We are stunned and thrilled by Ben’s work. After seeing his photos from another friend’s wedding, and his photos of nature, we knew we must connect with him immediately to handle p...
hotography for our wedding. Ben was incredibly flexible, communicative, and helpful throughout the process, both leading up to and during the most special days of our lives. He also adjusted our contract to include a few hours of pics during our rehearsal dinner and welcome party.
We connected with Ben via phone, text, and email multiple times, and worked together to create a shared Google Doc with timelines, groupings for family and wedding party portrait shots, couple shots, and other moments we were hoping to capture. It takes an immensely patient and organized person to handle our families. Ben didn’t skip a beat and was so gracious with all of us.
As lovers of the arts and art history, we know a camera can collect a moment in time, but it takes the caring, attentive eye of an artist to truly encapsulate a moment’s feeling and subtle vibrations that make a photograph a trace of our human experience. Ben is a special, gifted person who has such eyes, as well as the presence to go along with them.
Of note—having witnessed weddings and heard horror stories where photographers are pulling the married couple in so many directions that they can’t live through and enjoy the day, we were so amazed at how Ben was able to weave through the events and be a part of it without being intrusive. He was clearly in a flow state as he snapped candid shots that feel organic rather than forced. We were also pleasantly surprised that he decided to take some quality videos on his phone of us boogying down on the dance floor.
You need Ben to be your photographer as much as he deserves all the good things in his life. Stop looking. Don’t hesitate. Ben will help your memories glow, and you will see the most special day of your life reappear before you, just as—if not more—stunning and beautiful as you remember it.
Much gratitude 🙏

Ben was an absolute dream to have as a photographer!
We eloped to the mountains of Zionville, NC where we had a small, intimate ceremony in a beautiful mountain lodge. When we sta...
rted our search, we were looking for a photographer that could capture our day as naturally as it could be and Ben did just that.
We reached out to Ben about 6 months before our wedding and he got back to us in a timely manner with helpful information. He suggested we have a phone conference to chat about our needs and get to know each other. There was no pressure or rush from him to get us booked which was refreshing. We are very much 'vibes' people and Ben passed the vibes check with flying colors. When we made the decision, he took payment multiple ways so it was easy to make that transaction from out-of-state.
Ben traveled a good distance to the house/ venue and showed up at the time we agreed upon. I was getting ready when he arrived but to quote my grandpa about the before ceremony photos, "He was like a ninja! One minute he was over there taking pictures of the flowers then he was taking pictures through the window!" He captured all the little details that I never would have thought of.
If I'm being honest, I didn't see him during the ceremony. He was also a ninja in those moments capturing the expressions of everyone in the room.
We had very special, unplanned moment after the formal ceremony where everyone (15 of us) came back to the "alter" and hugged and laughed and rejoiced about the joining of our two families. Ben captured those hugs and smiles and we will cherish those photos forever.
If you've made it this far, book him! Ben was extremely personable, down to earth, professional, and fun. His prices are better than most and his artwork is dreamy and natural. 100/10 would absolutely recommend to anyone! Thanks again, Ben!

In addition to being fantastic day of, he is great at communication and keeping in touch and sent the edited photos back to us in such a timely manner.

ry stressful so being able to put complete faith in the photographer definitely lifted a huge weight off of my shoulders. Ben was great at directing my husband and I for all the couple shots, same for when it came to corralling the rest of our families for photos. He hung back the entire time and wasn't intrusive in any way- yet still managed to get shots of all the important moments and tons of things I had no clue he captured. It was great being able to see all the photos after the wedding and relive the day. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone!

To be completely candid, I actually have known Ben for over ten years. He was actually my teacher when I was in high school. I knew from the moment I got engaged, actually probably...
before getting engaged, that I wanted Ben to do our engagement photo as well as photographing our wedding! That being said, I have to praise the way he went above and beyond to capture our special day. Despite our original wedding date getting canceled due to COVID, Ben still could capture our new wedding date. COVID did not scare him. He was up for the challenge as long as we were! We talked on the phone before everything, so I knew exactly what we wanted and the day's plan. Ben came very early in the morning while all the girls were getting ready and stayed until dark when we left. He captured so many precious details I would have never thought about! He was able to capture so many good candid photos while everyone was getting ready that highly depicted that day's emotions! Not only is Ben an outstanding photographer, but he is also such an awesome guy to be around. He has always been very personable, down to earth, but also very professional. He made sure through everything that my husband and I were comfortable with everything. Even after the wedding, he contacted us about how all of the editing processes were going. He would send us to sneak peek photos that melted our hearts! One of my favorite details that Ben put into our photos was the wooden flash drive he sent us with one of our photos printed on it, and it was all wrapped up in lace in a little box. It was the perfect way to receive all of our photos! If I could give any newly engaged couples a piece of advice, it would be… don't skip out on wedding photos. Hire someone who you know will take amazing photos. You can never redo that day! You will not regret your choice to choose Ben for your special day or event!

Ben provided the photography services for our wedding which took place off the Blue Ridge Parkway north of Asheville in the summer of 2020.
He was on POINT in so many ways!
I’m...
a landscape photographer based out of WNC so I of course had high expectations for the person shooting our wedding. Ben exceeded my expectations in every category.
His ability to capture intimate moments between family members and the breathtaking scenery around us was top notch. His laid back personality meshed well with the group yet his attentiveness to the events happening helped him capture all the moments we want to remember.
He was professional and respectful. He was timely in getting us a couple dozen photos soon after the wedding and then mailed us an awesome flash drive with so many more great photos to look through.
Ultimately we not only ended up with outstanding images from our wedding day that we will cherish forever, but we ended up with someone whom we now call a friend. Thanks Ben for all the hard work!

Ben was the best photographer I could have asked for. He was incredibly flexible and very easy to work with. He knew how to capture all of the important moments. My favorite photos...
I view in wedding albums are the candid photos. They always seem to portray the pure essence of the event. I expressed this opinion to Ben and he blew me away with the shots that he took. He had and eye for the important moments that needed to be captured.
Every single picture perfectly captured the joy that the day was filled with. He was professional and respectful and a whole lot of fun to work with. His pricing is fantastic, especially for those of us on a budget. You don't have to break the bank to get great pictures.
The quality of photos is even better than most high priced wedding photography. Lots of photographers try to tell you exactly what pictures you should take which is helpful to a point.
Ben was fantastic at listening to my ideas and following through with them as well as making suggestions I never would have thought about. To make the long story short, Ben was the best photography choice I could have made and I love looking back on the photos he took of this important day any chance I get.
