Ben was PHENOMENAL and we cannot thank him enough!!!

We don't even know where to begin when it comes to thanking Ben... not only did he provide us with the most PHENOMENAL visual gallery of our day, but he also helped make the day itself better. We chose Ben as our wedding photographer after our first chat with him, where he explained his candid, relaxed and fun approach to photography. Everything he believed in was EXACTLY what we were looking for, and he delivered on the day a hundred times over. He was organised, professional, super friendly, and made our full wedding part feel completely at ease. We have been to so many weddings as guests where the photographer took over the entire day and pulled the bride and groom away from their guests for very long periods of time. We knew we wanted the opposite; to be present, spend our day WITH our guests, and to have a great laugh taking fun, happy photos where nobody felt awkward or uncomfortable. Ben brought SUCH a great vibe to the day, and we have received countless compliments from our guests regarding how great his approach was. We genuinely cannot thank him enough for absolutely everything, and we would recommend him to literally anyone and everyone in a heartbeat. If you're looking for a fun, friendly, candid photographer who will blend seamlessly into your day and produce a BEAUTIFUL gallery of photos in the process, then Ben's your guy! Thank you thank you thank you.

The photos are more than we could have hoped for

Millie and I want to say from the bottom of our hearts the biggest thank you! The photos are more than we could have hoped for. Exactly as you promised - you captured the story of the day, the joy Millie and I felt, the little details, the interactions of all our guests all while keeping an eye on the bigger picture of both days. Thank you very much for your support, with so much to manage you really helped keep me calm and we won't forget that!

King of the candids!

I couldn't recommend Ben (Blooming Photography) enough as a photographer for your wedding day. Ben not only took some absolutely gorgeous photos, but was also an incredibly proactive, kind and thoughtful presence on the day. Ben was steadily anticipating every stage of the day, giving us helpful advice on how to savour the day and look after ourselves, and looking out for other members of the wedding party too. we couldn't be happier with our photos. We were immensely impressed by how quickly Ben got them back to us (less than 3 weeks after the wedding day!), and Ben captured the day and all of its elements so beautifully. He is the king of the candids! We will treasure these photos forever. Thank you again Ben, we will absolutely be recommending you to anyone getting married. All the best!

What a fabulous day

Ben was incredible as a photographer for our wedding day. His entire attitude/vibe was so relaxed yet professional the entire day, it made having photos taken so enjoyable and we are beyond thrilled with the results. Ben was a joy to work with, he sent our photo's back to us with a great timeframe and was communicated with us around preferences/timelines the entire time. The feedback we also received from our guests were so positive. We couldn't recommend him enough to capture your day.

Simply the best photographer!

If you are looking for a photographer who is friendly, relaxed and puts you completely at ease then Ben is your man. He checked in with us regularly and guided us along on the day. We had a small wedding, and it felt like he was a friend capturing moments as they happened; even our family commented on how lovely he was. As for our wedding photos, they are AMAZING!! Ben captured our day perfectly and feels like we are re-living the day every time we look at them. We can’t thank you enough x Caroline & John

We are over the moon with our photos!

Ben was absolutely fantastic! We are over the moon with our photos and will treasure them forever. He captured so many wonderful candid moments which tell the story of the day. Our guests loved him. We loved him too! He was so great with our kids and put everyone at ease. It was great to be surrounded by professionals on the day who knew exactly how to make everything run smoothly and that includes Ben! You can really tell how experienced he is and totally in control of it all. Thank you so much

We absolutely loved the photographs that you took!

Thank you very much for being our wedding photographer. You did a fantastic job and were a pleasure to work with. We absolutely loved the photographs that you took. Our friends and family have been very complimentary about them. Thank you also for all your patience and wisdom as we were preparing for the big day and for effective unobtrusive management of the day itself. We definitely couldn't have managed without you!

Great Professional and Great Photographs

We were really pleased with Ben's work as our wedding photographer. He was brilliant during the preparations and offered a lot of useful advice regarding not only which photographs to organise but also how to structure the day and how best to schedule the timing of the various stages. Ben was very thorough in his preparation and took great care to ensure he knew who was who on the day. On the day itself, he worked discreetly but effectively to ensure that he captured a wide range of photographs. After the wedding, the photographs arrived promptly, were substantial in number and all of a high quality. Ben is an expert in capturing shots of people acting naturally. We really enjoyed looking through the album he produced, as in addition to collecting shots of all of the 120 or so guests at our wedding, his photographs captured the emotions of our nearest and dearest in a most delightful way. Ben is a natural "people person" and his confident yet unintrusive presence on the day made both us and our guests feel at ease. He worked well with venue staff in the background and was of great assistance in helping to ensure the day ran smoothly. We also felt that Ben's charges were both competitive and very reasonable, having regard to his thorough preparation, roughly 10 hours' work on the day itself and then the careful preparation of the final album. We would have no hesitation in recommending Ben's services to others.

Thank you Ben!

Ben was absolutely brilliant! He is great and talented at what he does but mostly we loved having him around on the day. He made us laugh and feel at ease and everyone enjoyed having him there. Thanks again Ben - much appreciated!

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!

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!
