    Choosing Ben was one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!

    My wife and I wholeheartedly recommend Ben for your wedding photography. He was incredibly professional, attentive, and skilfully captured every moment of our special day! The final photos were truly stunning, perfectly reflecting the joy of the occasion and we couldn't be more thrilled with the outcome. If you're seeking a talented photographer who genuinely cares about capturing your day beautifully, look no further.

    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!

    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.

    Top Drawer!!!!!

    Whoosh, Ben and Rachel were brilliant.
    What started with friendly and insightful communication, through to enacted upon impartial advice given by Ben. Ben and Rachel simply captured our magical day perfectly!!! It was joy to interact with them both and the moments captured throughout the whole day and evening were top drawer!

    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!

    Wonderful shots!

    Ben was a wonderful photographer to work with for our wedding. He was communicative, collaborative and really managed to capture the ambience at our wedding. We have loved looking at his wonderful shots following our wedding, which he turned round really quickly. Would highly recommend!

    Incredible photos and the best choice for our wedding day photos

    Well where to start..., Ben is absolutely fantastic and we are so pleased with all the lovely photos he captured of our special day! He handled everything with such professionalism and confidence, and made us feel totally at ease whilst doing his thing. We 100% recommend him to anyone looking, especially if documentary style photography is what you are looking for.

    Right from the start we had lots of great communication, including Zoom calls, so we could get to know each other and see some of Ben's work. He was also at the end of WhatsApp whenever we needed him which was an amazing help during the final few days leading up to the wedding.

    Our package included a pre-wedding shoot where we got to meet Ben for the first time and spend a few hours wandering around Whitstable with him. The results were excellent and definitely helped us feel more natural in front of a camera by the end of it, and we also discovered our mutual love of dogs!

    On the big day itself, Ben brought along a 2nd photographer so they could capture everything from all different angles... and boy did they capture EVERYTHING! From the getting ready at 9am, through to the live band and partying late into the evening, Ben was there (but not in an invasive way, just beautifully snapping the emotion of the day). There are some absolutely amazing shots, and some very funny ones, and each time we look at them we feel like we are right back in that moment. Overall we have over 800 photos from throughout the day, and each one is awesome.

    We also have to say we got complete value for money, and honestly feel like we could have paid a lot more for a lot less with other suppliers.

    To Ben, thank you so much for your hard work and beautiful photographs, we could not be happier and urge anyone considering to use Ben to do it!

    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!
