Hi! I’m Ben.
I'm a Wedding Photographer living in Tampa, Florida. I started making photos nearly 14 years ago, mostly for fun. 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 9 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 donuts and coffee a lot (probably more than I should).
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!
