Kinard Photography & Photobooths

I can not speak highly enough of Kinard Photography & now videography. From the first sit down, where we all chatted about how excited my (now) wife and I were to find a photographer with a realistic photo booth. That was very important to us. Months down the line, they had to discontinue the photobooth for technical difficulties. Sure we were upset about it, but they were quick to offer a solution. An open air photo booth, that actually ended up better than what we anticipated, because we were able to fit more people into the photos. We got so many great pictures with family and friends. Every photo they took, be it our engagement session or on the big day, they were on top of their game. Even in photos where we weren't completely confident on the placement, they managed to turn into works of art. This is the company you want if you are able to relinquish a little creative control and trust that they will make you beautiful.

I absolutely made the right decision when it came to Kinard photography and also their videography. They made everything go so smooth and captured everything that I wanted on my husband and I's special day. If anyone is looking for a wedding photographer or videographer I would highly recommend them! They went beyond my expectations and hope other people realize how much they love their job and how good they are at it!!! :)

Kinard Photography was the saving grace of our wedding. On a day so big and overwhelming it was nice to know that everything Kinard Photography did was A-rate and better. My wife had told me horror stories of many photographers that had been at weddings of her friends. From the first time we skyped with Preston and Lindsey we knew they were nothing but the correct choice. They had a amazing deal going and extended the date so we could still get the savings. They worked with us to find a place for our engagement photos that was the setting we wanted and worked the best. They were extremely flexible with the dates and times of our engagement photos. We did get rained out for the photo shoot, but they still managed to make the photos grand. On top of their flexibility, they are unquestionably the most down to earth couple we know. Our wedding also got rained out; however once again they stepped in to make our pictures the one of the greatest moments of our day. We also rented the photo booth for the night. It recorded video and is still giving us hours of laughter today. We just got our pictures back and the quality and creativity of the shots is superb. My wife can't even believe she looks as good as she does in those photos. Kinard Photography made the memories of that night last for ever in their photos. If you want the best photographers in the land, I suggest you give Kinard Photography a call. If your looking for a photographer stop at this review. There are none better.

The Kinards are probably two of the best people I have ever met. They photographed our wedding and were amazingly available to us whenever we had questions before the wedding day. Not only are they amazingly talented individuals but they are just down to earth, good time people. I would recommend them to anyone in our area. They are worth every penny spent. I would hire them again for any event in a heart beat.

Preston and Lindsay are the epitome of what it means to be an EXCELLENT photographer. While it is clear that some photographers will take their check and go, Preston and Lindsay go above and beyond their duties as photographers. The largest thing that stands out to me is how my husband and I had the worst luck when it came it getting married. For our engagement pictures, it was pouring rain the entire time, and Preston and Lindsay worked with us through the rain, because they knew how much we wanted outdoor fall pictures for our save the dates. They were very patient with us the entire time, and worked hard to snap all of the pictures we wanted. Then, on our wedding day, there were torrential downpours and sideways rain; we were supposed to have an outdoor wedding. My heart was broken that I wouldn't have any outdoor pictures with my husband. When I was getting ready on our big day, we were trying to figure out where we were going to have our ceremony since the outdoor location, even with a tent, was not going to work. Preston and Lindsay were there, and kept me calm the entire time. If it weren't for their kind words and reassurances, I may have had a mental breakdown. It was later in the night when I found out how amazing they really are. After the ceremony, my husband informed me that Preston had approached him and told him that, if we were willing to get dressed up again, he and Lindsay would meet us to take our wedding pictures on a later date of our choosing, without charge. I couldn't help it; I cried. Not only do these two have hearts of gold, they also do a spectacular job. They carry themselves professionally, and worked hard to get all of the pictures we wanted. They are very down-to-earth and easygoing, and their pictures are AMAZING. To top it off, their photobooth was spectacular. All of my guests loved it, and my husband and I were excited to get our very own album with all of the photostrips in it, as well as a flash drive with all of the videos from when people were inside the booth. It was well worth it! All in all, I think that Preston and Lindsay are the best photographers I've ever worked with, and I will recommend them to anyone who asks. They made our wedding day one that we will NEVER forget!

I want to begin by saying that I have never worked with a more professional but very personable pair of individuals! Each moment of our daughter’s wedding day was captured in a photo. From hair and make-up in the morning, to the hotel while getting dressed and ready, to the church to prepare to walk down the aisle. Lindsay was always with the ladies and Preston was with the men preparing for the ceremony. Family and wedding party photos went so smoothly as did going to a different location for fun, outside pictures. The Kinards took priceless photos at the reception and stayed way into the evening, even asking before they departed if there were any others we would like to have taken. Now that’s great customer service!!! As I looked through the proofs for the very first time, tears filled my eyes to know that our daughter and son-in-law’s entire day was captured through each individual picture!! From a very impressed and satisfied client, Beth Donley

Preston and Linsday are FANTASTIC to work with and will go above and beyond for your special event! My sister did a lot of research when choosing a photographer for her wedding and so when I got engaged, I knew the first thing I had to do was book with Kinard Photography! We met with them to go over the contract and I was blown away with their organization, details, and options. They indicated they'd be there from make-up til the reception and everything in between. Once we met them, I knew my sister was right (they were awesome!) and we booked right away. Leading up to the wedding, I was able to send them ideas of pictures that I would like and they were always available to answer my questions. We met prior to the wedding to go over last minute details. On the day of the wedding, Preston and LIndsay showed up early to get photos of both the girls and guys getting ready. They were there as I got my wedding dress and Lindsay even helped me pick out my earrings. They helped us plan our "first look" and capture those photos, not to mention all of the ones at the wedding! Preston rode the party bus with us and Lindsay followed along to picture spots on the way to the reception. Before they left that evening, they made sure to check with me, my Mom, and my groom's mom, to make sure all the photo's we wanted had been taken. I do have to make a point here to say that they're both more than just photographers - they are like wedding planners and family, too! Preston helped deliver the flowers to the guys at the church (and help them get them on the right away) and during down time while getting ready, both Preston and Lindsay sat with us girls and just chatted. I think this is probably what sets them apart from everyone else. And of course they're excellent photographers and their ability to capture the moments, so quickly and with such efficiency! I would highly, highly recommend these two - you'll be glad you did!

Preston and Lindsay, the owners of Kinard Photography, take the time to get to know the bride and groom. The photos they took of our engagement session and wedding day captured the personalities of both of us and turned out amazing. They have ideas of their own but also work with you to show some of your own creativeness as well. The husband and wife duo makes you feel so comfortable all day long and really help you throughout your wedding day. They help keep things going on time and notice the small things like a flower drooping or someone not looking. You get so much more than you what you pay for with Kinard Photography because they genuinely want to make this moment in your life the best. I will continue to suggest Kinard Photography to friends and family in my area. I can't say thank you enough to the two of them!

Having worked in the wedding industry I knew that after picking a date for the wedding that the first thing to do is find an excellent photographer. If I hadn't known this I would have missed the chance to work with Kinard, and my photos would not have been as amazing as they are! They book up super fast, so don't hesitate! The cake and the food won't last, but the pictures will! This married duo is so great to work with and very prompt on answering questions and wanting to know your ideas before the big day. We had so much fun working with Preston and Lindsay and I am not lying when I saw I look at our wedding pictures weekly, they are that good. They have great wedding packages at every budget. My package came with so much we are able to print and order tons of prints/canvases for ourselves and family. It's nice already having that taken care of so we don't have to do anything but pick out what we want! I can't wait to work with them again at my sisters wedding!!!

Preston and Lindsey were a great team. They were very kind, organized, and warm from the start. My wife and I were unable to meet with them, but the day of the wedding it felt like we had already known them for years. They were great at keeping the photography schedule organized. I also loved how Preston would take the photos while Lindsey set up everyone up for the photo which was great because no one felt confused or left out of the photo taking process. After taking the wedding party photos Preston and Lindsey were kind enough to drive us to the church by stuffing my wife's dress into the car along with all their equipment. The drive was only about 20 min., but we learned so much about Preston and Lindsey and they were happy to talk about our lives as well. They stayed through our wedding from early in the morning to the end at around 1pm. They were great! Took beautiful photos, and I will refer them to anyone who needs great photos taken by a great couple.

My husband and I chose Kinard Photography for many reasons. When we began the planning process of our wedding we knew having the right photographer for our day was a big priority. Someone with whom really saw our vision, was great to work with, and of course was available on our date. Preston and Lindsay were just that. I researched many photographers and came across a friend here in Decatur and absolutely loved her pictures. I talked to her and her family about who she went with for a photographer for her wedding and she said Kinard Photography. I then began emailing Preston. We discussed finalizing our date, whether they were available, our photography package, and budget. Preston and Linsday were so great when working with our budget. I think this was one of the biggest reasons I wanted to go with them because I knew if they were that willing to make a bride happy regarding her budget while still being at the wedding all day/night that they were definitely concerned about their bride and grooms as individuals and not just clients. And I knew how well known they were and how great of a job they do. Which is what made me decide I definitely want them to be our photographers for our big day. My husband and I dated since Freshman year of high school before we got married and I wanted a photographer that would be able to capture all of our story as well as including how blessed we were to be surrounded by so many great family and friends. Preston and Lindsay got to know so many people from our hair stylists to long-distance family members. And so many people said they were such a great couple and really seem to love what they do. God truly has blessed them with such a great talent, and Derek and I were lucky enough to have crossed their path and been given the opportunity to have them as our photographers on our wedding day. They went above and beyond. Preston and Lindsay started the day with us girls at our hair and makeup (which made for great photos of all of the girls who are most important to me, getting ready, and beginning our day together). They then came with us to take more pictures of us all getting ready at the hotel as well as the groomsmen in their room. We took pictures before the ceremony so we did a first look, and they were there for every part of our day. With our wedding on the Fourth of July, we had fireworks and a sparkler exit and they made sure to stay for every event. Even with a wedding that next day (in Peoria and they were driving there that night after our wedding). We are so grateful because they truly took in all of the hard work, and detail that I put into our wedding: the guestbook, the “Our Story” door with all our pictures and notes, mirror seating chart, ice cream bar, etc. I think that was just as important because they knew how much time and effort I put in to create our dream wedding and they noticed that and captured every moment and detail. We are so grateful for Preston and Lindsay and could not say anything but kind words about them. I would definitely recommend them to anyone planning a wedding in the Central IL area.

Like many grooms, I didn't have much of an opinion on a lot, as long as my fiancee was happy! However, after meeting Preston & Lindsay Kinard, I agreed 100% that we needed to hire them for our wedding. The Kinards are very personable, pay great attention to detail and are fun to work with. They also worked with our budget and customized a package for us. Their work is outstanding and my new wife and I can't wait to see all of the pictures. I have nothing but positive things to say about Kinard Photography!

I can't say enough good things about Preston & Lindsay Kinard! They are professional, detailed and fun to work with. Their prices are reasonable and you get a lot for what you pay for. Every time I had a question prior to the wedding, they replied to my email or returned my call in a timely manner and were always super nice. They helped to make our wedding day (8/30/14) perfect. I can't wait to see their pictures! I HIGHLY recommend Kinard Photography! - Liz (Foster) Cooper, Springfield IL

Kinard Photography captured my daughters special day! The entire staff was talented, patient and took care of every detail. All of the pictures were perfect. They made sure everything was perfect and I never worried about anything. Don't hesitate to book Kinard Photography. You will not be sorry!!

Vary good an work around you alot

We chose to work with Kinard Photography because my sister highly recommended them after working with them for her wedding. And we couldn't have picked better photographers! They are such nice, down to earth people who take amazing photos that my husband and I will cherish the rest of our lives. Wedding planning was very stressful, but when it came to my photos, I knew we were in great hands. They were so fun to work with and even suggested a great party bus that we ended up getting for the wedding party to ride around in on the big day--it was a blast! We also rented the VIP Photo booth from the Kinards and all of our guests kept telling us how much fun they were having using props and taking photos. They went above and beyond in every way imaginable. On the wedding day, Lindsay even gave me a ride from the makeup studio back to my aunt's house so I could finish getting my hair done! I highly recommend these photographers! You won't be disappointed!!!! Our photos are so amazing!

I loved working with KINARD photography! They listened to what we wanted and they welcome your ideas/examples you find online, such as Pinterest. They made our day special and captured all the important moments. We loved them!! Photography is the most important thing in a wedding, because that is what is going to remain after your wedding is over. You will look at your pictures for years and years. KINARD photography did not disappoint and made sure we were happy with everything! They had lots of packages to choose from, including a engagement session. We have recommended them to many people and will continue to do so!

Preston and Lindsey Kinard were so wonderful to work with! They spent the whole day from beginning to end capturing every special moment we had. There were many aspects of the day that may not have gone as planned but they found a way to make things work and worked around things life throws at you. They were easy to work with, understanding and showed they really care. I also love how reasonable they are and work with you specifically on what you are looking for and what you have in mind as a budget.

Kinard photography was amazing, they were very helpful and informative. They were also very accommodating to meet our needs.

They are the best!!! plain and simple. They are so accomidating, professional, and just fun people. Our wedding day was hectic as most usually are. Lindsay went with the ladies to get thier hair done while preston hung out with the guys and got photos of the men getting ready. Mother nature was being tricky as it started raining before our wedding and after so we didint get to get all the photos we wanted but thats not Kinards fault. They worked fast and help us get through the most important photos before the rain started coming down.. Everytime i turned around either preston or lindsay was taking pictures of the ceremony and reception. They even stayed after the reception for us to get our last photos that we wanted to get and for those it needed to be dark.. Since we didnt get all our photos we wanted outside they took us and we all snuck off at the reception to get more photos. They are just great photographers and they are so paitient... like the title says i just cant say enough good things about them.. dont be put off by the prices as your photos are what you will have forever and they will work with your budget and even give you free things as well as discounts. my wife wanted alot of canvas prints and they gave us 2500 print credit to use for them. there just wonderful people and whenever you need to talk to them you give them a call and they respond very quick.. so worth everything we paid.!!!

Kinard photography is a great choice for your wedding photography. Preston and Lindsay are extremely helpful, receptive, and professional. They came fully prepared for my wedding and made me feel like everything was under control. Since pictures and memories are all you have after the wedding day, it is important you get a photographer you love and trust. Kinard was awesome! Our wedding day was wonderful. Our photographers were very organized, helpful, and Lindsay pretty much had everything we needed from superglue, to a sewing kit, to safety pins! I would not hesitate to recommend Kinard to other couples. The wedding package, reprint credit, everything is a great value and an awesome deal. It is obvious they know what they’re doing and they know how to make couples feel truly special and beautiful. I have never been complimented so many times in one day! Preston and Lindsay are rock stars.

Preston and Lindsey are fantastic photographers to work with!! We live out of town, so our time in Quincy is limited, but they were very helpful in working with our busy schedule. They even went the extra mile to capture our engagements pictures at our high school which is where we met. We are looking forward to spending our wedding day with them in September! I would definitely recommend them to EVERYONE!!

My daughter and son-in-law chose Kinard Photography for their wedding photos. What an amazing couple to work with. Their attention to detail was over the top. They made the entire day a day we will never forget. Thanks Preston and Lindsey for everything and for even taking a picture of me with my false eyelashes :) You both truly have such kind hearts and we are proud to consider you as good friends.

It was really great getting the chance to work with Preston and Lindsey! They were able to arrange for a specific package deal for the wedding since we were planning on doing engagement pics elsewhere. The fact that they were able to individualize like that was very impressive to me. The day of the wedding they were great in capturing the getting ready pics at the salon and at the hotel. I also felt they made good use of the time given them to take pictures at the church both before and after the ceremony. They had plans for where to place people and didn't take uber long doing so. It was great that they were even so flexible as to play with the pictures that I wanted with sparklers. Overall I really enjoyed having them be a part of our wedding day and I can't wait to see our pictures!

Lindsey and Preston were AMAZING to work with! Our whole wedding party had so much fun with them and the photos turned out STUNNING. They have GREAT ideas of their own and are also very open to any ideas you have and want to make sure they get every shot you want! I would HIGHLY recommend the photo booth as well as ALL our wedding guests rave about it! They make everything special and know exactly how to do it! :)

We had such an amazing experience with Kinard Photography at our wedding! We couldn’t have asked for a better group of people to enjoy our day with. Their attention to detail was exceptional as well as their quick responses to any request we had. I didn’t have to worry about anything, and gained them as a great set of friends as well! I was very pleased with Kinard Photography and would suggest them to anyone looking for the perfect set of pictures.

So far I have only had my engagement photos done by Kinard. But just through the time I have been working with them, they have been fantastic. It kept raining on the days we planned on taking engagement photos and Preston and Lindsey were very flexible with rescheduling. The prices are quite fair and Preston and Lindsey are honestly just wonderful people to work with! I look forward to them being the photographers at our wedding!

We used Kinard Photography and Photobooths for our wedding. They were absolutely amazing. They were patient and kind hearted and were more than willing to do things exactly how we wanted. Preston and Lindsey treated us like family and we couldn't imagine sharing our special day with anyone else.

We are so blessed to have two great people in our lives to share in so many memories. From our first snowball fight, to "I Do's", to connecting outside of photography. I look at our wedding pictures everyday and relive every moment of that day because Preston Kinard and Lindsay Russell Kinard know how to capture everything in a picture! They are great photographers but you can see that with the pictures they take. We are blessed because even if its just one day they are part of your friends and family, making sure its everything you ever dreamed of, plus some. I'm not sure how to thank you guys enough for such a wonderful job! We absoulty love our pictures and nobody can find a bad picture, personally I love having that problem! Thank you for everything!

My fiance and I had the pleasure of working with Preston and Lindsay for our engagement pictures and cannot wait for our wedding day to get here! The two were so easy and fun to work with and our pictures turned out amazing! They were very flexible and even drove an hour to another location that was special to us to take some more pictures. I would recommend to anyone in the area to choose Kinard Photography for all of their photo needs!

I have not got my pictures yet so I am just going off their performance the day of the wedding and working with them up until the big day. Preston and Lindsay are very flexible and easy to work with! They tried very hard to get all of the shots that I requested! While planning for the wedding, if I had any questions, Preston always got back to very quickly! I would definitely recommend Kinard!

I always knew that we would have Kinard Photography! Many of our friends and family have used Kinard Photography for their weddings and LOVED the pictures. We actually decided on our wedding date based upon the availability of our band, florist, and photographers!!!! Preston and Lindsey were absolutely amazing to work with - they went to any location for both our engagement and wedding pictures, had FABULOUS ideas for pictures, and allowed us to add extras(canvas or metal art) onto any photography package! Kinard Photography will also give you copy rights to the photos if you want them!!! They don't ask you to pose for anymore pictures than necessary. They love to take pictures of when a bride and groom are in the moment or the bridal party is just being themselves! There is just soooo many reasons I would recommend them! Preston and Lindsey are very understanding and flexible. When my husband and I had our engagement pictures done in November 2013 it was around 20` degrees outside and our eyes were watering from the wind. Preston advised that if we were not happy with the pictures that they could even take them again! (How many photographers would offer this?!) On our wedding day, Preston even rode in our party bus to catch the start of our celebration! He blends right in with any crowd and is such a fun person. He goes with the flow no matter what picture he is asked to take! We have had soooo many compliments on our pictures which only makes me more excited to get our BIG canvas and photo album! The advise I would give to any bride and groom is --- Please keep in mind that pictures last FOREVER and will be the best way to treasure your special days events! Thank you soooo much to Kinard Photography for giving us so many amazingly beautiful pictures to remember forever!

Preston and Lindsey are brilliant photographers and such friendly people! The pictures from my daughter's wedding are creative and simply gorgeous! They were completely professional and such a joy to work with. We made many special requests and they went out of their way to meet every need. Our phone conversations to plan the day were filled with laughter and on the wedding day they made everyone feel comfortable (even paying off the very young ring bearer so he would stay in the picture! which worked!) From the church pictures which capture the awe and reverence of the day, to the outside shots that range from stunningly gorgeous to silly and carefree, to the touching tear-filled moments when a mother-of-the-bride and a father-of-the-bride can't contain their emotions any longer.. We have incredible pictures of every part of the day that we will treasure always. Our heartfelt thanks to Preston and Lindsey! I highly recommend them! -- Heidi Sack, pleased mother-of-the-bride

Preston and Lindsay were our choice photographers for our wedding nearly 5 years ago. Not only did we get great service and products at a great price we gained two amazing friends. Since our wedding we have used their services for maternity and our son's first year pictures. We continue to be blown away by their creativity and all the products available to their clients for purchase. There is no need to wonder "what if" when it comes to their products because they got so many on display and available for viewing so you can touch, feel and really fall in love with the product you are ordering. Did I mention affordability? They are very reasonably priced, which really puts this budget minded mom at ease! All in all Kinard Photography has provided us with nothing but EXCELLENT service and products.

They knew how to direct me and put me at ease. They spent a lot of time adjusting my dress as making sure the angle was absolutely perfect. They had lots of fun ideas for wedding party pictures. Great couple!

I read the other reviews that were available while trying to make my final decision on the photographer. I am more than impressed with the professionalism of Preston and Lindsay. I felt so confident that the photos and the members of my wedding party were in the utmost care. Everyone comments on how beautiful my engagement and wedding photos were captured in such a creative and artistic way. I would recommend Kinard Photography to anyone. They are the most patient and likeable couple ever. Your search should stop here because they are the BEST!!!

We used Kinard Photography and were extremely pleased with Lindsay and Preston. They made the process extremely easy from going over details for engagement/wedding photos to ordering photos. The package was extremely affordable for being on a tight budget. The quality of the photos were great! Both were very professional and captured all the pictures we wanted and more! I definitely recommend Kinard Photography for engagement and wedding photos!

I am so glad we chose Kinard Photography. From what I had seen online, they were great photographers. As we got to know them through our meetings, they were extremely nice, professional, down-to-earth, helpful, and willing to try any ideas we had. We were excited for our big day and knew we were in great hands for our pictures. Something I appreciated the most was how smooth they made everything that day. They were quick so we could get in all the pictures we wanted, but were meticulous enough to make every picture perfect. Not to mention, the pictures were fun! We and our guests loved the photos. We would not have chosen anyone other than Kinard Photography.

Preston & Lindsey were wonderful to work with! We had an outdoor wedding planned for May 4th which in the Midwest is somewhat hard to predict weather wise. The night before the wedding we met with Preston & Lindsey to work out a plan for the day. They were warm, friendly and full of ideas and a plan of action in case we got rained out. Of course we did! This could have been awful but the couple made the day run so smoothly. They were there from the start of the day when we were getting ready, sometimes completely unnoticed. Though I have not yet seen the pictures I can already guess they will be beautiful. Preston & Lindsey brought fun props for our photos and suggested lots of interesting poses. We also used their photo booth services which were an absolute hit! Really reasonably priced & they let us choose the time we wanted to run them & promised to keep it open late if we didn't feel we got enough time in there by the end of the night. Towards the start of the evening a part of the photo booth got wet and was malfunctioning, they let us know right away what was happening and what they were doing to fix it. Normally I would have had a bit of a panic attack at this, but I actually felt totally calm and knew they would have it fixed in no time-which they did! The last thing that really sealed the deal for us was that they offered to come back to town (which is quite a long drive for them) on a nicer day to shoot extra photos of us in our wedding garb if we didn't feel we got enough on the actual wedding day due to the rain/mud and limited areas we were able to shoot. Though I have complete confidence that they managed to get a variety of shots I thought that was such a kind and wonderful thing to offer us! They absolutely didn't have to offer such a thing, but the fact that they did makes me 100% certain that Kinard Photography is worth working with.

When my fiance and I were looking for a photographer for our wedding, we did not have to look far. We had heard nothing but great things about Kinard Photography. From the moment I got to the salon, photos were being snapped. They didn't miss a thing. The Kinard team was there taking pictures of our entire day. We never felt like we were pushed or needed to do anything that we didn't want to. We have recieved so many wonderful compliments on our photos. I definitely give the credit to Kinard Photography for doing such a wonderful job!!

We loved everything about Kinard Photography !Lindsey, Preston, and Carissa were more than amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better photographers! They did an amazing job on our engagement photos and even better on the wedding day photos. They caputred every moment of our special day and were willing to do anything that we wanted. The wedding packages are very reasonalbe in price and the quality is so great! I highly recommend Kinard Photography!

I wouldn't have chosen anyone else to do our wedding pictures. Kinard photgraphy knows exactly how to get the job done! There wasn't one picture that I wished they would have gotten because they got all of them. I enjoyed working with Kinard Photography so much and was so pleased they took my maternity photos and are now taking our family and our child's photos! I won't go to anyone else!

The photographers of Kinard Photography were absolutely wonderful to work with. My husband and I were planning our wedding from a different location than our wedding location, and Preston and Lindsey were flexible and willing to meet with us when we were able to make it back to the area. On the wedding day, two photographers were with our bridal party as soon as we began getting ready the morning of the wedding and had three photographers through the ceremony and reception. All of the photographers were extremely professional as they took several pictures without the bridal party even noticing they were there. Additionally, my husband and I had met with Preston and Lindsey prior to our wedding and had mentioned a couple different pictures and poses that we wanted captured. They were so receptive of our ideas and all of our special moments were captured beautifully by them. We were extremely happy that we chose Kinard as our wedding photographer and would recommend them to anyone who is having their wedding in the Quincy area. Thank you Kinard Photography!

Lindsey, Preston, and Carissa were more than amazing to work with. I couldn't have asked for a better group of photographers to work with on our wedding day. The ladies were there to begin the day with me at the salon and were just laid back and not right in my face with the camera the whole time. They all three were at the ceremony to make sure that every angle was covered. After the ceremony they were fast with the family pictures as to not irritate the guests. They made the day light and fun. They were great with kids and adults!!! My husband and I are lifelong customers. We will have them take all our pictures on special occasions from now on! The cost is also depending on the package you get but I'm more than pleased with all that this packaged contains.

I was at a baby shower for a friend and the subject of our wedding came up. I was telling some of the women around me that I was having trouble finding a good photographer. Three of them had used Kinard Photography for their wedding (pictures) and had only wonderful things to say. I called the next day and set up a time to meet. We were very impressed after meeting with Preston and Lindsay and we booked them that day! We had (up to) three photographers with us through out the day--from the girls getting hair & make-up done early that morning to the reception that night. We have amazing pictures that captured the fun we had that day! You'll be glad you booked them as your photographers!

I got engaged July 2011 and started to look for vendors right away. We quickly found out that vendors got booked pretty early. Our wedding was May 26th, 2012. I made several calls and sent out countless emails looking for a photographer. Most were either already booked or since it was a holiday weekend (Memorial Day) a couple wouldn't take the job. I finally came across Kinard Photography from Quincy, IL which is about 1hour and 50min from where we were getting married. Yes, they do charge a travel fee but that is understandable since they would be staying in a nearby hotel the night before and night of. This way they were able to capture all of the moments. They always offer 2 photographers. Husband and Wife team shot our wedding and it was fabulous! They came as soon as we started to get ready and stayed until the final dances and activities were finished at the receptions. Also, I was able to pic out what photos I wanted to be taken which were ones that I found off of Pinterest. That was fun! I highly recommend them and they are easy to get a hold of and keep in touch with through out the whole process. I am still picking out photos to be printed and they are being very patient. They also offer a lot of options with packages and prints. The most I have seen compared to other photographers that I had looked at before. Good luck to you!

We used Kinard Photography for our engagement photos and for our wedding day. We were so happy with their services and with the three photographers. They were very accommodating to us and made sure we got all of the photos that we wanted. They joked with us, made us laugh, and made our day fun! They paid attention to little details that made our pictures that much more special. They also captured special moments that we weren't expecting to be a part of our photos, which made those moments even better. The quality of service and photos was great for the amount of money we paid. They are very reasonably priced and had many different wedding packages to choose from so that we could get exactly what we wanted for our day. They have many different options of photo books, prints, and packages. We were in contact with them often, as I had many questions. They always got back to us in a timely manner and answered our questions whenever we had them. They are truly a great team and we were so glad to have chosen them to capture our special day! We highly recommend Kinard Photography! Thanks guys!

We used Kinard Photography for our wedding. I couldn't be happier with how accommodating they were on our day. They went above and beyond every request to make sure that we were happy. They have many different price ranges so it is affordable for those on a budget and a great value whether you go with a smaller package or splurge a little. We also used their photo booth services which was a huge hit! Everyone absolutely loved it. Their photo booth services have a unique twist so make sure to check that out! The photographers are so so nice and fulfilled my every special request. I highly recommend Kinard Photography!
