It's hard to put into words how incredible Ben really is. From our first email inquiry, to the delivery of our photos, Ben was beyond a pleasure to work with. Of all the varying components of our wedding, he was by far the most professional, and was thus the last thing I felt worried about. He was meticulous in his approach to understanding what we wanted, while staying true to his style (which was perfectly aligned). He asked thoughtful questions, and took careful notes about the varying dynamics of the event, and the people attending. He seamlessly integrated with our crazy families and friends, so much so that everyone thought he was a lifelong friend who just happened to be a photographer. His eye for detail, his calming and encouraging energy, and strong sixth sense for knowing exactly where to be became so palpable in the final product. He put everyone at ease, and even got my entire family to smile at the same time (this is a HUGE feat). Of course, everything about a weddin... Read moreg feels important, and it all goes by so fast. Even in the chaos, I remember wishing I had grabbed Ben to photograph specific interactions, only to find later that he was there all along, quietly capturing some of the most precious moments of the day. Going through our album, we laughed, we cried, we were absolutely stunned at things that we would have otherwise missed, remembered some things that already began to fade, and we got to witness how our people really made the day happen in ways we would have never known. Ben has an incredible gift, and he shared it with us as if it were specifically FOR us. For that, we are eternally grateful. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him again and again.

Ben was such a great wedding photographer to choose for our 11/9/19 wedding - he was professional, friendly, warm and just all around an awesome person. From the moment we met him at his studio to review albums and discuss potentially working together, to the day of the wedding, Ben proved himself to be a trusted partner in what would otherwise be an extremely stressful process and day. He made us feel at ease despite the 20 degree weather and the bigness of the day, and his captured amazing moments from the beginning of the day getting ready up through the major dance party at the end. He made everyone feel comfortable and was a master at being there but not-being-there and being in the background. My husband and I would highly recommend Silver + Salt, and I can assure you that you'll be sold the moment you are able to chat with him by phone or in-person. We are super psyched to get our physical wedding album so we can continue reliving the memories over and over!

An amazing photographer!! Very talented.

Ben of Silver and Salt Photography was such an amazing part of our wedding day. We reached out to him after seeing some of his beautiful work on his website and Instagram. He chatted with us on the phone a couple of times before the big day to iron out details and plans. He was friendly, professional, and flexible throughout the entire process. On our wedding day he arrived on time and seamlessly became a part of the preparations. During the ceremony he took beautiful and creative photos that we absolutely love. We had a more casual reception at a local bar, where Ben captured so many great moments between our friends and family. He was always quick to respond to any calls or emails, and we received hundreds of gorgeous photos just a few weeks after our wedding. We would 100% recommend Silver and Salt Photography!

Ben is an absolutely amazing photographer! He was so easy to work with, and captured everything I had hoped he would. His work (photojournalistic and candid) was exactly what I wanted and his results did not disappoint! I have already received so many compliments from family and friends on the photographs. I love that Ben was able to capture special moments, without being intrusive. I would highly recommend Ben, and am already looking for an excuse to work with him again!

My husband and I agreed that a photographer was one of the most important parts of our wedding day, and we were so fortunate to have found Ben. It is clear from his website that he is incredibly talented, but he also has a way of making everyone feel relaxed and comfortable throughout the wedding day and the months leading up to it. We left our first meeting with him feeling like we were friends and so excited about working with him. About a year before the wedding, he picked out some locations around Boston for our engagement shoot and spent way longer than he needed to make sure that we got all the shots we could have wanted. He even managed to get some great photos of our four-month-old puppy! For the wedding, he was an integral part of scheduling the flow of the day and took the time to understand exactly what type of photos were most important to us. On our wedding day there was no rain forecasted for the entire weekend but of course it started pouring ten minutes before our firs... Read moret look was scheduled. Ben kept both of us calm and managed to get all of our family formals in half the allotted time. He then pulled us away from the reception (we had told him that was fine beforehand) as the sun was setting and took some truly beautiful photos - our venue is even using one of them as their homepage. Our family and friends have been so impressed at how seamlessly he fit into the day and how wonderful his images are. We are able to relive the best day over and over again thanks to Ben and we are so grateful. We couldn't recommend him highly enough.

My wife and I used Ben as our wedding photographer. My sister and brother in law used Ben as well - which is how we learned about him and his unbelievable work. I couldn’t recommend him more. He is very professional, very talented and probably one of the nicest people we’ve ever met.

Ben has such a talent for capturing real, genuine moments from completely unexpected angles. That's what immediately drew me in when I first came across his portfolio. He will absolutely get all the obligatory wedding shots - family portraits, decorations, the hanging dress, the preparation - all of that. But what I love the most about his style is his unique perspective and ability to infuse his images with this joyful, even playful, energy. The other really huge thing for me was how professional, organized, patient, and flexible Ben is. My wedding was planned in somewhat of a short timeframe, so a lot of decisions were made last-minute and kind of quickly (at least it felt that way for me!); and Ben was a huge help the whole time. I relied on him to help with our photography timeline a lot, and I also didn't have a wedding planner. So when it came to day-of stuff, I really had to just trust that he knew what he was doing, where he needed to be when, etc. There wasn't ever one snag... Read more - from engagement photos, to welcome dinner, to wedding ceremony, to reception - everything went so smoothly! Ben is very responsive. He's able to be collaborative and is always open to new ideas and suggestions, but when I needed his guidance or wasn't sure about something, he gladly provided his thoughts based on his previous experience and then let me make the final decision, which made it super easy to work with him. Then, lastly, though probably most importantly, Ben is just a great guy - super laid back, easy to get along with, fun, funny, and interesting. I think many of my friends and family each have a "Ben" story from somewhere along the way. But, as mentioned in some of the other reviews, when looking through the photos from our wedding, I would say for more than half of them, I don't even remember Ben being there. He is great at just blending in when he needs to but then also playing "director" at other times. Overall, I love how perfectly Ben captured our wedding, but I actually think I'm happiest about having had the chance to work with him at all! He played a huge part in making our wedding (even the planning process) feel so special, which is something that my husband and I will never forget!

Ben was amazing to work with; we are so thrilled we chose him to photograph our wedding. Not only are his photos incredible and unique, but he made us feel so comfortable during the engagement shoot and wedding. He always lightened the mood when we needed to relax, and floated around the background of the wedding perfectly. I cannot recommend him highly enough!

It's so hard to find the words to describe just how wonderful Ben has been since we signed our contract. He went above and beyond all expectations—and mine were very, very high. His style is dramatic, capturing every detail and moment with an artistic perspective you'd see in an art gallery. He was responsive with inquiries ranging from last-minute scheduling to my body-image concerns. Most importantly, his personality and friendliness made being in front of the camera the easiest part of our day. I cannot possibly recommend Ben enough. Seriously, stop looking for a wedding photographer.

We are so happy that we chose Ben to photograph our wedding. I had been a bridesmaid in a wedding that he photographed a couple years ago and saw the results, so I was already quite confident going in. He was so friendly and calm, which was a very welcome presence throughout the chaos of the wedding day. He was responsive to emails/questions throughout the process, and, most importantly, the photos came out amazing!! I would recommend Ben to anyone in the area.

What can we day about Ben to do him justice? From our very first meeting he understood us as a couple and understood the tone of our wedding. His photojournalistic style is exactly what drew us to his work and seeing the final product we honestly couldn't be happier. We had posed photos in there for our families (which he rocked!), but his candids are out of this world. And he did all this basically without being seen. We had a restaurant wedding so it was crucial for us to work with someone who can photograph indoors without any major landscapes or backgrounds. The details he was able to capture were breathtaking. He's the first recommendation we make when our friends get engaged!

Ben was absolutely the best vendor we had at our wedding (and we had an awesome wedding!) He was immediately calming, incredibly organized, and completely unobtrusive. My wife had an anxious morning of getting ready, but once he arrived he immediately relaxed her, and he helped her push away the anxiety and start enjoying the day with her bridesmaids. After the first few formal photos, I don't think I "saw" him once, but he must have been everywhere at once because the photos and angles he took were beautiful. The photo journalism thing isn't just shtick. He really does capture some incredible moments throughout the day that I didn't even realize were happening. Some of his photos are beautiful works of art, and some photos are captures of amazing moments with friends. He was a pleasure to work with on the run-up to the wedding. He was responsive and friendly, and acted as a time keeper to make sure we didn't over-run our photo taking time. He has a great eye for photo locations. We ... Read moredidn't have to give him any guidance at all. He also didn't require us take any traditional cheesy wedding photos, which I appreciated (unless we asked for them!). We haven't gotten our album printed - but we are so excited to get it. If you're still on the fence about Ben, I promise you will not regret hiring him.

I could not recommend Ben enough. My wife and I firmly believe he was worth every penny. Ben is a genuine and personal person who really cares about his clients and your wedding day. You can see it in his work and hear it when you talk to him. Throughout the process he was immediately responsive with questions we had and gave us advice on the wedding that went beyond the photos. For example he was integral in us creating our timeline for the day. On the day of the wedding he was timely and worked tirelessly throughout the day/night. His outgoing and friendly personality really allowed us to be comfortable throughout the day while we were getting ready and prepping for the wedding. Most of the time I didn't realize he was there and when he was around or wanted us to pose for portraits he had a very calming and easygoing presence. A couple of our guests commented that they could tell we had an amazing photographer because they barely noticed him throughout the day despite the fa... Read morect that he was in the thick of it. The quality of the photos we received was exactly what we were hoping for. He did all the things we asked him to do and beyond. Again, I could not recommend Ben enough.
