Official blog of Ben Lau, an international wedding photographer based in Northern NJ.
I remember standing outside on the balcony of my penthouse suite overlooking DuPont Circle, and watching a sea of confused red lights swarming into the city. We’d just wrapped up a full day of shooting one of the most funnest sessions ever, and everyone was just so…happy. There’s no greater feeling in the world than…
Hello Friends! So we’ve disappeared for almost two weeks, but we’re going through some exciting changes here at Ben Lau Photography! We’ll get into all that awesomeness in a future post. But now on to the meat and potatoes of this post, which actually contains neither :). Client meetings are probably one of my most…
While I will concede that my photography will always be a work-in-progress, I can say without question that we have the most awesome-ramas, appreciative clients in the whole wide world! For those who’d really like to know, I really do pace around my mailbox every morning like Milton from Office Space, waiting for my truckloads…
Okay, so we’re a little late…even by lunar calendar standards. Apparently, there’s a memo going around saying that it’s the “slow” season right now. Memo? What memo? We’ve got a kid to feed, people! After about a month of “officially” working together, I believe one of the most challenging things when working with a spouse…
Karis’ first “official” day at Ben Lau Photography starts today! It’s always been rather curious to our friends and family that between me and my wife, it was the one without the formal art background who ended up doing photography. While my wife spent the better part of the last decade building up an impressive…
I’ll always remember this as the session that almost didn’t happen. Lindsey and Paul found me smack-dab in the middle of one of the busiest months of my entire life, and our email correspondence simply just got lost in the chaotic soup that was my inbox. I ought to be thankful to have the volume…
After having them run around in a giant furniture superstore during our engagement session back in August, we decided to get them back in front of my camera again for a more subtle affair. We took them to secret location that apparently 5 other photographers know about (because they were there on the date of…
If there’s one thing I can say about this woman, it’s that she’s got great taste…in pretty much everything :). She’s a coffee and wine aficionado with an iPod playlist that puts mine to shame. She revealed to me that her dad was a photographer while she was growing up, so she’s certainly no stranger to the…
It’s been a while since I was last commissioned for individual portrait work (almost a year, to be exact!). After a marathon schedule filled with chasing babies and brides, the prospect of being able to set the pace was an offer I simply couldn’t refuse. So when Eileen’s inquiry found its way into my inbox,…
My shooting schedule has been relentless this past two months, and I don’t believe it would’ve been possible without the love and support of my awesome-tastic wife. I know it can’t be easy working a full time job and being a full time, single mother to two of her favorite guys (one of them being…
