Benjamin is a tremendous photographer and an amazing person. The moments he captured on our wedding day have us in awe. He provided such a warm, friendly and safe environment for us to both feel at ease and help us be in the moment. We felt so appreciated and cared for. The day was truly amazing and all of his photos are priceless keepsakes that we'll treasure always. We are grateful and couldn't recommend him more.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Ryan,
A huge thank you for the kind words as well as the honor to be your storyteller. Thank you for going the extra mile for the eclipse images as well! You both are a treasure! Blessings during this amazing season of life. -

The Absolute Very Best
There are few words that describe how amazing Ben’s photography is. I feel LUCKY to have worked with him! He not only captured the day, the moments, the people, but also he captured the story of our lives at such a pivotal, beautiful and sad time. He is a deeply sensitive, loving, and empathetic person whose vision is transformative. I can’t possibly recommend him more!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Annie, There aren't enough thank you's, enough words to describe our gratitude for being on this journey with you and documenting such an important time in your life. THANK YOU -

Gunnar M. Sent on 09/29/2022Exceptional and artistic wedding photos
My daughter got married this summer in Sunriver, OR, and through her own research found Benjamin Edwards, and we all loved his past work. As a photography enthusiast, I can attest to the very high quality photos that Benjamin produces. His work is outright gorgeous, both from an artistic and technical point of view, as well as being able to tell beautiful stories from the wedding day, while evoking strong emotions. When you watch his photos, you can see that he is a true artist, who loves what he does and who will go the extra mile to produce that very special piece of memory. If all you want are photos of the wedding party, family and guests posing, get a more generic photographer. However, if you want photos of this very special day that you would want to admire and cherish over and over for the rest of your life, Benjamin is a great choice. The only dilemma we have now is to choose from the hundreds of fantastic photos for our prints and books!
Benjamin is also a nice and easy person to work with, accommodating while being full of creative ideas. I couldn't recommend Benjamin more!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Gunnar, have you ever had something truly beautiful and inspiring catch you off guard to the point of near tears? Your words mean so much to me! Thank you, endlessly, for your hospitality and for making me feel like a part of the family. Also, for creating one of the most touching moments at a wedding I've seen in my whole career! Blessings to you! -

Clare M. Sent on 11/25/2020This man makes art.
Benjamin makes art. His photographs are worthy of being turned into poster-size prints that belong in an exhibit, with or without the humans in them. But moreover, he is the kindest person we've met in Bend. If you're fortunate enough to shoot with Benjamin, you'll end the day with an art piece and a new friend.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Clare, I can't describe the honor it was for us to be there to capture this amazing new season in your life! How incredible to do this on your new property! Thank you for your kind review and long live dresses with pockets! Blessings! Benjamin -

Whitney V. Sent on 08/18/2022Amazing, Magical and Worth every penny
We hired Benjamin after going through his photos and deciding he had the moody edge we were looking for. We were having a medieval style wedding and wanted someone with an artistic edge that could bring out our personalities! His package also included engagement photos which is something we wanted as well.
Benjamin was professional, prompt, and incredibly personable. My husband and I are not very social people, and we were more than comfortable with his interactions with us and our family! Our wedding photo shoots were some of our most memorable and magical experiences during our wedding time! We could not have asked for a better photographer for our unique and special day. We loved Benjamins creative imagination, hilarious personality, and even felt we had made a very special friend! Both my husband and I still talk about how wonderful he is, and it's been almost three months since we were married! If you want gorgeous, magical and unique photos, Benjamin Edwards will deliver. Thank you Benjamin for capturing our amazing memories! -

We called Benjamin last minute when we were traveling from the east coast and wanted to get some engagement shots done in Bend. He was able to fit us in and recommended some awesome locations to do the shoot. My fiance is really uncomfortable having his picture taken but Ben was able to make us feel natural and comfortable, and we had a lot of fun! The photos turned out beautifully. Highly recommend Ben for his responsiveness, warm personality and great work!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Jennifer, thank you for the kind words. You two are exactly why I love what I get to do. Thank you for trusting me and for being you! All the best to you-B -

Incredible pictures!
Benjamin was such a professional! We could not be more happy he was there on our special day, capturing all the little moments and details, during our wedding adventure on Broken Top; at No Name Lake.
He did such a spectacular job with the photos he captured - he did exactly as we had discussed and because of that we will have the most beautifully, timeless pictures to share with all of our friends and family. We will be forever grateful for how kind, patient and respectful he and his assistant/son Parker, were - to not only my husband and I - but our two guests in attendance. Thanks for everything Benjamin. -

Benjamin & his son Parker did a phenomenal job shooting our wedding. The details they captured, the moments and creativity were beyond amazing. They put us at ease, no stress, true professionals that got the shots we wanted and those we didn't know even happened. Best of all they are truly great people - kind, considerate & passionate about what they do & phenomenal storytellers behind the lens. Thank you for making our wedding memorable beyond a single day and taking time to understand our love and be part of the experience.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:

Francesca D. Sent on 06/03/202110 Stars for Benjamin!
We had a wonderful experience with Benjamin! He made us feel comfortable and at ease the whole time. He really brought out ourselves in our photos with little tips, which truly reveals his talent and creativity. We love the outdoors, and exploring new hikes, so it was a treat to do the engagement shoot in a cave, and climbing up Smith Rock! He exceeded our expectations, and we highly recommend Benjamin!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Francesca! You two are the reason I do what I do! Your sense of adventure, zeal for living life to the fullest, the way you two look at each-other. It's my greatest honor. THANK YOU! -

Lindsey A. Sent on 07/29/2021The best photographers for Seattle, Bend, anywhere!
Benjamin (and his son, Parker) are photographers that capture the whole story: the emotions, the scenery, and the joy in relationships. Their expertise shines as they can capture the natural beauty in every moment and can show the closeness of a couple even with height differences (we are 5'2" and 6'5"). They were wonderful to work with as we had to reimagine our Seattle wedding in the pandemic, and we look forward to working with them in the future!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Lindsey! We're so thankful for you and Alex. Your hearts, ah!! It's a high honor to know and serve you. Looking forward to the next round of festivities!
Blessings! -

We eloped and wanted amazing photos we could share with friends and family. He made things fun and easy for us, which I was worried about because my husband who is camera shy. He did not pressure us into things we weren’t comfortable with and really captured our day perfectly.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:

Noelle K. Sent on 11/24/2020Truest, Purest Fine Art
I have wanted Benjamin Edwards to photograph my wedding since I was a little girl. I had seen the incredible fine art he created and wanted my wedding to be captured with that same skill. He went above and beyond. Each photo is so much more than a memory captured, but a masterpiece in of itself but also building beautifully on one another to tell the story of covenant love.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Noelle, there are no words for the honor it has been to tell your story. Simply put, it's the reason why I do what I do. Thank you for allowing me the privilege! -

So we got married during a pandemic. If that is not enough of a challenge, try throwing in ever-changing venues, timelines, etc., but Benjamin and his crew were true pros and made our wedding day photography relaxing and fun.
I am usually behind a camera shooting photos of other people, so being in front of the camera is not exactly a comfortable place for me to be. I have very few photos of me as a result, and certainly, not many that I love. Upon interviewing Benjamin for our wedding photography, I told him that all I wanted was one good photo of my new husband and I. Just one. He assured me we'd have plenty and, wow, did we! And, as an older bride, I am thrilled with his craftsmanship and energy in capturing our day.
Our favorite moment, which was unexpected, was him shooting us with a drone, lying down in a meadow. It was perhaps the most peaceful and tranquil minutes my soon-to-be husband and I had spent together in the weeks leading up to the wedding. We didn't expect the drone so it was a huge bonus to get an amazing aerial shot.
We loved it, too, that Benjamin led us on a hike through the woods to some of our favorite spots. I believe we ended up hiking close to two miles - dress and heels and all. It was amazing and incredibly rewarding. If I had to do it all over again, I'd book multiple sessions or extended hours to really get some of the more creative shots. He is so creative - I suggest letting him do his thing and just go for it. It's just a dress and shoes - the dirt is an amazing memory of our experience and I doubt I'll clean them! I appreciate that he was game for whatever we wanted to do yet also captured some of the traditional photos that everyone needs - family shots, group photos, venue photos, etc.
In summary, you can't go wrong with Benjamin Edwards. I researched countless photographers and am incredibly thankful I found him.

Best photographer - thank you, Ben!
We cannot say enough good things about Ben; having him for our wedding photographer was SUCH a gift! We postponed our wedding 3x due to covid, and Ben was kind, gracious, and accommodating throughout. On the actual day of the wedding he put both of us at ease immediately. He captured our day so organically, and with such an incredible and artistic eye. From the big group photos to intimate moments just the two of us, he guided us just enough to capture the best image, but really let us just be ourselves. In doing so, he captured our day so authentically and beautifully. All of our family and friends have been raving about our wedding photos, and we couldn't agree more - they are perfect! If you're looking for a wedding photographer, look no further! Ben is the best!!! -

Katie L. Sent on 11/26/2020The most artistic and professional photographer I’ve ever met!
Can’t go wrong with Mr Ben Edwards. Not only have I had the privilege to work along side him but I’ve had the extreme pleasure to have him photograph my elopement and my family session. When you book Ben, you get a photographer who learns about you as a couple or family. Creates an artistic experience unlike any other. Your photos will be exquisite and timeless at the same time. He’s extremely creative and your photos won’t look like everyone else’s. They will be fresh and exciting. He captures precious moments in that lens that you didn’t even realize took place. His eye is top notch. He’s warm and kind and a delight to have as your photographer. I love his work. I love him as a person and you won’t be disappointed, ever. I’ve booked him multiple times and am in awe each time!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Katie my friend, it's truly an honor to work with you on projects and to have been chosen to photograph your wedding knowing there are so many people you can choose from. You are greatly appreciated my friend! -

If you are considering hiring Ben as your photographer, for any reason, stop considering and get the process rolling! You won’t regret it!
I have felt really unphotogenic in the past. It was something I was definitely worried about for my wedding photos, but I didn’t need to because I look as beautiful as I feel in all of my engagement and wedding photos —which is a priceless feeling! Ben is so wonderful to work with and he has such an eye for light, which makes your photos feel like art. He doesn’t just capture an image but a slice of life, a full moment. It’s hard to explain but when you see examples of his work you will totally understand! Worth every penny and such an enjoyable experience. You won’t regret it, and I couldn’t recommend him more :)Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Olivia, thank you for such a kind review! Parker and I had so much fun with you and Charlie-and your amazing friends and family. And you know what? You are TRULY one of the most beautiful people (and photogenic) I've had the honor to photograph. Thank you!

Sarah R. Sent on 09/26/2019Photos to last a lifetime!
When we were looking for wedding Photographers, we wanted someone who had vision, who could display our love to the world better then anyone else. And that is EXACLTY what we got from Benjamin and Parker. We loved his work so much so, that we booked him being a state away knowing we would incur additional travel fees. We did not care as his work spoke for itself! Not only is he amazingly talented, but he made us feel like so comfortable, and it felt like we had been friends for a long time. It made the whole day so easy. The overall experience of having Benjamin as our wedding Photographer is more then we can put into words, but simply put it was beyond perfection.
We spent last night looking through our photos for the first time. I cried, because it was like reliving the day all over again. The emotion, the love, the silliness, and the fun that we felt, it was all right there.
Hands down the best money spent for our big day. We plan to continue to use Benjamin for any and all of our photo needs tell the end of time! So much love and Thanks to you!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Oh my goodness, thank you Sarah. Words can't describe the honor it was for us to be there for you, Harrison and your amazing friends and family. We'd be there tomorrow to do it all over again! Hugs! -

Invest in Photography
Benjamin captured every moment in the most beautiful way that we will cherish for a lifetime. He is a master of lighting and knowing the right angle to make everyone look stunning. We were extremely pleased with how responsive he was and incredibly easy to work with by instructing us on where to stand and what to do. His calm demeanor helped to easy any nervous awkwardness and enabled us to not only enjoy the day but each other. Our guests also could not stop talking about his professionalism. The hardest part is deciding on which pictures to either print or put in an album since they are all mind blowing!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
My goodness Danielle, what kind words. I'm SO honored to have been a part of your day. Parker and I enjoyed our time with your friends and family. We cannot thank you enough for the opportunity. Blessings and hugs! -

Naomi M. Sent on 11/20/2018So many words...and yet speechless.
An Open Letter of Recommendation,
.
With bated breath,
Tim and I sat side by side last night.
Alone in our home, we opened his email
accessing our Engagement Session Photos.
Slowly, we began to click. One by one,
his images moved us.
.
Nothing can prepare someone for the unexpected wave of self-criticism that inevitably comes with viewing so many still shots of ones self. No amount of confidence makes anyone immune to immediately seeing flaws, least of all us.
.
And yet, his work gently shifted our focus, and quieted all fears. Framing the context of the occasion, capturing the very spirit of our partnership, he SEES us, and his ability to interpret us in photo was inspiring.
.
I wish for a moment, the world could see and hear the speechless gasps of wonder and aw from those around us. He is likely no stranger to accolades, but to work with him would effortlessly suggest otherwise. His genuine connection and heart for people is palpable and contagious. His humility holds space for ease and creativity, and we can't help but fall in love...all over again.
.
Wrapping up the shoot, squeezing a hug out of him, he reluctantly teased how badly you smelled...after nearly laying down in the mud for the perfect shot. I say, "Sheer perfection! We know we selected the right photographer when he smells like a swamp, but all we notice is the look on our lover's face!"
.
THANK YOU again, and Again, and AGAIN, Benjamin!Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
I'm just not sure anyone could deserve your amazing words my friend. You and Tim are, simply, the reason we do what we do. So thankful for you! -

The photos & experience was 10x better than I could have ever imagined!
If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Benjamin and Parker were a joy to work with - it seemed like we had been friends for years. His photos will undoubtedly be the difference between us having fond memories of our wedding to having the most epic story tale to share with our friends and family. They knew exactly where to be and when. Since we eloped, our friends and a lot of family were not there, but through Benjamin's lens they got the experience of the entire adventure.
He was professional, and made me feel like a princess - regardless that my hair was sopping wet from snow and makeup was long gone. He did a great job 'coaching' us for posed shots that look so artistic, and I am blown away by how great his candid shots are. It was a prompt-to elopement, but the photos look like we had been planning the details for months.
We wanted to capture the raw beauty and love that was shared that day and Benjamin went way above and beyond our expectations. Thank you! Will recommend time and time again.Benjamin Edwards Photography's reply:
Oh Allison, you were a princess! Truly one of the most fun weddings we've ever been a part of. I also learned valuable things, like don't drink a lot of water before riding on a bumpy snowcat ride ; ) Thank you for allowing us the blessing to tell your story my friend! -

Benjamin was such a joy to work with! We had a destination wedding so we planned over a year ahead of time. He always got back to me in a timely manner (which can be stressful for an out of state bride!) and even provided a detailed survey to get to know us as a couple, along with our wedding style. During our wedding, he provided humor, made us so comfortable in all the photos, stayed super organized with a list of photos we wanted, and of course they all turned out beautifully! If you like artsy photos, he also provides those too, along with posed/planned/family photos as well. I would highly recommend him to any and all brides!! -
