Wonderful. Totally understands what I wanted. I've had my wedding now. Received my photos and I can honestly say I recommend Ben to anyone. The value for money - outstanding. The photos were amazing. Not just photos of the day but a work of art. The commitment shown by Ben to achieve the best photo possible was unbelievable. When I saw him literally make his way across a slippery creek and lie down in the water to get that perfect shot - I thought wow he should be charging way more for his service. In short brilliant photographer

Ben was absolutely fantastic to deal with and we echo the sentiments of all his 5-star reviews. He is approachable and funny, without detracting from his obvious talent and exceptional professionalism. From the very beginning through to the end, he has been responsive via all channels - phone, text and email! He sought to understand the style we were after and the kinds of images we wanted to get.
He is also flexible and accommodating with our location, times and even did corporate headshots for my mum while I was still getting my makeup and hair done. On the day, he was discreet and captured wonderful

Found Ben through his excellent google rating and so happy we did. From our first phone call we knew he was a great guy and happy to work with us to get the kind of photos we wanted from our wedding day. We did a micro wedding at the zoo so none of us had seen the venue prior to the ceremony, Ben was everywhere capturing us and our families even under strict time constraints. He was flexible on the day when when the wind picked up and forced a location change. We couldn't be happier with Ben's work on the day and his post production and editing really hit the style we were looking for.
Thanks
Thanks

Ben is such an incredible photographer and we are so glad we chose him to photograph our wedding. Before we got married we met with numerous photographers before Ben and while many had nice enough photos we did not have the connection we had with Ben. Not only did he have amazing photos but he was such a nice guy and we couldn't have asked for a better photographer on our wedding day! On our wedding day he was so lovely to work with and it wasn't just us, everyone in the bridal party thought so as well. He had never photographed at our wedding venue before that did not stop him taking some amazing

We chose Ben to photograph our wedding in late 2018 and it was honestly the best decision we made. Ben was so easy to work with right from the start - he was friendly, responsive and very patient. He understood exactly what we wanted and was able to capture all of our special moments perfectly. I smile and feel like Im reliving the day every time I look at photos and we still get so many wonderful comments from others about our album. Ben is extremely professional, has a real eye for detail and a creative flare which shines through his work. Seeing his portfolio and our finished album definitely
