Ben Saefke Photography

g a breeze. The engagement session could not have gone better. Ben did a fantastic job not making it feel staged. He kept it light and fun in order to capture the little moments throughout the day. He was able to work with our lack of knowledge around the poses and brought a ton of great ideas that led to our favorite pictures overall. When it came to the wedding, Ben and Deanna were the perfect pair. They were able to capture both the bridal suite and the grooms room at the same time so no moment was missed. When it came time for group shots, their attention to even the smallest details made sure every shot looked stunning and the best locations were included. The ability to capture different angles during the ceremony and reception also gave us some unique viewpoints we weren't expecting. To this day, we still have family and friends talking about how friendly and fun they were and how great our photos are. As a bonus, we couldn't believe how many photos were included. We couldn't the day without Ben and Deanna there to capture it.

hey are such nice people, very knowledgeable on how to capture every detail of the day, and great with helping everyone feel comfortable and natural for the exciting, yet long, day of picture taking and memory making :) they are also such fun, genuine people to talk to and have be a part of your wedding day! Very reasonable prices too!! We couldn't be happier with the pictures they gave us, and were also so grateful to have met them, they did a simply amazing, awesome job of capturing our wedding!

They are nothing short of amazing to work with and are extremely professional. They went above our expectations and were very flexible and understanding with our date changing 2x due to COVID. We appreciated their willingness to meet us at our venue before our wedding day to scope it out for good picture spots. They also turned into makeshift event coordinators the day of our wedding (the actual event coordinator ending up having to quarantine due to COVID exposure a day before the wedding). I've never had so much fun taking pictures and they made sure our family photos went smoothly too (they are great with kids). We HIGHLY recommend using Ben and Deanna for your big day. You will NOT be disappointed.

They went above and beyond, doing all the little touches. We are in love with our photos and we are so happy we could share them with the loved ones who could not come due to circumstances. It also ended up being the last time we were with one of our grandmothers before she passed, and Ben found this amazing shot of her watching us - it is one of my favorite photos and memories of the day!

ese guys are the best! They’re professional, fun, kind and hard working AND their photos are stunning. I highly recommend Ben Saefke Photography!

ot. My sister is going to even hire them for her wedding when it comes around!

with and his a eye for pictures and the best spots. Highly Suggest!

ly received our sneak peak photos so far but we are in love! You spend just as much time on your wedding day with your husband as you do your photographers so you want to make sure you pick wisely. I promise, you will not be disappointed with these two. They are sweet, fun and easy-going and also know how to handle a large bridal party! Highly recommended!

awesome, fixing my dress, necklace, hair, and adding the perfect touches to all of the shots. If I could give 6 stars I would in a heart beat! Simply the best. Thank you both SO much!!!

ver they could to make sure we were comfortable. Highly recommend!!

otography. They took a great mixture of posed and candid photos and both types are really well done. If we could do it all over again, we would hire Ben and Deanna without a second thought.

sband and I could not be happier with all of our photos! What we appreciated the most about Ben and Deanna is how they made us, our friends, and our families feel completely at ease all day. It made for the best wedding photos! Ben and Deanna also dont miss a detail. They are incredible! We can't recommend them enough!

ure to get all of our must-have shots plus so many more! We got 1400 photos, and loved seeing the same moment from different angles. Seriously well done!

desire to please us is amazing! By the end of the day they became our friends and we were constantly laughing! Highly recommend!!!

picture and are just fun people.... They work well as a team and individually. Several of my guests commented how great they were. I could not be happier, I have not received my full album but the preview pictures are amazing, as were our engagement pictures. Highly recommend them!

ght release of your photos. In addition, they include an engagement session. Ben and Deanna were so easy to work with and the guests loved them! Ben was extremely helpful in making the guys laugh and feel comfortable. Deanna was amazing as well. She was very attentive and it was great having another set of eyes to make sure your hair and dress were perfect. Making the ring bearer smile was not easy to do, but Deanna worked her magic. We had so many compliments from our families, friends and wedding party about how great they both were and couldn’t believe how involved Ben and Deanna were! They did an amazing job capturing our day from start to finish, including all of the little details that I would have never thought of. They truly went above and beyond to make our wedding day so special! My husband and I would highly recommend Ben and Deanna to anyone looking for affordable, helpful and fun photographers!

nds and family. They went above and beyond on our wedding day to ensure all the moments we wanted were captured. Ben and Deanna are so fun and knowledgeable, we were so fortunate to have worked with them. They captured our special moments along with every special detail. Ben has always been quick to respond to all my calls and emails before and after the wedding! We were so lucky to have them be a part of our wedding and to also see them in action at a friend’s wedding a few weeks later. I would highly recommend them to any couple! We will definitely be using them in the future.

rom our families and our wedding party about how great both Ben and Deanna were. They truly went above and beyond and we would highly, highly recommend them.

only took over 1500 great photos of our wedding day (10 hours and 2 photographers), but they were also affordable! They offer a ton of different packages and include the copyright release of your photos and an engagement session as well. Ben and Deanna were also super easy to work with and everyone (including my husband and I) were in LOVE with all of the photos that they took! They did a great job capturing our day from start to finish, including all of the little details that are easy to miss. I cannot thank them enough for all of the great photos they gave us to choose from and would recommend them to anyone looking for an affordable and awesome wedding day photographer! We will definitely be using them again for all of our photo needs! :D

share photos I liked with her! It was nice to go into both sessions with a clear idea of what we wanted to achieve. Ben traveled to where we wanted to meet for our engagement shoot (the Gateway trail in Lake Elmo), walked for miles with us in the muggy August heat, and even took some great photos of our naughty dogs. On the day of our wedding, Deanna stayed by my side and ensured that my dress and hair were perfect for all the photos and helped with complicated poses. Their patience, creative eye, and sense of humor created amazing photos - about 2000 photos, I believe, and I love every single one of them. We will certainly be using Ben (and Deanna!) again for future photo sessions!

d highly recommend him. His partner is his wife who also is wonderful to work with. She helped me more than my personal attendant did! She was very attentive and it's great having another set of eyes to make sure your hair and dress are perfect. They are very prompt the day of the wedding and flexible with whatever the weather brings. I would highly recommend Ben.

o work with and very easy to get along with. Ben is so fun and Deanna has great attention to detail. We will definitely work with them again in our future once we decide to expand our family :)

don't know how they kept their cool even in the 90 degree heat! I needed them to take the lead and do exactly what they did. They had amazing ideas and I have no doubt the pictures will be perfect. I highly recommend this wonderful duo!

these two!

mily and wedding party, yet they were able to capture all the shots in the short time frame and still had time for more. Their packages typically include cds with all the photo images AND their copyrights, so that you own ALL of the photos and don't have to pay per image. They also did our engagement pics and everyone raved about how great they turned out. GREAT VALUE and EXCELLENT service and just all around great photographers to work with!

d a morning wedding and an evening reception they both stayed with us through the entire day! And they were so very reasonably priced!;The only draw back is that he sometimes takes a while to respond to communications.
