Did some googling and stumbled upon Weddings by Two. Met with Ben at the office and fell in love with their work instantly. Ben and Brandon shot our wedding at Garden City in Oct. ...
Taking over 1000 photos, I didn’t see one photo I didn’t like. Chris (another photographer and office contact) was so amazing! Replied quickly and kept in touch throughout the entire process. I would recommend over and over.
Thanks a million for capturing our wedding so beautifully!!
We were simply thrilled to have Chris as the photographer for our wedding. He was so friendly and easy to work with throughout the entire process. He put us completely at ease, in...
stilling confidence in us (on a day filled with jitters) with how assuring and accommodating he was; we were able to just be ourselves in front of the camera and even have some fun!
We weren't sure where we were going to do our first look and wedding party portraits, but Chris easily found a beautiful location and was able to create several different backgrounds by just having us change angles. Chris and his assistant, Brandon, captured so many beautiful moments from our day. He also got along fantastically with our other vendors, coordinating himself as he needed to, as well as getting along with our guests. We laughed and cried the first time we saw the pictures, and every time we go back to look at them we find a new one to love. It is so hard to pick out our favorites. Having heard so many stories of wedding photographers gone-wrong, we feel truly lucky to have come across Chris. We can't recommend Weddings by Two photography enough! You, and your wedding, will be in wonderful hands!
Brandon was truly remarkable the day of our wedding as well as leading up to and after. He’s got this calmness about him that every bride and groom will surely appreciate the day ...
of. We just got our first look pictures back and we are elated. They came out stunning - the quality and unique moments him and his assistant Brandon captured are magnificent. My husband and I highly recommend Weddings By Two - my sister used them five years ago so I have two events to swear by.
Brandon was such a joy to have on my wedding day. He was delightful but totally discreet: you barely noticed him. He was kind and patient with our families. He got all of the shots...
calmly and joyfully. I’ve been at one too many weddings when the photographer bullied and bossed. Not Brandon. He allowed my grandparents to meander just long enough to get amazing candids but ensured we also got beautiful portraits.
I just got my photos and I am stunned at the phenomenal work he did. Great variety. He does artful work. It’s personal, flattering and magical. Absolutely a PERFECT CHOICE.
This company has some of the most professional, kindest, and helpful photographers. They are always available to answer any questions in detail, and are very respectful. My new hus...
band and I especially love how you don't even notice they are photographing all night. We absolutely love the candid shots and how they are NOT consistently pulling you away from enjoying you special day! You receive all (and I mean ALL) your pictures quickly. We highly recommend Weddings By Two! They are definitely worth the money!
I was so blown away by Chris and Brandon, that I don’t even know where to begin. Selecting a photographer for our wedding day was a challenge for my now husband and I – a photograp...
her plays an intimate role in your wedding day, and we were looking not only for a talented photographer but for a personality we knew we wanted to be surrounded by on our special day. Chris and Brandon gave us exactly that. We chose to do engagement photos about 2 months before our big day as a way to feel more comfortable in front of the camera, and couldn’t have had more fun with Chris – and of course, we were blown away by pictures. Come wedding day, we both have big families and were worried about some personalities, but Chris easily directed, shot, and maneuvered managing everyone with professional ease! Not only that but less than a week after the wedding, we had our ‘sneak-peak’ in our inboxes, with some of the most breath-taking photos we’ve seen. We, along with our friends and family were beyond impressed. We really couldn’t recommend more highly!
Chris Gifford was absolutely amazing on our big day. He came right on time and began shooting immediately. He was conscientious of the video crew as well and still took thousands o...
f photos. It was a really humid, outdoor wedding event but that did not stop him from literally running around and snapping as much as he could. He was so pleasant to hang out and converse with, very quick with his emails, and his work is outstanding. I was so happy with him as a photographer and would recommend him to anyone!!
We worked with Brandon and he was AWESOME! So easy to work with and the pictures we have seen so far turned out AMAZING! From our first meeting, we had complete faith that he wou...
ld execute what we were looking for. He didn't need much direction at all, and made it all come together. I would highly recommend them!!
Weddings by Two, specifically Ben and Brandon, were amazing. I received so many compliments from my friends and family how fun, warm, and friendly they were to interact with...eve...
n the most camera shy (inclusive of me and my husband). In less than a week I also received "Sneak Peak" photos, and have received comments how some of the photos can be in Bride Magazine. Enough said!!!!
As I started planning my wedding, the photographer was the one area I wanted to ensure I was 100% confident around who I chose, taking me almost 3 months to research and make a decision. When I came across Weddings by Two, I knew instantly I wanted to work with them. It boiled down to their style of photography; they are very non-traditional (which was appealing in and of itself) but the photos also felt the most real and natural and they were SO different.
Prior to the wedding I worked with Chris who was warm, friendly and very quick to respond. I also met with Ben prior to signing any contracts to ensure we both felt right for one another :-)
So, if you are looking for a photographer that can literally blend right into the party, make you feel comfortable, and give you amazing memories through your photos, look no further. You will not be disappointed.
Gorgeous Photography!
We could not be happier with Weddings By Two and in particular, Ben (one of the founders) who shot our wedding. As soon as we saw his photos online, we knew h...
e was the one for us. The way Ben captures light is just stunning.
Our initial contact was with Chris and I cannot say enough good things about him. He was great to correspond with and so completely helpful and warm throughout the process.
We met Ben in advance of the day to talk about the ceremony, what we were looking for and the concerns we had. (I don't love being photographed and my husband is the one in the photos with his eyes closed - always. But not with Ben! )
On the day of we had a scare of rain and my maid of honor was texting with Ben about options and thoughts - he was so responsive, flexible and positive. It was great to feel so assured that it was all going to be ok - no matter what.
We did photos before the wedding and he immediately set us at ease. We got great images from this time. We also had a ton of family group photos we needed after the ceremony. Ben made those typically boring photos rich, beautiful and poignant. He also was really great and understanding about this need and took care to get everything we needed.
Within a week we had a sneak preview of some images which is a really thoughtful thing they do.
Ben has a great eye, a personality that sets you at ease and he does a great job of getting both posed and natural photos. The images are stunning - magical really. I am truly in awe of the photos of my husband and I. I know we will treasure these images always. All you need to do is look at the work and you will see, this is who you want on your wedding day.
My husband and I are quite photo shy and certainly not conventionally photogenic, so I was a bit anxious about the idea of having a photographer in my face throughout the day, and ...
how our wedding photos would turn out. Chris from Weddings by Two was incredible. From the moment I spoke with him, his calm demeanor put me at ease. He made some great suggestions to our wedding timeline and was extremely flexible with the day’s schedule of events – even showing up early to scope the property, and staying an extra hour (as, naturally, we were running behind schedule) to make sure the cake cutting was captured.
Our wedding pictures turned out magical; with a true-to-life yet ethereal quality. So many people have told me that they look straight out of a fashion magazine. He captured the true spirit of our wedding; the love, friendship, tears, happiness and laughs. He captured so many beautiful moments that my husband and I missed during the day. He gave great direction during the family and bridal portraits, but his presence never felt intrusive. He was able to quickly & efficiently capture incredible memories throughout the day.
I cannot recommend Weddings By Two enough, especially if you prefer a more ‘real life’ aesthetic to your photos, versus the overly posed, stiff and cheesy photographs that are all too common in wedding photography.
Weddings by Two, and in particular their founding photographer, Ben Fraser are an absolutely incredible team of visual artists. They are extremely talented, creative, professional,...
warm, sweet and friendly. It was both easy and a pleasure to work with Ben and his team at Weddings by Two.My wife and I had the pleasure of working with Ben Fraser for our recent wedding in October 2015 in Brooklyn, NY and were beyond thrilled with his photographs from not only our big day but also our engagement photo shoot months prior. Everything Ben shot was stunning – from the bright and sunny engagement session in Brooklyn Bridge Park, to the anticipatory shots of the bridal parties getting ready at the hotel, to the excitement of the Bride & Groom first look moment, to the intimacy of the ceremony, to the jubilant joy during the reception. He was there to capture it all with a giddy and humble smile on his face. Ben has an uncanny ability to use natural light and be in the right place at the right time. His camera skills are instinctual and effortless. Gone are the days of the photographer with the extra assistant holding up a flash pole and reflector screen, waiting for just the right moment to across their frame. Now are the days of vintage camera lenses and fast-action shutters that really enhance the subject’s overall experience. There is no waiting around for Ben to fidget with his gear and settings, his mechanics just flow in a way that allows his clients to be themselves as he captures those magical moments that happen “in between” the shots. Ben operates with a freedom that enables him to be in the moment with you, seamlessly seguing between different positions, angles and expressions. He has been caught many a time in the middle of a dance floor, with two cameras around his neck either alternating or simultaneously snapping photos of the action around him. It’s a real testament to the years he’s put into his craft and the experience he’s amassed in this industry.
Weddings by two shot my Sister's wedding, then my Brother's wedding and then MY wedding. After seeing how beautiful my sibling's pictures came out and watching how they work - why...
would I look anywhere else! Weddings By Two is the BEST. The photographs they take somehow manage to capture your true selves and the joy of the day in a realistic non-cheesy less 'posey' sort of way - more like photojournalism instead of the typical rigid portrait studio session kind of vibe that many wedding photographers tend to fall into. They are laid back, easy to work with and can work with digital and/or film. Look no further!
We have not gotten our wedding photos back yet (we were told 5 weeks), but we had done an engagement shoot with Ben at Weddings By Two, and the photos were MAGICAL. We got so many...
compliments, and they were exactly what we wanted. We expect the wedding photos will similarly come out beautifully.
Ben and Brandon shot our wedding, and they are so friendly and yet also not at all intrusive. A lot of photographers will be in your face the whole night; not these guys. Their style is photo-journalistic, and their focus is more on the photos than on the printing afterward, so all of your money is going towards the actual photography. They put all of your photos up on a website accessible by password, and you and all of your guests can download all of the high-res photos and print them, post them to Facebook, etc. without any charge. Having been a wedding guest several times before, I can tell you this is a great asset; guests don't have to track down the photos from the bride and groom in order to avoid paying $25 for a 5x7 print.
We also used WeLovePhotobooths.com, which is run by Weddings By Two. The photobooth was a HUGE hit with our friends and family. Our favorite photos were of my husband's grandparents goofing off with the props we had made. Similarly, everyone can access the high-res files to download, so the day after the wedding, our Facebook newsfeed was flooded with our guests' photobooth pics. The photos are printed individually as 4x4" images on 4x6" paper with your wedding logo, and guests can take as many photos as they like and go home with the prints. We decided this would be our "favor" rather than some other typical favors we've seen.
Our favorite vendor of the evening was our photographer. My best friend used Ben and Laura 10 years ago when I was a bridesmaid at their wedding and I loved them back then and so t...
hey were my first choice photographers. They also partner with the photo booth company, We Love Photobooths so we excited to hire them as well. The whole process was seamless and they are the easiest vendors to work with by far. My husband is a photographer as well, so he trusted their work. They use the best cameras with all different angles and colors. They're pricing was fair and I wouldn't skimp in this area since all you have left after the wedding are your photographic memories and video if you chose to have one. Their style of photography is very journalistic and artsy, not your standard portrait, which they will do if you ask. We received our pictures back and we LOVED them!! You won't go wrong with this team.
We loved working with Ben from WeddingsbyTwo. Our engagement shoot was so much fun and the pictures turned out beautifully. Ben and his assistant were fantastic on our wedding day...
. They were up for anything and had some great ideas on how to make our pictures unique and artistic. We couldn't have asked for a better group to work with for our wedding.
Our photographer Ben was perfect and very talented. He was professional and experienced.
Ben was the easiest and calmest photographer. He arrived on time to both my husband and myself. He was barely even noticeable. The pictures totally captured the evening!
We were looking for something unique and found it right away with this group. Laura Miller did outstanding work. It was a hectic day, and we had big families, kids, dogs all wedg...
ed into small, 1800's B&Bs. Laura was able to move around and get great shots without even being noticed! She's also super personable, kind and dedicated.
The venue, Helsinki Hudson, is anything but ordinary and we wanted our photos to capture that same "cool". Our family and friends were captured in the moment with great candid shots. Our portraits were hip, well thought out and perfect - from lighting, environment, details, angles...everything came out amazing.
Highly recommend!
We had Ben as the photographer at our wedding and we could not be happier with the results. We live in Chicago, but were able to meet him in NYC before our wedding to discuss our s...
tyle and for him to get to know us a bit more personally. With him (and Laura) you can really feel how much they truly love experiencing weddings and being a part of your day and it shows through their work. They are young, professional and absolutely got the best shots without us ever realizing they were really there... and I mean that in the best way possible. We loved working with them and are thrilled to have the photographs that we do to always cherish our special day!
