My husband and I are very impressed with Ben Yannette and his team! We are sooo happy we found him for our wedding via Thumbtack online. He is knowledgeable, professional, thorou...
gh, punctual, prompt with his responses, honest, direct, open to suggestions – but gives guidance to his clients, when needed, regarding the creative and technical aspects of the project – fun, has a good sense of humor, and to top it all, has an amazing personality. So, that’s him in a nutshell and the following is the basis of my overall statement about him. Firstly, I came from a corporate multimedia design/development background within events and meeting planning. So, during my search for a photographer/videographer for my wedding, I was particularly meticulous and had specific technical requirements for the vendor I’m looking for within a specific price range. From reviewing Ben’s photography portfolio, I was impressed with his work because his photos were dynamic, they weren’t flat like the others I’ve reviewed. He knew how to capture the “kodak moments” of the event, so to speak. His photos tell the story. They’re not just a group of people standing in front of the camera looking pretty. He grabs the essence of the moment. He makes it look like a photo essay. To add on to that, his photos are not flat because he knows how to play with dark and light, with movement, with texture, and with color. He’s able to blend the people with the background in a beautiful, organic way. It’s a work of art. The guy and his team are geniuses. What talent! I look at my wedding photos and they make me happy.
During the event, he and his crew were not just on time but early at the venue so that when we arrived, they were already set up and ready to go. They were also very easy to work with. It was fun having them at the event, they weren’t at all intrusive and they’re very friendly and courteous. My in-laws even made a comment the day after in terms of how they felt comfortable with them. I personally found his assistant camera guy hilarious. I chuckle every time I think of him. Overall, Ben gave us a total of 950 photos within the agreed timeline.
As for the video highlight, my husband cried after viewing it for the first time (though he would deny it to everyone…lol). Need I say more? The drone images were nicely blended into the scenes. He was able to capture the moments as they actually happened as opposed to some videographers who ask their clients to “act” a specific way as part of the clip. I thought that that was cheesy. Well, there was nothing cheesy about our video highlight. I loved the way it transitioned and how he blended the scenes into one. Ben has great video editing and video production skills.
So, I would say, if you’ve found Ben, search no more. He’s got your back and you can trust that he’ll do a great job for your special event. His passion comes out of his work. He’s not just good in what he does, he’s also very personable and professional.
I thought that Ben and his crew were very professional and attentive all of our guests loved for the things that they were doing for us including they have one taking pictures one ...
