Hi! I’m Ben.
I'm a Wedding Photographer living in Tampa, Florida. I’ve been photographing weddings for over 15 years. I'm fascinated with the concept of capturing and keeping moments in time and turning them into something beautiful. I started out shooting film and developing in the darkroom in college, and that’s where my love for photography began. I shot my very first wedding in 2009, but my career in wedding photography started 10 years ago when a friend insisted that I photograph his wedding, and the rest.. well, you know.
I'm married to the girl of my dreams and we have 3 little girls, Avery, Lorelai, and Ellie. I'm an amateur BBQ master. I love golf more than I'm good at it (which, from the sounds of it, might be the case forever). Tacos are my jam. I’m a Fantasy Football nerd. And I love a good donut paried with a pour over (black, obvi).
I get to make photos for a living and I'm thankful for every minute of it. Your story and your love are what I desire to capture with my camera.
MY SHOOTING STYLE
I take documenting your love seriously and consider it a high honor that you're letting me into your life and trusting me to document such a special time. With an artistic approach, I dance back and forth between playing the background and creating moments without you even noticing. I hunt for good light to photograph you in and create an atmosphere where it feels natural that you're nose-kissing in front of my camera.
HERE’S THE DEAL
Hiring a wedding photographer is a big deal, and I'd like to be yours. You're putting a ton of trust in me to capture all of the moments and people that are important to you on the most important day of your life and I don’t take that lightly. I selfishly want you to have beautiful photos.
It's a massive responsibility capturing moments that you'll one day be sharing with your children's children, so near or far, let's make photos!
