Hellstrom Photography

Ben was an amazing photographer, and we are so grateful we came across him. He made us feel super comfortable during our engagement shoot. We showed up a bit nervous but ended up having a lot of fun and walking away with pictures we really love. Ben was willing to try out a new location with us and spent the whole hour committed to finding the best spots with the best light. He even waded in the river with us to get the perfect shot. We really appreciated his skill in natural outdoor lighting, and thought his posing tips were very helpful without feeling too rigid. We highly recommend him!

It was a pleasure working with Ben. He made the whole process so easy and enjoyable. He was very professional and responsive from the first time we contacted him. We then were able to set up an introductory virtual meeting. He went over his process and tried to get a feel for what our wedding day would look like and asked us what were some of the key moments that were important to us. On the wedding day his recommendations and ability to direct us during the photo sessions was seamless. He is truly talented and has an eye for creative and graceful poses, with picturesque backgrounds. We are so happy and fortunate that we selected Ben to be our wedding photographer. He was very friendly and made us and our guests feel comfortable. We would highly recommend him as a photographer for any wedding or special occasion.

Throughout the entire process, Ben from Hellstrom Photography was professional, responsive, and accommodating. On our wedding day, Ben's ability to blend seamlessly into the background while capturing the most precious moments was truly impressive. They made us and our guests feel comfortable, resulting in the most natural and genuine shots. For our wedding portraits, his posing direction and enjoyable personality made us feel confident in our ability to take beautiful photos. The gallery we received was amazing! I was blown away with the lighting, color, and details of the photos. We are beyond grateful for Ben's incredible work. Thank you, Ben, for being a vital part of our wedding day and preserving it so beautifully!" Thank you so much!! Adell H.

We were fortunate to have Ben from Hellstrom Photography as our wedding photographer, and we couldn't have made a better choice. From the very first meeting to the delivery of our stunning photos, every step of the process was easy and seamless. On the wedding day itself, Ben was a calming and fun presence amid all the action. He effortlessly guided us through the various shots, making us feel comfortable and relaxed. The result was a collection of images that truly reflected the love and joy we felt on that day. The final edited photos were amazing. The colors were vibrant, and the attention to detail was remarkable. Ben managed to capture not just the moments but also the emotions, telling the story of our wedding beautifully.

Ben was communicative throughout the whole process. He made us feel comfortable, and we felt like a unique couple rather than another job. Our photos are stunning.

If you're looking for a photographer, Ben's your guy! I feel incredibly grateful to have found Ben! He is an awesome human and wonderful photographer. My fiancé and I went into our engagement photo session with Ben, having had no experience getting professional photos taken of us before. To add to that, it was unexpectedly rainy and we were initially a bit bummed out about the weather. As soon as we met Ben though, the mood completely changed thanks to his positivity and enthusiastic spirit. We had requested our shoot to be at Filoli and Ben took the extra step of arriving early to check it out so he knew exactly where we should take our photos, making the shooting time as efficient as possible. At the beginning of the shoot, he assured us we'd get some awesome shots despite the rain and he helped us get comfortable in front of the camera right away by bringing us to a less crowded area, walking us through the basic poses and providing lots of encouraging feedback. We walked through the whole garden and took photos in different locations. Ben directed us at each step but was also open to any input we wanted to provide. We also got to chat a bit and could tell Ben is just a great guy with a really cool photography background! Once the shoot ended, Ben let us know we would receive a "sneak peak" that evening, which we did...and less than a week later we received the full, edited gallery. We are in love with the photos and had the absolute best experience. Thank you, Ben!
