MEET BEN MINNAAR
HI, I’M BEN
I’m a super gentle and easy-going guy who’s known to be smiling more times than not. I’m six foot six, half Dutch, half Swiss, a bit of a dreamer, and a tad obsessed with skiing and cats.
Watching the world go by in its insane, fluid-like chaos is one thing I love. Photography is another. Being able to look back anytime and feel that moment is simply the best way to time travel.
Since I lost my father in my early twenties, I have been documenting people I love through what I love: photography. With immense value on my wife Sam, my son Otto, daughter Ida, and family and friends, I decided to document life not just for myself but for others through photos that capture hidden glimpses of your closest. However hardened a person is, I find a wedding will crack them – exposing the true them. This is what I love to capture. It really is an unbelievable honor to witness such emotion.
Documenting a wedding day isn’t just essential, but it’s an opportunity to see a different side of yourself and your closest. I will allow your day to unfold completely naturally while I photograph from morning till night because after all, your wedding day is a story to be read, not written.
