We used Ben as our wedding photographer in September 2011. We would have no hesitation in recommending him to any one needing a wonderful photographer! In the run up to the day he was helpful and answered everyone of my never ending questions, on the day he was professional and put all our guests at ease and afterwards he showed us photographs that we will treasure. We could not ask for more and he was definitely the easiest of all our suppliers to deal with. Thank you Ben! Caroline and Tim

I have to say I was very nervous about having my photo taken all day long but Ben could not have made us feel more at ease, he really did make our day even better and the memories are all there in black, white, colour and vintage! Ben you worked so hard surrounded by my huge family to capture really lovely, natural moments. We can't get over how good the shots of us together are and they will be part of our home forever. Thank you for making such an effort to get it all so right,

Just a little note to say a big thank you- we couldn't have asked for a better photographer to capture our special day! We were so impressed with the mix of photos that you took and we now have the difficult job of deciding which ones to put up on the wall! You were friendly and made our guests feel at ease by learning their names and giving them a smile. People have since told us they thought you were the right balance of being assertive but not intrusive- a hard job with over 100 guests and lots of family!! We are so happy that we chose you to be our photographer!

Blooming Photography are professional from start to finish. Ben was a real pleasure to have at our wedding as he made everyone feel at ease and almost all of our wedding guests commented on what a nice bloke he was! His non-intrusive style worked well as we were able to relax and enjoy our day with the added bonus of having fantastic photos to show at the end of it. Both the natural and ‘staged’ shots really were fantastic as he worked with us to ensure we got what we wanted from him as well as guiding us with regards to what works well. We highly recommend Ben to anyone, do not hesitate you will not be disappointed in the results

I couldn't rate Ben highly enough. We married in August and asked Ben for documentary style of photos - not so many posed ones but capturing moments that we were too busy to see and that is exactly what we got. Ben was unobtrusive and yet somehow always there, I didn't feel like I was being followed round by the paparazzi but there's enough photos it seems I was. Most of all it was a pleasure to have him there. He chatted to friends and family made them all feel comfortable with him and got some absolutely stunning shots. I cried when i saw the photos they are the best keepsake I could possibly ask for from what was such an amazing day. Thanks again Ben.. As soon as we have tiny feet pattering we'll be back to see you.

Our photographer was one of the highlights of our wedding day! The photos Ben produced were of such an honest and beautiful quality, which could only have been achieved by his being so easy going and making ourselves and guests (especially the children) feel comfortable and relaxed. He was everywhere at once and managed to capture both the essential moments and some more creative and informal compositions. Many of our guests commented on his unintrusive professionalism but more so his people skills and enthusiasm. This made for a fun environment which eradicated every brides's dread of awkward family must have shots and those shy guests!

Ben was careful to consider our individual needs (he learned our family's names) and was keen to discover our tastes by meeting with us both at his studio and also at the venue. Our photos were ready to collect before we were home from our honeymoon and are a much loved reminder of our wedding day. We would readily recommend Blooming Photography as a trusted, professional and personal service.

For a couple who are somewhat camera shy, and who are not used to being the centre of attention, it was really important to us that we used a photographer who could capture our wedding day in an informal and relaxed way.

We had no need to worry – from our first meeting with Ben he put us at ease. His friendly, professional manner and dedication to his work made Ben a pleasure to work with. Ben takes the time to get to know his clients, and using this knowledge and his skills and creative flair is able to create some wonderful images. Ben has a great eye for detail, which enables him to create wedding shots that are really unique and special.

Ben was more than just our photographer he was a guest at our wedding. From the bride's preparation right through to the coffee and cigars he mingled with our family and friends.
Many of our guests commented on Ben’s friendly and professional manner, he was never intrusive, and was a real asset to our day.

We are really delighted with our photographs. They have captured our happiness, the wonderful atmosphere, and the beautiful venues superbly.

We had a fantastic wedding, and thanks to Ben have a wonderful photographic record. Our album is not just a collection of photographs though; it captures the story of our wedding day beautifully.

You won’t be disappointed!

We are extremely grateful to Ben for his help and support as well as his photography, not only on the day but in the buildup also. His ability to capture the moments with style and with a relaxed feel made our special day perfect. Anyone has married will know that as bride and groom you don’t get to see much of your day so it was wonderful to visit Ben on our return from holiday to go through the photos. The way it was presented to us was great as we were able to see the whole day unfold in chronological order which helped us to relive the day. We cannot thank you enough.

Ben was superb from the start, making us both feel genuinely comfortable, relaxed and confident in his ability to shoot pictures beyond a quality we’d imagined - he did not fail to deliver. The results were a stunning mixture of both formal and informal shots which completed captured our day. Ben is also very likeable, which should always be considered given the amount of time and impact the photographer has on the day – we would have been as happy to have Ben as a guest at our wedding for the day!

Thank you Ben for a truly professional service - you were so wonderful with my two children, one very hyper 2 1/2 year old boy and one tearful 11 month year old girl who got stagefright! Your endless patience and good humour were much appreciated and made the whole experience much more relaxing than I would ever have imagined. The end results were amazing - I found it very difficult to choose amongst all the fantastic shots you took - and everyone who comes to our house remarks on how great the photos are. Many thanks again.

Many thanks for the wonderful photographs and for the care and attention you gave to recording our very special day . Peter and felt I that your presence at our wedding was a positive asset rather than the chore we have experienced at other weddings . Your charming personality, obvious artistic talent and great warmth made us all feel very relaxed and happy - something which is evident in the wonderful range of photographs your captured of us, our friends and family.

Ben was the model professional; effortlessly capturing the mood of the occasion and all the moments and characters that make a wedding so special. His relaxed and engaging style meant that everyone he met – from Godmothers to grannies – was put at ease, which in turn made it easier for him to take some excellent pictures. We think that Ben’s innate ability to get on so well with people, combined with his proactive approach and keen eye for a great picture, is one of the main reasons why he came away from our wedding with hundreds of beautiful and memorable photos.

When we returned from our honeymoon, Ben was extremely organised and he helped us immensely when it came to choosing images for the various photo albums we had ordered. His patience and creativity throughout this process, and his desire to work with us to achieve the best results, meant that what could have been a chore turned out to be a real pleasure. We couldn’t be more pleased with the results of all his hard work, and we know that our photos are a treasure we will return to again and again in the years to come.

Overall, Ben is an extremely talented and professional photographer with a gift for gauging the mood of an occasion. I would have no hesitation in hiring Ben again, and would heartily recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer for their special day.

It was an easy choice to use Ben to photograph our wedding. His relaxed and enthusiastic approach made us feel instantly at ease and his style and quality of photography stood out miles above the rest. He was a joy to have around on the day & we now have some fabulous photos as a reminder of one of the most important days of our lives, in particular the best confetti shot I've seen!

Thank you, Ben for producing such wonderful photographs of our wedding day. You managed to capture the personality of Mat and I completely as well as all our guests. Not only did you capture the classic shots that all family members want but you went out of your way to capture some more contemporary artistic photographs that Mat and I wanted which really was a once in a lifetime opportunity. You had a wonderful manner on the day that many of our guests commented on, where you were having fun doing your job and making people relax and not bossing them around when they wanted to have a chat and a drink with someone, yet getting all those crucial group shots as well as many un-staged shots which allowed peoples personalities to shine through. In fact the artistic shots are so good we now want to get a couple put on canvas and acrylic as they are too good to just sit in an album. Thanks again.

We approached Ben with an 11th hour request to photograph a building we had just re-branded. We were on a very tight deadline to produce the promotional material, ready for a launch party the following week.

Ben was incredibly accommodating, and made himself available for the following day. The photographs were excellent and met with the client’s approval, so much so that he also became the photographer for the launch event!

Ben is highly personable and professional and I have no hesitation in recommending him.
