One of things I love most about my New York City couples is their penchant for bucking traditions and doing things their own way, unconstrained by the masses of people and billboards that surround them. I’ve found that they generally prefer more intimate affairs, which is understandable given their residence in one of the most…

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…
On the morning of Jen and Jason’s engagement session, I praised my lucky stars because it was sunny outside without a cloud in the sky. I’d finally caught my lucky break. When I arrived at their place, I felt a slight mist falling onto my face. How could this be? How could it possibly rain…
Let me tell you why I was so stoked when I first saw Osk’s inquiry. Never mind the fact that these folks found me all the way from Australia, or the fact I’ve become quite popular around these parts of Manhattan. It was none of that at all. In fact, the one thing I was…
When Lindsey came up to New York City with her husband for their anniversary trip, she felt the city would serve as a perfect backdrop for those bridal portraits she’s always wanted. I couldn’t agree more :). Sneak peeks for now. More to come later! In the meantime, please visit: www.facebook.com/benlauphotography And please “like” us…
I remember meeting Valaya and Johnny early on in my photography career, when my portfolio was still a work in progress and I was a new dad scrambling up and down the East Coast to anyone who wanted to pose for me and my camera. I distinctly remember it being a Sunday afternoon, because I…
When Valaya and Johnny first approached me about capturing their Thai Water Ceremony, I’ll have to admit that I was a bit excited and also a tad apprehensive: here I was presented with yet another potential invitation to a celebration where I got to do what I love, but it was all unfamiliar territory. But…
With Hurricane Irene bearing down on the East Coast, I’ll admit that I did have some reservations about rescheduling our lil engagement session. But I reasoned (as I normally do) it wouldn’t be Baltimore’s first rodeo with a hurricane, so certainly there must be buildings that could withstand flash-flooding and torrential downpours while I clicked…
Christina is an event planner, and Elaine is a professional chef. Just based on these two facts alone, one could easily understand why I was so immensely thrilled when they contacted me for my photography services :). Just the notion of their collective eye for detail and good taste made me and my shutter finger…
I’ll always remember these guys as the booking that almost didn’t happen. When Tanya and Josh were initially looking for a wedding photographer, a mutual friend of ours passed my name along (THANK YOU, D!). After some rather comical detours (in afterthought), we never connected and neither of us ever pursued the issue any further….
