Working with Cameron from Kindling for our wedding was great! Things can be overwhelming the day of, and it’s great to have such a laid back and efficient photographer. We loved the result of our engagement photos, so we had high hopes for our wedding images as well. We were blown away! Great quality and he did such a thoughtful job of capturing the little moments.
Right from the beginning of our engagement, Kindling Co. has been nothing but a positive experience. We had our engagement pictures pre-covid, and we felt SO comfortable with Cameron. My husband and I are both very introverted, and we didn’t feel overwhelmed or stressed with him like we did meeting with other photographers. Cameron was extremely accommodating of our wants and needs, and allowed us to change our date stress-free when we decided to postpone due to covid. Throughout the wedding day, Cameron took pictures for 11 hours and was such a trooper and extremely flexible with timing and locations for photos. I could not be happier with how our pictures turned out, and I wholeheartedly recommending Kindling Co.
Cameron and Chase were great to work with. They were flexible with all our wedding date changes due to COVID. It was fun to have them around on our wedding day and most importantly, the pictures came out beautifully!
Cameron and Chase did a phenomenal job photographing our engagement and wedding photos. They were incredibly responsive and easy to work with. They created a fun, relaxed atmosphere and delivered a perfect combination of candid and posed shots. In addition to the photos from the wedding we added a video of the ceremony and it was the best decision we made! They returned the video and our photos back to us very quickly after the wedding and we have not been able to stop looking at them! I could not recommend them enough!
Kindling made our photo dreams come true. We wanted a lot of quality, candid pictures and they absolutely delivered! They captured the essence of our wedding and I truly cannot recommend them enough. Not to mention they are so fun to have around as part of your day!
Chase & Cameron with Kindling Photography were such an amazing addition to our wedding!!! Our engagement shoot in Feb 2020 was fun and so easy, so we knew our wedding day wouldn’t be full of stuffy posing and dry conversation. Then we had to postpone for over a year and we are beyond grateful that all of our original vendors were able to stay with us!!! With our new date, we didn’t see these guys for a year and a half!! But even so, they showed up on the wedding day all smiles and jokes and I was immediately at ease knowing these guys would make this easy…and they did!!! We had always from the start loved Kindling’s style of photography as we didn’t want a whole slew of posed pictures, but wanted the candid, real-life pics!! They delivered and then some!! Our pictures are amazing and I love the style they used to truly portray my husband and I - relaxed and fun people and that just SHOWS!!! I forgot to get my photo list together but it didn’t slow them down and they got all of the posed and family photos I wanted!! I am so incredibly thankful that Chase and Cameron could be a part of our day and they are amazing!! Thank you guys for everything!!
TLDR: Chase and Cameron are the best. Their quality is outstanding. The pictures they take don't feel forced, they feel natural.
Specifics: Chase and Cameron were our engagement and wedding photographers. The first time we met Chase and Cameron, we got coffee and just talked to get to know each other. They were so friendly, it felt like we'd known them for years. They are both exceptionally kind, which helped us relax for both our engagement and wedding photos.
Like many who were planning a wedding during 2020, things were a bit hectic at times. Yet, Chase and Cameron were flexbile and understanding. We ended up having a very small wedding ceremony in 2020 and postponed our reception till 2021. They allowed us to split their usual 8-hour time allotment into two dates for the ceremony and reception in 2021.
Because we had such a tiny ceremony, we only needed one photographer. Chase was very professional and captured the day perfectly. He shot so many wonderful candids and photos of the little details we'd worked hard to incorporate. He was also extremely patient when my mother and aunt were taking pictures with their phones. 😅
All in all, wedding photography is a pretty large financial committment. but Chase and Cameron and their quality of work is worth every penny.
Chase and Cameron at Kindling we absolutely amazing to work with from day one. They were quick to respond and set up an initial meeting, they took the time to walk us through their process/pricing/timeline etc. They made our engagement pictures so comfortable and fun and BEAUTIFUL. We could not have been more pleased with the wedding day. They were calm, cool, and collected, made everyone feel comfortable, and somehow caught the most amazing candid pictures (balanced with posed) while not interrupting any part of the festivities. It took about a month to get our wedding pictures back and they are absolutely perfect. Definitely recommend!!
Like other reviewers, I did a decent bit of research on photographers. I loved what I saw and read about Kindling, and we met them and knew they were exactly who we wanted to work with. They were super organized and kind and TALENTED! Our engagement shoot went well and provided us the opportunity to see what we liked and didn’t like, they took the feedback on our wedding day and we are absolutely obsessed with how our photos turned out. It’s hard not to plaster them all over the place. Chase and Cameron, thank you so much for everything!!
They were amazing. Our photos are stunning. Really nice duo that made us feel comfortable and got the best shots of our celebration. I loved getting a curated digital album of edited photos at the end of the process...plenty of options but not too many to be overwhelming and all of them ready to print. Thanks for the great service, guys! (Hire them)
Photography was the most important part of the wedding, for me (except for marrying my husband, of course!). Chase and Cam are the absolute best. I wanted a documentary style approach, and every image turned out like a piece of art. They are super flexible and truly want to make their couples happy. This is an investment you will never regret!
Chase and Cameron did a beautiful job of shooting both our engagement and wedding day photos. Their documentary-style approach helped capture both candid moments and the planned photographs we wanted. Both Chase and Cameron are easy to work with, detail-oriented, and have many creative ideas. I highly recommend using them for your special day.
Chase and Cameron did an excellent job capturing our wedding day. We love our photos and every time we look through them it's as if we are re-living the day over and over again. Book them now!
When I got engaged, I had known for at least a couple years before that who I wanted my wedding photographers to be. That was Kindling. I had high expectations based on seeing their previous work, and having known Chase some from years ago when we worked together over the summer. I valued my husband's and my wedding photos more than any other part of the ceremony and reception. Even if there were only going to be 20 people in attendance, I knew that I wanted high quality pictures to look back on. Chase and Cameron were punctual in every way leading up to and following the wedding. They included a engagement session with our package which was nice, as I probably wouldn't have otherwise done one. They were on time for the wedding day, and they had even given us suggestions of where to go to get great pictures. They communicated well, and answered any and all questions I had. They were easy to work with the whole night, and they stayed until the party was over. All of that being said, I recommend to any bride looking for photographers who communicate well, who understand the stresses and unique schedules of weddings, and who deliver a product that is of the highest quality to choose Kindling. Thanks to them, I am able to see parts of my wedding day that I would have otherwise missed. They gave us the best wedding gift of all, hundreds of pictures to look back on for years to come. They were my number one choice when picking a photographer, and they lived up to every expectation.
I LOVED working with Kindling. The name of their company is what drew me initially to them, sounds so romantic. When I looked at their pictures on their website I knew they were my choice for my wedding! They were a joy to work with! Setting up an informal meet and greet with them was a nice touch. We also did our engagement pictures with them so by the time the wedding rolled around we knew how they operated and we were super comfortable with them shuttering away! Great photog company!
We hired Kindling for our wedding in June and we are so glad we did! They were personable and easy going from our first meeting all the way to the wedding.
Their pictures were very professional, and everyone enjoyed looking at our beautiful photos. Cameron was our lead photographer, and even in the caotic moments of the day he stayed relaxed and helped us stay organized.
Cameron and Chase are phenomenal photographers! We loved how they captured the details and candid moments of our wedding day. Two truly kid and down-to -earth guys who were super responsive to our questions and were flexible on the wedding day. We would highly recommend them!
Before I ever got engaged, I admired Chase and Cameron’s work. The way they capture candid moments in an almost cinematic way has always made them stand out to me. They have a distinct style that I love. When I got engaged, I didn’t have to research photographers—I knew I had to have Chase and Cameron photograph our wedding. I actually booked the two of them before officially booking our venue! Our photos did not disappoint. They told our story beautifully and we will cherish these photos forever.
I have nothing but amazing things to say about Cameron and Chase!! They are 2 super cool dudes and they nailed our engagement/wedding photography!! We have even received all our photos yet (just got married 2 weeks ago) but the sneak peak photos they sent already made me cry and I cannot wait to see the rest!!!
They were so fun to hang out with the morning of our wedding and they made everyone feel at ease. By having the two of them on site, they were able to capture SO many aspects of our day!! Our first look photos & golden hour photos are our favorite so far!!
If you're looking to capture REAL, candid moments -- these are your guys! They are fun to work with and insanely talented!
THANK YOU BOTH FOR HELPING US HAVE THE BEST DAY EVER!!
Using Chase and Cameron as our wedding photographers was seriously the best decision we made for our wedding. They were easy to work with, fun to be around, easy to talk to, reasonably priced, and their pictures are phenomenal. We haven't gotten all of our photos back yet but we have gotten so many compliments about the style of their photos. Simply amazing. Doing the engagement session with them for free really sold us on them. You will not regret choosing Kindling!
I cannot say enough good things about Kindling. To start, Kindling was the BEST vendor we worked with throughout our entire wedding. They were extremely responsive to calls, text, and emails throughout the entire wedding planning process and gave us great shot location ideas, poses, and timelines. My husband and I wanted a more documentary type photographer and they are just that! They are patient, kind and were an absolute blast to be around on our big day. Their work just speaks for itself - absolutely stunning! They delivered all 1,017 photos to us in 1 month and they were everything we could have ever wanted and more. If you spend your money on anything, spend it on quality photos that will last a lifetime aka book Kindling! Highly recommend Cameron and Chase and would 110% use again! Loved them.
We are so happy we chose Kindling! Cameron was a joy to work with. He takes immense care in his work so that his photos are as beautiful as they are timeless! His elegant, glamorous style is what initially drew us in, and his thoughtfulness and professionalism confirmed that we made a great decision. Our wedding was November 25, 2017 and we had our all of our wedding photos in time to share them with our families on Christmas! We love that he was able to capture even the smallest details of our day in both digital and film photography. We can’t thank him enough for everything—from the first beer we had together to the last picture we were in awe over—thank you so much, Cameron!
Kindling is incredible! We had a blast working with them and felt so comfortable with them. Everyone comments on our photos and constantly ask about the location. They find the best hidden spots for photos and they turn out amazing.
Kindling was amazing to work with! I cannot say enough how nice they are! We loved having Chase around on our big day and many family members commented on how nice and fun he was. The second shooter they brought was really nice and easy to work with too. Chase came early so that we could have the getting ready pictures I wanted and was one of the last to leave our reception (even though we didn't have a grand exit and had told him he could leave earlier). Our pictures are gorgeous! They are exactly what we wanted. They captured so many wonderful candid moments. The pictures look natural and beautiful. We would HIGHLY recommend Kindling!
Chase and Cameron were amazing! I got so many wonderful shots of my wedding, and loved that they included so many of the tiny details that I worked so hard on. They made everyone comfortable and were really easy to work with!
As we planned our Colorado wedding all the way from Taiwan, using Kindling was easily one of the best choices we made concerning our ceremony! They were incredibly personable and fun to work with, and made effort to make sure we got what we wanted. In addition to professional results, Cameron was one of the best communicators we worked with as we prepared for the big day.
I would HIGHLY recommend their services - we personally brag about our photographers even as we share our wedding day story.
My husband and I cannot say enough good things about these two! Their photography style was exactly what we were looking for and we absolutely fell in love with them as soon as we met them. Chase and Cameron were incredibly relatable, kind, and unbelievably talented. They truly want to get to know you and give you the photos/experience you are looking for. They also were happy to help with any other questions we had/advice we needed about anything wedding related. Please chose Kindling! There is simply no one better and no one that is easier to work with than these two! No one could have better captured our special day! Still in awe everytime we look through our photos!
Chase and Cameron are so creative! Their work is incredible! I highly recommended them!
Highest recommendation possible! Cameron and Chase did just a phenomenal job for our engagement shoot, rehearsal dinner photos, wedding photos, and wedding video! They wowed us. We have STUNNING photos from these events. They're also the greatest people ever, which is clutch for a photographer to make you feel comfortable and like you enjoy them. Their price was unbeatable, too! No need to look elsewhere!
Cam and Chase were phenomenal. Excellent quality. Professional. Incredibly kind and amiable. I wish we could have paid them more for all they did.
My wife emailed them and they responded within a few hours. Their email was professional and friendly.
They took us out for coffee and didn't even expect us to choose them. It was just to see if we would like them.
They did the engagement session for free so we could get used to working with them. Neither my wife nor I like being in front of a camera, but they made us feel very comfortable and as if we were models. Ha ha. And they made us look that way too.
It is very clear that they love their jobs. They were very excited about taking pictures.
On the wedding day, they spent time with us as we got ready for the wedding. They felt like they were a part of the wedding party, joking with us and talking about whatever!
By the end of it, we felt like good friends. (I think I even hugged Cameron on my way out of the wedding.) Our families and friends at the wedding loved them. They felt like good friends, not like photographers.

Outstandingly creative, helpful and professional. The experience they provide their clients escapes the bounds of monetary worth.
Kindling shot both our engagement session and our wedding and we could not be more happy with the results.
I recommend Kindling fully, without any reservations.
We found them at the suggestion of my husband's colleagues. They chatted with us a little via email, then we met in person (they treated us to coffee/tea). We instantly liked them, and I, as an artist, was impressed by their creativity.
Our engagement photos were already done, though we sort of wish we had done them with Kindling...oh well! Our first photos, thus, were on the BIG DAY.
Before the wedding, we communicated extensively about what we desired. Cameron and Chase were very friendly and responded promptly to emails.
On the big day, we didn't have to think about photos because they were covering every angle. We got all the photos we wanted, and then some!! They knew when to be where.
The formal shots were done well, as well as posed informal shots (they directed us well!). They were great at posing us in natural ways. We also had some portraits done afterwards, which are absolutely stunning!
We are delighted with the creative, beautiful, artistic shots we received, which covered every angle and detail.
I could not recommend them more highly. You will not regret the money you spend on their photography (truly reasonable price), but you may regret it if you do not book them.
I can't wait to hang up the prints we make from these photos.
Kindling did our engagement photos as well as our wedding day videography, and we couldn't be happier with their work. Cam made us feel incredibly comfortable during our engagement shoot, and we were so blown away with pretty much all of the photos.
Our wedding video was BEYOND. It was so gorgeous, and we basically sob every time we watch it. Some people think that videography is one of those things that is the first to go when budget cutting, but I think Chase proved that it's perhaps one of the most important parts. It captured the essence of our day so perfectly, and we'll be able to show it to loved ones (including future babies!) for years to come.
When we were planning our wedding, we agreed that photography was the most important thing. Chase and Cameron did such a great job throughout the whole process. They were so easy to get in touch with, and really got to know us as a couple. We loved every single photo we received from them-from our engagement session to the wedding. I could not have been more happy with how the happiest day of our lives was documented. :)
Few people will tell you this, but the engagement process isn't nearly as fun as the proposal or the wedding day...and it's so much longer! In the midst of it all, my wife and I always looked forward to our time with Cam and Chase. From the initial meeting to the engagement photos to the wedding day, their presence was always refreshing--and vital in reminding us of the fun side of getting married that gets lost in the tracking of budgets and the deciding on silverware...
The engagement photo shoot served to establish a relationship that made further talks and decision-making effortless. When wedding finally came, Cam and Chase split up to cover our entire day: groom gets ready, bride gets ready, groom yells at groomsmen for playing frisbee when there's work to do, groom and bride meet, wedding party chills over drinks at the local bar, wedding ceremony, wedding party exits church through winding tunnel of love and, of course, the reception. The guys caught every memorable moment of the reception, seen and unseen by us, and yet we hardly ever saw them!
Within no time we had our pictures from the guys, and they're of the highest quality. We've used them in gifts for family, as profile and desktop pics and in decorating our home. As one friend pointed out, "Wow, a lot of wedding pics. You obviously don't have kids yet." A funny comment, but it leads me to a more telling point. Me wife and I will be sure to go to Chase and Cam in order to creatively document the next exciting development in our life together.
Chase and Cameron are amazing photographers! Extremely professional and extremely friendly! They take beautiful photos and have a very unique eye that you don't see often in wedding or engagement photography. It was an honor having my wedding shot by these two!
Chase and Cameron were AMAZING! They were incredibly responsive to frantic bridal emails and we're so accommodating with all of my questions and requests. They're think outside the box and offered a unique view of the day. The images were just beautiful. Definitely happy cried looking at all of them.
Day of, they blended seamlessly into our day as if they were just apart of our gang of friends. At the reception they dance/ninja photo shot all over, which made for super fun photos. We got SO many compliments not only on how beautiful the pictures were but how everyone else felt like they just blended in with the day perfectly. Not to mention, we had a catholic wedding but they did an amazing job of be respectful of the space while still capturing beautiful images. Also they were a great bang for our buck. My only regret is that I wish I would have booked them to film the day, too, because all their other film work is so great, too!! Recommended 1000%!!!
Hiring Chase and Cameron to shoot our wedding was one of the best decisions we made in preparation for our big day. Not only are they incredibly talented, but so kind, patient and all around awesome to work with. We still look at our photos and watch our video all the time, and I am still amazed at so many the sweet moments they captured so perfectly. Every time someone I know gets engaged, I tell them to check out Kindling!
We could not have been happier with our choice of having Kindling shoot our engagement (and upcoming wedding!) photos. Chase and Cameron took time to understand what we wanted and executed it perfectly. Going into pictures, we were a bit nervous and uncomfortable considering we don't spend much time in front of the camera but Kindling helped us to loosen up and the day ended up being one of our favorite memories! We feel that Kindling captured our love perfectly and we will choose them again and again to capture the love that we share and wherever life may take us. If you want exceptional photos that tell the true story of your love, Kindling is beyond a shadow of a doubt your best option.
