Ben & Ebony is a photography and videography duo
whose home base is in Perth, Western Australia
EBONY STAER + BENJAMIN STAER
We are here for your story, wanting to capture it in its most real and authentic form. No awkward poses. No odd expectations of how you should act or look. We’re all about helping you find the space in which you feel most comfortable, meeting you there and making memories. There is nothing we adore more than letting all of your epic moments unfold in front of us.
Not simply observers, we are also at your service – be it bouquet or dress or veil carriers, removers of spider webs (usually by accidentally walking through them!), bringers of food or water (*wine*) and finders of five seconds of quiet before you walk out the door.
Ultimately, Ben & Ebony finds the best moments in which you and your loved ones are uniquely yourselves. And then we record them for prosperity. Creating an enduring time capsule of ‘you’.
Ebony takes the pictures.
She loves a cosy cup of tea and escaping warm weather – the cool climes of Albany is a happy place where she can spend time with her *million* nieces and nephews. She can quote the entirety of Ace Ventura with ease and is quick to indulge in a Harry Potter movie marathon whenever she finds the time.
She loves Ben big time… his unfaltering kindness towards others, his ability to surprise her with the depth of his compassion for this Earth and the people on it. The way he takes care of her, their home and their community. If she is up to her ears in chaos, he calmly reminds her that she can do anything. And he also makes a mean risotto.
Ben makes the films.
He loves the real stuff. The honest, raw, warm-fuzzy stuff. He values sustainable living, being kind and finding time to care for others. He is constantly striving to do better, be better, and feel better. He loves a long black coffee in the morning after a run with the dog – taking time out to meditate and think deeply about things. You might find him stuck in a YouTube spiral when not working, or in the backyard building… something?!
He loves Ebony deeply. She challenges and inspires him and he doesn’t know if he would have got through some of the toughest times in his life without her. He also admits he now tolerates *but secretly loves* Harry Potter.

“Tom and I felt very nervous about having a camera around us all day, but Ben made it so fun and calming. We can safely say [the footage] has bought us the very best memories and joy from our day. Ben was able to take so many emotions and fit them all onto our wedding video.”
