We pride ourselves on taking unique photographs that capture a precious moment, record a significant memory or enhance a product or business.
My husband and I chose Ben as our wedding photographer following a recommendation from our venue, and he was the most brilliant and talented photographer to add to the wedding party!! In the months leading up to the wedding Ben was so easy to approach and communicate with, putting us at ease and answering all the questions we had. On the day, Ben really did feel like one of the guests. He was so unobtrusive and blended in seamlessly. His bubbly personality was infectious and he made everyone feel so comfortable! We absolutely loved Ben’s style of capturing natural moments with very few staged photographs, and he didn’t disappoint. The photos he took were absolutely stunning and really captured the essence of the day. He also consciously didn’t take us from the party for longer than 5 minutes at a time so we didn’t miss any moments with our guests. He really was fantastic and I couldn’t recommend him highly enough to any future couples!
See More TestimonialsBen put us at ease from the moment we met him. Neither myself nor my husband enjoy having our photo being taken and Ben managed to capture some wonderful moments. So many guests commented on how well he blended in to the background allowing everyone to remain relaxed, resulting in the fantastic pictures he produced! Thank you so much.
See More TestimonialsHaving known Ben through work for 8+ years there is no-one else I could have imagined photographing our wedding. He has a natural flair to make you feel at ease and get the best shots. We are so delighted with our photos - thanks so much Ben. I would 100% recommend Ben - loved every minute of our special day and you made it even more so special.
See More TestimonialsBen was incredible throughout our wedding day in June, which happened to be the hottest day of the year at that time! Everybody who attended our wedding mentioned that Ben was such a fantastic character to have around and excellent in capturing all of the special moments of the day. My wife and I cannot recommend Ben enough!
See More TestimonialsHaving met Ben at a friends wedding a year before we knew we were in good hands. Ben was professional from start to finish but with a warm friendly approach. On the day he made us and our guests feel at ease and most of the time we didn’t even know he was there. The photos he has produced are amazing especially the ones that he managed to catch without us knowing. We would certainly recommend him to anyone. Thank you so much for giving so many brilliant memories to keep.

See More TestimonialsBen was the perfect photographer for so many reasons – he knew our venue like the back of his hand (Tewkesbury Park Hotel) and we liked him instantly. The communication beforehand was excellent, so he was very well-acquainted with the structure of our day, and what we wanted from the photos. That said, Ben also knew exactly how to go with the flow, prioritising our day and anticipating our needs over the “schedule” where he could – he helped us to take in the big moments and enjoy ourselves. He was warm and funny, but also knew exactly when to take charge to make sure we got what we wanted out of the photos, and that is something we deeply appreciated.
Once he left, we felt like one of our guests had left! Not only that, but we received a gorgeous memory stick in the post with all our stunning photos within a week of our wedding, before we went away for our honeymoon – so much quicker than we expected, and we all absolutely LOVED them. Ben really has a knack for capturing the best moments, we loved all the candid photos – would 100% recommend him.

Ben Roberts was our wedding photographer and we couldn't recommend him highly enough. He was super friendly and down to earth and didn't make us feel awkward being the centre of attention. He captured the whole day perfectly while also being unobtrusive and we will treasure the photos for a lifetime. Honestly - go for Ben as your wedding photographer and you won't be disappointed!
Having undertaken a rebrand of our membership magazines, photography became a really important factor with getting the right feel and look moving forwards. Ben has worked with our new style to bring life to our cover stars, drawing out their personalities and individualism. Some of our cover stars have never had a photoshoot like this before and Ben worked really well with them to make them feel comfortable and get the best out of them. We’ve been really pleased with the photographs and hear nothing but positive comments from our readers.
We have also used Ben to take photographs at key events this year, including our National Conference & Awards and our Official Office Opening. Both of these events needed someone we could rely on to deliver excellent photos that get the overall feel and energy of the event. Ben is great at capturing key moments and because he’s well-rehearsed in this we don’t need to worry about the photos as we know he will have captured everything we needed him to.
See More TestimonialsWe used Ben for our wedding and we would highly recommend him to anyone. He is an amazing photographer and also has a lovely, calming, friendly and professional approach. Ben worked non stop throughout the day and constantly had a smile on his face. We received so many positive comments from our guests regarding how amazing Ben is! Thanks again Ben for being a part of our special day, John and Jess x

Ben stepped in for us at the last minute as our photographer had to isolate and it was like it was meant to be. He was friendly, professional and worked tirelessly on one of the hottest days of the year. He managed to capture images that really felt like us, the spirit of the wedding, of our friendships and our relationship all in single images. We would without doubt recommend Ben, our guests commented on how hard he worked and he never complained despite the rest of us melting, needing a sit down and a cold drink to make it through. Thank you again Ben! Gemma and Darren x
See More TestimonialsBen fit in with our style and feel of our wedding which was festival themed. The whole day including the ceremony was outdoors in Devon and Ben really captured the beauty of the landscape (I also think he brought the weather as it was a terrible summer but a hot sunny day on the big day). The pictures he took of guests were really natural and caught them with smiles on their faces. We got to enjoy our day all over again when we looked at the pics. Thanks so much Ben, we can't recommend you highly enough.
See More TestimonialsWe had Ben as our wedding photographer and could not have asked for a better person to capture our special day. Ben was great to deal with, he was there without being there and took amazing photos throughout the day. We can't thank him enough. A lovely guy too and we would 100% recommend!
See More TestimonialsWe chose Ben after seeing one of his albums at Hyde Barn. We were not disappointed. Ben is really approachable and really listened to what sort of photos we wanted on the big day. Ben was amazing on the day as he really puts you at ease. He wasn't obstructive or intrusive. A lot of the time you didn't know he was there! We had a bit of a challenge with the weather but this did not stop him from getting fabulous shots. We LOVE the photos. Thank you so much xxxx
See More TestimonialsI cannot recommend Ben & his services highly enough. As a business we use Ben on a regular basis for corporate head shots and photographing company events. Ben is always extremely professional, easy to work with and always returns the results we desire. His photographs are always to the brief, of high quality and he always turns them around quickly meaning we never have to wait for the photos to come back to us. Working with Ben is an absolute pleasure.

See More TestimonialsFrom the very first day that we met Ben, we knew he would be the photographer for us! He immediately made us feel comfortable and relaxed which was really important to us as neither of us usually enjoy having our photo taken. Throughout our entire wedding day, Ben was just fantastic. He was so accommodating and couldn’t do enough for us. He was such a bundle of energy and fun, he actually felt like one of our guests by the end of the day! Many of our guests have since commented on how brilliant he was which is a real testament to the impact that he had on our day. Ben went above and beyond to make our wedding photos amazing and he did not disappoint. We are in love with every single photo and will cherish them for the rest of our lives. His communication throughout the process (especially considering we had to move our date due to covid!) was impeccable and we always knew that we could email him with any questions that we had. Thank you for being such a huge part of our special day Ben, we will be forever grateful.
See More TestimonialsOur wedding day was captured beautifully by Ben, who blew us away with the photos he produced for our day.
On the day he interacted brilliantly with guests, and was great with the many children and babies on the day - he can get a smile from anyone! He moved around our wedding day with a quiet professionalism and captured some unbelievable moments, which we will cherish forever.

See More TestimonialsI genuinely don’t even know where to begin - Ben is honestly amazing! We couldn’t have wished for a better photographer. Ben was unreal from start to finish, so professional and fun to have around on the day. He captured so many natural moments and it’s unbelievable how he manages to get so many fantastic shots on his own. All of our guests have commented on how brilliant he was on the day and put everyone, especially us, at ease. The photos tell the story of our day from start to finish. Ben, we couldn’t be happier with the photos, they’re everything we wanted and more... thank you so, so much! X
See More TestimonialsI can't recommend Ben highly enough! He photographed our wedding in Burford (after a few date changes) and I am so so happy with every single photo - I can't stop looking at them. Ben was always so lovely and positive over email during all the changes and went above and beyond during the day to get great pictures. He was also just generally a delight to have at our wedding and so many guests have mentioned how fab he was.
Thank you so much once again, Ben!! :D
We first met Ben 7 years ago when we were looking for someone to take some natural photographs of our daughter as we are not big fans of posed studio pictures. Ben did a fantastic job and got such beautiful pictures amongst the trees also making it really fun.
Now that we have 3 little girls we just had our third shoot with Ben and it was fantastic!! Ben is SO good with little ones, he puts them at ease immediately and makes them giggle, resulting in really great, unstaged shots.
We will treasure our photos for years to come, thank you Ben x
See More TestimonialsBen totally delivers. We called on Ben to photograph the new members of our new team and the results were perfect. He is completely down to earth and put everyone at ease, which made for a relaxed, creative and inspiring shoot. We have also used Ben for live event photography and both our client and the team were very pleased with the results. We highly recommend.
See More Testimonials‘Your photographer was absolutely brilliant’ said pretty much all my wedding guests.
Ben, you really were amazing and we can’t thank you enough. You were also so much more, keeping us in check with timing to help make the day run smoothly.
The biggest thanks to you and the highest recommendation we can give.

See More TestimonialsHaving found Blooming Photography through an internet search, for my parents 50th wedding anniversary, I was a bit apprehensive about what to expect. However I can honestly say it was a pleasure working with you throughout the whole process from initial enquiry to receiving the final prints. Ben was easy going and professional and knew exactly what to do to get the best out of us to take fabulous, natural photographs. My parents were thrilled to bits with the final results. I'd have no hesitation in recommending Blooming Photography to anyone. Thank you Ben
See More TestimonialsWe spent the evening looking through all our wedding pictures that you captured and we absolutely love them. The naturally shots you got of all our family and friends are just beautiful and captured the joy of the day so perfectly.
Thank you so much, you are amazing at what you do!

See More TestimonialsWe've just finished seeing our photos. I honestly don't know what to say Ben, words can't describe how perfectly you have captured the day. Going through our wedding photos was like re living the day all over again, sharing every emotion that you expertly caught.
We are so grateful that you were our photographer. The photos were the last piece to a perfect wedding and honeymoon so alot was riding on it and man did you deliver!!
You nailed the brief!
Ben, my wife and I thank you from the bottom of our hearts x
OMG, where do we start?! Ben is a legend, a fantastic photographer, a gentleman, a true professional and a great laugh.
We had the joy of Ben as our wedding photographer and he really put us at ease from the moment he arrived at our venue. The real skill he has is knowing every place and time to get the best shot. He even had a few tips to keep us calm through the day. We really can't recommend him highly enough!
Ben became a central part of the day, and we had great fun taking photos not least during the stunning sunset we had. Thank you :-)
What can we say about Ben? He was truly the bright, fun, high energy person that we needed on our very rainy wedding day to lift our spirits and keep us relaxed and positive! When planning my wedding I just knew he was the one I wanted to photograph my big day after being so impressed by the photos he presented to my sister on her big day 9 years ago! Stunning, and natural. As expected, we are so over the moon with our photographs, I was a bit sceptical before receiving them as our wedding was such a wash out with rain and high winds, but you honestly wouldn’t know seeing the photos! Thank you Ben, from the bottom of our hearts for being so positive and cheerful on the day, for making us feel so at ease and making sure we were okay throughout the day. Georgia and Steve
See More TestimonialsIf your thinking of booking Ben for your wedding, definitely do it, you won’t be disappointed! Just perfect
We met Ben at a wedding Fayre and loved his energy and passion straight away. His relaxed, personal approach was just what we were looking for so without hesitation we booked him for our big day. Ben kept in touch with us and met up with us prior to the wedding to make sure everything went to plan. He listened intently to what we wanted and understood the family dynamics. On the day Ben was fab! He managed the busy bridal party on the morning of the wedding so well and was the best support to me when I had a melt down as we were running late! I can’t thank him enough for this. After the ceremony he organised all the guests for pictures calmly and but within the timeframe given by the caterers. We had so many people comment on how lovely and approached he was. The final pictures arrived quickly and we could not have been happier! There was a range of different pictures which all captured the day perfectly! Lots of happy, smiley people. I have and would recommend Ben to people over and over again. The most perfect pictures that we will cherish as a family forever.

See More TestimonialsWe booked Ben as our wedding photographer and couldn't have been happier that we did. From the first meeting he was friendly and professional, he was quick to respond to emails and happy to answer any questions. We postponed our wedding three times because of Covid-19 and he was amazing at responding quickly to our date changes and was supportive throughout. On the day itself he couldn't have been more incredible. He gave us the timings for the day, talked through what we should expect and even helped me with my dress. He was also so supportive and kept me calm when I started feeling nervous about the big walk down the aisle! The photos we got were beautiful, we honestly couldn't have been happier with them. Ben is so good at capturing the moment; the laughter and happiness of such an amazing day. Plus we didn't have to wait too long to get them. In conversations with friends and family after the big day Ben was always mentioned, everyone loved him and were impressed by him. We were so glad we booked him and would recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer.
See More TestimonialsMy wife and I picked Ben as our wedding photographer and opted to do an engagement shoot with him before the big day to meet and get to know him.
We loved his photography style and all of his photos have come out amazing, and he is such a wonderfully happy person to have around you, he has a profound ability to make you laugh and put your nerves at ease, he really added to the atmosphere of the whole day and we would reccomended him to anyone.
If we could give Ben 6 stars we would!
Absolutely amazing wedding photographer! Professional and totally blended in with wedding guests! The photos that Ben managed to capture completely sum up the fun and beauty of the day- He’s a very clever man. If you’re hesitating booking him, rest assured, you won’t regret having him there on your big day. It’s the best money we spent! Ben went way and beyond to ensure that he got the shots that we had requested and his sense of humour and good nature made light of some of the more stressful parts of the day. Ben was a wonderful pleasure to have around.
See More TestimonialsBen was absolutely amazing on our day! I couldn’t recommend him enough! Ben was very calming but also very fun! He got all of the shots we wanted and loads more! All of our guests loved him as much as we did! If your thinking of booking Ben for your wedding, definitely do it, you won’t be disappointed!
See More TestimonialsBen, thank you so much for your fantastic work on our wedding day. We love the photos and are so glad we picked you to capture the day. Your experience and skill were clearly evident both on the day and in our photos. You were considered in your approach, thoughtful and creative in your composition and use of light, and a calming influence on us both. We hope many other couples get to benefit from your work in future. Best wishes, Helen & Russ
See More TestimonialsBen did the photography for my sister's wedding and i can honestly say that he was a lovely addition to the day. Charming and funny, he managed to be everywhere at once without ever being in the way, and from the sneak peak I have just seen he captured some absolutely stunning pictures of my sister and her new husband looking very natural and happy, along with some awesome group shots. Having so much experience of shooting weddings means Ben is actually a huge help on the day... he actually reminded me when it was time to help her put her dress on in the chaos of everyone getting made up and ready in the morning! Ben worked extremely hard from a very early start to pretty late in the day, and I would not hesitate for a second to recommend him to anyone for their wedding day photography. Absolute top marks for a top photographer... thank you Ben!!
See More TestimonialsBen had been the photographer for two of our friends for their weddings and we had seen the quality of his work so we booked him.
Ben is more than a professional photographer, he’s a friend on the day. He really understands if you’re feeling nervous etc and keeps you on track with timings for the day. He talks you through what’s going to happen next so you can move through the day confidently. He is very lively and upbeat, he knows how to get the best photos of people and likes to take natural shots with a few staged pictures.
All of our guests were commenting on how friendly and lovely Ben was.
Thank you so much Ben for all your work and help on our day! We would 100% recommend him and if you’re unsure, book him, he is worth every penny.
See More TestimonialsThank you so much for all your help on our wedding day. Having you as our photographer was one of the best decisions we made. We had so many lovely comments from our guests about how great you are are. The photos are amazing. You thought about everything on the day before me and helped make my day perfect. Lots of love Beck and Grant xxx
See More TestimonialsBen! Just wanted to send you a quick message to say a HUGE thank you for all that you did for us on our wedding day. I can truly say from the bottom of our hearts that you helped to make it the best day ever. And for sure you kept me calm throughout the build up to the ceremony - we can't thank you enough! xxx
See More TestimonialsI wish I could give more than 5 stars, Ben made our engagement proposal such a special day. Ben was patient with me as I planned each part, making it very easy for me. His interactions on the day with me and my partner were so kind and considerate. The photos and video of the special moment bring joy to my heart and I couldn’t recommend Ben enough, we hope we can arrange for him to do our photography on our special day.
See More TestimonialsA 1 million % recommendation. From the moment we met Ben at our first consultation, we knew that Ben was the photographer for us for our big day. Ben did for us more than we could ever have imagined and will be forever grateful to him. He is an amazing photographer and certainly went the extra mile in capturing the most special moments in such beautiful photographs. I truly believe our wedding wouldn't have been the same without him putting everyone at ease and going above and beyond.
Thanks Ben from the bottom of our hearts.
Ben photographed our wedding at Manor by the Lake a couple of weeks ago. We found him via his website originally and have been very pleased with the photos we have received. Ben already knew the venue, which really helped and was also politely assertive with some recommendations for our day and with images that would work. His natural, capture the moment style has produced beautiful images for us and our guests to treasure and we know he had a good laugh with lots of people on the day. Ben was so kind to stay a bit later to get a couple of shots we really wanted and was very accommodating when guests asked for unplanned photos. We have received our images on a USB stick, which is very handy. Would recommend him in a heartbeat.
See More TestimonialsOur wedding photos are amazing - never mind the bubbly, I needed a box of tissues next to me whilst viewing them! They really brought back all the emotion of the day which you captured so well. We are definitely going to find it difficult to chose which ones we want to have printed as there are so many good ones!
Thank you again for everything you did on our wedding day and I don't just mean taking photos. You were a very calming influence - it was great having you around!
Thanks again
Cieran & Gordon
Ben was so amazing and friendly. He made you feel like you had known him for years. The quality of photos are outstanding and how he managed to capture every moment possible of our perfect day I will forever be grateful. We love our photos so much and could not have asked for anything better.
See More Testimonials
Absolutely fantastic photographer. We hired Ben as our wedding photographer and were blown away by the results. On top of the amazing photos we received, Ben was incredibly personable as well. On the day he would make sure my partner and I were always comfortable and managed to take us away from the hustle and bustle every so often to give us some time together and a break from the crowds. Ben even helped with my nerves at the alter, checking on me and giving me advice in order to keep composure as my beautiful bride walked down the aisle.
We received our photos only a few week after the wedding on a lovely engraved wooden USB stick in a matching wooden box, which really added a touch of personality and charm. It's a USB stick full of memories that Ben has made sure you won't accidentally throw out or lose.
Based on our experience I would 100% recommend Blooming Photography for any wedding or event you have coming up.
We couldn’t have asked for a better wedding photographer than Ben. He captured our day beautifully and made our guests feel relaxed with his positive, fun-filled approach. He is the perfect blend of professionalism and personality - and his work is of the very highest quality. He helped create lasting memories for us to cherish. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him.
See More TestimonialsHi Ben I'm not sure any email I can write will quite convey how happy we are with our wedding pictures... you have done the most amazing job and looking through them was like living through the day again. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Not only did you take the most beautiful pictures but you were also a great person to have around on the day. Lucy and Tom

We asked Ben to take some informal portraits of our extended family and he was fantastic. He successfully corralled, cajoled and entertained all eleven of us and produced wonderful pictures. Thank you Ben.
See More TestimonialsI don't even know how to put into words how amazing Ben and his work is, we were so grateful to have him for our wedding last week and we would highly recommend him above anyone! Even a big portion of our guests commented how lovely he was to be around, which just goes to show how well he fit in with our friends and family on the day. The photos that came back are insane, some of them we didn't even realise he had taken or was even in the room for, he was so inconspicuous! He helpfully guided us for the posed shots we chose, and the rest he took were so natural and unstaged (and he still managed to get fantastic shots of us two usually very unphotogentic people). There isn't a single photo he has taken we don't like, which was what we thought basically impossible for us! And to top it all off he got our photos all back to us within a week which is crazy!
Super super happy with Ben! Will be recommending him to everyone!
Over the past 5 years, we have used Ben Roberts from Blooming Photography to support us in our commercial photography needs. He has managed to deliver exceptional results in portraits, studio product photography, workshop action shots, in place product imagery through to being on site in a power plant capturing our product in operation. The toughest part in working with a someone in our field is to convey the technical nature of the solutions we design and supply; Ben has been quick to understand and deliver the imagery that really reflects the capabilities and technical excellence that we strive for. I look forward to many more years of Blooming Photography supporting us, capturing our key team moments to our latest solutions. The imagery tells an important story of our company development and is pivotal in marketing and supporting our continued growth.

See More TestimonialsWow, where do we even start? From the first video call during lockdown we knew he would be our wedding photographer, fast forward 1 and half years we finally met on the day and it was as if we had all known each other for years. Ben wasn’t just a photographer for us, he was like a friend.. he calmed us both down and made us at ease before the ceremony, running around after us and the other guests, and going above and beyond for everyone, and for that we are so thankful! We cannot recommend Ben enough, he was absolutely amazing, it was as if he was a wedding guest rather than a photographer, all the guests haven’t stopped saying how amazing Ben was and neither have we! The photos that we have received are absolutely stunning, and half of the time I didn’t even see him stood there taking them! Please please please if you are getting married you need to choose Ben! He was bloody brilliant and I will be recommending him to every person that I know is getting married in the future! Thank you so much Ben we really appreciate everything you done for us!

See More TestimonialsI can’t even describe how brilliant Ben was. Not only did the pictures turn out STUNNING (and turned around extremely quickly!!) but with seconds of meeting him, we were put at ease and it was like an old friend was photographing our day. We continue to get comments on just how friendly Ben was and how beautiful out pictures are. We are beyond thrilled - everything and more we wanted captured was done so just perfectly. We are chuffed that Ben was able to attend our wedding and are forever grateful for him capturing it so perfectly. Cannot thank him enough. An absolute legend.
