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!

Highly recommended

We would highly recommend Benjamin Toms Photography. Ben was our photographer at our wedding on 27.03.25. Any pre wedding queries were answered quickly - Ben was fun and interactive on the day with the wedding party and guests. The photos he has produced are outstanding, he has captured our day and memories perfectly.
We sent the short video he produced to our guests and we have received such great feedback. Thanks again Ben you was fantastic and we are really happy with your photography excellent standard! Nichola & Dean

Extremely talented photographer- documentary style

My partner and I spent a good 9 months searching for the right photographer for our wedding. After endless scrolling and looking at what felt like a million couples photos (which were mainly posed or gorgeous photos only because it had a stunning backdrops), I came across Ben's photos. His style was exactly what we were after- candid, in the moment type photos. No one really looking at the camera and just capturing moments as they happened. I think it's called documentary style photography. Anyway, what sealed the deal for us was the little video he sent to us of all his favourite photos from the year before. We were sold. Come the day of our wedding, we genuinely didn't even feel like we had a photographer (which is what we wanted). When he sent us the photos, we both couldn't believe how beautifully he captured our day. Ben is extremely talented and has the eye for the right photo. We didn't have a gorgeous backdrop for our wedding so you wouldn't be able to just take 'amazing' photos because we didn't have a castle in the backdrop or a church with stained glass windows etc. He was exactly what we needed and I would highly recommend him to anyone who is wanting natural photos. Oh last thing, we loved that he gave us colour and black and white photos.

Wedding photography

Benjamin is all we wanted in a wedding photographer. His documentary style of photography captured the moments that are often missed. We have been looking at photos saying ‘we didn’t realise he was even there!’
Thank you for capturing our special day so well! We’d recommend you to anyone :)

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!

Ben was an amazing photographer for our wedding!! He was professional, friendly and he genuinely seemed to have fun - such a plus! His assistant was also great! They made everyone feel comfortable and at ease when taking both the formal shots as well as all of the candid ones. Absolutely love how it all turned out!

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.

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.

We were so happy with Ben Toms from beginning to end. He made the process easy, he was professional, timely, explained the steps. He captured our wedding beautifully, going for more natural and candid shots, capturing the emotion of the day. We highly recommend him!

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!

Simply magical ✨

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.
