Hello, I’m Benjamin

and i’d like to be your Second Photographer

I’m fairly new to wedding photography but I’m interested to learn more about the ins and outs from someone experienced.

I’d love to assist you in any way possible whether that be taking photos, carrying your equipment, or getting bts for you.

I’ve mostly photographed couples, families, and even a decent amount of yearbook headshots. I started out with filming events for my church a long time ago so I enjoy the event aspect of weddings.

A reason why I see myself as a valuable asset to you is because of my time in the army. A big part of my job required me to be teachable, extremely detail oriented, and quietly observant.

Meaning I’ll be happy to do the less attractive/glorious jobs to help you in any way possible to observe how wedding photography is perfected.

I’m not someone to shy away from grunt work and will work hard to elevate you, your brand, and your clients experience.

What I Bring to the Table

But even with the experience I’ve gained over the past 10 years I know I still have a lot to learn about wedding photography and only touched a piece of the photography iceberg.

I am not currently looking for a paid position, just an opportunity to understand how wedding days flow.

If you decide to put me on a camera I’m confident I can cover the gaps you may not be able to get.

I’m sure the wedding season can get very busy for you so I completely understand if this isn’t something you can do.

But I also know I won’t develop into a great wedding photographer without learning from someone experienced.

I understand by being your assistant it is not about me and how I could build my portfolio but rather assist you in crafting your clients perfect wedding.

So, if you’re willing to give me the opportunity I will be forever grateful.

I hope by viewing this page and website you can see that I have a very strong work ethic and will help you accomplish anything you need at the weddings you shoot.
