There's so much to say I don't even know where to begin!! Let me just start off with saying that if I could give Benjamin Edwards SIX STARS I would - just to emphasize my point that he is the best of the best. He's not just "5 stars" perfect, he goes beyond your expectations and imagination. We knew we would be getting a high quality, professional, and very talented photographer - that's what you expect walking into his office. But when you leave, you feel like you are the only people, the only couple, that matter in the whole world. You're not just paying for his time and talent, you are paying for an experience that you trust will be unforgettable and unique to you and your partner. Let me back up and mention that he photographed our wedding and our engagement photos and if you are reading this and engaged, let me just tell you that when I look back on everything...the CLEAREST memories of my wedding day, was when Benjamin whisked us away from the whirlwind that is your wedding day, and time just seemed to stretch into this slow, magical, sequence of romantic and FUN moments and I felt so free and comfortable (which I am not one for the camera) but Benjamin from day one, made me feel so comfortable and beautiful, I felt like I could pose and pose intimately with my to be husband, and even my fiance at the time, seemed to be cool as a cucumber which made me so happy that we could just be ourselves in front of a camera because we felt so safe with Benjamin. I really think that is important and the key to a successful shoot of any sort, to feel absolutely comfortable with your photographer and I just felt like Benjamin knew EXACTLY who we were and what we wanted from our photos. I really believe that one of the biggest gifts Benjamin Edwards possesses, that sets him above other professionals, is his genuine care for you and your needs. For us, it was our wedding photos and I am not lying when I say, if it weren't for these beautiful, timeless, and very unique photos I would be so sadden because you don't know until its all over, how little you remember your OWN wedding day. But it is, and WAS, a blur and now I have these photos that capture everything, especially moments I missed! So whether you need a photographer for your wedding day (which I would HIGHLY recommend Benjamin Edwards - I wouldn't trust anyone else after seeing what this man did to make our day extra special) or family portraits, THIS is your man. He will bend over backwards to fulfill your needs and vision. Like I said, you're not just getting a superior quality, you're getting an experience that you will cherish and be very thankful for. I wish I could share EVERYTHING but I know if you use Benjamin you will have your OWN stories and cheer to share = ) read more

My wife and I hired Benjamin Edwards Photography to shoot our Wedding in July of 2012. We would strongly recommend working with Benjamin Edwards Photography and here is why: 1. Benjamin has excellent communication skills. Throughout the entire project Benjamin communicated with us effectively and clearly whether we spoke on the phone or via email. If we had any questions, hesitations or concerns he would respond in a timely manner. 2. Benjamin is true to his word. If Benjamin said he was going to do something, he did it. There were no empty promises when working with Benjamin. 3. Benjamin has skills. Out of all of the photographers we interviewed Benjamin clearly had the most amount of raw talent. We could tell he had a unique artistic vision just by looking at his photos online but it wasn't until we actually got to work with him in person that we truly could to see how unique his skills were. 4. Benjamin was extremely easy to work with. I'm usually pretty awkward and camera shy, so having my photo taken all day was not something I was honestly looking forward to. Benjamin was amazing to work with and made us both feel extremely comfortable - A true professional. 5. Benjamin is experienced. Our wedding day was a crazy blur and everything happened so fast. Somehow Benjamin was always exactly where he needed to be at the right time in order to capture that perfect moment. When shooting our more 'posed' family photos Benjamin was able to speak loudly and clearly in a extremely friendly yet commanding manner so everyone knew exactly what to do. We had a very limited window of time allotted for taking our family photos and somehow Benjamin was able get our large family in the correct positions and get all of our requested family group shots done on time. Not to mention that they turned out amazing! 6. Benjamin Delivered our final post-production images on time. We could not believe how many photos we received. Seriously, we were overwhelmed at how many amazing photos we received. To this day, we still considering hiring Benjamin as one of the best choices we made during our wedding planning process. 7.

Ben's attitude, style, skills, and approach all exceeded my expectations. I hired him to do my wedding photography and opted for a package that included an engagement session, a pre-wedding fine art bridal shoot, and of course photography on the wedding day. The engagement session was a fun chance for me to bring the fiancee on board with having his picture taken, for both of us to practice in front of the camera, and for us begin to develop a relationship with Ben. Our fine art bridal shoot before the wedding gave me a chance to dry run my dress, hair, makeup and accessories. The vibe was relaxed and fun and we captured some stunning images I will treasure for the rest of my life. My wedding was in another state and initially I thought the cost for travel would be prohibitive but Ben worked with me on designing a package that fit our needs for the budget and the travel. On the wedding day, Ben was able to deftly wrangle taking family photos, ceremony photos, plenty of candid images from the reception and we even snuck away from the event to wander around town (a wonderful break from all the demands of the reception) and take some great pictures of just the two of us. Ben, the consummate professional kept things moving smoothly and struck a nice balance between giving feedback to the wedding party and letting us select poses. The results were exceptional photos of professional quality that "felt like us". My guests commented they didn't even see him during the ceremony and yet the images of the wedding are excellent. I'd use him again in a heart beat. read more

Benjamin photographed our wedding this past summer at Brasada Ranch and our engagement photos at Smith Rock a couple months prior. He is not only extremely talented and professional, but also has a unique way of making all his subjects feel so comfortable and playful - which make for great wedding photos! Both Chris and I, as well as our wedding party and families, were raving about working with him at the wedding. A few days later, we saw the output of his work and were AMAZED! He worked on them promptly so we were not waiting long at all, and the photos turned out better than we could have imagined. We have family members and friends saying the quality of Benjamin's photos are better than any wedding photos they've seen. A perfect combination of art and style - he captured the intimate moments and incorporated the natural beauty of our surroundings in his shots. We are so lucky to have met him and would highly recommend him to anyone. Thank you, Benjamin!! ~Alana & Chris read more

I've been using Yelp for years, but I've never come across someone - or something - so talented to make me want to sign up to give a review until I had the pleasure of working with Ben. Ben did our engagement photos, bridal shoot photos and wedding photos. For our wedding , he took over 550 pictures and I want to frame 548 of them. I have never seen more beautiful pictures than what Ben provides. I have honestly had other professional photographers ask me who did my pictures and people pinging me non-stop to see his next round of genius - they are that AMAZING. He has a vision and style that allows you to relax, forget the camera is there and capture the true beauty and feelings of the moment. I love photos, but I've never experienced a such happiness from pictures before. Honestly breathtaking!! I can't say enough positive things about Ben and his work. If you want beautiful pictures for the special moment, there's no question in that Ben is your best option. read more

I knew Benjamin as a former client of a veterinary clinic I worked out. I will never forgot when he did family photographs for another client (at no charge) that wanted photos of their cancer-stricken boxer before he passed away. We wanted someone with passion behind the camera to capture our wedding. Benjamin is a very kind, honest and AMAZINGLY talented photographer! He is the best in town, hands down! His photos recorded our special day perfectly. I will be forever grateful that we chose he and his sweet wife to share our day and get the beautiful images we will treasure forever. Your wedding day will be over quickly. Invest in the photography so you can remember it! read more

Benjamin's work is truly treasured by my family. Ben shot our wedding at our family ranch in Bend in 2010 and we had him back out to the ranch for a family shoot this week. Now four years later, he's shot us with our first child who is about to turn one year old. The pictures are priceless. I can't say enough about Ben's talent, creativity and wonderful personality. The images are beautiful and artistic and were sent to us so quickly, I couldn't believe it! We love every picture and are so happy we documented our family again via Benjamin's lens.. What a blessing. Five Stars, HIGHLY recommend. Thanks again Ben! read more

Ben is an incredibly kind and generous individual who makes the process of taking pictures very comfortable.
