Benjamin Studio

I used Benjamin for my wedding photographer almost 4 years ago and I till this day cannot stop looking at my pictures and talking about how great he is. First of all he is wonderful to work with and very friendly. The pricing is the best out there and for the quality and attention you get there is no reason to go elsewhere. Ben was very professional and patient with us the whole day and even brought a 2^nd photographer along with him. Our pictures came out amazing and the book looked so good as well. I love that with Ben you actually get to keep all of your photos on discs that he gives you so you have the freedom to print whatever shots you want. I will always recommend Benjamin photography to anyone looking for a wedding photographer.

Ben is a rare gem in his field as he went beyond to capture our big day for us. He made our photography experience wonderful and memorable because he was so professional and attentive to not only the bride and groom but also our family and friends. Aside from being the cordial person that he is, he’s also very talented in his work. Having worked on my sister’s wedding and did a great job, my husband and I immediately sought out his effort for our big day. It was truly one of the easiest choices that we made. Thank you Ben for your hard work and effort. It was truly an awesome experience working with you first hand. Our family and friends love you!

Best family photo. Ben is great at what he does. Very professional and very very happy with the service. Will definitely come back.

Thanks you Ben photography for my amazing photo shoots. Everything was done in a timely manner and the photographer will even let you choose your desired location. If you have no idea then no worries. He will offer. Thanks…

My wife and I are very happy to have Ben as our photographer for our wedding. I think Ben is very professional and really capture some of the most beautiful moment which create an everlasting memories for us. Overall it was a really fun experience. I would definitely recommend Ben for all friends and everyone who still debating on who to pick as their photographer.

This is the second time I’ve had a session with Ben to commemorate another graduation. It’s been four years since I’ve seen him but it was like no time has passed. He remembered so much about our last session! Once again I was impressed by his photography skills. He made sure my position was just right, had a mirror directed at me so I could adjust my tassels/​gown, and even showed me the images on his camera to make sure I liked what I saw.
He is very prompt with email responses. I had edited photos from the session the very next day. Ben is absolutely wonderful and I know I will be seeing him again for any of my photography needs!

After doing a lot of research to try to find the best photographer for our wedding, my husband and I stumbled across Benjamin’s website. We loved what we saw and decided to meet up with Benjamin. From the very first meeting, Benjamin was professional and genuine. It didn’t take very long for us to decide that Benjamin was gonna be our wedding photographer. Months went by and our wedding day was finally here. Now, CA has been having a drought. No rain in sight for months, but all of a sudden, it decided to rain the night before and the morning of our wedding day. When we got to the venue, Old Ranch Country Club, at 7am, the wedding ceremony site was soggy and we were informed that everything must be moved inside. We were a little disappointed because the whole reason why we wanted to have our wedding at Old Ranch Country Club was because of the gorgeous gazebo outside over looking the golf course.
But, throughout the whole ordeal, Benjamin managed the best and took some of the most gorgeous photos ever! The rain let up long enough for us to have all of our important pictures taken and we managed to have the wedding outside as well! Benjamin made us feel like we have known him for a long time and his energy and passion helped put us at ease. Our pictures turned out amazing. Thank you Benjamin and Benjamin Studio for making our big day a huge success. Your patience, enthusiasm, passion and professionalism had made us enjoy the whole picture taking process and thank you for creating such wonderful memories that we’d remember and cherish for the rest of our lives.
Without hesitation, I’d highly recommend Benjamin to all of our families and friends for all professional photo services.

We had the most amazing experience with Ben as our photographer. This was our family’s first portrait session. Not only was Ben available for a same-​day appointment, the package was reasonable. During the photo shoot, he showed professionalism and expertise (20+ years experience) in photography. He made us feel relaxed, so that we look our best. We had a great time and would highly recommend Ben for anyone. He’s the real deal!

We hired Benjamin to shoot our engagement pictures and wedding pictures and were extremely happy with the results. We looked around a quite a few wedding photographers and Benjamin had the cheapest quote of any of them by over a thousand dollars. Luckily my wife’s aunt had hired him for a family photo shoot previously and so we knew that his pictures were great. Also, we knew him to be a very straight forward, honest and kind person. He was extremely accommodating for any of our requests and was always open and honest with us during the whole process.
For the engagement pictures, he spent the whole day and took us to several places to take the pictures. He gave us all the pictures and let us choose which pictures we wanted in the engagement album. The hardest part for us was choosing a limited number of photos to put in the album from the seemingly unlimited number of amazing photos that he took for us that day (we literally had several hundred great pictures to choose from). In fact, we actually used some of the other photos and made different albums on shutterfly to send to our friends and family for fun. He got the engagement book to us very promptly and my normally very picky wife got quite emotional looking at the photos. He has a rare talent of being able to capture emotion well on film.
The wedding pictures and wedding album was also amazing. However, he really went above and beyond the call of duty when it came to our wedding. Not only did he take amazing photos but he also helped us coordinate the events of our wedding (he should put wedding coordinator on his business card). We are Vietnamese and so is he so he understood the cultural norms of a Vietnamese wedding. He has done many weddings so brought with him experience that neither my wife or myself had and made our wedding itself seamless. After the wedding he again had a ridiculous number of amazing photos that we had to choose from. The wedding album was amazing!!!
We are extremely happy with Benjamin and would very highly recommend him to anybody as a photographer. Personally, we will not be using anyone else for our professional photographer needs in the future except for him.

I had already hired a photographer for my wedding, but my parents insisted on having someone take the traditional Asian guest pictures with the bride&groom that takes place prior to the reception. So we hired Benjamin for the job! He was great! And the quality of the pictures that were printed right on the spot were gorgeous! Even though I didn’t hire him for the whole wedding, I highly recommend him to be your next photographer!

I am soo overdue on this review. I can’t say enough about Ben’s services. He listens, understood what we wanted and made it happen. When we asked him for anything, he will be more then happy to accomdate it. he even brought his antique gramophone, vintage cameras on the field to be part of our vintage theme pictures! My husband and I are so happy with the final products of the engagement shoot.
I’ve recommend and would continue to recommend him to my friends and families :)

A long overdue review for Benjamin and his team. They did a great job on our wedding pictures in 2012. Thanks a bunch for the wonderful memories!

We had Ben & his team shoot our July 2013 wedding. They did a fantastic job capturing all the details, and our personalities. From the first meeting we had already felt a connection, so it was a no brainer when our wedding partying & family felt at ease working with him too!
As with any bride, I was really anxious to see my pictures… Ben was able to get them to us within 2 weeks! He was also very accommodating when I needed photo touch ups or «magic cropping»
Ben’s price point is absolutely reasonable for the great quality and service he provides (all day service (12+hrs), all digital files, and superb photos!) I liked that the package we purchased came with a wedding album… For anyone who is considering Ben, you should know that the album that comes in the packages are top notch! Super great quality photos, printing, and binding. I get sooo many complements on our album!
Thank you Ben for capturing these memories for us!

We drove around to 6 other photo places, but no luck. But Benjamin photo be able to do custom photo ID less than 10 minutes. Ben has great skills! Definitely will be back for other photo needs.

Ben is just absolutely amazing! He was recommended to us by my mom who is in the wedding industry and we went with him as our wedding photographer for our June 2013 wedding. He was very accommodating, easy to work with, and is great with communication, which is something I really needed while I was planning our Southern California wedding from 500 miles away. He’s very detail oriented and understood all the little details I wanted (coming from an art/​design background, that makes me very particular about certain things) and that allowed me to put a lot of trust in him for our wedding photos, especially since we opted out of videography and wanted only photos.
On the big day, Ben and his assistant showed up exactly on time, even when traffic was just horrific that day. He was also very understanding when last minute changes had happened (one of our groomsmen forgot his suit and left everything wedding related at home), which delayed our pre-​ceremony photo session, but Ben spent that time very productively and totally made up for it once we had the chance to do the photos. He and his assistant were just wonderful throughout the day and night, and we were just so pleased.
After our wedding, we received our photos exactly a week after! His turnaround rate is so quick, and the photos turned out so beautiful and amazing! I highly recommend Ben to anyone for weddings and any other special event!

These guys were wonderful to work with
After shopping around and being disappointed with other photographers’ style and professionalism, I decided to go to Benjamin. Not only was his studio nearby my house but he was easy to communicate with. He was good with returning my emails and text messages. It was also easy to explain to him what we were looking for. We wanted our photos done with a vintage look and he successfully achieved it. We also liked that he had his prices listed. There was no additional fees or anything that other places were coming up with.
On the day of, we had a team with us. One photographer was with me and my bridesmaids while we were getting ready. Another photographer was with the guys at their hotel. The photographer that was with us was extremely patient and helpful. He actually had background knowledge about floral work and acknowledge us about how to keep our flowers fresh. It was really helpful. Hearing from the groom’s side, I heard the guys didn’t know exactly how to wear their clothing pieces correctly and their photographer assisted them. Thankfully, Benyamin’s experienced photographers were there to guide us throughout the day.
At reception, besides the photographers shooting the whole event, we also had Benjamin’s team to do our «Thank You» guest greeting photo cards. The guy in charge of that was also very wonderful with guests. All photographers were good with our guests and polite.
The most major thing that made me extremely pleased with Benjamin and his team was an unexpected change of plans that happened on the day of. Half of my family demanded my fiancé (at the time) and I to make a quick stop in between the ceremony and reception at our grandpa’s, which was not on the itinerary. Although it was suppose to be a break for us and the photographers, they still agreed to come and take a few photos for us. They did not hesitate and did a wonderful job.
As for our results, Benjamin provided us with CDs of all our wedding photos. Our package also included a wedding album that arrived pretty quick, considering the final touches they did.
Overall we couldn’t have been more happy using them for our special day. I recommend them to anyone needing photographers. They are experienced and professional. Their work was beyond our expectation and we are very pleased.

Ben was great! I called him to see if he could take a professional photo for that same day! He squeezed me in and gave me the photos the same day! I had two shirts and he gave me his professional opinion on what looked best! He paid attention to all the details! The pictures came out fantastic!!! I recommend him for anyone looking for a photographer that pays attention to detail and is very talented!!!

I would highly recommend Ben and his photo/​videography team. He took care of my engagement and wedding photo/​video needs, and his personal touches in making everything perfect were beyond my expectations. Planning a wedding can be overwhelming, and choosing the right person to capture the special moments is one of the most important decisions to be made. Ben was personable, reliable, and takes a lot of pride in his work. There were many times I said to him «that’s okay Ben, it’s not a big deal, don’t worry about it», but he is a perfectionist who genuinely cares about making everybody happy and would do things above and beyond. For example, we wanted a framed canvas photo at our wedding reception, and when we saw it, it was like a piece of museum artwork! Even the guests attending the wedding next to our ballroom were over in our area admiring the photo, and we heard them whispering how it was so much nicer than the other wedding photos propped up in the hotel. Having Ben be your photography will give you the peace of mind that he’ll get everything done right, and better than you could have ever expected!

Benjamin was our wedding photographer in May 2012. My wife and I are very pleased with services that were provided by Ben. We checked out other photographers near the same price range including Huy Khiem. That guy was ridiculously way Over-​priced. I’m happy we didn’t go with Huy Khiem and saved literally thousands of dollars and we still got great looking high-​end professional photos.
Ben personally did the photography along with his assistant at each of the events which included beach shoot, tea ceremony, wedding ceremony, and reception. Some other places actually dispatch their assistant photographer to do the photoshoots which would leave you feel like you were cheated since you paid so much.
My wife and I are extremely happy with our end results. The 2 large acrylic cover albums look awesome. Our leather guestbook album turned out to be a big hit at the weeding reception. Our guests actually took their time to write in it when it was passed around from guest to guest during the reception. Thank you Benjamin and staff on a job well done!
Sincerely,
Chris and Patricia

Ben did my pre-​wedding and my wedding day photography. My husband and I are very happy with the results of both our pre-​wedding and wedding day photos. He is a very professional, friendly, and a patient person whom does all he came to capture the best moments. He’s also passionate about what he does, and I think his passion really helps with capturing the most precious photos.
All of our family and friends loved our photos, and we are very happy to have the very best memories of our special day. Our photos are absolutely beautiful, and we had a great experience with Ben. We highly recommend Ben’s services.
