Hi there!

My name is Ben Kelmer, and I'd be so happy to capture your day. I live in Greater Tel Aviv alongside my amazing wife, (Gitit), and two children, (Danielle & Itamar).

Of course, I love creating memories, but my passions also extend to coffee, hiking with my kids, swimming, movies, music gigs with my wife, Instagram, adventures, and top-shelf whiskey. I'm also a bit of an avid foodie.

Feel free to contact me for any of the above areas of interest. I'm sure we'll get along great, and then some.

For more information about weddings, engagements, family photos or portraits, etc., feel free to reach out through the Contact tab at the top.

For all other inquiries, please email: benkelmer@gmail.com

How will I receive my photos?

Firstly, I'll send you a handful of sneak peek shots a couple of days after your wedding. 6 to 8 weeks later, you’ll receive a link to your online gallery and slideshow to watch and relive your wedding day.

Where are you based? Do you travel?

I am based in Tel Aviv, and I absolutely love to travel! Nothing excites me more than the opportunity to shoot a destination wedding or elopement. I do, however, shoot a select number of destination weddings per year. If you're thinking about having your celebrations outside of Israel, please get in touch ASAP so we can discuss your special day.

We can be awkward, and we feel nervous about the couple's portraits!

When it comes to couple portraits, I lightly guide our time together, but never force you into poses that may make you uncomfortable shoot. I want to create photographs that, when you look back over the images years down the line you are transported back to that time and place, and most importantly, that feeling.

Can you shoot also on film at my wedding?

Yes! Just give me a chance to discuss prices. Send me an email.

What People Are Saying

Ben was the photographer at my sister’s wedding and also at a wedding of good friends of ours (by the time we got to our wedding, we had already gotten to know him quite well!). We loved his natural photography and the way he catches authentic moments in his photographs.

— Talia and Shawn

“Ben has a great eye and shoots everything from exciting perspectives. I was out-of-this-world impressed and treasure the moments he managed to capture.”

— Emma and Yoni

“Ben (and the team) is fantastic! We chose them for our wedding since when I looked at the portfolio, I saw something classically beautiful, but not the same old same old as many other photographers.
They truly captured the beautiful, the emotional, and the hilarious (kudos for being very open to improvisation, including strangers + props ). During the event, they were present and available, but never in the way and always lovely. I couldn’t be happier with the result – thanks, Ben and team, for giving us beautiful memories of the best day!

— Noaa Avital Cohn

“The first time I saw Ben Kelmer’s pictures on a wedding blog, I thought, wow, this guy takes beautiful shots, and his photos are so different from the usual sappy stuff. Going through his excellent photo-journalism portfolio, it was the obvious choice for our wedding, especially as my fiance hates wedding pics.

His reaction to Ben’s and his assistant Netta’s pics when they came back: “I am so happy we took Ben.” That’s the biggest compliment for the brilliant images we have of ours wedding. We love how small moments, big emotions, and detailed actions have been thoughtfully captured.

Thanks, Ben, for having made our precious memories so powerfully alive! ”

— Sonia Esther Soltani
