Silver and Salt - MA Wedding Photos
Photographs that Capture the Captivating Story of Your Wedding
I may be a little bit geeky, and my wife describes me as an "infuriatingly positive person". I am smitten with rock climbing, science fiction, surfing, travel, and being invited into the inner circle of a family on a wedding day. I am one of the only wedding photographers in the world shooting entirely on the highest-end camera system and lenses in the world, the Leica. I am a hopeless romantic and thrive on the intricacies of a wedding day. My own wedding was the most overwhelming (fun!) experience of my life, and I treat every celebration with that gravity. I will tell the story of your day with sensitivity, artfulness, and attention to every detail. I work in a photojournalistic, candid and unobtrusive style throughout the day (apart from when we are making portraits or family formals).
Ben Schaefer of Silver and Salt specializes in capturing authentic MA wedding photos that reflect each couple's unique celebration.
