WELCOME!
I’m Ben Wagner, a New York City–based wedding and elopement photographer with roots in France. I relocated to the United States in 2016 — the same year I photographed my first wedding and discovered a passion for it. Since then, I’ve documented over 150 celebrations across the country and abroad. From the West Coast to North Carolina and New England, and internationally in France and Morocco, my work is shaped by a love of travel, culture, and human connection.
I am drawn to the quiet in-between moments as much as the grand gestures — the refined details, the layered emotions, the atmosphere of the day. My approach is intentional and immersive, focused on capturing the essence of each couple with honesty and elegance. Every story is distinct, and I consider it a privilege to preserve it with depth and artistry. I work with couples who value emotion, elegance, art and beautiful imagery that endures — photographs that feel as meaningful decades from now as they do today.
All love is honored here. Regardless of religion, sexual orientation, race, immigration status, or personal beliefs, this is a welcoming and inclusive space — a place where your story is felt, seen, respected, and beautifully documented.
"If we could, we'd give him a 1000/10. His talent and kindness made our day unforgettable. From the moment he arrived, his high spirits and warm demeanor put us at ease. He was more than just a photographer; he was a friend who helped with the little details and even joined our celebration, making the day feel even more special."- Amber & Richard
"Ben captured the joy, the lewks, and the vibrant colors of our wedding weekend. Far from feeling stuffy, his images have a life force buzzing through them. I am a visual artist and I chose to work with him because his eye stood out from the many portfolios I reviewed. I was drawn to his strong compositions, his ability to capture movement, and the edgy elegance of his aesthetic."- Virginia & Vincent
"Photography is such an important wedding aspect, and there's no one else I would've felt so comfortable holding that responsibility than Ben. He captured every little moment and emotion felt on our wedding day and I'm grateful we will be able to relive the day through their photos. I will definitely be recommending Ben to my friends and family for their weddings and any photoshoot needs!"- Mihoko & Jack
