My name is Ben Godkin, owner and photographer of Godkin Photo. Thank you for stoping by! Here you can find out more about me and my life as a photographer. I live in the best city in the world! Austin Texas... (well the best city in Texas anyway). I began shooting weddings fulltime after I recieved my BFA in Photography from 
Ben & Ann are getting married in Austin but they currently reside in New York. I believe engagement photos should really tell the story of the couple, how they live their lives together… well when they asked me if I could fly out to New York to shoot their engagement photos I couldn’t say no! We spent the whole afternoon exploring the city. We went to Central Park, Times Square, the Subways, Dumbo Park, and The Brooklyn Bridge.Caroline came with me to assist and second shoot the engagement session and we had a great time but the only problem was the trip was to short! I definitely need to visit again… Congratulations to Ben and Ann!

Those are spectacular, y’all. LOVE the tunnel ones and the Brooklyn Bridge one after the underneath-bridge shot is classic. Very very nice.

Man I miss New York! I want to move back so badly. These shots are fantastic. Love the motion shot on the street and in the subway. Doubly cool that you took the time to go into brooklyn and get shots back at the skyline. Not to bad for a Texan! hahaha!
