Our Wedding!

Amazing photographer on such a special day. Ben was so easy to communicate and on the day was just part of the family. The photos he sent are just phenomenal, with such a fast turn around. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for all your hard work and being able to herd both families together. Such natural shots that make all of us smiling when looking back on the day!

Christmas captured beautifully!

Our Christmas wedding was captured by Ben and we couldn’t have been more thrilled! The wind and rain wasn’t on our side for some of the morning but the photos Ben managed to get in spite of crazy December weather were beautiful and we couldn’t have been happier with how Ben was on the day, the communication and the fun we all had together on the day! Highly recommend!

The wedding photographer that we'd always hopped for

Absolutely enchanted by Ben's photographic wizardry! Discovering his work online was like finding a hidden gem, and from our initial communication to the wedding day itself, he made the entire process seamless and stress-free.

On the big day, Ben's friendly and unobtrusive presence made us feel comfortable, and it was like having a longtime friend capturing our special moments. The turnaround time for our photos was impressive, and the full gallery was ready in just 2.5 weeks.

As we scrolled through the slideshow, we were genuinely moved. Ben's talent goes beyond just taking pictures; he managed to infuse surprising elements into his work, creating unforgettable moments in our wedding memories. It felt like each image held a piece of the magic we experienced on our big day.

What truly sets Ben apart is his dedication to going above and beyond. His offer to drive me to the first look location was an incredibly touching gesture that showcased his genuine care and support. Having him as our photographer felt more like having a friend by our side, and the results were simply magical.

He also brought along a second photographer who was equally friendly, fun, and incredibly talented.

A heartfelt thank you to Ben for making our day so extraordinary!

A Tale of Two Weddings

OMG ! Ben took the most incredible wedding pictures. My new husband John and I laughed and cried at our pictures. Ben captured our day just the way we wanted fun and laughter and stunning pictures of our favorite places in Deal Kent.
We are looking forward to having Ben at our wedding blessing in November at St Ives Cornwall❤️

Ben produced pure art when photographing our wedding day!

WOW!!! Ben is truly so very, very talented! He produced pure art when photographing our wedding day!

We found Ben online and fell in love with his photography. The story-telling style, the natural shots and the creativity drew us in and we knew instantly that he was the photographer we wanted for our wedding.

The communication with Ben was fantastic throughout the booking process and in the run up to our wedding.

For two people who feel awkward having their photo taken, feeling comfortable with Ben was really important. On our wedding day, Ben arrived and honestly, it instantly felt like we'd known him a lifetime. Ben brought a second photographer called Pele who was equally friendly and also very talented.

Ben kindly sent us a few photos over within days of the wedding as we didn't have any we liked of the two of us from phones. Then within 2.5 weeks, we were sent the link to our full gallery.

When I say we cried the whole way through, I truly mean we did! Ben and Pele captured our wedding day so perfectly. As the slideshow rolled, we felt like we were reliving the entire day; every special moment was there, our most beautiful memories caught in photographs, forever!!

We can't believe how much of our day they managed to capture, without intruding on our day - they blended in so well, which made for some fantastic natural photos.

We can't thank Ben and Pele enough for perfectly capturing such treasured memories!

Highly recommend Ben!

Working with Ben was great from start to finish. He was incredibly responsive and the photos were fantastic. It was a great mix of natural and posed.

On the day he was with us from getting ready through to the dancefloor! He joined us with an apprentice which allowed them to photo both myself and my husband getting ready and were able to get different angles during the ceremony etc.

We also really appreciated his flexibility and he suggested we spend time with family and friends directly after the ceremony before taking posed photos which was great.

Overall I would highly recommend Ben for wedding day pictures. All of our guests thought he was great and we've had so many compliments on the photos.

Ben is an amazing wedding photographer

Ben took the most beautiful pictures for our wedding. He was so discreet during the day, we barely knew he was there but still captured all of or special moments. Everyone who has seen the pictures have commented on how well the pictures have captured the spirit of the day. Thanks again Ben and Shauna, we could not have wished for better pictures and experience.

Made us feel so at ease!

It was so important for us to find someone to document our wedding who would make us feel at ease on the day and who understood what we wanted from the day. Ben did just that and following an intro meeting we decided we'd love to bring him on board!

Ben is super accommodating and was able to take capture some amazing images of the day from start to end - from getting ready in the morning to when things started to get lively in the evening! A perfect documentation of the day!

Ben was excellent, beautiful photos

Ben and his assistant were fabulous. We can’t stop looking at our beautiful photos and reliving our wonderful wedding day at The Ferry house. Ben captured the setting and mood perfectly, with those special moments that just bring back all the fun, laughter and happy tears the day brought. Ben was so calm and unobtrusive, we were amazed at the shots he got without us even realising. Communication beforehand was timely and we were able to chat about what were our key ‘musts’ for the day. We shared that we were both a bit apprehensive about being centre stage, but Ben really put us at ease. We would highly recommend him to capture your special event.

Would recommend Ben to anyone!

I work as a video producer and have filmed my fair share of weddings and this probably made me a bit picky when it came to choosing a photographer for my wedding.

From the first phone call, I really liked Ben. He was friendly and professional. During our pre-wedding photoshoot, he did an amazing job at putting my fiance (who is very uncomfortable with getting his picture taken) at ease.

On the wedding day, he was so easy to work with and was on top of everything. He made me and my husband feel so taken care of. He made sure to capture everything I wanted.

The photos turned out beautiful! Everyone absolutely loved them!!!!

If you're looking for an amazing photographer you should book with Ben! You won't regret it!

The most amazing photos documenting a story of our wedding day

When we received our photos we were amazed at how Ben has captured every little moment and every different facial expression in the most beautiful way, are photos tell a story from start to finish of our wedding. Thank you for documenting our day in such a special way.

A fantastic photographer

Ben is fantastic photographer to work with. Highly attentive and engaging. Ben managed to capture every moment of our wedding day, capturing some beautiful photos as well as the less formal images which documented the uniqueness of our special day. Ben has a natural ability to make people feel totally at ease and to easily fade into the background during those precious moments throughout the day. We would highly recommend Ben.

A wonderful photographer - you won't be dissapointed!

I’ve loved Ben’s work for a long time. I knew that it could only be Ben that photographed our special day (so much so we arranged our date around his availability!). Ben is creative, highly professional, super friendly and was a joy to be around on our wedding day. He blended in seamlessly and captured all the priceless moments we could have hoped for, and more. I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve watched our slideshow - we were blown away! If you’re looking for a photographer who will produce a beautiful, authentic account of your special day, I’d highly recommend Ben - you definitely won’t regret it!

Photos that will make us smile forever 💕

Tom and Rachel captured our wedding day so beautifully, from beginning to end! We love how they captured so much that even we didn’t get to see - it’s so lovely seeing all the conversations that were happening, and the dancing!!! They captured all our key moments and then some, and most of the time we didn’t even know they were there!

What we loved about Tom’s portfolio was that he captured so many natural moments during weddings, guests and the fun they were having! And woweee, he did exactly that for us! Tom and Rachel captured all the joy, all the fun, all the magic and we are beyond overjoyed that we have these incredible photos to look back on and smile all over again! We cannot thank them enough and will treasure these photos forever.
