After a decade as a theatre producer in Australia, I switched gears and built Business in Heels, a global women’s network, followed by Darling Don’t Panic, a boutique Aussie wedding planning service. 💫 Fast forward 15+ years, and I’ve planned over 500 unforgettable events—each one a reflection of my passion for creating moments that leave a lasting impression.

🎉 My hard work hasn’t gone unnoticed! Named one of the Top 15 Wedding & Event Stylists in Australia and New Zealand by Truly Madly Deeply, and listed among the Top 20 Wedding Planners on Instagram by Hello May. You’ve also seen my work on Wedded Wonderland and WedShed.

Hey, I’m Ben Connolly, a Queensland-based, international wedding photographer, speaker, educator, and judge. 🌟

I’m all about turning the ordinary into extraordinary with creative lighting techniques that make magic happen behind the lens. My style? Bold, unique, and unforgettable—and it’s earned me the title of Master of Photography across Europe and the USA. Oh, and I’ve been crowned Asia Wedding Photographer of the Year three years running. 🎖️ Plus, I’m proud to be in the Top 5 of the International Cosmos Awards and one of ProWed’s Top 50 Wedding Photographers in the world.

But for me, it’s not just about capturing moments—it’s about delivering a world-class experience for my couples. I’m obsessed with creating one-of-a-kind photos that tell a story, creating albums that aren’t just keepsakes—they’re works of art. ✨
