Ben Lariviere Photography

Your wedding photographs should be a reflection of your genuine joy, and your most cherished human connections. In order to end up with a photo gallery overflowing with love and joy, you need a wedding photographer who delivers a relaxed and fun portraits session, and wedding photos that feel truly authentic to your relationships and wedding story. The problem is that it feels expected that you’ll spend your wedding day posing for a million pictures, instead of actually enjoying the day. I believe that everyone deserves to love every moment of their wedding day, and looking at your gallery should feel just as exciting as being there. Wouldn’t it be a shame to not get to relive your favourite memories through expertly crafted images? Weddings come with a lot of moving parts and expectations. I deeply understand how important it is for you and your family & friends to have a fun and stress-free time. Surely you’d hate to spend it taking hours of awkward and performative portraits, instead of enjoying the day you’ve been dreaming of and planning for months. That’s why I’ve been honing my craft as a documentary-style wedding photographer for 14+ years. My clients consistently praise how fun and comfortable I make the experience, and how their wedding photos feel like a true reflection of their emotional experience, and memories of the day. Here’s how I do it: Trusted by hundreds of couples, I’ve been living and breathing wedding photography my entire career. I’ve truly seen it all and my skill and experience means I’m prepared to calmly and confidently meet any challenge your wedding day may throw our way. I have a naturally calm and easy-going demeanor. I will bring my stress-free, and positive energy to every moment of your wedding. The last thing you need on your wedding day is someone stressing you out. I’ll make sure you feel fully taken care of every step of the way. Cheesy pictures make me cringe. Instead, I focus on authentic moments. I will go the extra mile to find the truth of a moment and capture it. My unique approach will pull you out of your conditioned instincts to constantly perform when there’s a camera pointed at you. I'll feed you fun questions and prompts during your portrait session to turn stiff poses and forced smiles into relaxed posture and genuine laughter. I curate great vibes, as well as capture the moments. I believe that the best wedding images are beautifully composed candid snapshots of love and joy. The true story of your wedding lies in the in-between moments, and unexpected moments. I'll be with you all day long to capture it all. So, inquire now to check my availability and book a call. Avoid the regret of wasting the fleeting hours of your wedding day modelling for lifeless, cookie-cutter photos.
