He is truly one of the most talented photographers we have ever come across. From the very first interaction, he was incredibly gracious, calm, and genuinely excited to help us, and he immediately made us feel taken care of during what was a very stressful time. I reached out in a bit of a panic after our original photographer canceled last minute, and he handled everything with such ease and kindness. He even went out of his way to work with us on adjusting his packages so he could fit our budget, which meant so much to us.
I came to him with a VERY specific vision for our wedding photos and sent him a full Pinterest board because I had certain shots and details I was really hoping for. Not only did he listen to every single thing I asked for, but he somehow took those ideas and elevated them in a way I never could have imagined. He didn’t just recreate inspiration photos—he completely outdid them. Every idea I had, he brought to life with even more creativity, artistry, and intention than I thought possible.
Our photos are genuinely everything I dreamed they would be and so much more. He captured every little detail, every emotion, every candid in-between moment, and all of the specific shots that were so important to us with such care and talent. His eye for storytelling is absolutely incredible. I keep going through our gallery and finding new favorites every single time because there are just so many beautiful moments he caught.
If you are getting married, I HIGHLY, HIGHLY recommend working with him. And if you have a specific vision or Pinterest board, send it to him—he will not only understand it, he will elevate it beyond anything you could have hoped for. He is unbelievably talented at taking your ideas and turning them into something even more beautiful, emotional, and personal.
We truly could not be happier with our wedding photos, and we are so beyond grateful for him. he was an absolute blessing during our wedding season, and we will forever be thankful for him. 🤍

Exceptional attention to detail, Ben captured our wedding and it didn't feel like he left out anything. He had great ideas for fun photos and poses, and everything looked amazing.

We had the best experience working with Ben for our wedding in San Diego. From the moment he arrived, he was calm, confident, and completely in control, which made everything feel easy and stress-free.
He went above and beyond, even helping the guys with their boutonnieres and handling our chaotic group like it was nothing. Everything felt natural, not staged, which we really appreciated.
One of the biggest standout moments was when he showed us raw shots on the back of his camera and just handed it over for us to scroll through. That’s a huge photography flex, and the photos were already incredible straight out of the camera.
Ben is talented, professional, and just genuinely great to work with. We’d absolutely recommend him and can’t wait to work with him again.

Highly recommend! Ben has a very gentle, approachable energy that makes you feel comfortable and welcome in front of the camera. He’s incredibly gifted at staging and posing. He chose where to meet for the shoot and the scenery provided beautiful backdrops and accented colors that elevated the final product. He's great at branding and brings your vision to life. He’s fun to work with and I can’t recommend enough.

Thank you for being such an important part of our wedding day! We especially appreciate how attentive you were to all of the details that were important to us and for making sure those special moments were captured. It meant so much knowing we could trust you to remember the little things while we focused on enjoying the day. We can’t wait to relive it all through your photos!

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Prices are different and may vary, depending on the package or custom needs. I have prearranged photo packages, and am open to adjust for customization. I offer discounts to military and first responders.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I ask about their vision via email or video chat and any other details that can help me understand exactly what they're looking for.
How did you get started doing this type of work?
In 2016, my friends getting married asked me to shoot their wedding, and I said yes. The rest is history—I have completed 100+ weddings, engagements, family, studio, product, lifestyle, flat lay, stop motion, restaurant, and fashion photography. And I photographed most of the visual content for one of the top marketing agencies in San Diego that consisted of 50+ clients across the
United States and beyond.
