What People Are Saying

“Photography was so important to us that we booked Ben as our photographer within a week of booking our wedding venue. We browsed countless portfolios and kept coming back to Ben’s photos because they were so unique, candid, emotional, and artistic. For both the engagement session and the wedding day Ben was so professional and genuinely nice to work with, making us feel relaxed and at ease. We just received our full wedding gallery a few weeks ago and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the amount of incredible shots he captured. The drama, emotion, and the spirit of the day really comes through in all his photos and we’re so pleased! Thank you Ben!”

“We loved how much character and energy was captured within his shots. The artistic quality of his images were really unique compared to a lot of the other photographers we looked at, which is exactly what we were looking for. Throughout our interactions with Ben, he was always super friendly and flexible. Myself and my bridesmaids totally felt at ease during getting ready and group shots. They also had a knack for making the flower girl smile. Ben is also really talented in regards to landscape photography. So he took several shots via drone as well, which was also important to us given our venue had a particularly gorgeous view. Oh - and we also used his photo booth....which was a huge hit with our guests. He provided an album which included a photo strip of our guests pics. ”

“Ben Godkin is a must-have for your engagement session and wedding day. He's not only professional and responsive, but he's amazingly talented. When I was originally on the hunt to find a photographer, I didn't have any referrals...just the Internet. It was quite a difficult search, as so many photographers out there are "cookie cutter" and borderline cheesy. I was looking for someone with artistic vision and a unique take on wedding photography - nothing too fancy or off-the-wall but just enough to make it feel and look special. After seeing Ben's portfolio online, I thought his work was great. After seeing OUR photos, I know for sure he was the perfect choice. He gave us exactly what we were looking for, and made us feel comfortable throughout our experiences with him. My husband and I are simply thrilled with our photos!”

“Ben was an awesome photographer for our wedding last year. He was so patient with my crazy family and still was able to produce wonderful photos from our day despite certain family members wanting to be the photographer themselves. I loved his style from what I saw in his portfolio and was not disappointed with our photos. I wanted a lot of candids and photos that captured the energy of the night vs. posed shots and I was impressed with what he was able catch with his camera. Even the pose shots looked great too and didn't feel awkward. Very laid back and professional photographer! Well worth it!”
