Camera Studios

s whatever it takes to please his clients. Nobody is perfect in this business but as far as professional work and work ethic goes, he's got it. I was very happy with the results of our photo session with Camera Studios. Benny has a way of eliciting emotional responses from anyone and this makes for much better photos. I didn't think that I could ever look as natural as I did. Benny brought out a side of me in these photos that I really really liked. I would recommend him without hesitation.

ce level plummeted. He was no longer attentive and not nearly as responsive. The evening before our wedding he EMAILED (didn't call) to tell me that his assistant (the second photographer) was sick and wouldn't be able to make the wedding. In order to have a second photographer, he stated that he would need to go out of town to pick them up and would be late. That meant he wouldn't be available to get wedding prep pictures of the bridal party as discussed. He offered to stay late, after the wedding and get more pictures, which we declined. After hours of dancing and partying, no one would have been polished nor would they want to stand around at 10 at night to get pictures. Further, he didn't make it at the time he said he would be there (the already late time). This made us even later and caused us to have to rush the first look and it didn't go as planned. While he did refund us $100 after the wedding, we have no professional pictures of my husband and I, and our wedding party, getting ready for the wedding. At this point, I was still relatively understanding as things do happen and people do get sick. Interesting to note, however, that the "assistant" he had to go out of town to pick-up, I later found out was his wife. Once we got the link to look at our wedding pictures, we realized there were very, very few posed, formal pictures of my husband and I- the kind of pictures you want to hang on your wall. There were also no posed pictures of our wedding rings, my jewelry, shoes, etc.- the kind of pictures you would expect to get prior to the ceremony. I will say, however, we do have a lot of great candid pics of our wedding guests which are nice. Once I placed my photo order with Ben, timeliness was once again an issue. I emailed him on June 5th with my photo order. On July 5th, I received an email stating that my order had been packaged and I just needed to confirm my shipping address. I spoke to Ben the next day on the phone and confirmed my address had not changed. 3 weeks later I still had not received the package. I emailed Ben on a Thursday asking for the tracking number. By Tuesday morning I still hadn't received a response; I called him and asked for a tracking number. Ben informed me there had been a "delay in shipping". I asked him where the delay occurred; the delay was in that he had never shipped the package. He did ship the pictures that day via UPS overnight. I have finally received my order. While I would like to believe that Ben is a sincere business owner and possibly just overwhelmed with work, it came at the expense of our wedding day. I've just been reminding myself of what's truly important, and that's our marriage, not the wedding day. If I went back and did it over, I would've chosen another photographer, the photographer who the venue suggested. We did a wedding photoshoot several weeks after our wedding to get nice, posed pictures. So all in all, it eventually worked out for us. But I, unfortunately, can not recommend Camera Studios as a wedding photographer.
