The ceremony was held by the garden's heart-shaped lake, the tranquil water reflecting the joy and love that filled the air. As Sarah and Andy exchanged their vows, there wasn't a dry eye in the crowd. The palpable emotion and love between them was a beautiful testament to their relationship.

Hello, it's Ben here! Today, I'm taking you on a journey back to one of the most heartwarming engagement sessions I've had the pleasure to capture. We're travelling to the beautiful Balboa Park in San Diego, where Kendra and Connors chose to celebrate their love story.
&nbsp;
Balboa Park, with its lush greenery and historic architecture, served as the perfect backdrop for Kendra and Connors' engagement session. Its enchanting allure was the ideal setting to echo the couple's blossoming love and the promise of a shared future.
&nbsp;
Kendra, with her infectious laughter and Connors, with his gentle charm, made the day an absolute joy. Their love for each other was evident in every glance, every touch, and every shared giggle. As a photographer, I strive to capture these fleeting moments, the ones that tell a story far beyond words. The story of Kendra and Connors was one of love, joy, and a shared excitement for the journey that lies ahead of them.
&nbsp;
Remember, an engagement session is just the beginning of your wedding story. It's an opportunity to capture the love, the promise, and the joy that lays the foundation for your big day. It's your story, and it deserves to be told beautifully.

Love was in the air at Mikela and Hal&rsquo;s engagement session on the stunning Windansea Beach in La Jolla, San Diego. The day was picture-perfect, with the sun casting a golden glow over the ocean waves, creating an idyllic setting for this special moment.
&nbsp;
Mikela was radiant in a flowing white dress, while Hal&rsquo;s casual yet stylish look in a shirt and khaki pants complemented the beach vibe perfectly. The couple&rsquo;s chemistry was undeniable, their laughter infectious, making every shot effortless and genuine.
&nbsp;
We started with playful poses along the shoreline before heading to the iconic Windansea Shack. The rustic charm of the shack added a unique contrast to their modern love story. But the true magic happened during the sunset. As the sky turned hues of pink and purple, Mikela and Hal&rsquo;s silhouettes against the horizon symbolized their journey into a new chapter together.
&nbsp;
Capturing their love story in such a breathtaking San Diego location was a privilege. Mikela and Hal&rsquo;s bond is inspiring, and their session at Windansea Beach is a testament to love, friendship, and new beginnings.

Riverside County Wedding Venue: The Orchard by Wedgewood Weddings

Hey, it's me again! Today, I'd like to share with you a particularly special wedding day I had the honor of capturing. The lovely couple, Felica and Steve, chose to celebrate their love at the breathtaking venue in Manifee, California - The Orchard by Wedgewood Weddings.
&nbsp;
Their wedding day was nothing short of a fairy tale. The Orchard, known for its enchanting surroundings, provided a perfect backdrop for their special day. Nestled amidst the lush greenery, the venue was filled with an atmosphere of love and excitement. The California sun painted a soft, golden hue, bathing the whole scene in a warm glow, and giving me the perfect lighting conditions to capture their moments.
&nbsp;
Now let's talk about our couple, Felica and Steve. Their love story is one for the books, and it was a pleasure to help them tell their tale. From their first look to their first dance, every moment was filled with genuine emotion that was a privilege to capture. Felica, in her stunning dress, and Steve, looking dapper in his suit, looked like they were straight out of a romance novel.

The Orchard, with its scenic views and rustic charm, offered a plethora of stunning backdrops for the photographs. The joy and love radiating from Felica and Steve made every photo come alive.

Felica + Steve: A Beautiful Wedding Day at The Orchard, Manifee California

My husband and I had our wedding at the Carlsbad Windmill. We found Ben through a review he had left of the venue and noticed he had some experience with that venue. We hired Ben to photograph our wedding and we are so glad we did! We worked with Ben from our engagement session to our wedding day. Ben is very detailed, he helped us breakdown the timeline which made our day run pretty smooth. He also directed us well and he worked well with Paul the second photographer that was part of the package. My husband and I absolutely love our photos and have received compliments from friends and family. We highly recommend Ben 💛!

Matt & Lorena

Ben is an amazing photographer. Very punctual and kind. He delivered more than we can ever ask for! Thank you for capturing the magic from the best day of our lives ❤ Truly had the best photographer! I’m so glad we crossed path and you made our day a dream come true!

Joan & Matt

The wedding of my dream was a success! Thanks to Ben for capturing it all. Anticipated to show my future kids one day, Lord willing. Also, I showed friends and family that couldn’t make it to the wedding and they were in awe of how beautiful it was. They said , I had a great photographer. Thank you Ben again for having a good eye and being super nice as well, we need more of those. :)

My 8 hour wedding photography package is perfect for couples looking for all their essential moments throughout the day captured. This package is great for those not seeking as much getting ready or reception coverage. Includes an online gallery and a one hour engagement session. My approach is to focus on creating a relaxed and authentic experience, so you can enjoy your day while I capture all the beautiful moments. I believe in clear expectations and communication from both parties and do at least two pre-wedding consultations to go over the timeline and plans for the day. My shooting and posing style is loose, candid and directional and I strive to create natural emotions and real moments that seamlessly blend with the rest of the gallery. When you book, we will start the process of discussing all the important details of the wedding, and planning a thorough timeline. If you'd like to schedule a consultation and get to know each other a bit more before booking, feel free to contact me with a day and time you have in mind and I'd be more than happy to grab lunch or chat over the phone. Let's create some amazing memories together!
