Clay was a wonderful photographer for our wedding! Him and his wife were a pleasure, bringing great easygoing energy that we needed on our wedding day. Clay was very unobtrusive, I was surprised he got so many great shots when I don’t remember even seeing him haha! I’m so happy with the entire weddi…ng album I got! I got every photo I was hoping for and they’re beautiful!

They were amazing! My wedding was thrown together within just a couple months so I didn’t get to have much say in my own wedding due to just pure chaos. But I DID get to choose my photographer! AND IM SO HAPPY WITH WHO I CHOSE! Not only are the photos just absolutely beautiful and stunning. His pay…ment plan, if needed, is wonderful and easy to use. He’s very funny and everyone knows having a charismatic photographer is the best! He will call you multiple times before hand and if you’re chatty like me, you will get to know him and his wife very well before the event. We live in Wyoming but the wedding was in Carlsbad NM and they live in ABQ, yet we were still able to all have great communication! His wonderful wife kept me calm and focused all day, she even helped keep people in line a little too when she saw how stressed out I was. I did not have a wedding planner or coordinator btw so everyone was still trying to make plans with me even HOURS before the wedding. She stepped up and stopped that nonsense! They saw the chaos that was constantly unfolding and they helped shield me from it which in turn helped make my wedding 10,000 times better than I had ever expected because I got to ENJOY it! We were running out of daylight and my colors were Black, Red and Gold so obviously that would be a very hard set to take pictures in when there is no light! He had tips and tricks up his sleeve to get those photos! That didn’t stop him from getting beautiful photos! I didn’t want to see them leave! My side of the family said they fit in so well it was like they where just part of the family! My grandfather especially was very impressed, being this his fourth wedding event due to having all girls, he said they were they best photographer and wife duo he’s had at any wedding!

My fiance and I are more than happy with our engagement photo session and edited photos! We wanted a sunset photoshoot at the foothills, and even though there were clouds Clay reassured us that we'd get great photos. He definitely delivered! Not only did Clay kindly guide us throughout the photoshoo…t (we're very camera shy people!) but he sent us our edited photos in less than a week. We can't wait for him to capture our wedding day!

I had my engagement photos done by Clay Benedict Photography, and it was worth every cent ! The pictures were beautifully edited, the pictures where so gorgeous. I could see our love behind the lens . An additional to a great experience was, he made things very easy for my fiancé who, does not take …pictures. He made him more comfortable, and even took us to a great location! He also had tons of information about venues, vendors, and just all around a helpful, fun experience! Definitely recommend!!

Clay is a phenomenally talented, professional and wonderful photographer! We met him initially to have our engagement photos done (they were gorgeous, personalized shots in the Bosque). Based on the high quality of these photos and his profesional, warm personality, we asked him to do our wedding ph…otography as well. Gratefully, he agreed and did an awesome job of capturing our special day! Clay was very skilled, flexible and attentive day of and throughout the whole process. His lovely wife was a tremendous help with everything as well. We highly and wholeheartedly recommend Clay Benedict Photography!
