She was highly professional, was easy to communicate with, and knew exactly what she was doing on the wedding day. Her attention to detail was abundant in the way she looked for the perfect lighting, in the timing to keep everything on schedule, and in her experience in finding all the perfect photo spots around Nestldown. She was also amazing at working with and around all our other vendors. We watched her work perfectly in tandem with Daniel Bowen from Matter Video, as they were able to help each other get the perfect shots for both the videos and the photos. Danielle is experienced and knows what she's doing. She has an eye for beautiful pictures and the experience to make the vision come to life. We would highly recommend choosing her as your wedding photographer. -Nickie & Jonathan, June 2025

Danielle is amazing in every way and her photos are incredible! We had the best time during our…read moreengagement shoot and we are in love with our photos. My fiancé and I do not have a lot of experience being photographed and we were pretty nervous. Her calm and relaxed demeanor helped us loosen up and be ourselves, it was such a fun bonding experience for us. She helped us with poses, giving us gentle direction so that we felt comfortable and confident. We received our photos quickly after the session and seeing what she captured brought tears to my eyes. The photos are gorgeous and really captured our love and laughter. In addition to our engagement photos, she also took some family photos of us and our dogs. She was patient, flexible, and creative with us and our senior dogs who don't love being photographed. She captured all of us in a beautiful way and we will cherish the photos forever. I truly cannot say enough about how wonderful Danielle is in every way. We will truly cherish these photos and the memories we made while taking them. Thank you, Danielle

I was highly impressed by her her on the day of the shoot. Once we got the photos back I was even more amazed at her talent.

Some of the pictures were so good that I even ordered canvas prints and they will be going in our new house!

Ely directed our day and created structure like a true professional, but was ever-present for spontaneous moments. I truly can't imagine the day without him. He will absolutely be our go-to photographer for any future needs. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Ely! You are the best of the best!

But Tony is one of the best, and you won't go wrong hiring him and his team! We hired Tony for both our photos and wedding video, and were blown away by both. His team was super outgoing and fun to be around, and never felt like they were in the way. They were just there capturing the day. We told Tony that we didn't want a lot of really posed photos and that is exactly what we got, and then some. I'm so grateful to have all of the memories captured so beautifully..especially since the day is over in the blink of an eye. We can't wait to look at our photos and watch our video for the 50+ more years we hope to be married. Thank you Tony and team for the gift you have given us!

Tony and his team photographed our wedding a couple weeks ago and I have a few things to say…read more First, the day of our wedding, beginning to end, was magical. Tony and his colleague captured that magic in a way I have trouble putting words to. They were on time, dressed well, professional, and didn't need any direction from me or my husband. Within moments of their arrival, it was clear they are well-versed and excellent at what they do. Second, I received several calls from family and friends asking where I found Tony. They were beyond impressed by him and his colleague's attitude and finesse. Lastly, he estimated 8 weeks to finish my photos and I got them in 19 days. This isn't to say they were rushed by any means. Each photo is beautifully edited. While viewing the photos, we laughed, we cried, and we were transported back in time to the best day of our lives. I will forever recommend Tony.

When my husband and I got engaged last fall we knew exactly where we wanted to exchange our…read moremarriage vows and booked our venue immediately. But equally as important to us was choosing a great wedding photographer who would capture our day, our love, family and the details that went into every decision made while planning our big day. We set out to find a photographer the same week. We did not know Benjamin but had seen his work among 3 other professional wedding photographers that we contacted. Two things we knew: one, we knew that we wanted someone who had proven strengths as a wedding photographer and two, we knew there would be cost for quality. I am not going to lie, it was not easy choosing. We have some amazing talent in Central Oregon and I know of the handful of photographers that we considered, we most likely would have been pleased with their work as individual artists. We chose Benjamin for a few reasons that stood out after looking at his work and interviewing him. He does have a talent for working with light that is pretty amazing. He has an eye for capturing the emotion of not only people but of the scene. He was quick to tailor our wedding package to our needs as well as including our engagement session as a gift. I think the engagement session is a must for any photographer to be able to get to know their clients and how photogenic or un-photogenic they are, their humor, their chemistry etc. For a photographer to know this importance to the point of including a pre-session of sorts as automatic is telling. Finally, like the others we had interviewed, we found Benjamin to be both professional and personal in a way that created ease. I have included some of my favorite shots that speak to how well our day, special place, love and family were captured. If you want a professional wedding photographer I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography. If you want someone to personally tend to you and the design of your day I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography. If you want a calm energy as you go through your day with photographers by your side I recommend Benjamin Edwards Photography.

You will be happy you used him for your wedding or any other special project that requires amazing imagery. He is simply the best!
