Caroline + Ben Photography

Where do I even start? From the very first email and consultation, I knew that Ben was flexible, professional, experienced, easy going, and accommodating. I knew he had the photography skills from viewing his portfolio online but he completely went above and beyond. Ben listened to what I had envisioned for our engagement session and he found the perfect location for us and worked with us to get amazing pictures. I also had my bridal pictures done with him and ill planning on my part left me without a framed picture for the wedding and it was days away! Ben shows up the day of with a beautiful portrait for me. Amazing! Ben and Caroline were wonderful on the day of the wedding. They were nonintrusive (you know the kind, where it seems like they're at the altar with you) but were able to capture amazing pictures from all different angles. Seriously, I don't know what more I can say to convince you Ben is the photographer for you! I could go on and on though. Oh and as an extra special touch, our CD was sent in an amazing keepsake container. From beginning to end, Ben was amazing and exceeded all our expectations.

The second Daniel and I met with Ben, we knew right away that he would do an amazing job with capturing every moment of our engagement through our wedding night! After looking through HUNDREDS of other local photographers' portfolios, we knew we had to have Ben for the wedding. He truly has a gift of capturing every moment in the best light. From the very start, Daniel and I have been blown away by every photo Ben has captured. We couldn't have asked for anything more from Ben. Without him, we wouldn't have been given the blessing of reliving the wedding everyday through his pictures. You can count on Ben for capturing literally EVERY second of your wedding! Thank you Ben for everything you have given Daniel! Your photography was the best wedding present, EVER! :)

I can't recommend Ben highly enough. Photography was one of the most important things to us about the wedding and, boy, are we happy we went with him! We are so pleased with the photos he took, and all of our friends and family have been raving about them as well. He captured so many great and funny moments from our wedding day...I can't stop looking at the photos and know that we'll enjoy looking back and reliving the day for years to come. Not only is Ben a wonderful photographer, but he's super nice and professional and great to work with. I'd recommend hiring him along with his partner so that you get pictures from two different perspectives - we did and are very happy we went that route. Thank you, Ben!!

AMAZING...i mean really just look at his work. Ben is very professional and replies to emails very quickly. I would suggest him to anyone. Thank you Ben for loving what you do! PS get the party booth. Best idea ever to keep your guests busy!

The quality was top notch, and for the price, especially fantastic.

Ben was outstanding! His finished product was amazing; his photographs helped me relive those amazing moments and appreciate those special details that I didn't have time to see on the day-of. He was prompt, flexible, and kind, as well as easy and fun to work with. Everyone loved him, and all of my friends and family can't believe how great his pictures look. He took a variety of shots - classic, candid, and artistic - something for everyone! I highly recommend him to all brides in the Austin area.

Ben and Caroline were amazing!!! We had a great time working with them and they were totally flexible when things didn't go "quite right" trying to wrangle people for photos after our ceremony. I would completely recommend Ben to anyone looking for a photographer :) I am trying to come up with a good reason to hire him again!!! (baby photos in a few years??)

My wedding was on a boat. Ben was still able to get amazing angles and shots with all my friends and family depite the closed setting. He took charge and got in tons of pictures despite the hectic schedule. It was so nice to relax and know that all the pictures were going to be great. Ben will capture every aspect of your wedding so you can look back and cherish every little detail!!

Ben is fabulous! We can not express how happy we are with our photos. He got some great candid shots, there were times we didn't even know he was around. He has a great eye for using the surrounding landscape and capturing the perfect moments. We had a few suggestions of our own and he was totally open to them. We aren't from the area so when we found him online it was a total gamble, and we could not be happier. We would absolutely and without hesitation recommend him fully! Thank you Ben!Erin & Elliott

Ben Godkin is a must-have for your engagement session and wedding day. He's not only professional and responsive, but he's amazingly talented. When I was originally on the hunt to find a photographer, I didn't have any referrals...just the Internet. It was quite a difficult search, as so many photographers out there are "cookie cutter" and borderline cheesy. I was looking for someone with artistic vision and a unique take on wedding photography - nothing too fancy or off-the-wall but just enough to make it feel and look special. After seeing Ben's portfolio online, I thought his work was great. After seeing OUR photos, I know for sure he was the perfect choice. He gave us exactly what we were looking for, and made us feel comfortable throughout our experiences with him. My husband and I are simply thrilled with our photos!

Hands down, you should go with Ben Godkin for your wedding photography - He did such an amazing job that ALL my friends want him now too. I've gone to 3 wedding after my own and all I hear about is the amazing job that Ben did. Ben really went out of his way for us - meeting with us twice at random times since my husband and I had crazy schedules. He even came up to Killeen with my crazy family to greet my husband (fiance at the time) who was returning from Iraq. I didn't remind him about the photographer I had brought - but there was no need - Ben blended right in and Will never had a clue. All our pictures show our genuine emotions, but look like works of art. I want to print everything out on canvas and hang it all up! Ben has such a great eye for the most stunning pictures. Teasing light, reflections, lines, shapes, - his gifts! He offered great advice and really became our friend through the whole process. I could go on forever really, so please check out his awesome blog and meet him!! (and hurry, word is getting out about how great he is so his calendar is filling up!!) Thanks Ben!!!

Ben is a great photographer and is extremely easy to work with. The day before the wedding, when we realized we needed a picture printed out for our guest book table, he helped us out and had it ready to go the next day. He was inobtrusive during the wedding, but still got great shots of the ceremony and the reception. My husband and I were very happy with the pictures we got back and would recommend Ben to other couples.

Ben Godkin took AMAZING pictures on my wedding day! All my family and friends were impressed with his work and they way he did such an excellent job of capturing all those special moments! I'm still getting compliments on my pictures.

Ben Godkin did a wonderful job of our wedding photo and I would recommended for future brides.

We really enjoyed working with Ben Godkin on these photos, but we both wish it had been a little less windy! Nothing he could control, obviously, but it was a bit of a let down that we couldn't reschedule or something. He still managed to get some great shots that we are very happy with.

We chose Ben Godkin because of his fresh, unique style. So much time and consideration goes into the seemingly endless wedding details, and Ben managed to capture each and every one with grand flare. He was in the perfect spot at the perfect moment as the event unfolded. Ben is dedicated, enthusiastic, and easy to work with. He took a moment in time and created beautiful images that will be cherished and enjoyed for years to come. Thank you, Ben!

Wow! that is the only opening statement I can think of that is appropriate for Ben's work. From engagement pictures to wedding day Ben was phenomenal. What about Ben makes him so great to work with? He is creative, artistic, open minded, and just has a great eye for capturing perfect memorable shots. The pictures he took from our wedding day are not just pictures, they are a complete story from start to finish. Now we can look back and have a perfect detailed reflection of our favorite day. I cannot thank Ben enough and recommend him enough!

Ben could not have been any better! He was so professional, so patient, and so much fun to have around during the whole process. My husband and I felt so comfortable being ourselves around him, which led to some really amazing, very true-to-us shots. Caroline helped out during my bridals and the wedding, and she was absolutely amazing, too. Photography was the most important aspect in the planning process, and we were definitely not disappointed. He makes everyone happy with the variety of shots he gets, too--from us and our friends to our parents and grandparents. In my husband's words, "Ben's awesome."

Ben did an awesome job with both my engagement photos and wedding. I definitely recommend using him.

Ben was exactly what I was looking for in my wedding photographer. He began with our engagement pictures which turned into our guest book, huge hit at the reception! My bridals were fantastic! The day of the wedding Ben was the best! Professionalism with the perfect match of artistic photography and I could not be happier! I recommend Ben to anyone who is searching for the perfect photographer!

Ben was an absolute delight to work with and his pictures are fantastic! He was by far our favorite vendor. We paid for a basic service, and he over-delivered in every way and went well beyond what we asked for or even could have imagined. He is professional, flexible, compassionate, and has a great sense of humor to boot. My husband and I have beautiful images we'll treasure forever! I have recommended Ben to my friends, family, and anyone who will listen. We hope to call him again someday for baby pictures!!! Thank you Ben!

Ben was wonderful to work with! He has a great artistic eye and really captured the feel of our day. Other than the formal group shots, I could not have told you where he was during the ceremony and reception. He was invisible and extremely professional. If you want someone who will listen to your ideas and create a stunning visual image of your special memories, you had better chose Ben!

Ben did an awesome job on my engagement and wedding photos!! I have already recommended him to other friends who are planning weddings. I did allot of research before I chose him to do my wedding photos and my main concern was that I could trust my photographer not take stupid pictures, and he didn't!! :)

Ben is a wonderful photographer. He makes you feel confortable and takes amazing pictures. My photographer cancelled on me at the last minute and Ben saved the day. I will forever be thankful for his work.

Ben is very imaginative and mixes artistry and innovation with the "regular" pictures that capture your wedding day. It was great working with him!

Besides marrying a fabulous man, hiring Ben Godkin Photography was the absolute best decision I made for my wedding day. Folks are STILL complimenting us on the photos--almost nine months later. From the moment we met Ben and saw his collection, we knew that he would capture moments of our wedding day in an authentic and artistic way. Every encounter we had with Ben was professional and courteous. He was prompt in all of his responses to our questions and requests and he is so easy to work with. We are so, so happy to have a beautiful collection of photos to remember our time with our family and friends. I can not recommend Ben highly enough.

GREAT photographer! My husband and I loved working with Ben. He made our wedding day so easy for us, he was friendly and easy to work with, made us feel so comfortable, had GREAT ideas, also used our ideas and was ready to do whatever we asked. Our pictures are gorgeous, and i would definitely recommend him to anyone.

My now Husband and I have known Ben G. for several years. So when the time came for us to choose our Wedding Photographer He was the only person to come to our minds. After making contact with Ben, we browsed his website and were amazed at his eye for detail and unique snap shots. We would recommend Godkin Photography to everyone for all your special moments!

Ben did an amazing job on both our engagement and wedding pictures. Very talented photographer and easy to work with. He has a way of capturing moments in photos that we otherwise would have missed. I would definitely recommend Ben Godkin Photo! 5 stars all around!

Ben did an AMAZING job at our wedding. Ben is not only an amazing photographer but he has become a wonderful friend. I highly recommend Ben. If you want not only a good photographer but a good friend Ben Godkin is a wise choice

Ben Godkin photographed my wedding on Aug. 8, 2009. He had previously shot weddings of two of my friends. I was amazed by the pictures from both of those weddings. He has an eye for catching creative shots. He mixes class with creativity. I have shown the proofs to many friends in the past few weeks and they cannot stop raving about how great they are. Ben has a great way of making you feel at ease, while also ensuring that the job gets done. I am definitely no supermodel, but his engagement pictures, bridal portraits, and wedding photos make me feel like one. He is so friendly with his clients and you can tell he absolutely loves what he does. My husband and I had a great time working with him. We got to have some classic shots, while also mixing in a few crazy shots that really captured our outgoing personality. Ben has a great gift for finding a way of capturing who you really are in the photos.I am very happy to share any information with anyone about Ben ... I'm so lucky we found him for our wedding.jessicat1206@hotmail.com

I am glad I went with Ben Godkin. I found him to be an exceptional value for the money with the kind of professional quality and creative photography that he provided for us. I would recommend him to any bride or groom who is looking for a photographer for their wedding day.

Ben Godkin is, to say the least, the most personable, responsible, and professional photographer I have ever met. He took the most amazing pictures. We had our engagement pictures, my bridal portraits, and our wedding pictures taken by Ben. WE are so happy with his work. Looking through our pictures brings back the same feelings and happiness we felt. We definitely relive every moment when we look at our pictures. Thank you, Ben!

I could not have had a better wedding photographer! Ben did everything I asked and more. I was able to view my proofs within 2 weeks of the wedding. I would recommend Godkin Photographey to anyone who is getting married.

Ben Godkin was an exceptional photographer. He captured everything we wanted and more. His style of photography is amazing i still can't stop looking at my wedding pictures. The quality of video he took was incredible. My husband said when we first watched it that it was like we were watching an actual movie. I could not have been more pleased with his work. His site is great as well, easy to order prints for yourself or for family and friends to DIY.

Ben and his partner for the day were fantastic! They captured my husband, myself, family and friends in moments that will always bring back vivid memories of our wonderful day! They worked effortlessly with our style and seemed to sincerely enjoy themselves at our wedding. Ben would be perfect for weddings, engagement photos, showers... basically any of your photo needs!

Ben and his team were outstanding! They did a great job capturing key moments and my wedding album is spectacular and everyone I show it to is extremely impressed. I would highly recommend Ben to anyone...Diane and Lawrence Ramos

I cannot praise Ben Godkin enough! His eye for unique shots is incredible. He is charming and delightful to work with. Great personality, beautiful photography, excellent turnaround.... a truly unique individual.

Amazingly talented, charming, wonderful service! Absolutely amazing photographs, unique ideas, and fast turnaround. I could not recommend anyone else I would trust with capturing such an important day. Ben Godkin has my highest recommendation for your wedding photographer.

First off, Ben takes the most beautiful pictures I have ever seen. His skill and personality make him one-of-a-kind. It is quite obvious that he loves his job, because he always has a huge smile on his face when he's taking pictures! Ben was VERY easy to work with and extremely helpful. He was also very flexible when we needed him to stay longer than originally planned. Ben can turn a seemingly normal shot into something extraordinary. His creativity is endless and he strives to make the customer happy. If I had it to do over, I wouldn't change a thing :D

Ben has been out to Red Corral Ranch several times, and the photos he delivers are just spectacular. His images have vibrant color and gorgeous natural lighting, but I think my favorite thing about the images he gets are the wondrous sense of joy and play. I don't know how he works his magic, but it is clear from the images that he is something special. He captures some spectacular private moments without intruding and truly captures the personalities of his subjects. He is a great choice for some special lasting memories.

I have had the good fortune to work with Ben at three weddings. The artistic expression in his work is apparent in every project he pursues. Artistic, professional, and easy to communicate with. I would love to work with Ben again.

Ben, you are awesome and such a great personality. Very easy to get along with and takes great photos!!!

A-Mazing. Ben is so personable and brings a unique perspective to every session. I am proud to have Godkin Photo pictures on our website, our flyers, and multiple other advertising materials. Everytime we see his new work, we are amazed. He can perfect your photos in all aspects of photography that most of us don't even think about. Lighting, contrast, focus, and vision. He has a great eye.
