Amazing & memory making
Ben was amazing from when we first booked with him. He explained we would get a pre wedding photo shoot, and this was arranged about 4 months prior to the big day and was used as a get to know each other. We received approximately 40 photos from this via email. Then on the big day Ben was total amazing we booked him for 8 hours and he was there a little longer due to issues with the dances, he has happy to remain until all the special dances were completed. Throughout the day Ben blended in with the guests and took the photo he needed to with been too obvious so we got some great natural shots. He listened to what we want and took those we requested.
The after care was superb also. We received the photos via email within 6 weeks edited with approximately 400 photos taken from the day., which we could share with those we wanted too. We then received a memory stick with all the photos on this was presented it’s a wooden box with a special photo on with a key ring meaning we can print all the photos from the day and save them. This was hand delivered by Ben. He is very friendly was so happy we chose him to capture our special day. Thank you Ben

We really couldn't have asked for more, Ben went above and beyond to capture every moment from our special day, even staying throughout our evening do to ensure he didn't miss a moment!

Stunning photos and brilliantly edited
Ben photographed our wedding day at Highcliffe. We were blown away at how Ben managed to catch us and all our guests and beautifully candid and natural ways, no forced formality or awkwardness. Couldn’t recommend Ben highly enough!

Wouldn’t have wanted anybody else capturing our happiest day! Thanks Ben
Ben is the best! Thank you for being with us and capturing our happiest day.
Ben worked so hard through the hottest day of the year. He with us from early in the morning until our sparkler exit. He’s an absolute pro.
The photos we got back captured exactly how we felt. The joy, happiness and the heat of the day. Ben has a talent for finding great compositions and capturing form and light.
As well as gathering the right people at the right times and ensuring we got everything on our list Ben captured little beautiful moments throughout the whole day that we might have missed and were such a pleasure to look back on.
Most importantly we loved having Ben around! He is great company and put us at ease. We did an engagement shoot that helped to get us used to being photographed which Beth was particularly nervous about but those photographs are amazing and also up on our walls.
We received the photographs in an easy to use USB format which came beautifully presented- it was lovely to open. We even have the gift box on display!
Thanks

Ben Stoney is an amazing photographer!
We first met Ben for a pre shoot and instantly felt at ease with him. He made everything comfortable and easy from the moment we made contact. On our wedding day, you’d hardly know Ben was there because he was so subtle all day long. The photographs he produced were incredible - everyone we have shared them with have all commented on how brilliant they are. We are chuffed to bits and would use Ben again if we ever had any photography needs. You are brilliant!

Above and beyond
Ben was so friendly and helpful from the very beginning! He took so much time to make sure he captured everything we asked for from guests to room decorations. We wanted a relaxed and natural style of photos and Ben was brilliant and capturing the atmosphere of the wedding. He made me feel so relaxed and comfortable and he was there to help for anything we needed and last minute requests. Our photo gallery was beautiful to look at and all our friends and family agreed what a friendly and amazing photographer Ben is! We chose the option to have our photos on a USB and the presentation of this was amazing, personalised and hand delivered! I would highly recommend Ben, he felt like more of a friend than just a photographer!

Excellent wedding photgrapher
Ben did a wonderful job as our wedding photographer. From the relaxed and engaging pre-shoot a few weeks before the big day to his professional, personable and discreet work at the church and reception venue, Ben was a pleasure to deal with and we'd highly recommend him. And we're delighted with the end result too, as we have over 500 lovely photos with which to cherish the memories.

Friendly, professional and amazing photos
We were lucky enough to have Ben photograph our wedding in Cornwall last year. Ben was quick to respond to initial enquiries and took time to understand our vision. On the day he made us and the guests feel extremely comfortable and I couldn’t be more happy with the final photos. Thanks again Ben!

Beautiful photos and wonderful service
We booked Ben ahead of our April 2020 wedding which, sadly, didn’t go ahead. He was really responsive and flexible in the the reorganisation of our day, and did a fantastic job of photographing our wedding for 15 guests. I should also say that Ben is a really nice guy and was great at putting us at ease on the day. He also included an engagement shoot for us and we love those photos just as much as our wedding ones. Highly recommend!
