I've had the pleasure of working with Benny plenty of times! He is a true professional and loves what he does.

From initial consult to photography day to follow-up, Benny was a pleasure to work with! He was highly recommended by my wife's coworker, who had worked with him on her wedding and her sister's wedding and continues to work with him for annual family photos and holiday cards. We inquired on his website, and he was prompt in his response to meet us. Our initial meeting was chill. He just wanted to get to know us a bit, and it introduced us to his friendly vibes. This continued on photo day, chatting with us casually while he took some shots, easing the nerves. He collaborated well with our ideas while also consistently providing his professional guidance. As the afternoon continued, our photos got better and better. Benny truly captured the essence of us! We could not be happier with BYC Photography, and we've already begun recommending him to others. We gotta spread the love! read more

Benny & his Assistant Eric did a wonderful job covering the wedding event from start to finish :) Started with a zoom call - Benny very professional and had all his info step by step in a package in detail . His rates and various packages available were easy to understand. We also set up a photo shoot at the Arboretum Garden before the wedding. Benny always smiling , down to earth, friendly and making it fun while shooting the photos! The day went well... captured a lot of great photos at the Garden. Day of the wedding : Benny & Eric arrived earlier than expected ready to capture our special day. They followed the timeline we all planned prior to the event to a tee :) 1/ photo shoot before the ceremony - made it very fun! 2/ captured all the special moments during the ceremony 3/ Family pictures / Friends After ceremony - he was very patient and made it enjoyable. 4/ Reception was covered more than expected - Thank you for capturing silly moments of our guest and those special moments of us as husband & wife. The photos turned out very professional - Benny made it easy with his direction how to pose, yet looking natural while doing it:) lol He made it enjoyable and memorable. We highly recommend BYC - The Newlyweds - Douglas & Connie Thank You Benny!! read more

My fiancée & I flew from home (North Carolina), to Palm Springs, to have Benny shoot our engagement session. I briefly told Benny what my vision was, and he brought it to life. Benny pays great attention to detail. He listened to us from the very start. He provided guidance along the way, he was courteous, professional, all while making the whole experience fun. Thank you, Benny, for documenting a very special memory that we will have for life. read more

We had a fantastic time working with Benny and Corey for our wedding photos! Benny was so easy to work with through the entire process -- from the initial consultation all the way through the end of our wedding reception. He was accommodating with all our requests, but also provided super insightful suggestions when appropriate. He was also very collaborative with our videographer, which is something that we were grateful for once the rush of wedding day began. Posing for photos isn't something that comes naturally for either my wife or me, but Benny and Corey did a great job of making it fun and comfortable the whole time. Once our night had gotten started, they helped coach us through the wedding chaos, all while capturing some beautiful candid photos of us and our guests. I can't recommend Benny highly enough! read more

It takes a lot of skill to make two awkward people get comfortable in front of a camera, but that's what Benny managed to do for me and my husband on our wedding day. He told us exactly how to pose (which we definitely needed), and captured our natural laughs in between (which are the shots I love the most). Through his photos, we were able to see the little details of our wedding that we would have missed or forgotten. I appreciated how Benny got so many photos of not just us, but of our family and friends throughout the day. I can't tell you how much I enjoyed going through those photos and just seeing the joy they shared with us. In terms of the quality, Benny's photos truly captured how gorgeous and sunny that day was. I wanted a lot of color at my wedding, so I loved how rich and vibrant everything came out. Benny is an all-around wonderful person to work with. He felt like a friend from the get-go, which is exactly what we needed to get us through a day as chaotic and fun as a wedding. I'm echoing everyone else here, you're the best, Benny! read more

We are so so happy that we chose Benny to be our wedding photographer! We were looking for a photographer whose editing style was real-to-life/vibrant with a romantic flair. Our wedding planner had given us a few names to look into to see who might work with us best. We had talked with a couple other photographers but, after our first meeting with Benny, we knew he was the one for us. Benny was so friendly, professional, and enthusiastic about his work. He was always so approachable and responsive to messages. I never had a doubt about getting in touch with him through email or text. We loved that he wanted to get to know us as a couple and as people and we also really loved getting to know him, how he got started in this career, and what keeps him motivated to continue doing this career that he loves. His passion was also very evident when "out on the field" during our photo sessions. Even though Eric and I are not very natural when it comes to taking photos, he made it incredibly easy to look natural even when posed without making us feel awkward. We loved and trusted his artistic eye for what would look good in photos and his dedication to getting those photos, even if that meant crouching or lying on the ground! It was so much fun getting to work with him the three times that we did for our engagement shoot, our Vu Quy Vietnamese ceremony, and our wedding day. We had a great time on each day and especially on our wedding day, working with both Benny and James. Working closely with our planner and coordinator, they were able to help keep us on track throughout the day to the point of being ahead of schedule because we were so efficiently getting the necessary photos done that we even had time to take some extra couple and bridal party photos. They were a fun team to work with. There was a lot of singing, dancing, and laughing with this crew and it was such a good time! He got along well not only with us but with our families and friends. Our parents and bridal party loved working with him as well and they remember him fondly when thinking back on our wedding day. In addition to how wonderful he was on the days he photographed us, although it wasn't not guaranteed to get them so quickly, he worked diligently to get out the photos relatively quickly to us and not a detriment to the quality of the photos. For our engagement shoot, he sent us the whole album of photos in a little over a week; for our wedding weekend, he gave us little sneak peeks starting a week out from our wedding day and, a little less than 1 month from our wedding day, he was able to get our entire album of photos to us, all beautifully edited and organized from start to finish. Needless to say but I'll say it anyway, we LOVE LOVE LOVE our photos. He took special care to get everything that we wanted photographed. I'm a picture lover and I've looked through our photos over and over the past week. I still can't get over how amazing they are and have really enjoyed thinking back to the memories that were captured. Although we knew it was important to get a good photographer, we never could have imagined how fun it could be until we chose ours. We're so happy with our experience and can't thank Benny enough for capturing our love and essence so perfectly. Best believe that, as long as he's working, he'll be our photographer for life! Tl;dr: Benny is amazing, we love him, and you should definitely book him for your event! read more

Benny is such a genuinely, good-hearted person who happens to be extremely skilled in his profession. Beyond a wedding photographer, Benny also acted as a coordinator, model, wedding dress fluffer, consultant and even a therapist at times (wedding planning is hard!). My now husband and I agreed early on that it was very important for us to hire good, kind people; after all, we're working with these vendors for the next year and for the very special vendors, beyond that. With Benny, I'm sure our relationship will go far beyond our wedding. As for photography skills, Benny is truly outstanding: - Award-winning (literally!) photos - Great personality that enabled us and our guests to feel comfortable and beautiful - Variety of backgrounds and shots (Benny researched our venue and had plenty of ideas beforehand) - Quick and thorough responses to all our many questions We cannot recommend Benny enough! read more

Benny is fantastic and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer. Our photos came out amazing! He was the easiest going out of any of the photographers we met with, and that held through on our wedding day, making a very stressful day far less stressful. Working with him was such a breeze. He was very professional and responsive throughout the entire process leading up to and during the wedding day, making he had a plan of attack to take the specific photos we requested for on the wedding day. More importantly, he had an attention to detail that made the photos feel alive and natural so the end product was fantastic. A huge plus to us was that he knew the secret spots to take photos at our reception, and these photos really stood out to us when we got them; they indeed were amazing places to take photos. We can't recommend Benny enough to anyone looking for a wedding photographer. He was our favourite wedding vendor to work with at our wedding. read more

Benny is not only a great photographer, but such a nice human! He will make you feel comfortable and is great at suggesting poses. He shot both our engagement photos and our wedding. Our engagement photos had to be moved due to a sand storm in Joshua Tree and he was so accommodating with switching the time and day. Benny is very professional, responsive and overall just great to work with. Highly recommend BYC Photography! read more

We had a truly amazing experience with Benny for our wedding in Palm Springs earlier this month. He was so personable, efficient, and such a joy to work with. We felt like he was part of the family. And our photos turned out SOO incredible! Couldnt be happier. Make your life easier and just go with BYC Photography. You won't regret it! read more

If you're looking for a wedding day photographer in Orange County, California, we would highly recommend BYC Photography! Benny is such a talented photographer who is organized, down-to-earth, and extremely punctual with his communication - key elements for which we were looking for in a wedding-day photographer. Although we had never met him until our wedding day, we had complete trust in him after several phone and video calls throughout our wedding planning process which was delayed by three and a half years due to COVID-19. He listened to our plans and provided us with helpful feedback, especially in terms of our wedding day itinerary. Aside from his great photography skills, one of his best qualities is his personality. He is very approachable, understanding, and funny! We felt at ease letting him take the lead on choosing the final concepts and locations for our photo shoot. During the evening reception, he and his team were instrumental in helping us stay on schedule with our 34 table greetings and took group photos at each table. read more

Benny was absolutely amazing! My husband and I were referred to Benny by our friends who used him as their wedding photographer! We loved his photography style - beautiful and vibrant colors! He was also very personable, so our poses for our photos looked so natural since we were having so much fun with him! We got married during the peak of COVID (Jan 2021), so we took extra precautions to keep our guests safe, and he was agreeable to the precautions that we asked for (ie, getting tested prior to our wedding and keeping mask on), which we really appreciated a lot and it definitely took a load of stress off our shoulders that he was so agreeable! We absolutely love how our photos turned out and we're so thankful that we can look at our photos time and again to relive our special day!!! read more

Gosh, we loved Benny from the moment we met him! He came highly recommended by our venue owner and wedding planner, and he was the first and easiest vendor we booked. After a brief meet-and-greet at a local coffee shop, we liked Benny so much, we didn't bother considering other photographers. Three things stood out to us about his work: 1. Benny used to be an engineer and has a unique eye for angles, which our mid-century modern venue -- The Lautner Compound -- is perfect for. He was already very familiar with shooting there, which was a bonus. 2. Benny knows how to work with couples. My husband and I are awkward with posing for photos, but Benny was able to talk us through every shot and put us completely at ease. 3. Benny takes candid photos. Our favorite photos are the ones where people are laughing, smiling and genuinely having fun without knowing they're being photographed. The way Benny captures those moments is beautiful. Our engagement photoshoot in Joshua Tree was so much fun! It was windy and it had rained heavily earlier that day, plus we were already nervous having never done a photo shoot before, but Benny swooped right in and calmed our nerves. The evening was so gorgeous, we let spontaneity take over and ended up not following our original itinerary. Benny and my husband (who is a geologist) nerded out big time with the scenery and we ended up having so much fun! On our wedding day, Benny (who was dressed so snazzy in his vest and bowtie) and his associate (who was also SO awesome!) were on time, worked hard to stick to our tight schedule, and were completely professional. They worked swiftly and made the wedding experience so fun, that it never felt like they were cutting into our time with our family and friends. As you may know, wedding planning can be daunting and gets expensive quickly, no matter how much you try to cut costs. We initially struggled with Benny's prices (as we did with any vendor), but we quickly learned that his services are quite reasonable and worth every penny. With Benny, you're getting exceptional quality, great communication, and a five-star service, hands-down. Benny is incredibly talented, kind, attentive, drama-free, and genuine. He truly cares about the caliber of his work and aesthetics, and listened well to what we wanted. We could't have hired a better photographer and we are absolutely pleased with his work! read more

We totally lucked out getting Benny as our wedding photographer! From the moment we met him, he was the ultimate professional...SO kind and considerate. A total class act. He even helped my husband figure out his tie and did a fancy tie for him! It's so easy to feel uncomfortable and awkward when you're not used to having your photo taken...but Benny made it all so comfortable and fun! Truly cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Benny! read more

We were referred to Benny by a friend who was married in Orange County. He flew up to Northern California to shoot our wedding! I have never met a photographer that made me feel so at ease. My now husband is a shy person and doesn't really like photos but Benny actually brought out some natural smiles and laughter from him. Benny is super friendly, kind, and rolled with the punches. It was rainy and overcast on my wedding day and actually the pictures all turned out super gorgeous. Benny's work ethic and patience was amazing as well. He was on time, didn't mind getting wet in the rain, and even though he was technically off the clock at the end of the night, he took some time to do a couple more portraits for us (and we ended up loving the shot!). I was surprised at how quickly he got back to us with a slideshow and some sneak peeks. I definitely recommend him plus his additional photographer because they were fun to work with and most importantly made everyone and the venue look like a million bucks! Could not be happier and can't wait to receive our fancy wedding album!!! Don't hesitate in setting up a meeting or video chat with him because he will definitely deliver! read more

Thank you Benny for the most beautiful wedding memories! You went above and beyond to make the whole experience so meaningful! You have such an amazing eye and your attention to the details set you apart! Could not be happier! Thank you again!! read more

We couldn't be happier with Benny as our wedding photographer! We used him for our wedding and for our engagement photo shoot and we've never looked better!! We started our search for a photographer online and were immediately struck by Benny's vibrant, energetic photos. We knew we wanted more than just stereotypical classy soft white colors from our photos- and Benny was the man for the job! His understanding of photography, natural light, composition, and framing are extraordinary- he is a truly gifted artist. More than one of his photos from our wedding day were literally breathtaking. For our engagement photo shoot he did a great job of putting us at ease and feeling comfortable so we could enjoy the process, as well as his excellent work. He is responsive, professional, and I can't recommend him highly enough. Even after the wedding, Benny was extremely responsive and easy to work with in crafting our wedding album and parent albums. We will cherish these mementos always. If you are not yet convinced by this review I urge you to seek out online other photographs Benny has taken- His work is masterful, yet working with him is easy and fun! Thank you so much Benny!!!! read more

We were referred to Benny by our venue in Laguna Beach, and realized after the very first meeting that he was going to be our photographer! During that first meeting, he answered all our questions and really made sure that he got a sense of the two of us and how we wanted the wedding to go. We met up/talked with him a couple of times during the planning process and it reinforced our choice of a fantastic photographer every time. On the day of the wedding, Benny and James (his second photographer for the day) were enthusiastic, amazing and so so great to work with! They went along with the ridiculous pictures we wanted and gave us some beautiful photos that we will cherish forever. They even pulled us aside during the dancing (to give us a bit of a break) to take some beautiful nighttime shots. When we wanted to go table-to-table but didn't want to be doing it for hoooours, Benny and James ensured we quick and efficient while also allowing us to get a photo with every guest who attended the wedding!! After the wedding, we got so many comments about our fantastic photographer who always happened to be present to catch funny, sweet candid moments! Moreover, Benny sent us sneak peek photos just a few days after our wedding and it made us so happy to relive the day just as we were coming down from the high of our wonderful wedding. If you're looking for a great photographer for your wedding, engagement, or whatever (even just an everyday photoshoot!), look no further than Benny!!! read more

Could not recommend Benny and BYC more! He is an absolute gem and so talented, our wedding photos are incredible. He made us feel so comfortable, has a great sense of humor, and has such a creative eye. We never felt rushed, had so much freedom to choose the shots we wanted, and got the photos back very quickly. Benny has been very responsive throughout and adapted really well to our personality nuances. I was definitely nervous about our photo awkwardness but Benny immediately squashed those fears and gave us truly stunning results. Our family couldn't stop talking about him, he made our wedding day so special and captured our new memories beautifully! 100% recommend! read more

My husband and I hired Benny for our wedding day photos and it was the best decision we made for the day. We interviewed a few other photographers. but after meeting Benny we knew right away we found our photographer! I am very shy and sometimes awkward, but Benny made me feel so comfortable before we even met in person. He is so charismatic, easy to talk to, professional, quick to respond, and very organized. I can't say enough great things about him. The weeks leading up to the wedding Benny made sure we were coordinated on the schedule and also provided helpful tips for us to consider the day of. With all the last minute wedding chaos, Benny was the one vendor we were confident had our backs and we didn't need to worry about. The wedding day went by fast - but we're so incredibly thankful for all the photos he and his partner took to document the best day. All the details, the funny and sentimental moments he caught for us will be cherished for the rest of our lives. Not only did he make sure we stayed on schedule, but also made sure we were comfortable, having fun, and made us look AMAZING. The best part of the night was having Benny pull us aside away from the chaos for private night photos with just my husband and I. After the wedding was over, Benny was very quick to send us over our photos and I can't say how hard it was to favorite only a few for our family heirloom book. If you're on the fence about having Benny as your photographer- please do yourself a favor and just do it. If we could give him 10 stars we would. Thank you again Benny!! read more

This review is long over due. I recently got married this past December and words can't explain how grateful I am that Benny and I crossed paths. 6 months before my wedding, stressed out because I had just fired my previous photographer and worried that I still hadn't sent out my save the dates, I was In a hurry looking for the person who would become the new photographer at my wedding. After interviewing a handful of photographers, Benny was the person my now Husband and I decided was right for the job. I expressed my concerns to Benny in regards to our previous photographer, and he assured me that he would put those concerns at ease. Not only did Benny live up to his word, he went above and beyond!! We immediately scheduled our engagement shoot for the following week, and within another week I had a few photos to choose from to send out our save the dates. Every email, phone call, or text was responded to quickly, and if for whatever reason Benny couldn't respond to me quickly, (which was very rare) he would send me a follow up message letting me know when he was going to get back to me; as a stressed out Bride, you don't know how much that is appreciated. Our day came and went and Benny and his Assistant did an OUTSTANDING job of photographing our wedding. I wasn't expecting to get my photos as quickly as I did, and I can honestly say that having Benny as my photographer was worth losing money to fire my previous photographer. My photos are BEYOND AMAZING!! To this day, my Family continues to talk about Benny and how sweet, attentive and nice he was. He was definitely a blessing and I'm so happy we went with our gut and hired him as our photographer. If you're looking for a wedding photographer, please do not hesitate to hire him!!! It'll easily be one of the best decisions you'll make. We can't thank you enough, Benny!! read more

Benny from BYC Photography is not only an amazing wedding photographer, but he truly is one of the best professionals in the wedding industry period. While weddings and marriages are truly a beautiful thing in general, wedding planning is terrible and is a scourge to men and women all around the world. Planning with Benny on our team though made things so much easier - Benny brought a wealth of helpful knowledge, tips, and experiences for our wedding, even for things not directly related to wedding photography. More importantly than that though, being with Benny gave my then-fiancee and I such reassurance that all our photography and scheduling was in good hands. That confidence helped relieve a lot of pressure and allowed us to focus our attention elsewhere. Benny consistently followed up and took initiative to make sure everything his team needed was in place, and he also helped us work with our other vendors. He helped coordinate timing and planned shots for our videographers on the wedding day to make sure they also had prime footage. He worked with our venue coordinator, our DJ, and our wedding coordinator to make sure everything was in place, and he made extra effort to squeeze in shots all throughout the day to catch morning, evening, and even late night shots as well. I could go on and on but the best thing that I could say now is to set up an appointment with Benny and see for yourself. He's not only gifted and an award-winning photographer, but he is incredibly friendly, helpful, funny and also an absolute professional that will elevate the quality of your wedding to the next level. He earns my highest recommendation and I encourage you to make him your go-to photographer. read more

Choosing Benny as our wedding photographer was one of the best decisions during our wedding planning. I love his photography style, it's beautiful and timeless. Not only is his photography amazing, he is too! He's a perfectionist, professional, and easy going. During our big day, he made sure we stayed on track of the timeline and chose a cool area near our reception to take pictures. All our engagement, wedding photos, and leather wedding album turned out beautiful. You won't regret having Benny as your photographer. Thank you Benny for our beautiful pictures that we can cherish forever! -Danielle & Alex read more

We could not have been happier with Benny's work as our wedding photographer. His photos were beautiful - he has a great eye for lighting and color - and he captured every special moment of the day.

Thanks Benny! - Lauren and Conor read more

We were lucky to find Benny for our New Year's Eve wedding at [seven-degrees] in Laguna Beach! We met Benny at a local coffee shop after finding him online and hired him on the spot. We really liked his energy and enthusiasm about his profession, as well as his camera abilities and confidence to shoot a night time wedding (since our ceremony started later). Throughout the wedding planning process, Benny would take the initiative to check in with us every month or so. As the big day got closer, he visited the venue since he had not been there before, sent us examples of photos and shot lists, and shared several emails/phone calls with us. He was hands-on, easy to get a hold of, and shared in the wedding excitement with us. On the wedding day, Benny showed up on time at the hotel to shoot the wedding party getting ready. We had a large wedding party (7 bridesmaids and 7 groomsmen, plus family) and Benny brought along an assistant to help him throughout the day/night. We had some unexpected rain on the wedding day so we had to make the best of taking some pictures inside, but they still turned out really nice. Benny did an excellent job capturing our wedding and all of the special moments we shared! We are so happy that we hired Benny as our wedding photographer and have heard from several guests that the photos turned out amazing. We would highly recommend Benny to other couples seeking a talented, professional, and nice photographer to capture their wedding day or other special occasions. We would also recommend the additional purchase of a wedding album through Benny. We just received ours and it is definitely a lifelong keepsake!! ~Brian and Angela Davis~ read more

My husband and I hired Benny and his partner for our wedding photos and it was one of the best decisions we made for our special day!!! Cannot recommend him enough! We first met with before the wedding, and immediately loved him--he has such great energy and had such an inspiring journey towards his photography business. On the day of the wedding, he and his partner did such an incredible job getting everyone to feel comfortable in front of the camera, kept us on schedule without being pushy or demanding, and they captured the perfect mix of beautifully set up photos and sweet candid ones. Everything looked so natural, and he truly captured all the best moments from the day! The final photos were so so so gorgeous and edited beautifully, he was communicative throughout the process, and offers a great price point for the service he provides. I would definitely recommend using both Benny and his partner for the day--even though it costs more it's well worth the money because they captured everything perfectly! read more

My now-husband and I are so thankful that we found BYC Photography to capture our wedding day! For me, wedding photography was one of the things I was most particular about. I've heard one too many horror stories of things going terribly wrong with photography on someone's special day, so I wanted to ensure we found someone we could trust completely. We were referred to them by a friend, and BYC did not disappoint!! Not only did Benny make us feel relaxed and comfortable in front of a camera lens (believe me it's awkward if you don't have much experience), but he also has an incredible eye for detail, and gave us beautiful portraits! Most importantly, we had such a fun, awesome time with him whether taking photos or talking over wedding schedule details. The one thing (and most important thing) that sets him apart from other photographers I've researched is his love for what he does. Once you work with him, it's truly evident that he cares for his clients and is dedicated to giving them an enjoyable and unique experience tailored to each couple. His response time to e-mails or messages is incredible and he goes the extra mile to make sure that his clients are happy, stress-free and having fun! Our wedding day timeline was packed, but Benny continually checked in to ask us how we were feeling and made us laugh. His chill and flexible personality had a calming presence on a busy day. In the end, we couldn't be happier with our photos! We now see Benny as a family friend and trust him to continue to capture our other family milestones in the future. Without hesitation, we recommend BYC Photography to any and every couple. Just make sure to book him early! read more

The moment we met Benny we knew he was the perfect photographer to share in our most amazing day;Our Wedding! Benny has amazing talent, but wow what energy and personality! Those two aspects make for an enjoyable and unforgettable process. Benny was always on time, always professional and went above and beyond the anticipated duties as our engagement/ wedding photographer. He is a retired Engineer so his love for photography matches his passion for the scene/setting/buildings chosen. Example: We shot our engagement photos at the historic Santa Ana Train station. It was priceless ! The photos were amazing ! Same for our wedding. Benny was constantly checking in with us prior to the wedding, right before and right after. He also checked on us frequently, nearly a year later to remind us of our need to complete our wedding album, we became tardy in finishing. As soon as we did ok the print it was done within a week and a half. He is so prompt and it was absolutely gorgeous as expected. We love Benny! He will go above and beyond. Just meet him. You will know exactly what we mean when you do! read more

This was our first session with Benny and I have to say it will not be our last! Given how big our extended family is, we always have a bit of chaos when it comes time to family photos. With the family or 15 (coming in mostly from Arizona) in conjunction to being the day before Thanksgiving, he and I had discussed what the potential concerns were for the session and what my absolute "must" for picture combinations were. He contacted me prior to the session and was really helpful in suggesting the best location to fit all of our different families as well as offer clothing color suggestions. With as many kids as there were in our session I have to say then he over delivered on anything I could've imagined, he was beyond patient, helpful, and very funny to say the least. All the kids had a great time and were really able to open up to to him and he was able to capture some awesome moments for us to cherish forever. I will definitely plan to use him the next time we have our crazy family together again and can't thank him enough for such great memories to hold close forever. Thank you again Benny!! read more

I appreciate professionals like Benny. He gets it! We were a photo booth vendor at a wedding that Benny shot where he was so nice. That's not always the case in our industry where vendors sometimes don't get along or think they're the center of the universe. We actually knew the coordinator too where she mentioned it was a pleasure to work with him. She said "best wedding photographer in Los Angeles"! Haha. He's all about team Bride and Groom where it's amazing to see that. He took a few of the crowd at our booth and tagged us in the photo. I appreciated that as well as it was really nice of him to share that with us. I also had a friend who ended up hiring him to do their family session. I remember the name and the photos came out great! Such a nice, humble and hardworking guy. I would recommend him in a heart beat for some great quality photos, service and awesome team player attitude! The last thing any vendor, coordinator or bride/groom wants is to have to worry about another vendor so it's great to see that he understands that and is all about being part of the solution! read more

Benny is easily the best photographer I've ever had. My husband and I first hired Benny to shoot our maternity pictures and, because the photos were so perfect and exceeded our expectations, we had to hire him again 6 months later to shoot our family photos. From our two sessions with Benny, we've learned that he is a true artist when it comes to photography and really has an eye for the perfect shot. Besides his talent, he's personable and down to earth and exactly the type of person you'd want to be around. He was even great with our six month old son. If I could give him more stars, I absolutely would. Do yourself a favor and hire him, you'll be happy you did. read more

We're very happy with the photos that Benny took. Additionally, he's very accommodating and easy to work with.

Benny was an amazing wedding photographer for several of my friends, and I thought of him right away for my wedding photos. I absolutely love Benny's photography style, and he has a great eye for poses and beautiful shots. He is so professional and wonderful to work with. My wedding plans had to be changed because of the pandemic, and Benny made everything so special for us, all while accommodating the pandemic restrictions.

Contacted Benny because I needed someone to take photos of my proposal. I took my girlfriend out to dinner and was going to bring her back to my house after dinner and surprise her with a proposal. Benny was unbelievably professional and came prepared and early. He did an outstanding job and I couldn't be happier with the photos he took. He showed up before I came home and took photos of the set up. Let me emphasize he is a professional. Not just a random person with a nice camera. He knows what he's doing and really came through for us. Thanks to him we'll have memories that will last us a lifetime. I highly highly recommend him for any event and will be hiring him for my wedding in the future. Also, as icing on the cake he is a nice guy and easy to talk to and deal with. read more

Our family was looking for a photographer to update our pictures in 2014 to be used for our Christmas card. We were lucky enough to hired Benny @ BYC to update our family photos. Benny was willing to travel to wherever we wanted as a backdrop site for our pictures as he knew we had small children and their attention to detail was limited to twenty minutes. In reality due to his enthusiasm with care he was able to keep the kids entertained and have all of us laughing. Giving our pictures a great natural feel to our expressions because the environment was so relaxed. The preview pictures given to us via a password protected website were received quickly and he was open to options on which pictures we and he felt were the best ones to focus on. All of our friends and family loved the final products he gave us. And we truly recommend him whenever we hear someone is looking for a photographer. read more

After a disappointing photo session at the mall, I decided to look for a qualified photographer who had also worked with kids before. At first I was a bit hesitant because I've never hired a photographer from the Internet. What really gave me confidence was that BYC photography responded to my email the same day. Benny was not only very professional in answering my questions, but also understood the difficulty of photography children. On our initial scheduled appointment my eldest child got sick, and Benny suggested to reschedule. This was really wonderful, because I wanted to make sure my kids would be comfortable and be themselves during a photoshop, and not feeling sick. The day of shooting went really well, the suggested time and location was very suitable. The photographs were done in a reasonable time, and the results are just simply beautiful. It depicts exactly what I wanted: my kids, celebrating sisterhood & family. I hope my husband will love our gift! read more

This was our first session with BYC Photography and my husband and I are very happy with the photos Benny took! We wanted to take maternity photos to commemorate our first baby and are happy we made the right choice! Benny made it a fun and relaxing session which made all the difference. In fact, we could see it translate in our photos. We are very pleased and would definitely come back in the future for more sessions. read more

We had a great time having Benny as our wedding photographer. He was able to capture our different personalities in really creative and fun ways for both our engagement shoot and wedding day. We especially appreciated that he was so accommodating in terms of budget and scheduling and that he made constant adjustments to his schedule to make sure we got everything we wanted and more. He put in extra time and worked with our other vendors and planner to make sure he got a good picture of every single detail/moment. On top of that, he was professional, funny, flexible and easy to work with during the whole process. The pictures came out great and we're so glad we went with BYC! Thanks Benny! read more

Benny did a shoot with me, my daughter, and my girlfriend Stephanie at Yorba Regional Park. He gave us a great deal on the photos, and he was excellent at setting each shot up and at being patient with my 4-year-old daughter (who was honestly pretty fussy by the end of the shoot). Photos came out great - we couldn't have been happier. Highly recommended! read more
