Ben Lausch Photography 
Rating: 5.0 (8 reviews)
  • 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.

“Everyone I know has been asking me who my photographer was for my wedding! His work speaks for itself! But I’d like to add that my experience working with Ben was just as amazing as his photos! From the start Ben was quick to reply, confident, caring and skilled. Ben helped make my pinterest board come to life and I couldn’t be happier! He was organized, easy to get in contact with and happy to help; that is everything a bride needs while planning a wedding! On wedding day when my coordinator moved timelines around and things did not go as planned, Ben adapted calmly and efficiently. I never had to worry that any photos would be missed. He managed to work around a changing schedule and remained confident and professional. I couldn’t be happier with my experience and the results! These are photos that will last a lifetime! We are beyond impressed and especially glad we book with him!”

I love what I do! I took my first photography class as a freshman in college and I never looked at the world the same way again. With a lifetime of experience, and a dedication to my art, my goal, whether shooting a wedding, family portrait or in the street, is to capture the special moments that evoke emotion and make memories as real as the day they happened. I would be honored to make those memories yours.

The photos were incredible and I couldn’t have been happier. Our children all have spouses and his couple photos were absolutely beautiful.

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.”

Mid-atlantic + Eastern Shore documentary style wedding and elopement photographer. Here for the rock-n-rollers, the-down-to-earth, the bring-the-funk-crew, the stay-at-home-with-my-cat kinda people.

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.”

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.

“Working with Jo last August was absolutely great! As a coordinator, having someone on the vendor team who is flexible and calm is super important. She handled the rowdy guests with a calm and patient demeanor, was a team-player as things changed, and open to suggestions and questions from me. And the photos are fantastic, of course!”

Hi! My name is Leigh (pronounced Lee). I'm a nurse-turned-photographer who loves to see new places, chase around my toddler and sip a crisp diet dr. pepper. Most importantly I am someone who cares immensely about the experience my couples have with me from the second they get in touch.

“Leigh not only delivered the most perfect, dreamy photos of our wedding day, but she was also an absolute joy to work with every step of the way. From planning to communication to the big day, everything felt so easy. 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. Even three months later, she still checks in and gets just as excited about our photos and our day as if it just happened. If I could recommend Leigh a million times, I would without hesitation. Anyone would be beyond lucky to have her by their side on such a special day”

“Once Like a Spark Wedding Co. was a fantastic choice for our wedding photography and DJ. I had first reached out to Darcy before I had even booked a venue - I just loved the editing style of the photos. Our lead Denida and and second shooter Will were friendly, communicative, and incredibly helpful throughout the entire wedding day. They kept us on schedule, if not ahead of it, and Denida even showed us some incredible photos as she was taking them. Will captured great shots of the groom and groomsmen, and also provided excellent second angles. I am so thankful we got to work with them. We also bundled our photography with the DJ, who was also wonderful - DJ Floyd kept the energy up all night, mixed the music perfectly, and checked in to make sure everything was going well. With OLAS, we were able to capture so many great memories and beautiful photos that we'll cherish forever.”

“We had such a great experience with Enchanted Celebrations for our wedding! From the beginning, Summer was wonderful to work with. She was very responsive, helpful, and always quick to answer our questions throughout the planning process. Our photographer, Ash, was amazing. He was extremely professional, attentive, and so easy to work with. You can really see how devoted and passionate he is about his work and how much he cares about getting the perfect shots. He had great ideas throughout the day and made us feel completely taken care of. Even some of our friends noticed how great he was and commented on it afterward. Our videographer, Randolph, was also amazing. His enthusiasm and positive energy made us feel so comfortable and confident in front of the camera. He was very attentive throughout the day, and we could tell he genuinely cared about capturing all the important moments. The only thing I would recommend to future couples is that if you choose a specific photographer from their portfolio, ask Enchanted Celebrations to confirm that person’s availability before making your payment. We selected a photographer when we booked about eight months before our wedding, but around two weeks after booking, we were told that photographer wasn’t available. Their contract does state that if your selected photographer isn’t available, they can assign another photographer from those available, but I would have appreciated having the availability confirmed before we booked and paid. That being said, we ended up being extremely happy with Ash and Randolph. They were both wonderful to work with and made us feel like we were in great hands on such an important day. We can’t wait to see everything they captured. Thank you to the entire Enchanted Celebrations team! Her are pictures taken from Ash the photographer for the engagement shoot !”

But even more than her amazing photography was how wonderful she is to work with! From our first Zoom call, she was immediately just so much fun to talk to. Something to think about: Your photographer follows you around your entire wedding day, so you need someone you feel comfortable with! Megan immediately put us at ease. We had a blast with her on the engagement photoshoot (we went to waterfall at sunrise!) and we had a blast planning out all our wedding shots with her. At the wedding itself, her team was so professional and endlessly kind. They never made the wedding feel awkward or had to "stop the action" for a shot. She delivered an AMAZING gallery for us in a timely manner with the most beautiful photos we've ever had taken in our lives. She captured all the special moments and managed all our family dynamics.

I'm a photographer, mom, wife, snowboarder, roller coaster enthusiast, former math teacher, and former mechanical engineer. I love learning, which eventually led me to earn my Ph.D. (but please don't call me Dr. Kizuka!). I'm fueled by chai tea, rarely seen without a beanie or headband, and known to make questionable facial expressions while concentrating behind the camera. Most days you'll find me climbing, crouching, or occasionally standing in a creek to capture the perfect shot - though I do clean up nicely for wedding days!

If you go the other route—book first, learn about the style later—you may end up with photos that don’t match your vision. We came to Carrie after our first photographer disappointed us. She has more of a documentary style with less of an emphasis on the awkwardly posed photos. However, she will still go the extra effort to get an amazing poses shot if you ask. She has such a laid back and positive attitude. I recommend Carrie to anyone looking for beautiful images and a wedding day that doesn’t feel like a photoshoot. She’s a true professional.”

“My husband and I worked with Paul for both our engagement session and wedding. Knowing nothing about CIP, we decided to work with them due to the affordability of their wedding packages and ample portfolio photos. It was important to us that we found someone who could capture both the sappiness and the goofiness of our relationship, and Paul nailed it. Not only was he personable and entertaining, he also knew exactly what he was doing. He asked us the right questions prior to the big day and made sure we knew what to expect, and he slid very easily into the role of MC, which made the event run so much smoother. Not only that, but the turnaround time for photos was FAST, which was definitely a pleasant surprise! I have nothing but praise for Paul and the CIP team and am so thankful we got the pleasure of working with them.”

Hey, hey my name is Ali. NY-based, but working nation-wide, I'm a wedding photographer who captures experiences, genuine love, authentic characters, and immortalizes precious memories. I focus on visualizing how it felt to live your wedding day, while also crafting editorializations simply for the sake of intentional, living art. I am adamant that everyone, of all genders and orientations, any ethnicity, culture, or faith, all shapes, ages, and abilities, are welcome and I’d be delighted to work with you.

“Hiring Ali was the best decision we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she felt like a helpful friend who was there to guide us through the planning and execution of our big day(s). She was a calm and supportive presence during our wedding weekend who made herself known when we needed her, but otherwise felt like a guest with a nice camera. Of course the photos look exceptional, but what stands out to us is her artistic eye and her excitement about her craft. She went absolutely above and beyond for us in so many ways and my family and I are forever grateful!”

“Thanks to everyone at The Pros Wedding for the smooth process and outstanding service! We worked with consultant Renee Catalano, who was responsive and such a delight to work with. Despite our busy work schedules, she accommodated us and found a meeting time that suited us best. She addressed all our questions thoroughly. We appreciate her input and the time she took to work with us. DJ Lou N., thank you once again for an incredible party! He kept everyone dancing all night, and many guests mentioned it was one of the most fun weddings they've attended. His song choices were spot on. Videographer Neil T., thank you for capturing one of the most memorable days of our lives. Neil was attentive and a joy to work with. Throughout the time we booked Neil, he was consistently busy and diligent in capturing every moment. We sincerely appreciate your hard work! Photographers Marcus P. and Ron C. captured our special day perfectly, and we are incredibly grateful. The photos turned out stunning! Both were attentive, easy to work with, and their skill is clear in every shot. We sincerely thank them! Thanks to Monica and William for managing the photobooth, which was a highlight of the evening! It was a favorite among our guests and was in use throughout the night. It is amazing that the photos are available online for all our guests to view. What a fantastic way to include our family and friends, allowing them to see not only the pictures they took but also all the special moments leading up to the celebration. I highly recommend using The Pros Wedding Service! Thank you all again.”

“Just… wow… our photos far exceeded expectations, and I know our video will too. Aimee and Mike were so accommodating and fun to be around. They kept us calm and had a great energy all night. And the photos… THE PHOTOS! I can’t believe how good they are and how fast she got us our sneak peak (of 300 photos). If you don’t hire them, you are doing yourself a disservice!!!!”
