Contact Ben Minnaar

I believe that each wedding is unique and therefore each wedding deserves its own individual story, completely tailored to the couple who will be more in love on this day than any experienced thus far. I love to capture and document this story in a way that is as unobtrusive, natural and honest as possible. I work as discreetly as I can and always have an eye out for that unique, emotion filled moment that can happen at any point.

Where are you located? Do you charge a travel fee for weddings not in your location?

I am located in Cambridge, UK but photograph weddings nationally and internationally. All travel expenses are included within the UK mainland but for weddings in Europe a little extra is added. For weddings further out than that a bespoke package is created but all costs will be kept to a minimum.

How long have you been in business? How many weddings have you photographed as the main photographer?

I have been shooting weddings for 5 years and am happy to have photographed over 150 awesome weddings in that time.

Describe your "style" of wedding photography.

When I started photographing weddings I absolutely loved the documentary or reportage approach as photos felt so much more raw, authentic and natural. I still aim to keep this approach in my current day photography but also add a few creative portraits into the mix by finding and utilising interesting light and composition.

Do you have a studio where we can meet? Do you use Skype?

I love to meet, if it be in the studio or out for a coffee but where distance is excessive i'm more than happy to chat over Skype.
