Hello I’m Sean Alden Benzaquen

 

My husband and I had the pleasure of working with (being photographed by) Sean Benzaquen and his team at our wedding in April 2016. Before our big day, Sean was available to answer all my crazy bride questions, appeasing me and calming my nerves at every turn. He even went with his assistant to our reception location the day before to check angles and lighting!!! On our big day, they were polite, professional and provided comic relief! I highly recommend 2 photographers (if you can fit it into your budget). They captured angles of our cathedral wedding that I didn't even know existed. And I grew up going to this church! And the reception... we laughed, we cried, we danced; there were beautiful and emotional moments, embarrassing and hilarious moments. And of course, awe inspiring beautiful and personal moments. All caught on camera, and with out ever feeling like photographers were there! I had a very special request. I wanted to re-create a picture of my grandparents, who were married in the same church. Sean and his partner took incredible time and precision to make it just right. I must have cried for 20 minutes when I saw the picture. It is now framed next to the 60 year old picture of my grandparents. I can only imagine that my daughters will some day look at it in awe as I did as a girl. As I sat down to peruse the pics with my handsome new husband for the first time, he looked at me and said, "Are you ready to re-live the best day of our lives?" And that is exactly what happened. We were able to see aspects of our big day that we totally missed, and it was a beautiful experience! We had so much fun looking at all the pictures. I find myself checking them out in my free time, and that same warm glow comes over my heart. I am in absolute awe!!! The pictures are so beautiful!!! The affects and editing are sooo cool too!!! We are so excited to frame some of the originals and some of the black/white negative looking pictures. . I'm just so happy that I found Sean! He was an absolute professional, with a country gentleman's touch. He captured our precious day, and has made it eternal. For that, we are eternally grateful.

Thank you so very much! -Michelle and Florian Pahl
