Information For Shot differently

I like to capture the actual day. Not an orchestrated version of it but the real events the, real emotions and all the amazing memories that come with them.

I've been shooting weddings for the last 12 years. I started out on my own when I was 19 and as you can imagine, found it hard to get work at the start. People were, understandably, reluctant to rely on a 19 year old for such an important event. That soon changed though and recommendations started to come through.

Due to me starting out relatively young, I never worked for another photographer. I think this is why, in a lot of ways I have a different outlook than other photographers when it comes to weddings. I don't restrict couples to an eight hour shoot for example, but start at Bridal Prep and shoot through 'til at least the First Dance and usually the party as it gets going in earnest. This makes sense to me as it's the only real way to capture the whole day.

I also never really went in for the staged photos, they're necessary often to keep parents happy, and they do offer a record of the day, but I'm not a big fan and tend to get the formal shots done and dusted quite quickly. That way you can actually enjoy the day. Spending it with friends rather than posing in front of a camera, and it works for me as the best photos are caught on the hoof. You have to be on the ball as a photographer but that's half the fun.

Ben was the best!
I am so glad that we chose to go with Ben for our wedding pictures, he captured the little moments so perfectly. I couldn’t have asked for any more! He slotted right in on the day and it really felt like an old friend was there taking these pictures. The best part for me was the candid style of the pictures and how he was so experienced in his field that he knew to whisk us out for some pictures outside before it started raining! From start to finish he was so helpful and lovely and I would 100% recommend Shot Differently to anyone I know getting married! Thank you so much :)

Great experience, made us feel at ease
Ben made us feel so comfortable and fit in perfectly during our wedding. He got the balance of getting those 'traditional wedding shots' and capturing the funny moments absolutely perfect.

We had the best weekend of our lives, and Ben shot it so beautifully, we are so grateful.

Thank you Ben!

Wholeheartedly recommend
We could not have hoped for anyone better than Ben. From the very first contact all the communication was excellent and when we met in person on our wedding day meeting Ben felt like a reunion with an old friend. Ben was so helpful, kind and accommodating, nothing was too much trouble. We are so pleased with our wedding photos, Ben was such an hit with everyone and we feel incredibly lucky that we found Ben. We could honestly not recommend him highly enough.

Lovely photos to look back on
Ben was able to capture posed and candid shots throughout the day, he is super easy to get along with and tailored his work around what I was comfortable with. He needed minimal direction but we had one or two conversations prior to the day, this was one less thing to stress about on my wedding day. I would recommend Ben to anyone who wants a variety of photos and sweet moments to look back on!

Really happy
Since the moment Ben arrived to the hotel room to the very last moment he has been amazing, he has captured lovely moments at our wedding, we are not people that takes pictures like this but he made us feel completely at ease,because it’s not easy knowing to to pose, our friends and family are really happy how the pictures have turned out. We felt so comfortable under his supervision. We are so grateful we had Ben to coordinate the wedding photography. He is a true professional and a very good person.

Amazing!!!
Where to start! We loved Ben from our first meeting! He knew exactly what we were after and delivered! He couldn’t do enough on the day and really helped us to ensure we got all the shots we wanted and the ones we didn’t know we wanted! Everyone at the wedding loved him and he even kept the kids (and in-laws) entertained! Thank you so much! Communication was great and speed of service amazing. We would definitely recommend and should we need a photographer again, Ben will be our first port of call.
