Real, candid, documentary-style wedding photography & videography for couples who want to relive the moments — not reenact them.

Yes, this is Active Beer Geek — but weddings are a whole different chapter. Different vibe, same creative brain.

WHY WORK WITH BEN?

A Wedding Day That’s Actually About You… Not a Photoshoot

You deserve more than staged poses and stiff smiles. I capture the honest stuff — the quiet nerves, the belly laughs, the unexpected moments that make a wedding feel like yours.

Hi, I’m Ben — Your Documentary Wedding Photographer & Videographer

For over 15 years, I’ve been capturing events, stories, and unscripted human moments all over New England. My background ranges from live events to commercial shoots to intimate weddings — which means I know how to stay calm, adapt, and see the real story unfolding.

My brand is Active Beer Geek, but don’t let the name fool you — weddings are a dedicated branch of what I do. Same artistry, totally different vibe.

My goal is simple:
Make your wedding day feel natural, honest, and beautifully documented — without pulling you out of the moment.

THE APPROACH

Candid. Relaxed. Unscripted.

Your wedding isn’t a production — it’s a story unfolding in real time.
My job is to document it cleanly, quietly, and creatively.

  • No forced poses
  • No awkward interruptions
  • No stress
  • Just the real moments as they happen

I blend photojournalism, modern editorial style, and unobtrusive coverage so you can be fully present with your people.

Simple, clear pricing. No surprises.
