We truly cannot say enough great things about Kendra. Prior to the day, my husband and I were both nervous about our photos. We can never seem to get the poses right in front of a camera to capture the best of us. From the moment the day began, she brought such a calm, organized, and positive energy that instantly put us at ease. You spend so much time on your wedding day with your photographer, but it truly felt like we were spending time with a friend. She was always exactly what we needed, directing us when we needed guidance, blending into the background when we had special moments, and coordinating the wedding party and family members for the group shots.
Her attention to detail was unmatched. She noticed things we never would have thought of in the moment from straightening my veil and fixing flyaways, to adjusting small decor items so they'd photograph perfectly. It was clear she cared deeply about getting the shots just right, but she never made anything feel overly staged or forced. Everything felt natural, and that really shows in our photos.
What stood out most, though, were the small things she did that went far beyond her job description. At one point during the reception, she noticed our drinks were empty and brought us both fresh ones. That moment captured exactly who she is: thoughtful, observant, and always one step ahead, making sure we were taken care of.
She made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera (not an easy feat for either of us), and her direction was gentle, clear, and never overbearing. We could tell she genuinely wanted to capture our day in a way that felt true to us and she succeeded with flying colors.
Choosing Kendra was hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding!
Kendra Martin Photography is the BEST of the best!! We are so in love with our wedding photos and cannot stop looking at them! Kendra was absolutely amazing — she captured every beautiful moment perfectly, made us feel so special and we had so much fun working with her! The photos are beyond stunning, full of love, laughter, and all the little details we’ll treasure forever. We can’t thank Kendra enough for making our day even more unforgettable! Highly, highly recommend! 💕
Kendra is the complete package. She’s professional, knowledgeable, and a blast to be with. I had been in two weddings prior to my own where Kendra was the photographer and throughout those weddings, I also got to know her as a person. So, when it came to our wedding day, there was really no question for me who I wanted to document our day. And she definitely did not disappoint! We also had SEVERAL guests share with us how much they appreciated Kendra’s work. Kendra demonstrates such care in everything she does. You can tell she has such a passion for this work and she brings that to every wedding she is a part of. You will feel like the total priority and cared for every step of the way. Even non photography related things, she was always open and available to me and any question I had. Kendra is also such an incredible human and I loved getting to know her even better. I only wish I could have spent more time with her! Thank you so much for everything, Kendra!
Kendra Martin is an extremely talented and professional photographer that we highly recommend! Kendra did our engagement photos and wedding day photography, and we are so thrilled with how the images turned out. Kendra's kind, playful, and authentic personality made us feel very comfortable and confident during our photos. She was so much fun to work with! Kendra perfectly captured our love and the special moments of our day, which we will cherish forever.
Kendra and her team were excellent. Kendra went above and beyond and we couldn't be happier with how our photos turned out.
Kendra is such an amazing photographer and person!! She truly was a delight to work with. Kendra made us feel extremely comfortable and that showed in our photographs! We just got our wedding album and Kendra did a wonderful job at telling the story of our special day. I could not recommend her enough and we 100% will use her going forward!!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Kendra is a dream come true! She guided my husband and I throughout our engagement season and wedding day and made us feel so comfortable. Kendra also took my bridal portraits. She is professional and cares so much about the quality of her work and sets a high standard. She captures every moment beautifully. I can’t wait to use her for future family photos and will forever be recommending her. 😉
First and foremost, Kendra is a phenomenal photographer and an even better person to work with! We cannot recommend her enough! She documented our engagement session and wedding day better than we could have ever imagined. She was able to plan and execute our wedding timeline to perfection and made sure everything ran smoothly and effectively. She knows how to make photos fun and has an uncanny ability to make everyone in front of her camera comfortable. Often times photographers can be overlooked in the overall execution of a wedding, but Kendra was outstanding beyond her photography. She made sure everyone was taken care of and had what they needed from our family members to our wedding party and us. Her talent is truly revealed when you get your finished product. We were blown away at the clarity and quality of our pictures and could not wait to show them off. We received endless compliments from family and friends as well! She is passionate, professional, organized, direct, and fun! When you book Kendra, you will quickly discover her genuine love for her job and her clients which is greatly appreciated! It is impossible not to smile when she is behind the camera! She is everything you want and more in a wedding photographer!
Kendra is the best of the best! My wife and I loved working with her for our engagement and wedding photos! She is an amazing photographer and also a wonderful person who kept our wedding day fun and exciting! We have already recommended her to multiple friends!
I can't recommend Kendra enough for your wedding day! My sister and I both used Kendra, and we could not be more thrilled with her work. She takes beautiful, authentic, natural photographs that you will cherish forever. Kendra truly captures the emotion & joy of your wedding day. She is extremely organized, good at communicating, and efficient. She made me, my husband, family, and wedding party feel comfortable and at ease. We were never stressed when she was around, even with some bad weather. I would recommend Kendra to everyone!
Kendra Martin was an exceptional photographer! The photos turned out wonderfully. Kendra was intentional and patient with us, showing us great kindness and professionalism. As a couple with no wedding planning experience, she made the process extremely smooth from start to finish! We ordered a wedding album as part of the package, and it turned out better than we could have imagined. We are grateful that she captured our precious memories that we can keep forever! We consider Kendra a sweet friend, and have already referred her to others.
I truly don’t even know WHERE to begin. Kendra is hands down the best wedding photographer on the block! She made me feel calm, confident, cool, and collected during the entire wedding process! She is a pure natural when it comes to capturing life’s most authentic moments. She was a ball of fun to work with and made my husband and I laugh the entire time. She was very professional, knew exactly what she was doing, and even had my sister spit her gum out into her hand just to get the *perfect* pic. She had all the extra things on hand that you don’t think of on wedding day (Bobby pins, wipes, etc) and was timely and organized. She got multiple shots and angles so that we have hundreds of looks to choose from.
We haven’t stopped looking through our wedding pictures and reliving the most magical day of our lives, all thanks to Kendra and her team. Can’t recommend her enough!!!
Could not recommend Kendra more!!! She is a phenomenal photographer and person. I initially met Kendra when she shot my best friend's wedding and I immediately knew I wanted her to shoot mine as well. She has such a special way of making everyone in front of her camera feel comfortable and relaxed. She captures every moment and detail so beautifully and seemingly effortlessly. She planned and executed a perfect photography timeline and made the whole process stress free for my husband and I. Even with pouring rain all wedding day, Kendra quickly assessed our venue, improvised, and worked her magic to still get the most amazing photos. I never once doubted that she'd deliver the most beautiful photos and she did just that. I am so so grateful we booked her and can't wait to continue to work with her for years and events to come!!
KENDRA MARTIN, literally one of the sweetest humans ever to exist! Kendra makes a whole room light up and smile when she’s around. She’s not only ABSOLUTELY AMAZING at what she does but she knows how to make it fun! There is always tears in my eyes when I get a “check your email” text or tagged in Instagram posts.
Pictures were very important to me when planning our wedding and when Kendra was suggested to us, I knew she was going to be amazing! Talking to her helped us feel confident that we were going to get the best of the best and I knew I had to book her immediately!!
We first met Kendra for our engagement pictures and she was nothing short of amazing! She helped us feel so comfortable and have so much fun! We both were nervous before but felt so calm when we were with her. She guided us through the session seamlessly and we were laughing the whole time.
Kendra was there every step of the way, whenever we had questions! She made sure to call us whenever she wanted to switch something or make sure something was okay. We gave her some specific pictures we wanted and with a very large complicated family, she made it run so smoothly and got it all (our families were very impressed). She had a checklist and timeline and got it all done so fast that we were still able to enjoy more than half our cocktail hour. Not only did she get every picture but she also got so many candid pictures that really are so meaningful to us and all our guests.
Kendra is honestly a gift to work with and I wish we could do it all over again because it was truly amazing. Every time I look at the pictures I can’t help but cry (happy tears of course) because they are literally PERFECT and captured one of the best days of our lives.
We were so honored to have Kendra as our photographer and more importantly our friend! I can’t wait to continue to work with Kendra in the future for all our events, family pictures and future babies!!! We love Kendra and if you want the best pictures ever book her!!!
Gosh, I don’t know where to begin! After the first time I talked with Kendra on the phone about possibly shooting our wedding, I knew i wanted to book her! Her enthusiasm and passion for photography was very evident just from a phone call. She sent over multiple of her wedding galleries, before we booked so we could see her style and work!
After booking her, we met for our engagement session, and she truly put me and my husband at ease! She made our session feel so fun and natural, and she captured the look I wanted for our engagement session perfectly!
A few weeks before the wedding, she sent over a detailed timeline, and answered every question, I had, without ever making me feel like a bother! She even came out to our venue, the day before our wedding to scoop out the best spots for pictures based on lighting and time of day!
Wedding day, she handled our big wedding party and families so well! I was worried about getting all our our pictures done, pre ceremony but she even got us done early!! This gave me and my husband one on one time which was so great! Lastly, I had an exact vision for how I wanted to do our “first look”. I knew I didn’t want to do the traditional “tap” on the shoulder. I wanted to my husband to walk into the getting ready house, while i walked down a grand stair case. Let me say, she brought my vision to life, and made every picture I asked for happen!
We’ve only received our sneak peek of our wedding this far, but let me say, Kendra FAR exceeded any expectations I had. She truly captured our low country wedding so beautifully! I knew after my wedding day, that Kendra will be our photographer for life!
Thank you Kendra for bringing all my visions to life with your photography 🤍
I can not recommend Kendra enough. She went above and beyond to capture our wedding day perfectly!! Kendra truly cares about the couple she is working with and is willing to do anything to make your day special. She checked in with us multiple times throughout the day to make sure we had everything we needed. I appreciate how quickly (yet so efficiently) she works as well- especially for a husband who hates pictures:) I couldn't have asked a better person to photograph our wedding. I am beyond happy that Kendra was able to document our day!!!
There are many words that you could use to describe Kendra. She is extremely talented, energetic but most importantly, she is a friend. She was able to make us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera while also feeling like the most important and beautiful people in the world. We could not imagine our special day without having her there. Not only is she an incredible person but her photography speaks for itself. When we look back at our photos we are able to relive our most favorite day. I can't help but cry everytime I look at our photos. Every single detail was captured with every angle possible! We always have people commenting on how beautiful our wedding photos are. If you want someone who will ease your stress, make you feel the most important and want to have beautiful pictures, kendra is your person! We cannot wait for her to document our next adventure!
A review doesn’t do Kendra justice… hiring her was hands down one of the best decisions I made for the wedding day and even beyond. Every detail is captured, every emotion documented to cherish. She literally doesn’t miss a beat and does it all with the most calming and humble attitude. Of course the images are absolutely perfect, stunning and timeless… but really it was the experience that I will be forever grateful for. Her work and her kindness are worth every penny and more. If we are lucky, Kendra will be capturing many beautiful life events to come!!
Where do I even begin?? I have now been in front of her camera 7 times, between my best friend's engagement, my best friend's wedding, my bridals, two free sessions, my engagement pictures and now my wedding day.
Kendra is the GOAT of photographers and I do not use the word loosely. My husband will vouch for this and he is the most particular human on the planet. After he proposed, he told me to contact Kendra immediately, she was our first pick for anything wedding related. I booked her first based on her availability, then I found a venue that fit the date chosen. I refused to have any other photographer running my wedding day.
When you hire Kendra, you’re hiring your new best friend, who stays your friend for life. She provided my timeline of the wedding day and this is what I gave my wedding coordinator for the venue to plan the day around. I let her run the show because she is a pro at her job. I trusted her enough to give her the driver seat. Throughout the entire wedding planning process, she checked in constantly and asked if I needed any help! I had a mishap before my bridals with earrings and she had a backup pair she let me use, like a said, a jack of all trades.
Come wedding day, she showed up early and checked in with me often. Like I said, Kendra becomes your best friend and she makes sure everyone is comfortable on your wedding day. She made friends with my Dad and it helped calm his nerves! He still talks about how thankful he is for Kendra. I can never thank her enough for helping my Dad.There was an incident with my husband’s suit and Kendra made sure his suit was clean and dry by using a hair dryer. In the meantime, she sent her assistant to assure me we were running on schedule and she had it under control. Once Kendra arrived with her two assistants, all the stress I had, went out the door. I knew she had it under control. She even came to check on my a few moments prior to walking down the aisle, to make sure I was okay and ensure I didn’t need anything!
I truly cannot put into words how amazing Kendra’s work is. She captures the smallest details that so many other photographers miss on a wedding day. I have only seen my sneak peaks, but she captured so many emotions of our loved ones that I was unable to see on my wedding day. She is worth every penny because she truly caters to the couple getting married. It is obvious she loves and perfects what she does because she wants to make sure you can relive your wedding day every time you see one of her pictures.
Kendra, you will always be my favorite and I cannot wait to be in front of you camera for more big moments in life.
Amazing. Where do I start?! I’ve been in multiple weddings that Kendra was the photographer for and from the first time I met her I knew if I ever got married I HAD to have her. Fast forward 3-4 years later when I got engaged, the first person I reached out to regarding the wedding was Kendra. She had one opening left for a wedding in 2022- so of course I took it and booked everything (yes even the venue) based on that date. Best decision! Not only do you get a photographer, you get so much more. She helped coordinate everything from the timeline to making sure everything was perfect throughout the day. Honestly, I can’t brag on her enough. She is the best around. We just received our photos back and not one moment wasn't captured. We are so thankful for Kendra and her team! Absolutely perfect!
If you are having any doubts to using Kendra as your photographer, doubt no more! Her years of experience have made her such an incredible photographer! I am not a fan of photos of me normally, and I am obsessed with every photo she has taken of me and my husband! She got our photos done quickly, efficiently, and made it so much fun! My husband hates taking photos and still talks about how much fun we had, and he is obsessed with our photos too! She knew exactly what I wanted and was open to any suggestions or needs we had. If you use Kendra, just know you will NOT be disappointed!
When I met Kendra at a friend’s wedding in South Carolina in 2021 I couldn’t help but notice her professionalism, kindness and efficiency. Fast forward a year later, it was time to find a photographer for our wedding and Kendra was the first to come to mind! I thought it was crazy to ask her to fly all the way to Northern California to photograph our wedding but she jumped at the opportunity!
My husband loathes the thought of taking photos and he still (months later) raves about how amazing she was! Kendra gracefully handled our huge bridal party- from blended families and grandparents to our young nephews. Kendra had a detailed list of every photo combination and even memorized it! She was instrumental in reducing the possibility of family drama with pre and post ceremony photos.
She dedicated herself to our wedding, making us feel like the only couple she had. We felt SO taken care of by her. Kendra is an absolute expert in her field and answered all my questions. She had timelines, templates and even inquired to other brides for random questions I had. She was far beyond our photographer- she was a huge reason our big day went so smoothly.
If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only capture your day beautifully, but provide peace of mind during your wedding planning process, Kendra is the one to book! She gave us an amazing experience and we’re so grateful we booked Kendra for our big day!
Where do I even begin to tell y'all how AMAZING Kendra is??!!! Kendra is the best. She immediately puts you at ease and reminds you to soak up every minute of your wedding day. She will make your friend and family laugh the whole way through. Kendra is the kind of photographer that not only cares about capturing all of your special moments throughout your wedding day, but cares so deeply about her brides that she herself, may shed a tear when the forecast suddenly changes and you can have your dream wedding outside! All day long I was so anxious about the weather- 80% chance of rain and it would've ruined any chance of me having the ceremony I envisioned or getting the photos on the cobblestone streets we so desperately wanted. When Kendra found out the rain skipped over us- she started to cry. That's why I love this lady so much and why I would hire her again and again for all of my future milestones to come! I couldn't have imagined our wedding day without her. Thank you for everything you do, Kendra!
Kendra is the absolute best! She was willing to fly all the way out to NYC for our engagement photos in Central Park. We loved getting to meet her before our big day and take photos in a place that is very special to us. Our wedding day went so smoothly with Kendra at our sides. We typically don’t like being the center of attention, but she made myself and my husband feel at ease. She went above and beyond and even drove us from our ceremony venue to our reception! I will forever treasure my wedding pictures and am excited to have a relationship with Kendra for years to come!
After the first phone call I had with Kendra "I KNEW!" She is the funnest, kindest, down-to-earth photographer! I immediately felt I could trust her with the biggest day of my life; my wedding! Kendra's photos are works of art; they are light, airy, and full of emotion! I chose Kendra because I truly could tell that she LOVES her clients and she deeply feels a connection with each one! Our wedding photos are stunning and something that we will have and cherish forever and I could not have asked for a better vendor!
Kendra is absolutely phenomenal. When we started looking for a wedding photographer, Kendra’s classic and true-to-life style stood out in an amazing way. From start to finish, Kendra went above and beyond as a photographer and friend. Kendra is excellent at what she does and she is incredibly talented. Kendra’s passion for photography and love for her clients is evident not only in her beautiful photographs, but also in her wonderful personality. Kendra is fun, kind, and helpful! She thoughtfully listens to every concern, answers every question, and eases any anxiety that may come up on the wedding day. Kendra is also very efficient with her time, making us feel comfortable, relaxed, and present in our day. Every single photograph in our gallery captured the day perfectly. She truly did mot miss one detail! Hiring Kendra to take our wedding photographs was so worth the investment. We cannot stop looking through the gallery and we keep saying how thankful we are that Kendra was our photographer!
My husband and I knew amazing photography was a priority for our wedding, and as soon as we spoke with Kendra, we *knew* she was the photographer for us! Kendra is warm, bubbly, and one of the kindest people I have ever met. She made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera and was able to get genuine smiles out of everyone throughout the day! I cannot say enough positive things about Kendra, both as a professional and as a person. When you work with Kendra, you will get SO much more than just a wedding photographer - you'll get a friend, a cheerleader, and an expert to provide guidance through the planning process!
Where do I even begin? Run, don’t walk, people to hire Kendra Martin Photography to capture all the special moments that go into your wedding!! It was a “no brainer” when she called to get to know us when we inquired about her services. I instantly felt a connection and like I was talking to someone I had known forever. Sam, my husband, and I were slightly nervous driving to our engagement photos, but as soon as we started talking to Kendra, all the nerves went away. She made us feel so comfortable and the experience was FUN. I remember driving home and Sam saying, “Can we hang out with her more often?” All of the pictures were perfect. Fast forward to seeing Kendra again at our rehearsal dinner. She captured all of the details, laughter, love, and pure joy we felt!! Then came our wedding day, New Years Eve. Kendra not only captured the whole day, she captured the WHOLE night. She was on her feet for 13 plus hours, making sure she documented EVERYTHING and EVERYONE. And all of this on top of fixing my makeup, hair, veil, and herding cats (very large wedding party). She is the most talented photographer I have ever known and did not miss a beat. I remember spotting her throughout the night with nothing but a smile on her face capturing the greatest day of our lives. When we got our pictures back (THOUSANDS), we were in tears at how amazing they were. She got EVERY. SINGLE. DETAIL. and moment, from start to finish. I am truly speechless at just how amazing she is. I speak for EVERYONE that was a part of our day when I say, HIRE KENDRA MARTIN PHOTOGRAPHY. You will be over the moon with her services on top of making a lifelong friend and cheerleader. I cannot wait for her to capture more monumental moments in the next chapters of our lives and cannot thank her enough for everything she did for us. RUN, DO NOT WALK, PEOPLE!!! Kendra Martin Photography is one of a kind and a truly talented lady!!
Kendra is the absolute very best at what she does! From our first phone conversation to checking in with us after the gallery was delivered, Kendra takes care of every detail from start to finish making sure everyone is comfortable and ready for the big day. She is flexible, honest and organized, and kept the bride and groom at the forefront of every conversation. As one of Kendra’s brides, she made it a point to check on me throughout the wedding day - from making sure I was eating plenty of snacks and drinking water, offering bobby pins, cracking jokes to ease the nerves, and listening to every need we made known and triple checking everyone was pictured when they needed to be. Kendra is a dream to work with and made sure the bride and groom had our picture-perfect wedding!! Her photographs are breathtaking, timeless and unique in a way that we will never take for granted.
Everything about Kendra is AMAZING!! Not only is her work beautiful and timeless.. her personality, professionalism, communication is all wonderful! She even helped me with other wedding related things if I had questions. She was there every step of the way and we couldn’t have been more pleased with how beautiful the pictures turned out! We will cherish them forever!
I can’t even begin to put our experience with Kendra into words!! I did a lot of initial research when searching for a wedding photographer and I was so excited when I stumbled upon Kendra. Her photographs were stunning, but what truly sold me on her was her genuine care and interest in me and my wedding vision. From our very first conversation, it was so obvious that Kendra does this job because of her love for people and her desire to serve. It was so evident that the thing she cared the most about was my happiness during my wedding planning process and on my wedding day. The entire process went so smoothly and Kendra communicated everything so well. She was a friend to everyone involved in the wedding, and our family and friends can’t stop talking about how great our photographer was! Aside for Kendra’s awesome personality, her photographs are INCREDIBLE!!!! They captured our day so beautifully and allow us to relive our wedding day every time we look at them. Kendra Martin Photography is the BEST investment and you will not ever regret booking her!
I am so glad we chose Kendra to document our day! She was incredibly kind and communicative throughout the planning process, prepared and professional on our wedding day and her pictures are completely unbelievably beautiful. Her pictures are so timeless, and she really captured the personal touches we put so much effort into. I seriously cannot recommend her enough - if you want the most beautiful wedding photos, and to work with someone who makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera when you’re really not, Kendra is your girl. She will feel more like an old friend then anything else. We will definitely have Kendra document more special occasions for us in the future!!
Kendra was the absolute best photographer we could have ever asked for. She photographed both our engagement and wedding photos, and they were all even better than we imagined. Every detail was paid attention to and she made the whole process fun and comfortable. Aside from her great work with photos, she is the most helpful, responsive, sweetest photographer to work with and truly goes above and beyond in every aspect. We were not only from out of town, but also had a year Covid delay, and she made everything seamless. Every guest who got to work with her at my wedding had nothing but great things to say. I would recommend her a million times over. Thank you Kendra!!
Kendra photographed our wedding & it was just absolutely amazing. Talk about someone who truly loves their job and clients. She goes above and beyond always, does exactly what you want to make all your wedding picture dreams come true. I would recommend her without a doubt! Not only are her pictures great but she has the best personality to work with! I am so glad we found her to be apart of our special day, she gave us pictures we will have & cherish for a lifetime!
There are few text messages more exciting than Kendra texting a couple to check their email to view their new photos. Five months after our wedding, we still cannot stop looking at our photos! When we began planning our wedding, we were both in agreement that we wanted to prioritize the photographer. Many of the other details involved in the planning would only matter the day of the wedding, but we would forever have the pictures of the most significant day of our lives. This importance we put on photography was the reason Kendra was the perfect photographer for our wedding. Aside from the beautiful photos, Kendra creates a fun and comfortable environment during the photo sessions. If it seems that Kendra is just as excited as you on your big day, it’s because she genuinely is. Her personality is infectious, her photos are flawless, and we could not recommend her more to couples looking to photograph their big day!!
I can't say enough about Kendra. She is professional, helpful, talented, thoughtful and overall a genuine good person. From the very beginning, Kendra was on top of every important detail and went above my expectations. She has a calmness yet assertiveness about her, which means everything when it comes to your wedding day!! We love you Kendra! Thank you for putting up with our chaotic bunch and making our wedding unforgettable. We can't wait to work with you in the future!
From the very beginning, Kendra captured us by her outgoing personality and her humor. We knew the photos were going to be the most important aspect of our wedding, so we wanted to make sure we chose the right photographer. We spoke on the phone for over an hour, talking about our background and hers, everything we had in common, and just joking around. When we hung up, we knew she was going to be our photographer. Fast forward to our engagement photos, my husband was dreading it. He said he didn’t like posing or smiling for pictures and I tried telling him everything would be okay but he wasn’t sold. The number one thing I will say is that no one should dread or be scared of being in front of Kendra’s camera!! I was blown away by how comfortable we felt and how much fun we had. She didn’t make us feel like we were posing or even in front of a camera. She had us hip check each other, twirl, laugh, and run, all over the property. My husband couldn’t stop talking about how much he enjoyed it, and the pictures turned out gorgeous!! Our wedding day was nothing different. I was picky about where I wanted our first look and bridal party pictures taken based on her photos from other weddings, and wow did she deliver!! Our ceremony went by faster than we thought, so she filled the time with more pictures of my husband and I until our reception started. She was very familiar with the venue and knew exactly where to put us to get the best photos. She was very efficient when it came to family photos and called everyone by name, so they knew where to be and when. From beginning to end, Kendra was wonderful to work with! I highly recommend using her for your engagement and wedding pictures!!
Kendra is the best! Literally, Matt and I are in LOVE with our photos and have them displayed all over our home. Wedding day is hectic, especially with fast changing weather. Kendra was constantly on her phone to look at the weather to determine when to get our pictures, so we could capture the locations and the times we wanted pictures! She also is so efficient. It's hard to keep groomsmen focused, but Kendra made it happen so easily. We even received comments from the groomsmen about how easy it was to get pictures because they were quick and recieved good cues, so that they could check out the reception food and dance floor sooner! If you have a budget and are trying to decide where to cut, GOOD PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT THE AREA. Kendra is worth her weight in gold and will provide you beautiful photos to cherish forever. If that isn't enough, we have received many, many, many compliments on how amazing our photos are from guests and friends on social media! Just book Kendra for your wedding/engagement because she is kind, knowledgable, experienced, talented, and places her clients first. She literally helped develop my wedding day timeline when I was struggling to figure it out. That's just one example of how she went above and beyond her job and just shows the kind of person she is! We love you Kendra!!!!
As Andrew said, “Kendra is worth her weight in gold!” Seriously. We knew the photographer was an expense we were willing to splurge on and Kendra was well worth the investment! We previously attended a friend’s wedding where she, unbeknownst to us, was the photographer. This was a very unique experience in that we could see that her photos beautifully depicted the day just as it was!
After booking Kendra (and even before booking) she constantly checked in on us, not just about wedding details, but about our lives in general. She is one of the sweetest people ever! During our engagement shoot she gave us perfect direction which made us feel more comfortable in front of the camera. Wedding day came and she was on top of EVERYTHING. She didn’t miss a single detail and took charge so we didn’t have to, which allowed us to just enjoy the day. She supplied us with tons of photos that are absolutely amazing! It has been so fun looking back through them as we put together a photo-book. In the future, when we need a photographer, Kendra will be our go-to person!
Kendra is literally the best photographer of ALL TIME! If you are questioning whether to book her, just book. You will not be disappointed. . Her customer service is unreal. Throughout the whole wedding planning process, she was right there offering any help (especially nice when planning a wedding during a pandemic), vendor suggestions, etc. She is the most kind hearted photographer and truly cares about her clients. The wedding day can be stressful and she made it beyond easy. She guided us through where to be when, took shots quickly, but efficiently, all while still having fun along the way (let me emphasize that... photos can be long and tiresome, but not with Kendra, they are so fun! Even your spouse will enjoy them!) I felt like I had to do no thinking and truly got to just enjoy the day. She put up with my husband and groomsman giving her a hard time and acting goofy the entire day and she absolutely embraced them. We got our pictures back in a very timely manner. You hear of some people having to wait forever to get pictures back, but that is not the case with Kendra. We received over 1,000 edited, beautiful pictures from our wedding day! All of them fantastic with every detail captured perfectly!!!! I seriously can't say enough great words about Kendra. She absolutely made our wedding day AMAZING!!!!
Your search for a wedding photographer ends now! Kendra was a joy to work with from even before day one. Both my husband and I are not huge fans of being the center of attention, but Kendra made us feel extremely comfortable in front of the camera and kept us laughing! Kendra was always willing to give me input or recommendations if I had the most random wedding questions (not even related to photos!) and she was extremely responsive and helpful. On our wedding day, she was very efficient and made sure to get every shot we wanted and more. My friends and family have continually commented on how beautiful Kendra's photos are since we got our engagement photos back, and I didn't think anything could possibly have topped those (but the wedding photos knocked it out of the park!). It was such a load off my mind to not have to worry about my photos, because I knew Kendra would go above and beyond, and we will cherish her photos that capture our day perfectly for the rest of our lives. I highly recommend Kendra and I know we'll keep using her in the future whenever we want professional photos! She is an incredibly kind and thoughtful person and you'll be put at ease once you hire her.
Kendra is kind, talented, amazing, humble and the best photographer I've ever had the pleasure of working with. Mine and Kendra's photography story is special to me because over ten years ago I met Kendra when she did my senior portraits in high school. We formed such a beautiful friendship and have stayed in touch through the years as she continued to photograph sessions for me and my family. We've both watched eachother's lives evolve and take us to new places - even take Kendra away from the great state of Texas! But, when it was time for me to select a wedding photographer I couldn't imagine doing it without her! Kendra was SO ready to join this adventure and hop on a plane to come to Texas to be a part of the most special day in my life. She is so selfless and eased my anxieties (there were a lot) every step of the way as I kept having to reimagine my day with the growing changes of this pandemic. I will never be able to tell you enough good things about her and her spirit. These photos mean the world to me, representing one of the most precious moments of my life to cherish forever, but they matter just as much to Kendra - this is the magic of what makes her so special. Kendra is passionate and has a great desire to give people a reflection of those beautiful moments through each of her photographs. She is truly a blessing to those around her and I hope you have the opportunity to work with her one day.
I cannot say enough good things about Kendra! From the moment we first talked on the phone she took the time to get to know the little details about me and my husband, I knew I wanted her to photograph our big day! Kendra was professional, timely and so much fun to work with. Kendra checked in on me through out our wedding planning and offered her help in any way possible. The photos Kendra delivered from our engagement session and wedding day were everything I’ve ever wanted! They take me right back to that day. Plus, everyone from parents to the wedding party loved Kendra!💕 We will continue to use Kendra for any photography needs in our future!
I can’t put into words how much Kendra means to our little family! From day one, she jumped right in and worked so hard to learn every small detail about my husband and I. She’s one of those people you feel like you’ve known forever when you’ve only just met them. She’s one of the kindest, most observant, most loyal, most dependable friends I’ve ever had- and yes I consider her a friend now 💓 She’s so talented and will make you feel unstoppable in front of her camera. Our engagement and wedding photos were more beautiful than I could have ever imagined. She creates memories that you will cherish forever. I will forever refer everyone I know to her. We love you, Kendra!
I met Kendra via instagram a few years ago. I fell in love with the images on her page. I really like how natural they looked. Her pictures captured the true colors of where she was shooting. Since then she has photographed me and my sister, my husband and now my elopement. Kendra takes the time to invest in your outside life. She’s not just a one time photographer. She also takes such good care of you during the shoot. Being very specific with what she wants and makes sure that by the end of the session everyone is feeling comfortable. We definitely picked a day to elope that she could shoot. I couldn’t have imagined anyone else capturing our day. Kendra is unlike any photographer that I’ve worked with. She will definitely capture many more causal days and big milestones in our lives. Thank you Kendra for all the time and effort you put into making every session feel so special. We love you so much!
Where to even start??? If you want a photographer that goes above and beyond, not just on the wedding day but throughout the whole process, then look no further. I met with Kendra a year and a half out from my wedding and knew that I wanted to book with her right away. She was the first vendor that I booked for my wedding and was there throughout every step. When I met with Kendra, she spent most of the meeting getting to know me as a person and my relationship with my now husband. She wanted to understand who we were and how we got to this moment. Throughout our pre-wedding journey, we had TWO engagement sessions. These engagement sessions allowed my husband to get comfortable in front of the camera. He has never been one that enjoys taking pictures however Kendra made sure to make our sessions fun and captured us just being us! Closer to my wedding, COVID-19 struck, and everything began shutting down. I was originally supposed to take my bridal portraits the week after quarantine started. My wedding dress was in Charleston, I was in Spartanburg, and my bridal portraits were supposed to be captured in Beaufort. I was a very worried bride, and we were two months out from the big day. Kendra was AMAZING throughout the whole process. She knew that there was no way for me to travel to get my dress during the initial stages of quarantine and allowed me to rebook my bridals just ONE month before my wedding. We had the most amazing session and she made sure to get the pictures back to me in time for me to order my bridal print and get it framed without adding stress to the already stressed bride. The wedding day quickly approached, and Kendra exceed our expectations. She did not leave out a single detail and made everyone feel so comfortable in front of the camera with her energetic and positive energy. I know as a bride, especially as a 2020 COVID-19 bride, that weddings can be stressful. There are a lot of unexpected twist and turns that can happen and planning a wedding is never easy. Booking with Kendra was one of the easiest and most helpful things I did during my wedding processes and I would recommend her to any and every bride that I pass. She started as my photographer but now is a good friend and I think every past bride that has booked with her will say the same exact thing. I cannot thank Kendra enough for everything that she did to ensure that I had my perfect day.
If you want to have a photographer that delivers GORGEOUS pictures, and helps your day run seamlessly, then you need Kendra Martin as your photographer!!! Kendra's pictures are absolutely stunning! I think I have scrolled through them almost every day since she delivered them to me! I She knows the best angles, the best times of day to capture the perfect lighting regardless of where you are, and how to make you and your groom feel comfortable in front of the camera. My husband hates getting his picture made, and often looks uncomfortable in the majority of pictures we take together! Somehow, Kendra was able to capture a handful of shots were he was smiling perfectly! While there are many photographers that capture the moment beautifully, what really sets Kendra apart from the rest is her captivating positive energy. She is so sweet, enthusiastic, and energetic. Her number one goal is that she really just wants you to enjoy the day and the whole wedding from start to finish. In addition to her amazing photography skills and personality, she was available throughout the entire planning process for questions even if they were completely unrelated to photography! She has been in the business for over a decade, and knows exactly what works and doesn't. One of the best things though about Kendra, is that she made our day run so perfectly and according to schedule. We never felt rushed, but also didn’t miss out on the rest of the day because of being behind the camera. Kendra is such a bright light, and I enjoyed every moment of being with her and behind her lens. I could not imagine having my wedding day without her in it! Ask anyone, and you will hear me say if I could do it all over again, I would have Kendra there right by my side every time! Kendra is 10/10 and you will not regret having her capture your special day!
Since I work in the wedding industry my daughter knew many photographers and has seen thousands of wedding pictures. She knew that she wanted a photographer whose style was very natural and did not use a lot of editing. She wanted someone who would capture her and her fiance's personality and their love for each other and Kendra captured it beautifully. When you meet Kendra you can’t help but love her. She has a contagious personality! She was so much fun to work with and she had just as much energy at the end of the night as she did when we started pictures that morning. She made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera and her eye for detail is amazing.The photography on the day of the wedding could not have gone more smoothly. We can’t thank her enough for all the amazing photos. God blessed Kendra with an amazing talent and we were so blessed to have her for our photographer on their wedding day!
We used Kendra for our daughter’s wedding and I can’t recommend her enough! She is so professional yet you feel like you’ve known her forever. Her photography is absolutely amazing. She does absolutely beautiful work! On the day of the wedding she documented everything we could even think of and more. We were able to completely relive the day by looking through the photos. She is prompt and professional and communicates very well with her clients. I promise you won’t regret using Kendra!
I'm not sure I can put in words how special and talented Kendra is. She was so flexible and positive while we figured out how to replan our corona virus wedding. She was supportive and always there for kind words and different ideas. Her photos speak for themselves. She is able to capture all the beauty and real emotions of each special moment. I'm so thankful to have her as my wedding photographer and also as someone I think of as a friend. She goes above and beyond and completely outdid herself on our wedding day. I'm thrilled to have these memories to cherish for years to come!
