Benjamin Gruwell Photography

Few words can describe how incredible of an experience my wife and I have had using Ben as our go-to photographer for all occasions. My wife hired Ben to take her senior photos in high school and we just recently hired him to shoot our engagement photos and our wedding. He has a natural eye for a good photo and can adapt quickly to new settings, conditions, and environments. Despite being young, he has a lot of experience and a breadth of knowledge in great locations for photoshoots. Even if he’s shot at a location many times, your photos will still feel unique and personal. Perhaps the best part of hiring Ben as your photographer is his personality. He’s easy to befriend, personable, and is incredible with kids. He’s very patient and if it weren’t for his easy-going persona, I’d have been a nervous mess during all our photoshoots. Rather, I recall commenting to my wife how genuinely enjoyable it was to get our photos done with Ben. It felt less like a “to-do” or a chore and much more like an experience. But of course, you hire a photographer for the results. And the results are stunning. I don’t generally enjoy looking at pictures of myself but Ben’s photos feel less like looking at pictures of yourself and more like reliving moments in time. He has a such a knack for capturing the beauty of a moment. Perhaps the best part is that he gives you lifetime access to all the full-resolution digital copies of all the photos he took/edited. There may be a premium for this built into his fees, but compared to other photographers I’ve used who charge exorbitant fees for each digital copy you want to acquire, this is a probably still a steal. To say Ben is a photographer is to say Picasso was a painter: he’s one of the friendliest, most talented, and natural artistic professionals I’ve ever met, and if you want a photographer that won’t leave you disappointed, Ben is your guy.

Ben was our photographer for our wedding and WOW did he and his assistant go above and beyond for us! They were both super heroes the whole day- from delivering one of our dresses, fixing our trains, and making sure everything ran smoothly for us, they were fantastic from beginning to end! When we got our photos back we were absolutely blown away! Ben is so talented and he captured our day perfectly as we knew he would!! Ben and Kelsey are both so great to work with, we would HIGHLY recommend them for your special occasion! Thank you again for helping make our day perfect!

Ben is the absolute best. He is so wonderful and easy to work with. The pictures were gorgeous and exactly what we were looking for. We have received so many compliments on our pictures. Ben also did an AMAZING job dealing with my very large, loud and crazy family. I would 100% recommend him to any couple!!

Ben was amazing to work with. He made us feel so comfortable, and his work is absolutely stunning. Would 1,000 times book Ben over and over again. Highly recommend.
