    Made our dream photos come true!

    I don't know where to start, Ben was absolutely amazing throughout. Ben was friendly, professional and even offered us a complimentary engagement shoot which was lovely to get some practice in before the big day.

    On the day of the wedding Ben was an absolute expert at capturing all the big moments without being intrusive. The images we received back are absolutely beautiful and beyond anything I could have ever imagined. They are all full of character, love and authentic moments.

    He made every effort to get all the images we requested before he left and a lot of my guests have complimented how great he was on the day. Cannot sing his praises enough. Ben you've absolutely made our day and we will treasure these images forever.

    Thank you for everything, you are an absolute camera whizz.

    Incredible!

    We found Ben via Hitched, and after seeing how beautiful his photos were we reached out to book with him.

    From our pre-wedding shoot to the wedding day Ben was amazing. He has such a friendly & patient manner, he made us all feel so at ease. Especially as the last half hour before the ceremony ended up a little chaotic, Ben stayed so calm and ensured we still got all of the shots.

    Can't recommend him enough, we were so pleased & surprised by how late he stayed to get those party photos. Thank you Ben!

    An easy to use, experienced professional service that left us free to enjoy our celebration, safe in the knowledge that Ben had everything in hand.

    From the first moment we contacted Ben we could see he was professional, honest and experienced. His communications were quick and he always answered promptly when we had a query. He explained in detail what he would do on the night, leaving us both in no doubt as to his competence. This meant on the night of our celebration we were free to enjoy the company of our guests, leaving all of the photography in the capable hands of Ben. He was an expert at being in the room but keeping out of the way, something which put our guests at ease and allowed for some truly amazing, but natural shots of the event. When we saw the photos he had taken we were impressed, both by the quality of the pictures, and the way in which he had taken them. Overall an excellent service and experienced person to work with, and we whole heartedly recommend him. We're are so happy with his work that we have booked him for my husbands 50th birthday next year. Thank you Ben, sterling work...

    Wouldn’t have wanted anybody else capturing our happiest day! Thanks Ben

    Ben is the best! Thank you for being with us and capturing our happiest day.

    Ben worked so hard through the hottest day of the year. He with us from early in the morning until our sparkler exit. He’s an absolute pro.

    The photos we got back captured exactly how we felt. The joy, happiness and the heat of the day. Ben has a talent for finding great compositions and capturing form and light.

    As well as gathering the right people at the right times and ensuring we got everything on our list Ben captured little beautiful moments throughout the whole day that we might have missed and were such a pleasure to look back on.

    Most importantly we loved having Ben around! He is great company and put us at ease. We did an engagement shoot that helped to get us used to being photographed which Beth was particularly nervous about but those photographs are amazing and also up on our walls.

    We received the photographs in an easy to use USB format which came beautifully presented- it was lovely to open. We even have the gift box on display!

    Thanks

    Ben Stoney is an amazing photographer!

    We first met Ben for a pre shoot and instantly felt at ease with him. He made everything comfortable and easy from the moment we made contact. On our wedding day, you’d hardly know Ben was there because he was so subtle all day long. The photographs he produced were incredible - everyone we have shared them with have all commented on how brilliant they are. We are chuffed to bits and would use Ben again if we ever had any photography needs. You are brilliant!

    Amazing & memory making

    Ben was amazing from when we first booked with him. He explained we would get a pre wedding photo shoot, and this was arranged about 4 months prior to the big day and was used as a get to know each other. We received approximately 40 photos from this via email. Then on the big day Ben was total amazing we booked him for 8 hours and he was there a little longer due to issues with the dances, he has happy to remain until all the special dances were completed. Throughout the day Ben blended in with the guests and took the photo he needed to with been too obvious so we got some great natural shots. He listened to what we want and took those we requested.
    The after care was superb also. We received the photos via email within 6 weeks edited with approximately 400 photos taken from the day., which we could share with those we wanted too. We then received a memory stick with all the photos on this was presented it’s a wooden box with a special photo on with a key ring meaning we can print all the photos from the day and save them. This was hand delivered by Ben. He is very friendly was so happy we chose him to capture our special day. Thank you Ben

    Can’t thank Ben enough for photographing our day so perfectly!

    Ben was amazing from start to finish. He knew exactly what style of photos we liked and pictured our day perfectly. Can’t thank him enough for photographing our special day so we have photos to look back on forever.

    Above and beyond

    Ben was so friendly and helpful from the very beginning! He took so much time to make sure he captured everything we asked for from guests to room decorations. We wanted a relaxed and natural style of photos and Ben was brilliant and capturing the atmosphere of the wedding. He made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and he was there to help for anything we needed and last minute requests. Our photo gallery was beautiful to look at and all our friends and family agreed what a friendly and amazing photographer Ben is! We chose the option to have our photos on a USB and the presentation of this was amazing, personalised and hand delivered! I would highly recommend Ben, he felt like more of a friend than just a photographer!
