Perfect Photographer

It’s hard to know what to say when the pictures mean so much! We loved having Ben there on our special day and we adore the pictures he captured. Ben showed such attention to detail and made us feel so at ease. The guests also loved him and he really felt part of our day from start to finish. We loved that Ben’s style enabled us to feel like we were enjoying our day without photography taking over. We received our whole album back so quickly and the quality is exceptional! All the pictures beautifully capture the joy of our very special day and we really can’t recommend Ben enough!

Ben is the best!

Ben was absolutely fantastic and the perfect photographer for what we wanted and he had the vision to get what we needed out of our big day. He was brilliant throughout the whole process and really grasping what photos we actually wanted from the day. We were making tweaks up until the big day and he had zero issues with us. Throughout the day he kept on checking with us that any other photos we wanted from him and were we happy for other people to get “official” photos Ben’s greatest asset was how fun and easy he was to deal with, it genuinely looked like he was having fun whilst taking our photos. For any couple who hate having their photos taken then Ben is your guy to book as he makes you feel comfortable and carefree. After showing our families the photos the feedback from them was “Ben captured the day in how everyone felt the day had gone” We had an amazing day and Ben was a key component of that day. We’re so excited to revisit our photos on our anniversary.

Ben is not just a photographer!

Ben is a genius! We gave a brief of a wanting candid shots and not may staged photos and Ben absolutely delivered and some! He used his experience and skills to give us a set of pictures that captured every emotion of the day in a way that completely exceeds all expectations. This sentiment has been shared by everyone who has seen the pictures so far too. Ben controlled the day ( and the bridesmaids! This alone is worth booking him for!! ) in a very professional and friendly way. It felt like he was part of the wedding and not a vendor and i think that sums Ben up perfectly. We cannot recommend Ben enough! so much so one of our guests are trying to cancel the photographer they have so they can use Ben for their wedding next year. Ben, from myself and my wife, Thank you a thousand a times over mate!

Wouldn’t choose anyone else!

What can we say about Ben? He was truly the bright, fun, high energy person that we needed on our very rainy wedding day to lift our spirits and keep us relaxed and positive! When planning my wedding I just knew he was the one I wanted to photograph my big day after being so impressed by the photos he presented to my sister on her big day 9 years ago! Stunning, and natural. As expected, we are so over the moon with our photographs, I was a bit sceptical before receiving them as our wedding was such a wash out with rain and high winds, but you honestly wouldn’t know seeing the photos! Thank you Ben, from the bottom of our hearts for being so positive and cheerful on the day, for making us feel so at ease and making sure we were okay throughout the day. Georgia and Steve

The pictures turned out STUNNING

I can’t even describe how brilliant Ben was. Not only did the pictures turn out STUNNING (and turned around extremely quickly!!) but with seconds of meeting him, we were put at ease and it was like an old friend was photographing our day. We continue to get comments on just how friendly Ben was and how beautiful out pictures are. We are beyond thrilled - everything and more we wanted captured was done so just perfectly. We are forever grateful for him capturing it so perfectly.

Ben knows how to get the best natural photos!

Ben is more than a professional photographer, he’s a friend on the day. He really understands if you’re feeling nervous etc and keeps you on track with timings for the day. He talks you through what’s going to happen next so you can move through the day confidently. He is very lively and upbeat, he knows how to get the best photos of people and likes to take natural shots with a few staged pictures. All of our guests were commenting on how friendly and lovely Ben was. Thank you so much Ben!

The photos are absolutely stunning!

Wow, where do we even start? We cannot recommend Ben enough, he was absolutely amazing, it was as if he was a wedding guest rather than a photographer, all the guests haven’t stopped saying how amazing Ben was and neither have we! The photos that we have received are absolutely stunning, and half of the time I didn’t even see him stood there taking them! Please please please if you are getting married you need to choose Ben! He was bloody brilliant. xxx

Ben actually felt like one of our guests!

From the very first day that we met Ben, we knew he would be the photographer for us! He immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed which was really important to us as neither of us usually enjoy having our photo taken. Throughout our entire wedding day, Ben was just fantastic. He was so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. He was such a bundle of energy and fun, he actually felt like one of our guests by the end of the day! Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day.

We would 100% recommend Blooming Photography

Absolutely fantastic photographer. We hired Ben as our wedding photographer and were blown away by the results. On top of the amazing photos we received, Ben was incredibly personable as well. On the day he would make sure my partner and I were always comfortable and managed to take us away from the hustle and bustle every so often to give us some time together and a break from the crowds. We would 100% recommend Blooming Photography for any wedding or event you have coming up.

Ben was so unobtrusive and blended in seamlessly.

Ben really did feel like one of the guests. He was so unobtrusive and blended in seamlessly. His bubbly personality was infectious and he made everyone feel so comfortable! We absolutely loved Ben’s style of capturing natural moments with very few staged photographs, and he didn’t disappoint. The photos he took were absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of the day. He also consciously didn’t take us from the party for longer than 5 minutes at a time so we didn’t miss any moments.

FAQs
Find out a bit more from our FAQs

What is your most memorable wedding?

Whilst I've photographed many amazing weddings in many amazing places I believe every wedding is special - Its' the combination of your guests that are all together in one field or under one roof that make your wedding unique and memorable to you. I LOVE photographing that!

Describe your style in 5 adjectives.

Fun, friendly, unobtrusive, stylish, candid.

What about your business are you most proud of?

That people continuously recommend me!

What is your No. 1 wedding planning tip for couples?

It's one day, plan before, but let go on the day and go with the flow, things will happen naturally and you will enjoy it much more.

What is your favourite personal touch you have seen at a wedding?

I love it when couples individually add their own touches, be it table names (of where they've been together on dates or their favourite bands), to having surprise family guests (that they thought couldn't make it because they live the other side of the world) turn up and surprise them!

Describe your typical process with a couple.

Usually make contact via Bridebook, then check out prices and my work on my website. Often people book there or then or if they are undecided, they can arrange to have a video call one evening. Once you've said yes, it's a straightforward booking form, deposit (£200) and contract to know you've got me as your wedding photographer!

What is the No. 1 photo that you think every couple should take?

Really tricky to say, but my main advice is to make time to step back from all the buzz together and have a moment together.

What is the most original photo you’ve been asked to take at a wedding?

Oh lordy, my mind is a blank on this one. I have lots of random requests from photographing the bride and grooms with alpaca's to photograph a particular guest with another guest...

What do you recommend for a rainy day wedding?

Umbrella's and welly's (plus may be a shawl to keep your shoulders warm), you can go any where with welly's!

Describe how you got into photography.

As soon as I picked up my dad's slr I was hooked!
