“Tiff and Mark are so much fun to work with! We had Tiff do our engagement shoot in the dead of winter in the woods and she was totally game. You can tell she really puts her time and effort into editing. She is transparent and communicative. On the wedding day she and Mark made us feel at ease. They quietly captured the natural moments of the day and fit right in with our families. I would definitely work with them again for any event photography. They're organized, timely, and so nice!

Ben Lausch Photography

  • Photojournalistic style
  • Starts at $2,900
  • Serves Sanford, VA

What excites me most as a photographer is finding ways to uniquely capture your story. My goal is to bring out the aspects of you that resonate most-- whether you find that in fun & laughter, or in quiet & stillness. I see myself more as a director than a photographer, always opting for prompts over poses. Through this, I find myself capturing stills that emanate movement and life-- the kind of thing you see in the movies.

“I would recommend Ben to anyone looking for a photographer for their engagement and wedding photos. Ben is absolutely incredible and so talented at what he does! He is kind, patient, and always ready to help out. He makes sure that all of your questions are answered prior to the big day and he asked us so many questions we had not thought about prior to the wedding to provide us with the best photos and help! Taking photos with Ben is so fun and he makes it feel natural, especially if you don't know what to do for the photo, he will help out right away! He really listened to the style of photos we wanted and followed a list of photos we provided when it came time for our family photos. Ben has provided us with the most stunning photos that we will cherish for the rest of our lives and display around our house! Booking Ben for your wedding will be one of the best decisions you make with planning and one you will not regret!”

Hi, Im Dana, a photography studio owner and wedding photographer for 15 years in Berlin, MD. I love working with couples and capturing their special days as they happen.

From our engagement shoot to the wedding, they were easygoing, incredibly professional, and so in tune with our vision. They know the area well and helped us find perfect spots for photos we’ll treasure forever. They made everyone feel comfortable and worked well with children in our wedding party to capture every moment naturally and beautifully. Their ability to keep the timeline flowing without us feeling rushed or behind was amazing. Their responsiveness made planning stress-free. The photos are absolutely stunning.

She brings this knowledge base to every wedding she photographs.

“My name is Jessie Freiert, and when my now husband and I got married in September of 2022, Cherish was our wedding photographer. She not only did our engagement photos, but also the photos for our very special day. She took photos of everything from getting ready, to my Dad seeing me for the first time, to the ceremony, to the first dance, the special dances, and everything in between, she captured every moment of our special day. We are forever grateful to be able to look back and know that we can see the joy and happiness of that day captured in such a simple way.”

I’m Josephine, or Jo for short. I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was about 7 years old. When it came time to choose a college major my dad gave me some great advice: “choose something you love.” So, I chose to study photography and have been living my passion ever since! Capturing authentic, timeless images is my goal. I want you to feel comfortable to be yourself during photoshoots and have your photos reflect your unique personality.

“Jo is a gifted photographer and a true professional. She captured our wedding day perfectly, and all the photos were phenomenal. Every shot held the candid emotion, joy, and love of the day, and our portraits were gorgeous. Jo is also wonderful to work with. She helped me get ready, and when our timeline shifted, she stayed later for us. We appreciated her kind, calm, and positive presence all day. From our initial consultation, where she asked great questions, to receiving our previews so quickly, working with Jo was a pleasure. We highly recommend Jo for your wedding day or any event you want captured beautifully!”

I love a celebration that breaks the status quo of typical wedding traditions.

“If you’re looking for someone to capture your memories in a seriously beautiful way, Christine Tustin is 100% your gal. My husband and I had our wedding last year, and after seeing Christine’s work we had no question we’d ask her to be our photographer. From discussing a contract to receiving our photos, she made the process simple, clear, and stress free, which means eeeverything when planning a wedding! Also, as a bride who had a wedding during COVID-19, I also had anxiety about making sure all our guests felt safe and comfortable. Christine was super flexible, organized, and made sure photos were timely but also thorough, minimizing any stress I had. Christine is not only an artist but she makes you feel like a BOSS. She has a unique way with people, bringing out the best in them through her sense of humor and badass-ness. She’s captured our personalities and relationship PERFECTLY and we feel super blessed to have these memories. Can’t wait to hang them on our photo wall. I could keep on writing/raving FOREVER about her, but will leave it at this. Look no further for an incredible photographer.”

She honestly felt like a friend who just happened to be snapping photos all day, she fit in so naturally and brought the best energy.

Looking through our photos feels like reliving the entire day all over again. The images are timeless, natural, and full of genuine emotion, not overly posed or forced! What stood out most was how attentive and thoughtful they were—not just to us, but to our families and wedding party as well. Multiple guests commented on how kind and personable they were, yet somehow always in the right place at the right time!

“Exceptional Wedding Photography Experience I recently had the pleasure of working with a Ben and his team (shout out Mike!!), Promani Weddings, whose talent and professionalism made our wedding day truly unforgettable. From the moment we met, it was clear that he wasn't just there to take pictures—he was invested in ensuring our special day was captured in the most beautiful and authentic way possible. -Personable and Friendly Approach One of the standout qualities of our photographer was his warm and personable demeanor. He immediately put us at ease, making us feel comfortable and relaxed throughout the entire process. This was especially appreciated during those hectic pre-ceremony moments when nerves were running high. His ability to connect with us and our guests on a personal level created an atmosphere of trust and camaraderie, which translated into natural and genuine photographs. -Unique Candid Photography Technique What truly set our photographer apart was his innovative use of candid photography. Instead of staging every shot, he discreetly captured spontaneous moments that perfectly encapsulated the emotions and relationships of everyone present. This approach resulted in photos that felt alive and authentic, reflecting the true essence of the love and joy we experienced that day. Looking through our wedding album, we were amazed at how he managed to capture moments we didn't even realize were happening, yet are now some of our most cherished memories. If you’re on the fence about doing candid photography for your wedding, this is your sign to DO IT! -Superb Communication and Understanding Throughout the planning process, our photographer was incredibly communicative and attentive. He took the time to understand our vision for the day and worked closely with us to ensure every detail was accounted for. His professionalism and dedication were evident in his proactive approach to logistics and his responsiveness to our questions and concerns. He was not just a hired vendor but a true partner in ensuring our wedding photography exceeded our expectations. -Execution of Vision On the day of the wedding, Ben seamlessly executed the vision we had discussed. His keen eye for detail and mastery of light and composition resulted in stunning images that captured the beauty of the venue, the emotions of our guests, and the intimacy of our ceremony. He balanced capturing the big moments with the subtle nuances that made our day unique, ensuring that every aspect of our celebration was documented with care and artistry. I cannot recommend Ben, Mike and Promani Weddings highly enough. His talent, professionalism, and genuine passion for his craft shone through in every interaction and in every photograph. He not only met but exceeded our expectations, delivering a collection of images that we will treasure for a lifetime. It’s been two weeks since our wedding and we already have our edited photos, highlight reel and full ceremony video. If you're looking for a photographer who will not only capture moments but also enhance your wedding day experience, look no further. Hiring him was one of the best decisions we made, and we are forever grateful for the memories he preserved so beautifully.”

Hey y’all! My name's Gabriella, an experience-focused wedding photographer based in Philadelphia. I love being outside, running with friends, spoiling my dog, crying at rom coms and cooking dinner with my boyfriend. I may or may not be a coffee snob 🫣 But most importantly to you - I LOVE photographing couples in love, and I'm an expert at helping couples feel like themselves in front of the camera during some of the most special & important days of their lives.

“Get ready for a good one. I came to know Gabriella through some trusted mutual friends outside of the wedding industry and knew her for several years before my husband and I even got engaged -- and I knew when we did, she would be our woman. Having been a bridesmaid in other weddings, I knew first hand how a photographer can make or break your day and knew Gabriella would be firmly on the 'make' side. She is diligent, kind, and oh so much FUN. I don't want to give away all her tricks but she will make you feel so special from start to finish. She goes above and beyond to accommodate special situations in families (the good, the bad, and the ugly), not to mention all the impromptu things that come up within the wedding process and on wedding days. One thing I can't recommend enough is her podcast, The Busy Bride. Her intel as someone inside the wedding industry is invaluable and we found quite a few vendors and ideas by taking her insight into consideration. She is now engaged herself and doing a series on her wedding process which I am jealous I didn't get to listen to before our wedding but can't wait to enjoy her journey from the listener end moving forward. What we wanted from a photographer was simply someone who would capture what was genuinely rising to the surface on our day, and Gabriella did just that. My husband was likely the more nervous of the two of us to be emotional in front of others and when the day came, it was not an issue at all. I think this is partially testament to how much he trusted Gabriella. All her photos are easy breezy beautiful once they arrive in your inbox (always on time) and you will never get tired of looking at them and feeling just how you felt when they were taken. ALSO! She doesn't advertise this much but your girl does boudoir shoots! Also an amazing experience and a great wedding gift for your honey ;) Amazing experience there, too. LOVED Gabriella and hope to use her again for future milestones :')”
