My review:
Photographer- Benjamin Gustafsson- A+
Ben went above and beyond our expectations. We took a bit of a chance using Ben because at the time we booked him he had never shot a wedding before (but had lots of other photography experience). We fell in love with his portfolio and got along with him so well; we just had to choose him. We are SO glad that we did. He ended up being my absolute FAVORITE vendor from the whole wedding. He was so easy to work with during the planning process and always responded to emails promptly. He attended our rehearsal so that he would know exactly how the ceremony would run, helping him getting better shots. He showed up early on the day of and brought two assistant shooters (one was a female so that we could get dressing room/getting ready shots more comfortably). Throughout the wedding, he was so on top of his game and was every where getting every great shot for 8 straight hours, but never "in the way". He even drove Colby and I around the property (in a BMW no less, haha) to get shots at various locations. Two weeks after the wedding we got our photos and could not be more in LOVE with them. He has a great creative eye and a real talent. We are SO, SO happy!
Ben is currently living in New York City but tells me that he is open to do wedding work in both NYC and Austin. If you're at either place, definitely contact him to see if he's available because you won't regret it. :-)Here is a link to all my reviews:
