Just perfect

Ben was fantastic from start to finish.
His expertise and knowledge of our venue was second to none, and so many people commented on how lovely he was on the day as well.
We felt relaxed, we got all the photos we could have dreamt of and more, and the turn around time on our images was unbelievable.
His packages are fantastic, and our parents adore their little versions of our album (which is stunning as well).
Thank you so much Ben, we are so grateful that it was you who captured our special day.

Ben is the Best

Ben was the photographer for our wedding and having seen some of the sneak peaks of his work I am so glad we booked with him.
He is friendly, easy to get along with, and helps to make you feel at ease.
Posing for photographs isn't something I'm particularly natural at but he really made me feel at ease.
I'd recommend Ben if you are after professional photos, and a really easy to get on with person behind the lens.
100/10 would recommend.

Incredible wedding photographer

Ben was our photographer for our wedding in July at Long Melford Church and Smeetham Hall Barn. We are so incredibly happy with the photos from our day, we can't stop looking at them! Ben was so calm and professional completely putting us at ease and getting the perfect mix of group photos and natural shots throughout the day and into the evening.

We opted for the USB package recieving the full album on a personalised wooden USB in the post as well as an online wedding album which was really good value.

Thank you so much for your amazing work Ben, we are so grateful for the photos and have had so many compliments on them from family and friends.

Perfect

Thank you Ben for making sure we will forever remember our wedding day at Leez Priory on 30th October 2015.

We couldn't have asked for a better photographer. You were so professional, helpful and supportive throughout our day. Thank you for keeping us on track with the tight schedule we had, and for remembering all the specific photos we had discussed during our planning meeting.
Our guests were so impressed with the way our photos have turned out and we couldn't have been happier, especially with those Autumn colours you managed to capture so beautifully.

Thank you for helping to keep our perfect wedding day in an album for us to look at and remember forever.

Awesome!

Ben photographed our wedding on March 7th this year and he has been absolutely amazing the whole day! Photos were amazing and the ones he showed our guests before the start of the evening on his laptop got brilliant comments from them.
He's also done our thank you cards (which look amazing!) and we are impatiently waiting for our book!
Ben you have been awesome, thanks again!!!!!

Fantastic photos

This is probably one of the hardest decisions to make when booking suppliers as the photos are all you have left to remind you of the special day. What a relief that I booked Lavenham photography, the photos were fantastic. Ben was very polite and friendly, he wasn't over overpowering, I have been to so many weddings where the photographer is often a little rude or very intrusive. Ben was very nice he made a point of remembering all the names of the important members of the family, which was a task in itself as my husbands parents are both remarried! I have a photo of every stage of the wedding, when you flick through the photos its as if its been filmed. I couldn't have asked for better photos they are stunning.

The most beautiful pictures

I cannot recommend Lavenham photography highly enough. We have the most beautiful pictures of our wedding day. There is a good mix of lined up group photos and also many wonderful natural shots which Ben took while the day progressed. Ben also went round capturing photo's of all our guests to ensure we had shots of everyone there. They are beautiful pictures and we couldn't have been more pleased and we have various shots displayed round our house reminding us of our amazing day. Thanks Ben, you did an outstanding job.

Couldn't have asked for more!

I wanted lots of photos of my big day but I didn't want to stand in front of a camera for hours...and Ben got the mix spot on. I looked at the photos after and was amazed at how many had been taken without me even noticing him, it was exactly what a wanted and I was spoilt for choice for my storybook. Would recommend him 100%.

Proffessional, a relaxed wedding party & fab photos

We were married in 2010 and were so glad that Ben provided the photography services. He was very courteous, mingling as one of teh guests to take natural photos of the occasion. It was lovely to see these after the event. I ahve a split family & Ben dealt with this situation brillliantly as well as ensuring photos with our elder members were completed first. So they could go for a well earned cup of tea. One of my bridesmaids is a proffessional photographer & she didn't feel the need to get her camera out whihc was brilliant as she's actually in the photos!
He also stayed later than planned to get evening shots and becuase our plans didn't run to schedule.
Thank you so much Ben! From the happy couple, who are now 2 years later a happy family :)

There aren't really sufficient words to describe..

Just like our whole wedding day, there aren't really sufficient words to describe how happy we are with Lavenham Photographic.
From the first point of contact with Ben, his professionalism and genuine passion shone through. He immediately made us feel at ease when he arrived and his energy throughout the entire day was second to none. (He even endured our best man's need to follow our bride/groom shoot around the venue with prosecco with patience and good humour!!)
Ben never felt overbearing with his need to photograph, yet he was confidently present to make sure that he captured moments that we will cherish forever - this is a real art & reflects how experienced he is.
And the photos? Just wow. Everything we wanted.
Thank you so so much Ben!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to make your big decisions easier.
