Fun, natural, relaxed wedding photography from Bromsgrove-based Benny Smyth. Documentary-style, unobtrusive, and perfect for couples who want authentic, unforgettable wedding photos.
I’m Benny — a Bromsgrove-based wedding photographer who loves capturing the real, messy, joyful moments that make a wedding unique. My work sits between alternative contemporary and documentary-style wedding photography: I blend in like a friend with a camera, stay unobtrusive, and focus on the emotions, laughter and tiny details that tell the story of your day. Why choose me? Because I’m not interested in stiff, posed images or directing you into awkward smiles. My couples want relaxed, authentic photos that reflect the atmosphere of their wedding — whether that’s quiet tears during the vows, the chaos of speeches, or the full-on party on the dance floor. No forced smiles. No awkward poses. Never boring. Never cliche. Just photos as epic and awesome as you and your wedding. My approach is straightforward and friendly. We’ll start with a relaxed pre-wedding chat so I can learn who’s who, what matters to you, and how you want your day to feel on camera. On the day I offer full coverage — I’ll be there to document everything from getting ready to the last dance, quietly capturing candid moments and creating a few epic portraits along the way. I bring experience, a calm presence, and a little humour to help even the most camera-shy guests feel at ease. I edit every image in my signature style to create a cohesive gallery that tells your wedding story. You’ll receive an online gallery you can share with family and friends, filled with the natural, vibrant images you’ll want to return to for years. My background as a DJ taught me how to read a room, be part of the crowd, and catch moments in motion — skills I now use behind the lens. Living in Bromsgrove with my son Sam (The Heart Warrior) and our dogs Bonnie & Jess keeps me grounded, sociable, and ready for a great party. If you’re a fun-loving couple who wants natural, documentary-led wedding photos from a relaxed, down-to-earth photographer based in Bromsgrove and working across Worcestershire, let’s chat. I’d love to hear your plans and help make your wedding memories as unforgettable as the day itself.
