A special note from Ben & Kadin

Hi everyone, we wanted to say thank you firstly for choosing our photography services and our approach to your wedding day. 

We have put a lot of focus on your day and learning about each of you, how you interact with eachother, the camera, and with us. Each of you shares something similar. You will each have a wedding this year, and ourselves or our team will be there for your wedding day.

This is a very personalized experience and less of a commercialized or large business that brings instant gratification with a standard process. We know that in this time and age, that we love to see results instantly and quickly and that if we don’t see instant results or replies that we may feel offended by that or ignored.

This is not what is happening. In choosing us, you are also choosing to support a family & individuals with a love and passion specifically for you and your wedding. 

Here we have a different approach that says good things are worth waiting for, even if that sometimes means short delays or attention refocused at a later time so that when it is revisited it is with a full passion and happiness to do it.

For us to create outstanding and one of a kind memories, we need time and energy for pondering, changing and growing on those changes and it is an intoquet balance of deadlines, creativity, day to day work, and studied and patient approach. And sometimes requires us delaying the day to day to find our ground and foundation for inspiration by stepping away from the more tedious or time consuming parts of photography business.

This is our constant balance, our constant life. And we believe in order to have these results and approach, there are several things that we need from each of you.

Life is precious and we all only get one of them. This means calculation and patience and growth are okay for us and we hope that is okay with you.

This may require patience or change with us as we will always put our daughter and family first, and those parts of our lives are changing every day as well.

A note regarding style and approach.

There is no such thing as perfect in our book. You will see that a lot of our style and approach to taking photographs is in our focus on the moments that happen in between, the imperfect moments, the emotions or changes that happen in the moment. This is a direct reflection of how we also just enjoy life. We love the moments that aren't perfect, sometimes difficult and sometimes change. We will not try to originate anything that isn’t organic and we don’t believe a photo or moment is so important important, that it is worth ruining or damaging other memories or moments to do so.

Nit pickiness is a sign of desire for perfection or expectation. We ask that your expectation is that there will be no such thing as perfection. There will be an expectation that we perceive others pictures as often being better than our own, and we find that contentment only comes from viewing our own lives, moments, and photos as our favorites. We know that in this time it is easy to wish we were in someone else’s shoes, but we are all living our own lives, our own experiences and embrace them and enjoy them as they happen.

There is a beauty in imperfection, and this is why we embrace it and love to focus on it. It often can define us at our quirkiest or strings, but is also part of our most true selves. People will often say how beautiful a photo or perfect a photo is that we took, but in the eyes of the subject, they thought they looked weird or were making a funny or strange face. Isn't it funny how some of you are making your must have shot lists from photos that others don't even like or fully appreciate to the full extent others are.

We are individuals. Although we provide a service and experience, we are also fellow friends and humans sharing a similar goal and desire to grow and learn at every chance. We aren’t perfect and make mistakes. We always try our best, but our product and service is also open interpretation, to change and open to fluctuation in our approach or style and that we cannot promise anything more than our desire to photograph or film in a way that is our own.
