Favorite Moment During a Wedding: I love the beginning of the day and the reception. I feel as though this is when everyone’s true personalities come out. Things are not as stiff and formal and everyone is being their true self; their guard is down and they are just living their best day.
Favorite Vermont Activity: In the winter I love to snowboard and my main mountains are Sugarbush and Jay. In the fall and summer I enjoy getting out on my bike and exploring the swimming holes with my wife and kids.

Love Notes

We couldn’t have asked for a better photographer than Ben Hudson. His candid, documentary-style approach was exactly what we wanted! He captured every meaningful moment in such a natural, unobtrusive way that we often forgot he was even there. Ben made sure we got all of the posed and formal portraits we requested, moving through them efficiently so we could enjoy the day without feeling like we were stuck in front of a camera.
The photos turned out absolutely stunning! We received a preview within the week and our full gallery on time when Ben estimated we would receive it, all beautifully edited and full of emotion. Ben was open to every idea we had, even our last-minute requests or changes, and helped bring our vision to life better than we imagined. Having authentic photos of the day was incredibly important to us, but we didn’t want to spend hours posing, and Ben struck the perfect balance. We’re so grateful we chose him and will cherish these images forever!

We couldn’t have loved working with Ben any more. He photographed our wedding, and we are SO HAPPY we found him! Choosing a photographer felt like a difficult, high pressure decision, but as soon as we chatted with Ben, we knew he was the one. Many people marveled over his great energy at our wedding and afterword, how he got so many shots where we didn’t know he was there. He was so easy to work with from the beginning whilst being so thorough and helpful in the planning process. He has such an eye and found so many backdrops for our shoots that I never expected. He also created some really unique shots using creative techniques that were masterful. He felt like a friend throughout our whole wedding, and it was so fun to share moments with him; we never wanted him to leave! He has been completely available since the photos came out to assist us with further editing, printing, etc. He is a gem of a human and a phenomenal photographer!

I shouldn’t really need to say more other than to take a look at Ben’s instagram page. He was able to maximize the beauty of our VT venue to achieve some truly unbelievable photos of our engagement and wedding. Also managed to perfectly capture some really special candid moments of us and guests. Professional, friendly, and accommodating, couldn’t recommend more.

Ben is an amazing photographer! Ben was responsive, kind, friendly and his talent is out of this world. We have been told by multiple people our engagement photos are the best they have ever seen – and our wedding photos look like they are straight out of a magazine. On our wedding day, Ben was helpful and supportive – documenting our day in an authentic, creative way. During the planning process, he was able to offer ideas and support. Our family and friends keep asking to see the photos from our wedding, and they are just as impressed as we are. We recommend Ben to everyone that we can. Hiring Ben was one of the best decisions we made – don’t hesitate, ask him to be a part of your special day! We are so lucky to have worked with him.

Picking Ben as our wedding photographer for our Vermont celebration was absolutely the best decision! His professionalism and passion were evident from the start, ensuring an exceptional experience from planning to the final photo delivery. Ben has an incredible talent for capturing not just for the big moments but also the small, intimate details that made our day uniquely special. His artful play with light and shadows against Vermont’s stunning backdrop resulted in a timeless collection that beautifully immortalized our special day. From candid shots to tender moments with family and friends, every photo feels like a cherished memory.
What sets Ben apart is not just his skill but also his dedication to making our day extraordinary. His seamless coordination with other vendors showcased their commitment to delivering unparalleled service. If you’re seeking a photographer who effortlessly blends into the background, captures raw emotions, and turns each frame into a work of art, look no further than Ben. He transformed our special day into a collection of memories that will be cherished for a lifetime.

Ben was the best choice we made during our wedding planning process. If he’s available for your date, book him immediately, you’ll be so glad you did.
Many things drew us to Ben’s work. We loved his documentary style, his ability to capture emotions and feelings so vividly, and his keen eye for capturing the small non-scripted moments throughout the day. All of these things came true, but we got so much more than that from working with him. Ben was a partner in helping us plan our wedding, helping us source other vendors (all of whom were incredible), figure out timelines, and just being a friend as we went through the process. Ben helped keep us calm and grounded through the chaos of wedding planning.
We were lucky enough to get to work with Ben for our proposal, engagement, and wedding photos. Every single time his photos left us speechless. He was able to capture our love and also our personalities and quirks in ways that felt so true to us. As two people who feel very awkward in front of the camera, Ben photographed us in ways that made us feel beautiful, seen, and authentically ourselves. And not just us! When we shared our wedding album with guests everyone raved about how amazingly Ben captured them and how excited they were to get prints.
Ben is an incredibly talented photographer and even better person. There’s no one better to work with.

We would & do recommend Ben every single time someone is looking for a wedding, event or family session photographer. We were so confident in his art, we’ve been recommending Ben for weeks, and had not even seen our finished album. We would a million times, over and over pick him again.
We are absolutely thrilled with our engagement session & our wedding day celebration photographs. From the moment we connected with Ben, he was responsive, had amazing ideas, was flexible, and honest with us on our time frame of the day.
On the day of our wedding his poise, professionalism, and his genuine kind soul made it so easy for him to just blend in with the fam, chatting away as he did his thing. Our families absolutely adored him. His calm & steady presence helped make the day flow seamlessly with zero stress or worry.
He captured our day beautifully from start to finish and we are so grateful to have exceptional photos to look back on for years to come. He has sequenced them wonderfully.
And then there is his eye for those dramatic wide framed, elegant, intimate, and playful photographs that are artistic, stunning, and one of a kind…these are what immediately had us drawn to Ben’s work; it’s pure magic. Those shots will have us swooning for the rest of our lives, and we cannot wait to choose our favorite and hang them on our walls to be displayed & enjoyed every single day. He captured our love enchantingly.
Don’t even second guess it, go with Ben!
You will not regret it!

Ben Hudson was the best wedding photographer we could have asked for. He’s a great communicator and helped us plan our wedding photo shot list and timeline in advance so when the wedding day arrived there was no stress! Most importantly, Ben has a very calm and reassuring presence which helped to keep us grounded throughout the day. We had rain for a large part of the afternoon and Ben quickly helped us problem solve and then found perfect times in the evening to take outdoor photos when the rain let up. He is a true artist – we initially chose him for his photography style and he exceeded our expectations. When we got our first set of photos from Ben a few days after the wedding they brought us right back into the moments from the wedding day and brought back all of the happiness from the day too. He even made some extra touch ups at our request! We would recommend him to anyone and are so grateful for our experience!

We cannot recommend Ben highly enough. He is very personable and easy to work with, ensuring that our needs were met at every step of the process. Not to mention, his photographs are stunning!
We booked Ben about six months in advance of our wedding date and we met with him over beers for about an hour in order to get a sense of our vision for the wedding and to see how we interacted as a couple. During the planning process, Ben checked in with us every so often and always made himself available to chat via email or phone with any questions we had.
On the day of the wedding, Ben was very respectful of our time. He had a perfect spot picked out for our first look and was able to finish our formal photos well before the ceremony began. Ben took amazing photographs during the ceremony, and took plenty of great candid shots to capture the essence of our wedding.
The turnaround for the finished photos was very quick. In addition to the gallery of photos on his website, we also received digital copies of all the photos he took. We couldn’t be happier with the finished products – they look beautiful! He captured our wedding day perfectly!

Ben is a very talented and personable photographer who knows how to capture all the emotions of a wedding in absolutely stunning photos. He has a great eye, is very personable, and he felt like family during our whole wedding experience. I would highly highly recommend Ben. He was easy to talk to, always available and quick to respond to any questions I had, and was very organized throughout the entire wedding planning and executing process. Thank you Ben for our wedding photos that truly captured our amazing special day!
