Ben Shakespeare Photography

I was on Islay recently for a family vacation and was looking to get some senior portraits done. Ben was fantastic, responded very quickly and picked a great location according to what I was looking for. The weather was spotty but we pushed through the rain and even caught a rainbow! We had an awesome experience and Ben made the shoot fun and relaxed. The final photos were exactly what I had hoped for and the perfect momento for our time in Scotland. Highly recommend!

We were on holiday on Islay last month and wanted some photos to remember the special time. Ben was amazing at catching the Islay setting and fantastic with our children (3 under 5 years old!!). Great photos for our family to remember the holiday. Thank you Ben! We highly recommend him for any event or occasion.

Back in September 2021, we had our wedding pictures taken by Ben. We had a very relaxed, fun shooting at various places on Islay, and the pictures turned out to be amazing. Ben made the shooting very casual and easy for us, and perfectly captured the beautiful scenery of the island. We wanted our pictures to be natural and authentic, and are absolutely happy about the style and quality of our pictures.

A big thank you for your amazing photography and excellent service Ben! Despite the wet weather condition on that morning, you managed to squeeze us in a free of rainy spells" photoshoot in a "not yet harvested barley field" capturing the beautiful landscape of Islay and a happy family with stunning results! The prints also arrived very quickly. Very recommended for any occasion! Thank you"

We visited Scotland for our five year wedding anniversary and were looking for a local photographer who would capture the beauty of Islay. Delighted to say that Ben did just that and more! We visited Saligo Bay for the Sunset and Smoke package, and Ben gave us an unforgettable experience with three unique whiskey drams and absolutely stunning photos. If you’re looking for an Islay photographer, we strongly recommend Ben! You’ll have an amazing time.
