We were thrilled when Ben was able to travel to Santorini to capture our wedding on this beautiful Greek island.



We knew from our pre wedding shoot that we had picked the right photographer when Ben had us running around the tiny streets of Oia at sunset, climbing up old stone buildings, all to capture the perfect image with the best possible light.



Our wedding day was a relaxed day with a small group of friends and family. Ben made everyone feel comfortable and therefore was able to capture some truly amazing photos that we will cherish forever.



We couldn't recommend Ben enough as a professional wedding photographer whether you are getting married at home or abroad.

We just looked through our wedding photographs for the first time and they are fabulous. They made me smile, laugh and even have a little tear in my eye. Ben did an amazing job at capturing those little moments that have great memories.

On the big day Ben was so relaxed which meant me and Luke (and our guests!) felt very natural with him, I think this really shows in the photos. Ben really took the time to find out what we wanted and when the sun was a bit shy on the day he put a lot of effort in to finding the best light to get the 'money shots'!!

Choosing a photographer was the thing I agonised over most during the planning but I couldn't be happier with the choice and can't recommend him enough!

We had the most amazing day that was everything we hoped it would be and more. Ben was amazing, capturing all the key moments without us really noticing he was there. I think I only noticed him about 5 times during the entire day (obviously once we left my parents house!) One of the things that we liked about the package Ben offered was that there was no time limit - we wanted someone who would stay and capture some of the party as well, and we have some wonderful picures of the entire day. We are so pleased with our photographs and all our friends have commented on how good they are; one has even enquired about booking Ben for another event! Thank you so much!

We chose Ben for our Wedding in August this year and we are both so very pleased with our choice. From the moment we first met with Ben we knew he was the photographer for us.



We were very impressed with the whole process. In the run up to the wedding Ben sent us an online form to complete capturing every detail of the day; including any formal photos we wanted, contact information for the venue and suppliers and telephone numbers for the groom and bridal parties.

Closer to the day we spoke on the telephone to run through all the details and make sure we were all happy. Ben’s attention to detail really put us at ease and it meant it was one less thing we felt we had to worry about.



Ben is a friendly and easy going guy putting both us and our guests at ease which really comes across in his photos. Ben and his wonderful assistant Martin were both a pleasure to have at our wedding, much of the time it was hard to tell they were even there! The more formal posed shots were excellent but the documentary style photographs were fantastic and they really captured the essence of our special day.



We were thrilled when Ben emailed the link to our online gallery which we could share with our family and friends to view, buy and even download our photos. The branded USB stick which we received a few days later included both high resolution and low resolution copies of all our photos.



It’s true what they say about your wedding day being a blur but the photos captured by Ben and Martin gave us such a wonderful account of our wedding day to look back on today and in the future.



I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Ben to anyone looking for someone to capture their wedding or other events.



Thank you Ben!

We chose Ben because we really liked the natural and creative feel of his portfolios. Having recently had our wedding pictures back, he did not disappoint. He captured the day so well with everyone's personalities really shining through. We aren’t really comfortable in front of the camera and Ben was really good in this respect as he is very easy to get along with and unobtrusive. Our favourite shots are the more candid natural ones but the portraits came out really well too. He also captured some nice moments where maybe we let our guard down in front of the camera – this really shows his talent! He listens to what it is that you want and also feeds in great ideas of his own for the more 'arty' shots, and his understanding and use of light is great!



It was nice to meet him before the day as it helped us to relax and he even took the time to Skype with us as we are based in Bangkok. He also brought along an extra photographer to capture other angles, which was great in the church. They both came early and he stayed pretty late on the day! We will definitely recommend Ben to anyone else looking for a photographer. Thanks again, Ben!

We can't recommend Ben highly enough. Not only did he capture beautiful photos of our special day, he also made us feel at ease and incredibly comfortable whilst taking them. Ben's photos captured both great natural shots and also all the key moments. He was friendly, charming, patient and more importantly took fantastic pictures. Thank you for doing such a great job Ben

We booked Benjamin for our wedding and from start to finish he was superb.

He took time to understand what we wanted, customised his packages to fit our needs and delivered a beautiful set of photographs that we will always treasure.

Ben's unstaged documentary style was exactly what we were looking for and the maid of honour summed it up perfectly by saying "Guys, you had one talented photographer!"

We are so happy to have had Ben as our wedding photographer and we highly recommend him. Everything was very easy with him! We had to arrange things from another country but that was never an issue. Ben is very professional and he made us feel really comfortable on the day. The photos are absolutely amazing and we are very proud of them (friends and family are very impressed). It was great that Ben could be there all day and capture all the different parts of the wedding as we can now look back and remember it all quite clearly, from its best side! Thank you Ben!

Having met Ben at 3 other weddings, it was a complete no-brainer to ask him to photograph ours in May. Our pre-wed shoot was brilliant as Ben guided us gently into the intense snapping, but kept us novices at complete ease the whole time. And then on the actual wedding day, it was so refreshing to have a friendly face taking all our photos. He and Emma (lovely assistant) had a very long day but were smiling, discreet, and super professional all day, staying right to the very end. Ben was very clever to whisk us away at opportune moments to maximise the light, and take imaginative pictures, and he always managed to be in the right place at the right time to capture the funniest, cutest, most memorable moments. I could go on for ages! I would thoroughly recommend Ben to capture any special occasion, he is clearly a talented man.

Having had a bit of a disaster with booking the photographer I desperately wanted I was concerned about finding a photographer who would be able to capture the day in the way I wanted, particularly with me being an enthusiastic amateur photographer and therefore slightly fussy. We were delighted to hear from Ben and it seemed like fate that he lived in the same small town as us. As soon as we looked through his images we were impressed by the quality and loved the style as well. All the organisation was a breeze and we loved our pre-wedding shoot that we had as part of our package. On the day Ben was able to capture all of the key moments and put everyone at ease – including myself as a very nervous bride, he also made suggestions as well as listening to my ideas for what I wanted to be photographed. Ben had an assistant photographer Becky who was also fantastic, they both worked an extremely long day and were still smiling by the end! When we received our images – both on our online wedding gallery and also on a lovely branded USB – we were delighted. Ben has really captured the essence of our wedding day in exactly the way we would’ve wanted and we have loved not only looking through them ourselves but also showing them to our friends and family. Some of the images are incredibly clever and beautiful and are images that will be precious to us. Thank you so much Ben for your hard work on the day and afterwards to produce such an amazing photographic account of our special day. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Benjamin is a true professional, and we would highly recommend him for your wedding day. From start to finish he was easy to get along with, flexible to our needs and surprisingly inconspicuous on the day given how many shots he and his assistant took!



We had our wedding in March this year, and although we were fortunate to have some good weather, the wedding and reception mostly took place indoors. After the wedding we eagerly anticipated the photos from our friends and family, but found many of them had difficulties due to the lighting.



We ended up pinning all our hopes on Benjamin to come through for us, and it was a huge sigh of relief when we got a look at them on his website. Top quality, beautiful photos of the entire day. Thank you so much Benjamin :-)

Ben was brilliant from start to finish. I was unsure about having a photographer there when I got ready, but he made me feel so relaxed and it truly was like having another member of the family with us all day. He got "us" straight away and was a joy to have with us all day. So many of our guests commented on how charming and friendly he was and, although, he captured every moment we didn't feel at all "posed" or uncomfortable. We really can't rate Ben highly enough. Thank you, Ben, for making our perfect day last forever with your photos x

Ben was a great match for us because we're not all that comfortable in front of the camera so were keen not to have too many of what we thought might be "cheesy" posed photos. We loved Ben's style of reportage photos and from the very beginning of the process, right to the last hours of our wedding day he was always friendly, approachable, and professional. He was very forthcoming with advice whenever we wanted it (and we did want quite a bit!) but was always respectful of our ideas and was really good at understanding what we were getting at when we were trying to explain things (from our zero-photography-knowledge background). He was able to take our ideas and, through his experience and skill, interpret them into reality, all the while being completely unobtrusive which allowed us to spend as much time as possible with our guests, which is exactly what we wanted. He allowed us to really enjoy our day and yet still have (hopefully this goes without saying!) great photos at the end to remember it all by. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone and everyone.

Ben photographed our wedding in April and the images he produced blew us away. We could not be happier with his service. He took the time to meet with us beforehand to discuss what we wanted and was friendly, easy company. He was communicative by phone and email in the run up to our big day. At the wedding, quite honestly we barely noticed him, he was so adept at blending in! He brought a lovely wedding photography student who captured some extra angles too. But most importantly, he has given us images that are a joy to reflect on, hang in our home and share with friends and family. They are natural, artistic and perfectly capture the essence of our day and all the laughter that went with it. The pictures are something worth getting right - they stop time in a magical day that inevitably flies by - and you can't go wrong with Ben.

Ben photographed our Wedding Day for us in Brighton. He is not just a brilliant photographer, he is a lovely guy too. Nothing was ever too much for him leading up to and on the big day itself. He was very present throughout the day if we needed him, yet blended into the background to get the natural shots we were after. He arrived at 10am and didn't leave until about 11pm!

Great guy and amazing photos. Would highly recommend!

Thanks Ben! Justine and Chris

Ben is so excellent that I'm going to rant about him in sections:



First of all, Ben is a kind and friendly man to work with. It was a pleasure to meet with him before the wedding. He made a true effort to build a rapport, knowing I am generally camera-shy. He was cheerful and relaxed on the day of the wedding, and has a sense of humour, making my family and guests laugh in earnest before he took a photograph and adding a real sense of levity when I was nervous. He also made a point of coming to say goodbye to me at the end of the evening and tell me that he'd had fun.



As far as his approach to planning is concerned, we were equally impressed. If you have Ben photograph your wedding he will send you an online form to fill in giving every detail of the structure of your day and the photographs you would like or the particular needs you have. He liaises with everyone involved in your venue planning and has backup numbers from your groom's and bridal parties. He kept everything in his head on the day. His website is absolutely accurate: he is entirely unobtrusive, a fantastic documentary photographer. He was always on time throughout the day and very generous with that time. When our photographs were ready he sent us a a taster, a full gallery upload and a beautifully presented USB with two photograph formats and sizes.



Ben's skill as a photographer is the icing on the cake though. As an enthusiastic photographer I'm picky to say the least. I was utterly delighted. He knows his equipment, he captures light like a dream, he finds fun, romance and emotion in equal measure. His classic shots are beautifully constructed but our favourite photographs are those where he has waited until my husband or family showed the real side of our relationships. He paid constant attention to our guests too, which they loved. He has true creativity, impressing everyone with his shot ideas and choices of angle during the day. He is very experienced at what he does and managed the group and our timings with real sensitivity. He also took time to capture details from our wedding, to the delight of our other suppliers.



We are so happy with our photographs, showing them to our guests was such a happy moment and the reaction has been just the same as mine. I need to add him as a Facebook friend so he can read their comments.



Thank you Ben. A wonderful job in every respect.

Ben is hands down, the most creative and brilliant photographer and we are a million percent happy that he was able to capture our special day. We met him initially at our best friend’s wedding last year and his calm, fun and relaxed style meant that we pinned him down straight away for our big day. He not only makes you feel at ease, but has a knack of capturing people completely off guard and is also extremely proactive when taking “serious” wedding photos with a large family. Bottom line, we have the most incredible photos of our wedding and there isn’t one that we aren’t happy with. I would hands down recommend Ben to all and everyone and you would be so lucky to have him. Thank you Ben!

Ben did a fantastic job of our wedding! It was so much fun having him and Becky around! They were both great! I was nervous about having people around when I was getting ready but I really needn't have been. He put us all at ease and it was great fun having them both there! We are so happy with all of the photos, as it was a winter wedding in a castle the lighting was very low which we were a little concerned about but Ben has nailed it. All of the photos look amazing, everyone is so relaxed and he has captured the whole day perfectly! We can't recommend him enough!

Ben did a cracking job at our wedding and really captured the whole day beautifully. He is a relaxed and easy going guy and I was so impressed at how effortlessly he captured our personalities and was able to tell the most amazing story of our day through the fun and emotion in our faces. He blended this with subtle touches and made sure he captured all those tiny little details that makes your wedding unique and individual. We had a winter wedding in a barn with lots of candles and soft lighting. A lot of our guests' photos from the ceremony were quite dark but this wasn't an issue for Ben and we have some stunning photographs to remember for a lifetime - now we just have to decide which one's to print. Would highly recommend. Thanks again Ben.
