Behind the Lens

Meet Ben Riley

Since 2011, photography has been more than just a career for me—it’s been my calling. From the moment I picked up a camera in my senior year of high school, I knew that capturing genuine connections and timeless elegance was what I was meant to do. For over 13 years, I’ve poured my passion into creating an experience that’s as sophisticated and nuanced as my photographs. Inspired by classic, true-to-color aesthetics with a touch of edge, I aim to evoke a sense of luxury and authenticity in every frame.

When I’m not behind the lens, you’ll often find me savoring a perfectly crafted espresso (always working on my latte art skills), embracing my love for anything navy blue, and finding ways to give back to my community. This journey has been about more than just beautiful images—it’s been about building connections, helping others, and sharing what I love with the world. Whether here in Texas or across the globe, I am honored to tell stories that last a lifetime.

I create more than just photos; I create memories, moments, and heirlooms that will live on far from when we are all gone.
