Brian Kinyon Photography

and made us feel truly important for our special day. He had fantastic ideas and I absolutely loved his style of including the "real stuff" because it made our photos (so far) SO much better than the typical awkward, fake-smile photos! They are fun, beautiful, and actually capture our personalities, love, and the best moments of our day! He had his work cut our for him with us because it was raining and windy on our day, and yet he took photos people can't even believe are real! He is truly worth every penny and I would recommend him to anyone I possibly could! Thank you, Brian, thanks to you we will forever remember the amazing details of our special day! :D

gned our contract with him in the spring of 2015). He did our engagement photos in June 2015 and then shot our wedding in June 2016. There are three things you should know about BK. First, he's an artist who has graced the wedding photography world with his talent. His pictures showcase intimacy and the beauty of human interaction. He certainly knows how to capture emotions and takes a lot of candid or "in-the-moment" shots. We have received multiple compliments from our friends and family about our photos, and we're certainly over-the-moon excited about them. Second, he's a pleasure to be around! He is very kind and has a calming sense about him, which really helped put us at ease when we were taking our engagement shots (something my husband and I were nervous about given that we've never had our photos taken professionally). Third, he keeps you organized on your wedding day! Brian made a point to get to know the shots we wanted ahead of time. He helped me finalize the schedule and then kept us on time as we traveled from River North to the Loop to Museum Campus to Bridgeport, taking all sorts of neat pictures along the way. If you want photos you will cherish for a lifetime, go with Brian Kinyon.

e did such a great job of capturing so many moments throughout the day. Such a great way for us to remember such an important day. He is also an absolute pleasure to work with. His calm personality was much appreciated on such a hectic day.

rsation by getting to know us. He asked how my husband proposed and got to know our personalities and what we wanted out of our day. This caught me off guard in a refreshing way because the other vendors we met were focused on the money and how quickly we were looking to book. He welcomed us into his home and has a great personality, which is very important when you spend 9-12 hours with someone! Not only is he a great person, but he is extremely talented. The work on his website shows his unique sense of creativity. Every couple wants their photos to stand out among the rest. He does a great job of creating unique moments, while other photographers bring the same ideas to every wedding, which is why you see all the same type of photos. Another perk with Brian is he is very familiar with the Chicago area and was able to help us plan out a great route to cover a variety of areas. Brian is truly an undiscovered gem and you should book him early because he books up fast. Also, book him before he raises his prices because his value far exceeds his cost. My conservative spender of a husband even said “Now HE is worth the money!”
