She has a wealth of knowledge around weddings and offer suggestions but leaves the decisions up to you. Plus she's incredibly sweet, fun, calm and professional. We mostly needed help with day of coordination, but Britt did so much more than that! She met with us several times to guide us through the process and make sure all the boxes were getting checked, and was always available and responsive when I asked questions (even via text, in the middle of the day). She executed our vision of decor perfectly, coordinated timing/details with all of our vendors, and we did not worry about a single thing that day, nor did any of our family members need to. We can't thank Britt enough for all she did to make our day run so smoothly!

Britt is the actual QUEEN, ICON, LEGEND, of Wedding Planning!! Britt seamlessly coordinated the…read morewedding of our dreams at a private residence in Camp Sherman with no cell service, several obstacles, and a full venue change for the dance party. Not only did she not miss a single detail of the entire day, she has GREAT taste. She knows all of the best vendors to make your vision come true. If you are high strung and obsessed with the details, Britt will make you feel calm with how organized she is and is great and keeping you and your vendors on track. Britt became my therapist during covid wedding planning and now a friend. There are a lot of great wedding planners in Central Oregon but I assure you, Britt and her team are the best.

She was happy to meet with us in person or set up call any time to discuss wedding day details. She was very responsive which was much appreciated. Ashley would offer advice and reach out just to check in and see how things were going. On the day of the wedding, Ashley was so important and did an excellent job ensure the way ran smoothly. There were absolutely no issues on our wedding day and it could not have gone any better! I highly recommend Ashley for any and all wedding planning assistance!!

Benjamin Edwards shot our wedding and my bridal portraits and we feel so lucky and blessed we were able to work with him. Not only did we get the most amazing pictures of your special day, but also a true professional who helped ensure the entire wedding day ran smoothly. Benjamin made taking pictures fun even for my husband who is super camera shy. The day was such a whirlwind, we are so glad he captured all of the sweet moments so we can remember them for years to come. Benjamin is a unique talent. You will be happy you used him for your wedding or any other special project that requires amazing imagery. He is simply the best!

When my husband and I got engaged last fall we knew exactly where we wanted to exchange our…read moremarriage vows and booked our venue immediately. But equally as important to us was choosing a great wedding photographer who would capture our day, our love, family and the details that went into every decision made while planning our big day. We set out to find a photographer the same week. We did not know Benjamin but had seen his work among 3 other professional wedding photographers that we contacted. Two things we knew: one, we knew that we wanted someone who had proven strengths as a wedding photographer and two, we knew there would be cost for quality. I am not going to lie, it was not easy choosing. We have some amazing talent in Central Oregon and I know of the handful of photographers that we considered, we most likely would have been pleased with their work as individual artists. We chose Benjamin for a few reasons that stood out after looking at his work and interviewing him. He does have a talent for working with light that is pretty amazing. He has an eye for capturing the emotion of not only people but of the scene. He was quick to tailor our wedding package to our needs as well as including our engagement session as a gift. I think the engagement session is a must for any photographer to be able to get to know their clients and how photogenic or un-photogenic they are, their humor, their chemistry etc. For a photographer to know this importance to the point of including a pre-session of sorts as automatic is telling. Finally, like the others we had interviewed, we found Benjamin to be both professional and personal in a way that created ease. I have included some of my favorite shots that speak to how well our day, special place, love and family were captured. If you want a professional wedding photographer I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography. If you want someone to personally tend to you and the design of your day I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography. If you want a calm energy as you go through your day with photographers by your side I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography.

I had my friends help me narrow down the gallery and they were all raving at how great the pictures were. It was hard to choose.

Every item that we rented from them (from the tent to the dancefloor to all the little details like lighting, heaters, benches, goblets and more) was amazing as well.

He got us 2 canopies and suggested a canopy heater. I am sooo glad he did! Our guests would have been freezing had it not been for that heater and soaked if not for the canopies!

We have honestly talked about how we wish we could make having them around a yearly thing because we enjoyed them that much! And the photos... absolutely phenomenal. We are completely obsessed with how they turned out. Tony captured not only the big moments, but also so many little moments and emotions throughout the day that we will treasure forever.

Every step of the process was smooth, every communication was very professional and prompt. Jess worked with me to make my vision of romantic, artistic and timeless bridal portraits a reality. I had several ideas that Jess was very receptive to, and she easily worked them into our session. We also had plenty of time during the photo shoot to work with Jess' ideas and her expert eye, and many of her ideas ended up creating some of my favorite images. The photo shoot itself was super fun. I really enjoyed working with Jess and quickly felt comfortable. The whole experience was simply such a special treat for me. I really could not be happier with the entire process and my awesome photos.Thank you Jess! Just for clarity, this was a one on one photo session between me and Jess to capture my fantasy bridal portraits that proved impossible to get on my wedding day ( your wedding day is a very busy day! )

Once I saw the pictures I had both tears of joy and laughter in my eyes. She captured the pure essence of not only each child, but our family as a whole. I laughed hysterically at the wonderful candids and beamed with pride and the serious photos. Jess has given my boys and me a priceless gift that will last a lifetime. She was extremely patient working with my boys and really took the time capture each of their beautiful souls in a moment in time.
