My name is Ben Godkin, photographer for Ben Godkin Photo. I have a BFA in Photography but I have I never been good with words so I will let someone else do the talking.
"It is quite obvious that Ben loves his job, because he always has a smile on his face! He can turn a seemingly normal moment into something extraordinary. His creativity is endless, he strives to make every customer happy." - Kathleen, Bride Jan. 10th 2009
Today I shot Loren’s bridal portraits with Caroline. We shot at the Mansion at Judges Hill. I mostly just assisted with lighting but I also got to play around with some different poses. It was a little hot but nothing compared to this weekend when I shot an outdoor wedding in Houston at 104 degrees! Madness!
Below are a couple of my favorite shots form the day. Feel free to leave a comment. Thanks!

July 1, 2009 - 9:03 pm - I like the one on the couch the best. They look great!
I don’t hear Michael Jackson very much at weddings but now that he a passed away everyone was requesting his songs. They were playing some great music at this wedding, the Bride obviously had good taste. This girl was so much fun! She had all the moves.
Tribute to the great Michael Jackson. This girl new all the moves to thriller.
Shot with the 5D MarkII with a 28mm 1.8 @ 1/30th 6400 iso. It was dark!
John and Sondra’s wedding was one of most relaxing and joyful weddings I have ever photographed. They rented the Red Corral ranch for the whole weekend and really made their guest feel welcome and comfortable. I could feel the love and compassion that they shared. I am so glad I was able to take part of their wedding and document the day. Here is their album design that I just finished, feel free to leave comments below to tell me what you think.

This video was made with the Canon 5d MarkII. I was the ONLY photographer covering this event and I shot both the Video and Photography, that’s why all the video is on a tripod. Hard work, but I love it!
Grace and Steven have been together for many years now, and decided to tie the knot on April 17th 2009 in San Marcos at the Crystal River Inn. Here are some of my favorite pics from this very small but intimate wedding.
