In one moment you’re reveling in the most epic “Yes!” of your lives & the next you’re: abandoning your boundaries, planning a 200 hundred person wedding, dodging doilies from your Aunt Janice, settling for a sparkler exit, and wondering how the hell you got into this mess. If this deeply resonates (or sounds like a nightmare), you’re not alone.
We’ve been conditioned to believe that a conventional wedding is the only way to celebrate love. Yet, time and time again when the big ol’ party's over, all couples have to look back on is a collection of should haves and staged photographs that captured everything but how it felt to promise forever to the one person that makes your heart beat boundless.
Know that, here at Ben Winckler Photography, we transcend tradition into daring exploration for the sake of real love. My all-consuming experiences lift the veil that keeps human connection from the wildest places on Earth. Because, as an elopement photographer based in Wyoming, I’ve witnessed the beauty that’s born when we surrender to the people and places that allow us to fully be ourselves without interruption.
& I want that same kind of genuine devotion to always bring you back to one another; no matter where the great unknown leads you together in this lifetime.

I’m a natural light chasing, podcast binging, trail runnin' girl dad who spends just as much time playing outside as I do making art from behind a camera. Although I am a man of many paths and passport stamps, there is nothing that makes me come alive like discovering the depths of nature with laid-back lovers. Whether belly laughing below glaciers or enduring the elements in-between trail snacks; my couples constantly remind me that there is no greater view than what lies in the now. & for that I am eternally grateful to be in the wilds of this adventure with you, camera in hand.
For my couples, luxury lies less in the details and more in the experience. My subjects crave to be immersed in the most serene surroundings. Somewhere where they can be free in their expression; fall in love and be found even further. No matter how far we travel, I promise to be just as invested in the voyage as you are. Because you deserve nothing less from a traveling wedding photographer as you navigate this new narrative together.
