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!

Great photographer who captured a lot of beautiful moments on the wedding day. He lets you do your thing so you can enjoy your day with guests and be in the moment. Appreciated his efforts to keep in contact leading up to the wedding day.

Exceptional Photography for Our Special Day

We had the pleasure of working with Ben for our Civil Partnership Ceremony in Canterbury. Ben was incredibly approachable, friendly, and professional throughout. He made us feel completely at ease and captured some truly stunning shots of our special day.

Ben's expertise and professionalism shone through in every aspect, and the photos beautifully reflect the moments we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Ben to anyone in search of a wedding photographer.

Thank you, Ben, for the wonderful memories!

Highly recommended

We had the pleasure of having Ben capture our wedding a few weeks ago, and we couldn’t be happier. He completely understood our vision and fit the brief perfectly, even though it was a very untraditional wedding. He’s also just a genuinely nice guy, which made the whole experience relaxed and enjoyable.
He brought along an assistant, so we had two photographers for the price of one, which was a bonus. All of our photos were fully edited and delivered within two weeks – incredibly quick turnaround! On top of that, he surprised us with a beautiful slideshow set to the music from our ceremony, which was such a thoughtful touch. All in all, an excellent experience and we’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.

Fantastic Wedding Photographer

We are so happy with our wonderful wedding photos. They captured all the different moments throughout the day - it really feels like we are reliving it when we look through them! He was also a relaxing presence on the day and, despite capturing so many beautiful moments, he was never intrusive - just very professional and skilled at what he does! I would highly recommend Ben and could not have asked for more.

Thank you Ben!

We could not thank Ben enough for capturing our day so beautifully! He was relaxed and made us feel at ease but also kept us to time throughout the day to make sure he got the perfect shots. We are so happy with our photos, the entire day was captured through everyone's emotions and the photos tell a wonderful story of our the best day of our lives. Ben also brought an assistant photographer which meant we had 2 angles of the day, which was great. We would 100% recommend Ben as a wedding photographer. Thank you again Ben from the bottom of our hearts.

Fantastic images

Ben was really great and made us feel very at ease during the day. The photos we received were brilliant, lots of candid photos and shots we didn't even know were being taken. He brought an assistant at no extra cost who got extra angles as we got ready at separate places. The turnaround to receiving photos was less than 2 weeks!

Sure, there are things missing like the ceremony photos are all from behind my husband's head so there's not one of his face, and there's a lack of details e.g our rings, flowers, something old/new/blue etc but we hadn't told Ben that those things were important to us (didn't know we would need to and was so caught up in our day so maybe more guidance was needed from Ben?)

Overall we are very very happy with the service and pictures we received and would recommend Ben's services

Perfect Natural Documentary Photogrpaher


Ben is a wonderful wedding photographer who beautifully captured our day on 22nd May 2025. From the initial inquiry to the day itself, he was efficient, relaxed, and reassuring. We received lovely portraits, and he took the time to document candid and natural interactions, as well as the overall atmosphere of the day. Ben was friendly and professional. He made us feel at ease while having our photos taken, and we never felt rushed. He got photos we didn’t think he was there to capture, so we were pleased with those. He was there without us knowing he was there which meant we could really relax and enjoy our day. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for natural, unposed wedding photos.

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!

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.
