    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.

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!

    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!!!!

She gets into her zone and does her magic to get the most beautiful portraits. I am already thinking what milestone she will capture for us next! She took my maternity photos at her studio while I was 37 weeks pregnant. She has a beautiful selection of outfits in her client closet. She asks questions before to get an idea of what your vision is. I always envisioned wearing my wedding dress with my baby bump, and she made it happen. She makes the experience stress free; she is prepared and provides guidance on how to pose. I am forever thankful that she captured that chapter of my life! She also took our newborn's photos at 2 weeks old. I was worried that we wouldn't have the best outcome because our baby wouldn't fall asleep, but once he finally did she did her magic. I appreciated how she moved around her studio like a choreographed dance. And again, she was open to ideas to personalize our session. It's difficult choosing favorite photos because they are all so good! I would even take the unedited photos. Thank you Carrie for capturing these special moments!
