Hi, I'm Ben nice to meet you :-)
I'm a Northamptonshire wedding photographer and my approach is a documentary, reportage style of photography, used to record your special event as it happens. I don't do overly elaborate set ups, I just shoot it as I see it, which hopefully you'll love.
I love photography!!! There, thats me in a nutshell. In all seriousness, I love what I do, and there is no greater pleasure than handing over a set of images to a client and for them to love them. What I try to do is encapsulate the emotion of the moment to cherish forever.
I’m a pretty chilled out guy, and I try bring that calming chill with me whenever I photograph, it all helps people relax and ultimately helps me take better pictures.
Having studied photography from the age of 15 at school, right through to gaining my BA (Hons) degree in photography I have developed my craft to where it is today, and I strive to continue my development with every image I make.
I’m currently based in Northamptonshire, UK, but can travel nationwide and abroad if needed.
I Hope you like my work. Take it easy, and peace out,
Benny. Xx

Family
Lets make some memories
Want awesome family photos to stick on your wall, but hate the idea of having to sit in some stuffy awkward studio, slowly melting underneath studio lamps which are hotter than the sun??? Prefer some more relaxed, natural images that better represent you and your family?? Then I'm your man. I offer a two hour session which will encapsulate your family beautifully. We can get outdoors (or indoors if you prefer), let the kids run about, play, cause all the normal mischief which creates the best moments to cherish forever.
A two hour session costs £200, all images once edited and ready to go can be accessed via a private online gallery which can be downloaded and printed as you wish.
