Weddings by Ben

Many wedding photographers love to give you rules and regulations, numbers of photos, contracts, times, blah blah. I'm not into that at all. I come, shoot your wedding, make it look amazing, and give you whatever you want when I'm done. I am happy to do exactly what you want, or do my own thing as I have so many times before. I will offer my opinion but nothing is set. This is your day, you make the rules, not me.

I own and run Weddings by Ben by myself, but years in the photography business have left me with some pretty amazing contacts. I bring in the best video and photography people available to help me out with getting the best results!

Since I was very little I’ve always been active. I’ve been on camping and bicycle trips since before I can remember. My lifestyle hasn’t really changed since then. The sports have changed, the scenery has changed, and I have gotten older.

My drive to do and to explore has only increased. I have lived on 6 continents, all for different reasons, some to scuba dive, ski, trek and some just to bum around on a backpack.

My photography style has changed quite a bit over the years. It started with underwater, then moved above water to landscapes. Then landscapes turned to wildlife that was curious about why I would sit around waiting for the sun to hit the mountain just right. That then turned into people and people turned into controlling the lighting of people in my studio. I have explored so many genres of photography and really enjoy doing weddings with my spare time.

My goal with my photography is to connect with my subject. I see it as a collaboration rather than a single sided encounter. Its a symbiotic relationship that requires my subjects to get a feel and understanding of what we want to achieve as a team.
