About Ben Straily Photography
Ben Straily Photography
Hey there, I'm Ben! I believe photography is not just about clicking the shutter at the right moment. It's about capturing the essence of a moment, the emotion, the feeling, and the story behind it. My style is all about telling stories of love, laughter, tears, joy, and all the beautiful chaos in between. Just like your wedding day, every photo shoot is a unique, amazing, and important experience. That's why I pour my heart and soul into creating and capturing the special moments that make each photo shoot memorable. I'm not just taking pictures, I'm crafting narratives. We're not just making photos, we're making memories.
My couples choose me because of my relaxed and fun approach to a wedding day. I believe that coupes should have a wedding for the wedding experience and not an 8 hour photo shoot. When taking photos, I make you and your partner the focus to take the pressure off allowing it to be a fun experience for everyone. I strive to capture the emotion and feel of the day without being a nuisance. I want you to live your day and let me make it look beautiful.

Highly recommend!
Ben was amazing! He had ideas, let us do some shots we wanted to do and was super professional and punctual! Highly recommend as we are obsessed with our photos!
15/10 experience!
We had a wonderful experience with Ben as our photographer! The day started out very stormy & rainy & it was a little chaotic with getting the wedding party from place to place but Ben did an awesome job getting great shots during the rain storm before the ceremony. After the rain cleared up, we were also able to get beautiful shots in the courtyard, all our family photos, & even sunset photos with some time to hang out with our guests during cocktail hour! Throughout the whole reception Ben & the photographers were awesome with all of our guests & with us! Ben asked us if it would be ok to pull us away for some quick rain photos & he ended up getting the most amazing shot ever (had to upload a compressed version)! Overall would 50000% recommended anyone to book Ben for their wedding (or any event) photography!
10/10 - Highly Recommend!!
I don’t even know where to begin with how grateful I am for Ben. From the moment we started working together, he brought such warmth, patience, and kindness to the experience. He wasn’t just professional—he was calming, grounding, and genuinely supportive during moments when I felt overwhelmed or stressed. There’s something truly special about someone who can quiet your nerves with just a few words and guide you through the process with such ease. He made me feel seen, comfortable, and confident, and that meant more to me than he probably realizes. And the photos? They are beyond anything I could have hoped for. He didn’t just capture images; he captured emotion, connection, and memories I’ll cherish forever. If you’re searching for someone who has both extraordinary talent and an extraordinary heart, Ben is the one. I cannot recommend him enough.
Highly Recommend!
We had the pleasure of working with Ben Straily Photography for both our engagement and wedding photos and videos, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. Ben was a true professional from start to finish—offering clear, helpful instructions for poses, bringing a creative and artistic eye to every shot, and demonstrating an impressive level of expertise. He truly captured the essence of our special day in a way we’ll cherish forever. Both the photos and video exceeded our expectations, and Ben was very accommodating in making specific edits we requested. His flexibility and attention to detail really set him apart. We’re absolutely thrilled with how everything turned out and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a talented photographer and videographer.
