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.

Ask to see a full wedding, anyone can capture a lucky few photos but a good photographer should have consistently good work throughout a wedding.
Your photographer plays a massive role in your wedding. Make sure they don't annoy you by meeting with them first.

Shot differently Reviews
When we were planning our wedding one thing we didn’t want was to take a huge amount of time out of our day taking posed pictures and missing out on the fun with our friends and family. Ben helped from our first phone call to create a short list of family shots, which he set up and took quickly and perfectly, all whilst making sure we were topped up with drinks and canapés and not missing out on any of the fun.
Ben worked with the changing light throughout the day, grabbing us for some quick snaps when the light was perfect. The evening pictures Ben took are our absolute favourite.
Looking back at the hundreds of images Ben sent us has been a joy. We are so, so grateful to have these memories captured in such a perfect way.
We can’t recommend Ben highly enough to anyone considering. I wish we had a reason to book him again!
You gave us everything we wanted and more! I will forever sing your praises and recommend you to anyone that needs a photographer. Once again, thank you for capturing our day in such a stunning way.
