View the weddingsHi, I’m Benz
I’m a wedding photographer based in Los Angeles. I grew up in the Democratic Republic of Congo, where I spent fifteen years making films — as an actor, a director and a photographer. That is where I learned to read a room, and to see a moment coming before it happens.
On your wedding day I stay out of the way. No stiff poses, no forced smiles, no turning your day into a photo shoot. I’ll guide you for the family photos and for anything you ask; the rest, I simply watch for.
What you get back is the day as it really felt — the nerves in the morning, the tears during the vows, your people at their happiest.
More about meRecent weddings
Every skin tone, done justice.
A dim room at dawn, harsh midday sun, a reception lit in purple — a wedding brings every kind of light. I have spent years learning to work in all of it, so that every face in your photographs looks like itself, whatever its skin tone.
Beyond weddings
Families and newborns, maternity, portraits, graduations and events.
