Hi, I’m Ben, a wedding photographer based in Swavesey, near Cambridge. I live here with my wife, Alice, and our daughters, Poppy and Laurel. I’ve been a professional photographer since graduating from university in 2006, working with newspapers, magazines, and as a full-time freelancer since 2015. My work has been featured globally in print, on billboards, book covers, and countless websites.
I started photographing weddings in 2009, and it’s been a true privilege to be part of each one. I’m passionate about capturing genuine moments filled with emotion, creating a collection of images that reflect the joy and warmth of the day. It’s not unusual for me to find myself wiping away a tear behind the camera during the ceremony or speeches! Every couple and wedding is unique, and my goal is to tell your story in a creative and meaningful way.
I’m lucky enough to shoot around 20 weddings a year, and while I am a wedding photographer in Cambridgeshire, I also regularly shoot at awesome venues across Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, London, Lincolnshire, Northamptonshire and further afield in the UK. As well as photographing weddings, I work as a commercial photographer shooting for various businesses and corporates, and occasionally write features and blogs for a number of leading photography magazines and websites.
When I’m not with my camera I love spending time with my wife and two daughters, especially weekends away exploring somewhere new. I’m always listening to music – mostly Americana, folk, indie rock – and enjoy playing the guitar and going to gigs when I can. I follow football, but had to hang up my playing boots a few years ago. I’m keen on travelling and exploring new places. In 2012 I took the train from Peterborough to Tokyo. Just because. I also enjoy reading – especially history books – and metal detecting to find bits of history.
