Ken Hild Wedding Photography

me when choosing a photographer. I felt behind in my wedding planning and focused too much on pricing and availability instead of thoroughly researching whether a photographer’s style matched what I wanted. That part is completely on me. Unfortunately, Ken did not meet my expectations. Looking back through our gallery a year later, I can honestly say that out of all the photos we received, there are only a handful that I truly love. While there are a few images I appreciate, the majority of the gallery did not meet my expectations. One of my biggest disappointments is that some of the most important moments from our wedding were not captured the way I had hoped. There is a photo of my husband crying as I walked down the aisle—a once-in-a-lifetime moment that can never be recreated. Instead of being a photo I treasure, it is noticeably crooked. I understand that the angle may have been intended to be artistic, but it did not achieve that effect for me. Instead, it felt distracting and took away from what should have been one of the most meaningful photographs from our wedding day. I was also disappointed by the detail shots in our gallery. I specifically asked for photos of the flowers, signage, and other details that we spent months planning and investing in. Instead, many of the detail photos focused on close-ups of ribbons and other random objects. Looking back, I wish more attention had been given to the details that were actually meaningful to us. My husband and I also had an engagement session with Ken before the wedding, and we were very disappointed with those photos as well. We ended up hiring another photographer for additional pictures because we did not want to use the engagement photos for our save-the-dates. However, since we were already under contract, we still moved forward with Ken for our wedding. Another issue for me was communication. There were multiple times when Ken would call me unexpectedly while I was at work. If I couldn’t answer, he would often call again and then leave a voicemail. Personally, I found this frustrating because many of these conversations could have been handled through a text message or email. It made the process feel more stressful than it needed to be. I understand that photography is subjective, and some couples may genuinely love his style. However, if you’re particular about composition, communication, and making sure important moments and details are captured as requested, I would strongly encourage you to do extensive research before booking. I have included a few photos from my gallery so couples can see examples for themselves and decide whether this style matches what they are looking for. Wedding photos are one of the few things that remain long after the wedding day is over. A year later, I can honestly say that if I could go back and do it all again, I would choose a different photographer. My advice to future couples is simple: don’t rush this decision. Take the time to review full galleries and make sure a photographer’s style truly aligns with your vision.
