Photography runs in Ben Schaefer’s family. His father was passionate about the art, and his brother’s previous career as a wedding photographer inspired Schaefer—who’d majored in economics—to switch courses about eight years ago. Now he specializes in an unobtrusive photojournalistic style enriched by his own nuptials to fellow wedding photographer Connie Miller. “I developed a newfound respect for what each and every one of my couples are going through,” says Schaefer, who strives to capture “all of these little moments of the people we love, together.”
