Ben Wagner Photography

Award-winning Documentary Wedding Photographer. Candid Wedding Photography that tells your story — the way it really happened. Named one of 2022 Top 150 International Wedding Photographers by the Wedding Photojournalist Association. Documenting your stories in Seattle, Tacoma, the broader Pacific Northwest, and beyond. As a Documentary style photographer, my influence is the legacy of photojournalism, street photography, and reportage. I apply this ethos to my wedding photography to produce authentic and meaningful photographs of your day.

How many weddings have you been to where, after a beautiful ceremony, the couple disappeared for hours, off "doing photos"? The average Bride often gets less than 2 hours of time with family and friends on her wedding day. All the time spent getting ready, the ceremony, trying to rush dinner, and of course the hours of staged photos. Let's get you that time back. I became a documentary wedding photographer because I believe that Weddings are not about the photographer. Weddings are about a dad's tears when he sees his daughter, they're about funny faces on the dance floor, they're about hugs. Wedding are about real shared moments.
