Fantastic wedding photographer!

We couldn't recommend Ben more - he recently photographed our wedding at a barn/farm venue in West Sussex and we truly couldn't be happier with the pictures! He somehow managed to capture all the joy, colour and love of the day, making sure to get all the important group shots without anything feeling forced, but also capturing small, magical spontaneous moments and beautiful shots of all our guests! I had no idea he was there for so many of those moments - he somehow managed skilfully to be a totally unobtrusive presence while capturing everything perfectly. His assistant Matt was also brilliant.
Ben was a lovely presence on the day and polite, communicative and friendly throughout the whole process, from start to finish. Would highly recommend him as your wedding photographer!

Wedding 28.12.24

We were lucky enough to find Benjamin who we chose to be our official photographer on our wedding day. Benjamin and his colleague were a real joy to work with, so warm and friendly and professional and took some fabulous ‘candid’ photos exactly as we wanted
I would highly recommend you use Benjamin for your special event!

Fantastic photos, helped us relax during portraits!

Ben took our wedding photos this year and he was fab from start to finish. He was easy to get a quote from and have an initial chat with and we liked his vibe immediately. He suggested bringing a second photographer (Kat) as an assistant and it was really nice to be able to get two angles. All in all, Ben & Kat had a calming presence, helped us calm down and get some nice portraits when we were in a rush and felt a bit overwhelmed, and took some absolutely gorgeous candid photos that captured authentic special moments between us and our favourite people. Looking through these photos made it feel like we were getting married all over again.

Highly recommend

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Ben to capture our special day. He was nothing short of perfect, he put us at ease from the beginning of the day. Ben made the whole experience enjoyable and comfortable. We absolutely love our wedding photos and will treasure them for years to come. Would highly recommend Ben and thanks again for making our day extra special.

A Great Photographer for a Great Day

Ben was incredibly easy to work with leading up to the wedding and helped put many of our worries at ease. On the day, he introduced himself and his apprentice and was thoroughly professional throughout. We barely noticed him half the time, which was perfect for us since we wanted mostly candid photos. He also subtly guided us aside during quiet moments to capture some beautiful shots of my wife and me.

I would definitely recommend Ben for his professionalism, good humor, and stunning results. You won’t be disappointed with the pictures! Now, our only challenge is deciding which photos to include in our wedding album.

Great service and photos

We've had Ben for our wedding and he's been fantastic. We didn't notice him at all and he has managed to catch so many genuine moments and emotions. His turnaround was quick and the photos are stunning. They have exceeded our expectations. We would highly recommend Ben and his work.

Beautiful and vivid memories of our biggest day!

Ben and his assistant captured our summer fete style wedding, and we absolutely love our photo collection. We wanted documentary style photography to capture candid moments throughout the day and we have a brilliant mix of fun portraits and in-between moments of our guests enjoying themselves. We are so grateful that he caught all the special details that we'd carefully planned but seemed so fleeting on the day itself. Ben was also really nice to have around, and helped keep things moving while not putting pressure on the relaxed feel of the day. Thank you!

A truly magical experience

We had an incredible experience with Ben. From the very start, he made us feel completely comfortable and supported. His assistant was equally amazing, and we couldn’t be more excited about how the photos turned out. What I love most about Ben’s work is his ability to capture spontaneous, sweet moments. His style evokes the charm of a nostalgic romantic film, with impeccable direction. I’m thrilled we found him and can’t recommend him highly enough!

Ben was absolutely wonderful! He captured our day so perfectly. I’m so thankful to him and the assistant photographer for the work they’ve done.

Looking at the photos it’s like we’re right back at the barn, experiencing that magical day.

Highly recommend him!!

Do not use any other Photographer !!! Simply Superb.

Ben and Pele photographed our wedding, and they were simply outstanding. I did not want a photographer constantly asking me to stand around and have pictures taken. Ben and Pele simply blended in, as if they were not there, yet the results were superb. When I did speak to Ben and Pele, they were fun, engaging, and really made the day super special. There is a knack to getting the best pictures, pictures you did not know were taken yet capture your day completely, brilliantly, and effortlessly. Ben and Pele did this for us, and for that I cannot recommend Ben highly enough, and cannot thank him enough. R.

Beautiful photography by Ben

Ben was our wedding photographer and did an amazing job capturing our day. He was very discrete during our ceremony while also getting the perfect shots. During our photoshoot, he really knew his stuff by helping us get the best moments (and angles!). I couldn't recommend him enough.
