Benjamin was everything we could’ve hoped for in a wedding photographer. He captured the day so naturally and effortlessly, without ever being intrusive or pulling us out of the moment. The photos are absolutely gorgeous.

We’ve had such a great time sharing the gallery with family and friends everyone’s been so impressed. The lighting, the setting, he really listened to what we wanted from our photos and they turned out perfectly.

We’re seriously chuffed with the whole experience and couldn’t recommend Benjamin more highly. Talented, genuine, and an all-around top bloke!

We’ve been long time customers of Whoisbenjamin, starting with a front door photoshoot back in 2020. From the moment we met Ben he made us feel at ease, comfortable and as if we had known him for years!

My finance (now husband) took it upon himself to book Ben to capture our proposal without my knowledge. Ben and him conversed continuously in the lead up to it and made him feel so confident that he could capture the perfect moment (which he did!).

Ben was a clear choice to shoot our wedding, we wouldn’t have wanted anyone else there to do it for us and will continue to be our photographer for our lifes milestones. Whoisbenjamin? Well, one simple answer, the best wedding photographer!

Emily Harding - Google review

Looking through our gallery feels like reliving the day all over again. The photos are absolutely beautiful — every image feels natural and full of emotion. Our family and friends can’t stop complimenting them! Ben went above and beyond to make sure every shot was perfect and truly told the story of our day. We barely even noticed the camera — yet the results are beyond anything we could’ve imagined.

Ben is a wonderful person to be around — friendly, genuine and easy going. We felt supported from start to finish, and it made such a difference in helping us relax and just be ourselves.
We’ll treasure these photos forever. We can’t recommend Ben enough!

Wedding Photography that feels like your day.

Your wedding isn't about perfectly posed photos, it's about the people, the laughter, the quiet moments, and everything in between. My approach is relaxed, documentary, and unobtrusive, allowing you to enjoy your day while I capture it as it naturally unfolds.

Alongside digital photography, I also photograph weddings on authentic 35mm film, creating timeless images with the character, colour, and nostalgia that only film can offer. It's the perfect blend of modern reliability and classic storytelling.

Why Couples Choose Me.

✓ Relaxed, natural documentary photography
✓ Digital & authentic 35mm film coverage
✓ Based in Somerset, covering the South West and beyond
✓ Hundreds of genuine moments captured from morning preparations through to the dance floor
✓ Friendly, unobtrusive approach that lets you enjoy every moment

While you enjoy every moment with the people you love, I'll quietly capture the laughter, the happy tears, the nervous excitement and the moments you didn't even see happen.

Be sure to contact me if you're planning an intimate countryside celebration, a coastal wedding, or a large venue reception, my goal is simple: to create photographs that feel like your memories.

If you're looking for a Somerset wedding photographer who values real moments over perfect poses, I'd love to hear about your plans.
