos. Ben's experience and professionalism really helped move our day along in a memorable and seamless way. He collaborated so well with our other vendors, especially our videographer and really just bought everyone together with his humor! Multiple guests gave compliments about Ben to us; he was easily one of our best wedding decisions!

Super Fun and Creative Photographer!!
Ben was great. He was a fun presence to have around on our wedding day and went out of his way to get special photographs! I was looking for a photographer that had a more editorial/candid style and who wasn’t too light/airy/romantic but also not too dramatic - Ben is the perfect blend. We got all of the standard photos you would hope to get from a wedding and so many fun surprises in addition. He is super talented and we will cherish our photos for the rest of our lives! I would recommend him to my best friend.

HIGHLY recommend!
Ben is simply the best! Not only is he an amazing photographer, but he is an amazing person as well. From the beginning, Ben and his team were extremely responsive, professional and KIND. He never made us feel like we were "just another couple"- you can tell he truly cares about each couple and understands the importance of the role he plays on your special day.
From the day we met him at our engagement shoot we knew we made the right choice. He brought such great energy that kept us smiling and laughing all day. He has a special ability to make you feel truly comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
When we received our wedding photos we were blown away by the beautiful job he did and all of the incredible moments he captured. We will cherish our wedding photos forever. We could not recommend Ben and his incredible team more! Thank you for the beautiful memories!

Ben Lau Photography was amazing!!
From the first time meeting Ben through engagement photos to the day of, Ben and his team were wonderful to work with! The photos are amazing, unique, and captured our wedding in a way that makes us feel like we are back living each moment. We didn't feel staged or awkward, and Ben made sure to capture not only our candid moments but the happiness, excitement, and love in the room.

10/10 Recommend!
We chose Ben as our photographer prior to choosing a venue as we knew we wanted him as our photographer. Ben and his wife, Karis (second shooter) brought a calm and efficient demeanor to our wedding day as we had a ton of family photos that our family wanted to take. Our photos came out beautifully and they were a pleasure to work with! We enjoyed the same day sneak peeks as well. Highly recommend!

He’s like salt. He brings your flavor out.
Ben is the greatest. Not only is he the best photographer, he’s an absolute gentleman and one of the funniest people I have ever met. His humor gets you to relax and that’s when he goes to work. If you’re not used to posing for pictures, no worries - Ben knows what he’s doing. If you let him do what he does best, his creativity and artistic eye will capture moments that you’ll look back on and be transported right back to. He also works with his wife Karis, who is amazing and they compete to see who gets the picture of the day. I recommend him to everyone I know. If you need someone to, not only capture moments, but to make you feel confidently yourself in the photos - Ben Lau is your man.

Cannot Recommend Ben Enough!!
Ben was an amazing wedding photographer. One of the key things that got our eye about Ben’s photos was the way that he captured the raw emotions and his true photojournalistic style and he did not disappoint.
From the first intake call he did, we felt at such ease with him. He made not just me but my fiancé laugh with his stellar dad jokes and we felt like we were talking to an old friend. That’s exactly how it felt during our engagement shoot in NYC, which also went above and beyond our expectations in terms of the attention to detail and time spent with us, the numbers of photos we got, and the quality of the company and conversations we had. On the day of our wedding, Ben had just spent the previous night in the hospital and come to our venue to tell us that though he still had his hospital tag on, he’d still be shooting our wedding!! Against all our requests for him to rest he persisted that he would deliver on his contractual promise to be there for us on our big day. Can you talk about professionalism?! And despite all that he was going through, he still made us laugh, captured such beautiful and intimate moments for us, and did it in his classic Ben Lau style.
We could not recommend Ben enough! If you are looking for someone who will not just be your photographer but become your friend, fill your shoots with dad jokes and laughter, and capture all the moments - big or small - for you, he’s your guy!

An Amazing Experience for My Wedding Day
There aren't enough words to possibly describe how amazing every photo that Ben snaps are. Ben captured my wedding day perfectly! Easily the best experience with a photographer to date! Ben is super personable, easy-going, communicative, and very professional. Throughout the process, Ben ensured that my wife and I were comfortable and enjoying the experience. Undoubtedly, his creativity and artistic eye made the photos even more outstanding than I could have imagined. We received our pictures on time, and they were perfect! We’re so happy we hired Ben for our wedding, and I’ve recommended Ben to my friends looking for a photographer, and I would gladly recommend Ben Lau to others!

Ben is amazing!
Ben and his team (including his wife Karis) are the absolute best there is. From my very first phone call with him over 2 years ago, I could tell he was beyond professional, knowledgable, experienced, passionate about his work, and just a really awesome person! And we can say he's awesome with confidence- we got to know him well because we spent 2 hours in the car with him on our way to our engagement photos on top of Bear Mountain! Those engagement pictures turned out absolutely STUNNING and we've received endless amounts of compliments on them. Not only were our pictures stunning but we had the best experience working with Ben from day one through communication over a 2 year covid engagement/postponed wedding, to our unforgettable wedding day/night. Ben also truly knows how to handle the rowdiest of groups! A wedding party of 20 people, flower girl/ring bearer, LARGE families, a big wedding, etc. He remains calm, patient, comedic (we love his jokes!) and purposeful through it all. We would choose Ben & Karis over and over again! We can't recommend him enough can't wait to see what our wedding photos look like!

Just hire Ben Lau!
BEN IS THE BEST! If you're looking for photos that are truly authentic to your wedding day, this is your guy. Aside from every photo he takes being stunning and perfect, he and his wife Karis are a dream to work with. They both felt like our friends from the moment we met them and they know how to get the job done. He answers emails almost immediately every time (a tough feat during this crazy busy wedding year!) and I never had to chase Ben for a single thing. We originally weren't going to do engagement photos (we're both camera shy), but when Ben explained its all a part of his process, we went for it. I'm so glad we did because the pictures came out awesome and got us so excited for our wedding day! Our wedding photos are beautiful and captured our day exactly as it happened. We can't wait to work with Ben again in the future. Thank you Ben!

Couldn't have asked for more!
Ben and Karis were absolutely wonderful to work with. From the first time we met Ben for our engagement shoot I knew he was going to capture our wedding the way we intended- as the day happened without too many cheesy or posed shots. Almost a year later I can't stop looking at our wedding and engagement photos. He listened to our vision and exceeded our expectations!

LOOK NO FURTHER - Ben Lau is the one!!!
You only need one photographer and that is Ben Lau! His vision and the way he captures his photos are impeccable. I have never had such a great photographer than in Ben Lau. I knew Ben was the one when he returned back the Save the Date Photos and WOW!!! If you don't know what to do in photos, Ben will direct you and tell you what to do! Ben is top notch and patient! Even when people were screaming at him and getting in his way, he showed the utmost patience! i just love everything about him! If you don't use him for your photos, then you might as well just have a subpar event!!. It is a once in a lifetime opportunity when someone comes across ur life and understands the importance of that moment!!! There are not enough words i can say about Ben on how grateful we truly are! I will look at the pics he took forever!!!! We will forever be a customer as long as i have moments to capture!! His assistant Gabe was superb too! Hire Ben immediately! The best in the game!!! Trust me highly - YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!! Such a beautiful soul and you will truly love his work!!

Turn your moments into lifelong memories!
Ben is a composer in the art of photography. The entire experience with Ben Lau photography was unforgettably positive. From the engagement photo shoot to the record-long wedding day full of coverage, Ben and his team proved they had a knack for capturing the heart of each moment in their photographs.
We look back on our wedding photos and can feel the emotions in each shot. It all felt so seamless. Ben could easily rally bridal parties and friends alike, forming the perfect combinations for unforgettable photos we will cherish forever.
Further, Ben and his team are as flexible as they are talented. Despite COVID forcing two wedding postponements, Ben was able to make the time to accommodate us on our special day. We look back on our wedding day so fondly, and cannot thank Ben enough for his hard work in capturing the heart and soul of our wedding from sun rise to sunset.
We highly recommend Ben Lau Photography for your next special event! You will be so happy with the memories you’ll leave with.

Nothing short of PERFECT
I don’t know where to even begin. Ben’s positive energy and enthusiasm for what he does is beyond what I ever could have expected. We were so comfortable with him right away and his eye & creativity made all of our engagement & wedding images far from cookie cutter. I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day. Could not have possibly found someone better to share our day with us and capture all the most beautiful memories for us to have forever.

An amazing person and photographer!
We haven't gotten our wedding photos done yet, (wedding currently scheduled for later this year!) but Ben has done our engagement photos (and my brother + sister in law's weddings). His work is great, he's a fun person, and during these crazy times he's been extraordinarily transparent and helpful in identifying potential wedding back up dates for us!

Beautiful Photos, Wonderful Human Beings!
We hired Ben to capture our day when we had to postpone our wedding due to COVID and our original photographer wasn't available. We ended up clicking with him way better than our first photographer and the photos were exactly what we wanted! He was an absolute pleasure to work with and his ability to make you feel comfortable really comes through in the photos! We plan on contacting him in the future for our other life milestones :)

Engagement and Wedding Photos
Ben and his wife Karis were an absolute pleasure to work with from the beginning. We were so happy with our engagement photos and couldn’t wait for them to capture our big day! However due to COVID we were unable to have our big wedding and instead found out just days before we were allowed a micro wedding with 30 people. Ben was by our side every step of the way. He was so flexible, understand and compassionate regarding our situation. We just received our photos and were blown away. He had a way of capturing our day and making us feel so special and beautiful given our crazy, unique, and last minute circumstances. Needless to say we cannot wait to work with Ben and Karis again!! And we will definitely be recommending them to plenty of friends and family! :)

Ben is truly amazing and made our wedding day so special! We couldn’t be more grateful to have him as our wedding photographer. He went above and beyond to help us create unforgettable memories despite these crazy times. We are still in awe of his talent, kindness, and flexibility. He is fun, funny, and so personable. We cannot wait to do it all again for part two of our wedding celebration!

Amazing!!!
We absolutely LOVED our experience with Ben Lau Photography! From the initial engagement session, Ben made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and kept us laughing all day. As a result, our photos were both natural in capturing joy and stunning in capturing the environment around us. Ben & Karis were also super helpful during the chaos of the wedding day, helping us coordinate with other vendors and making sure that we were able to get the shots that we wanted. Our wedding photos turned out AMAZING and our families and guests are still raving about them! Besides their artistic photography, Ben & Karis were also so lovely and fun to work with. I would highly recommend them to anyone and everyone!

Our favorite vendor, our most valuable investment, and a lifelong friend
We first met Ben about 5 years ago when we got engaged and he stuck with us through personal tragedy, pandemics, and ultimately our church ceremony/vow renewal/backyard reception in August 2022. While the images that Ben and his team capture are exceptional in quality, it is the service that feels more like friendship that made this the best part of our planning experience. In an admittedly chaotic planning process that changed many, many times, we ultimately planned our day around whether or not Ben was available. He was that important to our planning process and end experience. At each point in the process he was understanding, thoughtful, and supportive.
On the day of the event, Ben captured gorgeous photos but also helped manage the stress levels of everyone around. He’s an expert in the human elements of a wedding and I am certain that no other photographer would have captured the quality of images that Ben did of my husband and I amid the chaos. We chose Ben and his team because of their expertise, kindness, and humor. When we received our images, we were blown away by his ability to capture the joy and levity of the day with our family and friends. We recommend Ben to anyone and everyone we know looking for a photographer and hope to use him for all of our future photography needs. Each time we look at our photos, we are grateful to Ben Lau and his incredible team for helping us capture one of the best days of our lives.
