Born in western Sydney in 1985, then moving to the small coastal town of Ulladulla shortly after, Ben has enjoyed the best of both worlds leaving him with a well rounded personality and outlook on life, the laid back country attitude mixed with the city skillset
While at high school Ben always had an attraction to anything expressive, he excelled at music, sports and of course, photography. Ben honed his skills with a camera by shooting thousands of rolls of film with his lens pointed at action sports and concerts, leaving him with the ability to anticipate moments and capture them without hesitation. After school Ben worked in the family business which gave him the people skills, morals and drive he has today, all the while shooting whatever was in front of him.
In 2014 Ben and his young family decided it was time to head back to the city, but this time heading south to Melbourne in order for Ben to pursue a career in the photography field. Cracking the wedding photography nut can be very difficult but fortunately for Ben he was taken under the wing of one of Melbourne’s best wedding photographers and shown the ropes at hundreds of weddings, gaining valuable experience in only a few years, that some photographers never get in a lifetime.
So if you’re planning a wedding in the Melbourne, Ballarat or Geelong areas and looking for an experience thats more then just photos,
Ashford Photo and Film is for you.
