The Investment.

The Photographs taken on your wedding day are an investment into the memories you share together. Finding the right photographer for your day is one if the most important decisions that you will need to make. This decision should not only be based off of their work, but as well their personality, energy, and enthusiasm that they bring. You should have just as good of an experience relaxing and enjoying the company of your photographer as you do when viewing his work. The artwork made from your day encase memories that will be seen for generations; the visual documents that when gazed upon will set your heart ablaze.

What Sets Us Apart?

-No one else is Ben & Les.

Not only are our photographs, prints, personalized website, and virtuosity books going to knock your socks off, but we hope the experience of working with us will to.  We want every step of the way to be an easy, thoughtful, and an exciting event.  This is an thrilling time and you don't deserve to have a drab photographer bring you down.

-Your photographs are works of art. 

Your relationship is unique, your photographs should be unique as well. It is a simple task to take a picture on your wedding day. However we pride ourselves in capturing memories that become works of art.

-We are relavant.  

Our age, culture, and awareness to the modern give us an edge over the rest. We are able to relate to you, to celebrate the types of images you love, and to understand the vision you have, and then produce greatness out of it.

-We love life, and want to share in your story. 

Its important to be able to relate to your photographer and for him to be on the same wave length as you. The personality behind the lens is just as important as the final product. We want to hear your story, to artistically recreate it through photographs, and to allow you and your guests to enjoy every minute of the process. Lets have a good time making art out of your story!

-We have the physical ability and courage to take some truly great and unique photographs. 

We don't understand how some photographers shoot weddings when they simply cannot bend over or move quickly, let alone get to the right vantage point high or low.

-We have Ben as primary photographer, and Leslie as director at every shoot.  

That means you have a person helping direct you to where you need to stand and what you need to do with your arms. (Nothing is worse than just standing there awkwardly while someone grabs a bunch of pictures of you looking confused.) Leslie also keeps an eye out for any stray hairs or untucked groomsman. This is not only great for you, but then allows Ben the freedom to fully focus on getting the perfect shot.

-Gear

While we always believe the person behind the lens is WAY more important than the gear itself, having pro gear to get the right shots is always helpful.  Fortunately for us, we have both.  As well, we always carry backup equipment if for any reason a lens, or camera were to stop working on Your Beautiful Day.

-Ben  graduated with a Fine Art Degree in Oil Painting. 

There is an awareness to line quality, focus, highlight, shadow, composition and color that does not come naturally to many who solely pursue photography. The attention to detail that Ben's Oil Paintings are known for holds just as true in his photography. We have heard it said, “The Devil is in the details” we say “God is in the details”. Furthermore, his joy in understanding the academic techniques have allowed him great artistic freedom. Just take a look at his paintings **HERE** to get a glimpse of what he is talking about.
