Ben Pancoast Photography

Ben Pancoast is truly everything we could have asked for in a photographer and so much more. It may…read moresound cliche to say, but Ben was not only fantastic to work with as a person, and once you see his work, you will see that it speaks for itself. Ben is a very talented and passionate photographer. Our parents and our venue both came to us as a couple after the wedding and said how much they loved Ben as a photographer (I know some venues hate certain vendors, but our - Hilton Garden Inn wanted to add Ben to their preferred vendor list after our wedding). Ben offers many wedding packages and options to fit many different budgets. Ben also helped us out when we were in a bad spot with our guest book printer, and truly saved the day! He is based out of St. Joseph, MI while we live in Chicago, but Chicago is within his travel radius. He was able to come out to the city for no extra charge! We also took a trip out to St. Joe for a 2nd shoot, and being a native, Ben had some great locations to show us. One thing we loved about Ben was his passion for his craft. The number of times we found Ben crawling on the ground or rolling around to get the perfect shot were far too many to count. It is great to feed off of his energy. You can truly tell he loves what he does! For the wedding, we also recommend that couples spend the extra and go for the photo booth. Ben has a unique approach to the photo booth that we have yet to see at a wedding, and it was a fan favorite! We would recommend Ben and his studio without any hesitation, and hope to use his services again in the future.

Ben Pancoast recently photographed my wedding, and working with him was nothing short of a delight…read more I have been in several weddings and have found photographers to often steal the show or become a bit of a nuisance with constant requests for canned, posed photos. Not the case with Ben - I had several guests comment on his professionalism and method of capturing the true essence of the event in an unintrusive manner. The flash bulbs did not stop throughout the event, and Ben was sure to identify great opportunities for photos, such as a few in a field at sunset and a few more later in the evening just as a low fog settled close to the outdoor reception area. I would absolutely recommend Ben's services to anyone looking for a great photographer with a fantastic rapport and more photojournalistic style. I would also recommend the photo booth - affordable and great fun!

Being an amateur shy "model" in my beginning phases I had no idea what to expect when I reached out…read moreto set up a photo shoot with Chris . As I had other photoshoots but as I would later come to find out none like this . Not only am I a beginner I am a plus size model that comes with its challenges one of the biggest being my insecurities and self esteem issues . But I would soon come to find out that this wasn't just anytype of photoshoot and just some photographer trying to pass time taking photos as a hobby to build a portfolio. He was invested , professional, and most importantly for me compassionate. The compassion was a big piece for me because of the insecurities and self-esteem issues about my body but that quickly melted away it wasn't even like a photo shoot it was like it turned into an artist painting on a canvas and as such things went smoothly just like that from there . It felt like the whole world had just disappeared in that moment as I posed with the air slightly hitting my face with my eyes closed . It was the most beautiful part of the shoot ( the bedsheet and bed poses ) . Time and time again I come across my photos and I relive the moments of every shot I took with Chris. I can honestly say I cannot wait for what the future holds and to have this experience again would be amazing . I have never felt so good so alive so ...I mean I can't even in words tell you really I want it all over again...and again and then some ....

From the owner: I started photography professionally in 2014. In 2017 decided to focus on boudoir.read more
