About Ben Straily Photography
Ben Straily Photography
Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.
My couples choose me because of my relaxed and fun approach to a wedding day. I believe that coupes should have a wedding for the wedding experience and not an 8 hour photo shoot. When taking photos, I make you and your partner the focus to take the pressure off allowing it to be a fun experience for everyone. I strive to capture the emotion and feel of the day without being a nuisance. I want you to live your day and let me make it look beautiful.

Top-Notch Work from Start to Finish
We worked with Ben for both photography and videography at our wedding, and we couldn’t have been happier with the experience. From our very first phone call, where he carefully went over every detail, to the time he dedicated to planning the schedule with us, everything was handled thoughtfully and professionally. On the wedding day, Ben was organized and a pleasure to work with—our guests loved him. He captured so many beautiful, genuine moments that we’ll cherish forever. The final photos and video turned out amazing: natural, authentic, and professionally edited to perfection. We highly recommend Ben to anyone looking for outstanding photography and videography services and will absolutely work with him again for future events.

Thanks Ben
From the moment we booked Ben Straily Photography, we were impressed by their clear, timely, and transparent communication style. Ben and his team were incredibly professional, attentive, and collaborative throughout the entire process. For our engagement shoot, they worked closely with us to pick the perfect location for our portraits, and on the day of our wedding, they were able to quickly pivot when our original location was closed off due to a public event. Ben provided us with wedding previews the very next day, which was such a wonderful surprise. We are thrilled with the quality of Ben Straily Photography's work and would highly recommend them to any couple looking for a talented, dedicated, and personable wedding photographer.

Amazing!
Ben was amazing! We had a switch up in photographers last minute and Ben was everything. From knowing how to place the veil better than me! To knowing all the great shots to grab. Even came up with some cool late night shots. He was so professional. He will all party on the dance floor with you getting all the cool shots.

15/10 experience!
We had a wonderful experience with Ben as our photographer! The day started out very stormy & rainy & it was a little chaotic with getting the wedding party from place to place but Ben did an awesome job getting great shots during the rain storm before the ceremony. After the rain cleared up, we were also able to get beautiful shots in the courtyard, all our family photos, & even sunset photos with some time to hang out with our guests during cocktail hour! Throughout the whole reception Ben & the photographers were awesome with all of our guests & with us! Ben asked us if it would be ok to pull us away for some quick rain photos & he ended up getting the most amazing shot ever (had to upload a compressed version)! Overall would 50000% recommended anyone to book Ben for their wedding (or any event) photography!
