About this vendor
Hi! Nice to meet you. I'm a 28 year old natural light wedding photographer capturing love stories in Arkansas and beyond! I've been shooting weddings professionally for almost 10 years (wow that sounds insane to say!) My style is influenced by my love of color, natural light and authentic love. I use a good mix of documentary style + giving as much direction as a couple needs so that they don't feel awkward for any of those posed traditional type shots that their parents will want for their walls. I love when clients become friends by the time the wedding day rolls around and everything just feels so effortless, and not like a stranger playing paparazzi on one of those most important days of your life! I try my best to bring every couple out of their shells, crack stupid jokes and tell crazy stories to make them laugh and forget about being nervous in front of the camera.

Working with Ben is literally the best photography experience I’ve ever had. I loved how quickly he was able to get everyone in and out and how professional he is. He shot my weddi...
ng yesterday and it truly couldn’t have gone smoother. He also takes very high quality photos and makes you feel very comfortable in front of the camera. He even gave me a preview of pictures the night of my wedding so that I’d have something to post. So nice! 10 out of 10 would recommend.
Wonderful to work with! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating!
Ben’s professionalism and talent cannot be matched. He was willing to fly across the country to photograph our wedding and we could not have chosen anyone better suited for the tas...
k. Not only were the photos surreal in their quality, but he was also fun and easy to be around. His personality puts you at ease which makes each session a great experience which translates to better end results. Ben’s artistic vision is the best there is.
We had the best time shooting our engagement pictures, bridals and wedding with Ben! His ability to capture natural light is unparalleled. I discovered that my veil wasn’t packed w...
ith my dress the day of the wedding, but Ben went above and beyond and quickly contacted our wedding planner and other contacts to help find me one. He truly is incredible to work with! We love our previews and cannot wait to see the rest of our wedding pictures!
We are beyond grateful that we used Benjamin for our elopement ceremony. He went above and beyond to make sure our day was as perfect as we could imagine it. Within minutes of meet...
ing him, he stepped in and helped me put on my dress. He made sure I stayed comfortable while walking in heels. Our pictures look great! If it weren’t for him our day wouldn’t have been as perfect as it turned out today. I will forever be thankful for him. Do yourself a favor and hire a great photographer!
I can’t say enough nice things about Benjamin Martin. Firstly, he was a great communicator. He checked in several times before the wedding date, answered emails shockingly fast, an...
d truly had all the answers for things I was unsure about! On the wedding day, he was a dream. Calm, funny, professional, a helping hand, and extremely friendly with friends and family. He did a great job at directing us for photos, including wrangling together all of our guests for the sparkler exit photos! We enjoyed him so much as a person, and we are blown away by how beautiful the photos came out. Hire him!! He is truly a gem!!
There are no words for just how amazing of a job Ben will do. He was much more than a photographer on our wedding day, even helping me put my earrings on while getting dressed. He ...
made the day so much fun and stress free, guiding us through every step along the way. There is no way we would have made it through the day without him - he absolutely went above and beyond. His positivity and personality were an absolute gift as he helped make our wedding day the most perfect day we could have ever imagined. We feel so incredibly blessed to have had him be a part of our day and could not imagine having any other photographer. I will be recommending him to anyone for any photography needs as he is the absolute best you could ask for. We cannot thank Ben enough for everything he did for us.
Ben is an amazing photographer and provides a fabulous experience throughout the entire process! Both bride and groom come from very large families with a wide span of ages and per...
sonalities. Add in a large wedding party and what could have been a stressful event was an absolute joy simply because of Ben! His laid-back yet professional approach was just what we needed to make for a fun-filled day of precious memories that he captured perfectly!
I’ve known Ben forever and I’m amazed by his talent. He’s always taken our family photos so as soon as I was engaged I knew that no one but Ben would be taking my wedding pictures....
In fact, I planned the date around Ben bc I had to have him at my elopement. He’s not only fun to work with but he’s a natural at capturing the most beautiful pictures, even the small moments that you’d never think to ask someone to snap. There are days where I still go scrolling through my wedding pictures, just in awe at every single detail he noticed. Ben has continued to capture all of the most important moments in my life and he captures them perfectly. Thanks to Ben, I have memories recorded to last a lifetime.
Look no further! Benjamin’s work speaks for itself, and he is an amazing talent. He is so kind and puts everyone he works with at ease, especially for group shots and our first loo...
k! He really got to know us and personalized our photos in a way that is uniquely us! There is not a day that goes by that I don’t look at our pictures. I can’t imagine not having these incredible photos to look back on. He captured every meaningful moment so beautifully. A true artist.
We would highly recommend Benjamin for your wedding photos (or any photos for that matter)! We met him for the first time in person on the day of our engagement photo shoot. Neithe...
r my husband nor I are experienced in the world of taking professional photos and were very nervous and feeling awkward about the whole thing. But Benjamin was extremely welcoming and warm and helped us feel very comfortable. On the day of our wedding, he was so kind and amazingly efficient (didn’t make us stand out in the heat and sweat through a billion photos). He knows what he’s doing and is a pro at it. Not only is he a great person that you’ll end up being friends with after it’s all over, but he takes absolutely incredible photos and takes care of his clients. We’ll be booking Benjamin for all our future photo sessions!
When looking for a wedding photographer, choosing Ben was a no brainer! We met for coffee beforehand and got to talk and he made us feel very confident in our decision. He made us...
feel comfortable during every session (engagements, bridals & wedding day) and we will be using him for all family photos moving forward. He’s professional, nice and extremely talented. If you want to feel at ease and confident in your choice of photography, Ben is the way to go! He’s also a dog lover and I mean, what more could you want! Thank you Ben for capturing our special day with photos we will cherish forever! You were amazing!
Ben is the most dedicated photographer I know. I have admired his work for years, and my (now) husband and I have been photographed by Ben several times. We had a very short engage...
ment, and sadly, Ben was booked the day of our wedding, so instead, we opted for wedding portraits by him since that was what we were mostly wanting anyway. He captured us perfectly and went above and beyond our desires. Ben has photographed me as a single woman, for Christmas photos when I was dating my now husband, our wedding portraits, and then family portraits when we welcomed a teenager to become our son. He’s seen so many sides of me, and every one of them has been captured beautifully.
Ben was sooo incredibly helpful for our engagements and on my wedding day! He is very professional and his work is outstanding! We love him and would recommend to anyone! 💕
Choosing Benjamin Martin to do our engagement and wedding pictures was the best thing we could have done!! He was very good at working with us and capturing the best day of our liv...

Ben was amazing. He captured every part of our day. I didn’t just get the beautiful first looks, family, ceremony, and wedding party pictures. I also have all the little moments t...
hat happen in between that are so easily missed. I have so many stunning candid pictures that reflect the emotions that were pouring out that day. I knew my pictures would be beautiful, but I didn’t know how important it was to find someone that can capture the in-between moments. With an eye for photography as artistic as his is, he won’t miss one.
I met Ben in 2014 and fell in love with his photography! I used him for multiple reason (pageants, graduation, modeling boutique clothes) and knew as soon as I got engaged that the...
re was no question as to who would photograph this exciting time in our lives! Now we are 2 and a half years into marriage with our first child and will continue to use Ben for family pics! I strongly recommend him for any photography needs, but especially for your wedding! He truly is the best! He is professional, clearly talented, and just overall has the best heart for those he comes in contact with!

could have ever imagined. From our engagement session in the freezing cold, to bridals, to wedding day—he was so professional and made us feel at ease and comfortable. His suggestions and ideas for planning photo times helped tremendously and, ultimately, photos are forever! I’d choose Ben again in a heartbeat. Truly, professional and creative and more than anything—fun! We love Ben!
