A little more about my approach

Shooting wedding’s, I come ever more to realise what uniquely special events they are in our lives, and what a rare and special privilege it is to be invited to witness & document them. Life is a winding road and through all of its rambling path, we can often count on one hand these occasions where we bring all of those closest to our hearts together.

That is the heart of why I love to shoot weddings. As a sensitive & observant soul, with a passion for capturing these raw sparks of human connection & emotion, there’s no more profound application for what I do.

My way is unassuming and unobtrusive, documenting natural and spontaneous moments as authentically as possible, without demanding attention or intruding on interaction. That’s not to say I won’t make gentle suggestions and guide things occasionally when a situation offers something special in terms of light or framing, but those moments are the exception rather than the rule.

WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHY

All day coverage / £2100

  • Full coverage of your day, from any special early morning plans (think sea swims with the groomsmen/breakfasts or perhaps a yoga practise), through preparations, ceremony and wedding breakfast right the way through the first dance and beyond. I won’t leave until I’m confident I’ve captured the essence of every part of the day, including the nocturnal revelry. If skies are clear i’ll often stay into the night and capture the stars & moon of a wedding night too.

  • Rapid preview - I believe it’s important to have some special images in the days rather than weeks after your wedding day; to help you relive the joy while you honeymoon. I’ll get an initial set of 80-90 images across to you within a few days of your wedding so that you have something to share and cherish immediately.

  • I deliver a minimum of 600 high-resolution, finely & individually edited images.

  • A curated online gallery of your images, which you can share immediately and from which you and your loved ones can download directly.

  • The same set of high resolution images on a USB pen drive for safe keeping.

  • If you’ve chosen to have me shoot analogue alongside digital, as well as high resolution scans of the images you’ll receive all of the negatives from your photographs in archival sleeves also.

Additional Options

  • Analogue Photography - I adore shooting on film & always encourage couples to have me shoot a few rolls of 35mm on a wedding day. I predominantly shoot on Kodak Portra 400 colour film & Kodak Tri-X black & white. The cameras I use most are my Contax T2, Canon EOS 10, Mamiya 6x5 & a Bronica 6x6.

  • Engagement Shoot £500 when booking your wedding with me (£600 usually)

  • Second Shooter £600 (extra coverage for larger weddings & more angles of those key moments)

  • Fine Art Albums - pricing dependent on size and material choices

A few things past couples have said…

  • “Ben took some extraordinary photographs during our wedding in Limoges. He captured all of the big moments perfectly and so many small details which would have been forgotten without his eye. He composes shots with texture, colour and light beautifully to capture the real essence of the day. Not only that, but he’s wonderful to have around!”

  • “Ben’s ability to capture the macro and the micro gave the resulting collection of images an epic scale as well as a tender intimacy, whether it was a panorama of the whole wedding site taken from a drone above or a close up of a ring being slipped on a finger, the background thrown into soft darkness.

    He has a real gift for making people feel at ease and there was nothing contrived or set-up in any of the exquisitely composed images,  just a natural flow of energy and emotions frozen in time. 

    Ben also has an intuitive sense of the moment and how to frame and capture it. His ability to distil and capture  the happiness of the moment is truly miraculous.”

  • “Ben was the only photographer I wanted for our wedding. I didn’t even know if he did wedding photography, but I knew his work through mutual friends. His candid shots and eye for detail always struck me as so poetic, sensitive and light. Luckily for me he jumped at the chance. Even today, 2.5yrs later, we are still noticing more and more details in the scenes and snapshots he captured throughout the day. So much personality, vibrancy, joy and romance. We’ll truly treasure and relish these images forever. He is the best!”
