Kim and Ben are wonderful to work with. They have several meetings with the couple ahead of the big day to make sure they get every shot you would like. They also are fantastic at posing and capturing every single important moment. Not only are they good at what they do they are beyond pleasant to work with so much so we have used them for many other photo sessions since our wedding. We highly recommend them to capture your special moments!
Ben and the crew were a blast to work with! My interactions with both he and Kim were always professional and they were so prompt to respond to everything. They were flexible enough to work with us over 2 days to have the event of our dreams, and Ben and his team made sure we didn't miss any shots! We got our pictures back and we are in LOVE with them! Definitely will use them again for future events, and happy to answer any questions!
Ben and Kim were wonderful from our first contact! They provided very competitive pricing, and there was a short turnaround on having our photos sent to us after our wedding. Ben and the other photographer were so professional and kind on our wedding day, and they really made sure we felt comfortable on the big day. I can't reccommend this company enough!
I can't say enough positive words about Kim and Ben! They were so kind and flexible, and willing to work with us and our backyard wedding. My husband and I were getting ready in different locations and Ben and Kim assigned themselves to each of us and took memorable, intimate photos. We had gone back and forth with the number of hours we wanted to use them for, and towards the later part of the night, Kim had suggested that they finish early because they felt like they captured the whole experience and charge accordingly, to save us money. I was floored by that and I don't know a single photographer who would do that. They are not only very artistic and tasteful photographers, but they are very honest and affordable. Thank you, Kindred!!!
Ben and Kim from Kindred Photography surpassed all our expectations for our wedding. Their exceptional talent behind the lens captured stunning moments throughout the day, creating a beautiful narrative of our wedding. They made us feel comfortable and at ease, ensuring natural and genuine shots. What's more, their pricing was incredibly reasonable, making them an excellent choice for any budget-conscious couple. We can't recommend Ben and Kim highly enough for their professionalism, skill, and affordability.
Kim & Ben from Kindred photography were excellent, our communication and interaction with them was great. We booked both wedding and engagement photos with them and were exceptionally pleased with all the results. There was no pressure to buy anything from them as we own the photos at the end. We would certainly recommend them for any upcoming events or family photoshoots.
Kindred Photography was amazing to work with for our wedding! They captured our moments perfectly throughout the evening. The process through the planning was very easy and they make sure everything is perfect before our big day! You will not be disappointed with them!!
Kim and Ben were wonderful to work with! Kim was very helpful and great to chat with during the whole process. They had many different packages so we could decide what best fit with our budget. And most importantly, we LOVE our pictures! They caught all of our special moments perfectly. Even after our photos were done, I asked Kim to edit a couple of signs out and she did it right away. I really appreciate their hard work!
We loved Kindred Photography from the moment we had our initial phone call. Kim was great at answering all of our questions and offered honest advice on things we were unsure of. We were confident after our first call Kim and Ben were the team we wanted to capture our wedding day, not only did they shoot our wedding; they also did our engagement session. Our engagement session and photos only made us more excited for the memories that would be captured on our day. Kindred Photography was very responsive and organized through out our wedding planning process, communication was prompt and professional. We loved working with them from beginning to the closing of our celebration! We are SO happy with how our wedding photos came out and we will definitely not hesitate to recommend such a hardworking and dedicated team!
I loved all of the pictures we got from Kim and Ben. Not only were they great to work with on the day of our wedding but they also captured the essence of our love and happiness in every photo. Highly recommend
Matt & Kim at Kindred captured our personalities and wedding perfectly. They were so easy to work with. As people who hate having their pictures taken, they made everything feel natural. During the wedding and reception, they were able to capture all the love and fun we had. We would wholeheartedly recommend Kindred Photography!
Kim and Ben did a beautiful job capturing every detail of our wedding and reception. We love the photos that they created! Furthermore, they were professional and a joy to work with. Thank you so much, Kindred Photography!!
Kim and Ben are so fun to work with! From the moment we met them, we knew we were going to have a blast! During our engagement photos it started raining. We all ran back to our cars and as soon as it stopped they captured the most amazing rainbow shots! They captured our love so perfectly then and then again a year later at our wedding. They took our vision and brought it to life. What we love most about Kim and Ben’s work is their ability to capture such raw moments. Their journalistic approach to photography allowed us to have amazing candid and real photos along with the planned shots we wanted. Kim even was able to remake a photo with me that my grandma took on her wedding day 60 years ago! We cannot recommend them enough!
Kindred Photography is exactly what you are looking for! They are so kind, provide wonderful wedding day vibes, and take all the shots you want! They have so much tenacity and will work with you for finding your dream vision. Book them if you want a low stress photography crew with high amounts of skill!
AMAZING! Kim and Ben are wonderful photographers. They were so easy to work with and very professional. They went out of their way to make sure everything ran smoothly. They have already shared the most beautiful "sneak peek" photos from the our wedding day. LOVE! I highly recommend!
We looked at a lot of options for photographers and it can be difficult to narrow down who is going to capture your day based off Instagram and portfolios. We looked at a lot of reviews that talked about how comfortable people were with Kindred and how easy they were to work with. We would definitely agree with all of them! We love our photos and Kim and Ben were relaxed and easy going which we needed on our wedding day!
Kim and Ben took the most beautiful wedding photos for us. We have gotten countless compliments on them and we cannot be happier. They were easy to work with and just a kind couple that put us at ease. I highly recommend them for your special day!
We had the absolute best experience with Kindred Photography for both our engagement and wedding pictures. I am so grateful we went with Kim and Ben. They are extremely talented, professional, and passionate about capturing beautiful moments to cherish forever. They made us feel comfortable, while they considered all the creative details like lightening and background to get that perfect shot.
All of our pictures turned out stunning! We cannot thank Kim and Ben enough for everything they did to capture amazing memories on our special day. Looking forward to working with them again.
Kim and Ben were absolutely AMAZING! From planning what pictures we wanted, to hearing our vision, to nailing every part of the night...they truly hit it out of the park! They were so welcoming, friendly, and accommodating. My husband and I (who are not used to our picture being taken), felt so comfortable working with both Kim and Ben. They are a wonderful display of teamwork and collaboration. If you are looking for a photographer, Kindred Photography is a sure win!
What an incredible pair! Kim and Ben were fantastic every step of the way. They made everything so easy, and they made us so comfortable in front of a camera. From the moment we spoke to them, we knew they were kindred spirits - they’re so kind, easy going and fun to work with! Not only did they deliver the most gorgeous photos (my husband is also a photographer so this is saying a lot), they really went above and beyond to catch every detail of our multicultural wedding. They’re ninjas!
Thank you for capturing all of our special moments! Can’t recommend Kim + Ben enough!
We chose Kim and Ben to do our wedding photos, they were easy to talk to and always available when needed. We had some bad weather on our wedding, so I was worried, but they came out fantastic!! There was even an amazing one of us in the rain! could not have asked for any better. They came up with amazing ideas and shot great candid photos. We would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for a photographer.
We chose Kim and Ben to do our engagement photos and I couldn't be happier with how they came out! They were very easy to communicate with and their easygoing presence helped me to relax. Their photos look almost magical. I will definitely be using them again in the future!
Ben and Kim did an amazing job. We got married in October during the craziness of the pandemic and they worked with us through all of our changes and kept us updated. They also took any of our inspiration photos and ideas and made them a reality. They work so well together 10/10 recommend.
Ben and Kim were wonderful to work with, especially during this time during the pandemic. They were easily reachable by phone and email and they made the process less stressful for us. The quality of their work is outstanding and we can not wait to have them come and take pictures of our reception next year! They also made my now husband feel comfortable in front of the camera and were able to capture a 18 month old and a 3 year old in pictures with great ease.
Amazing couple to work with!!! Prices were incredibly reasonable and the pictures were beautiful. Highly recommend!
Kim and Ben were amazing to work with. They are very personable and kind. They did an amazing job and I couldn’t be happier. I highly recommend them. I’d say 10 stars!!!
Kim and Ben were honestly so wonderful to work with and they are such an incredibly talented team. My husband and I cannot thank you both enough for the precious moments you captured on our wedding day (and at our engagement shoot). All of the photos came out beautiful and we seriously could not have asked for anything more. I am also extremely appreciative that, on very short notice, they were able to send me wedding photos of me with my grandfather (prior to the rest of the photos being ready) so that I could share them with him before he passed away. We would highly recommend them for any event, and we definitely plan on using their services again in the future!
Kim and Ben were fantastic! Easy to work with. Easy to communicate to. Easy to get ideas from. Real down to earth people who really wanted the best for us. I liked how they asked good questions to make sure we got exactly what we wanted. They had creative solutions for us. And best of all, the picture quality was great. Great shots, great colors. We are so happy we hired them. We had a lot of deal with, they made our lives easier. We highly recommend them for your wedding.
Kim and Ben were incredible throughout the entire day and did not stop taking photographs until the very end.
They did an amazing job setting up and coordinating our first look photo, and then followed us around as we suggested different places to capture our day - as we moved from place to place, both Ben and Kim would experiment with different angles, poses, lighting etc. but made sure we were having fun with it.
At our dinner and reception, Kim and Ben navigated the crowds (we were a small venue with a large group and a band) and shot great candid photos as well as plenty of group shots.
As a husband and wife team, Kim and Ben have a great chemistry and we felt at ease throughout the day and night. I cannot recommend them highly enough.
Kindred Photography made our vow renewal a dream come true! We love all of our photos, how easy the payment process was, and how great it was working with them. They really made things simple and easy for us.
Kim and Ben were absolutely amazing for our wedding! I hate having my picture taken normally, and I was very nervous about having to take a million photos for the wedding. Kindred photography made me feel so comfortable throughout the entire day. We have a large, crazing, loving family, and Kim and Ben were able to capture each precious moment. Also, as it was pitch black and freezing out when the reception was going on, Kim and Ben made it possible to get the most epic nighttime outdoor wedding shot of us. 100% would recommend Kindred Photography
Ben and Kim were so wonderful to work with on our wedding day. My husband and I are so grateful to have met such talented and kind photographers to portray our special day. We 10/10 recommend them and 110% will be using them in the future!!!
Kim and Ben were amazing to work with! My husband and I both dislike having our pictures taken and were very anxious to be in front of the cameras all day, but Kim and Ben made us feel totally comfortable and relaxed! The overall feel for the wedding we were aiming for was fun and laid back, but still formal. Kim and Ben adapted quickly and fit right in, never pressuring or adding stress. They gave us cues and poses but also took candid photos without getting in the way of the wedding. We showed them a few inspirational photos we wanted to recreate, and they happily made them happen and took any additional photos we asked them to. We even had guests commenting how professional and awesome they were! We haven't seen the final pictures yet, but we saw a few sneak peeks on their cameras during shooting and can't wait to see the finished album! If we had to do it over again, we would hire them again without hesitation.
We hired Kim and Ben for our wedding this past October, and they were incredible! They made us so at ease being in front of the camera, and were able to wrangle our bridal party, their dates, and our families for pictures, and got some amazing shots! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for truly stand-out photographers.
Kim & Ben are such a sweet and passionate couple. They LOVE what they do and are amazing at it. We had them do our engagement photos so that we could get comfortable with their style and personalities. We hit it off right away. My husband HATES pictures and even he was able to have fun with it. I highly recommend Kindred Photography to anyone looking for high quality, super casual, low stress photography. Kim & Ben are very good at what they do and it shows in the pictures they take and the way they present themselves. We loved every minutes of working with Kim & Ben during out engagement session and wedding day. We hope to continue to work with them in the future for all of lives other moments.
We want to personally thank Kim & Ben for making our wedding day extra special. They are truly amazing at what they do.
Our photos came out amazing. They did an excellent job of capturing the wedding day and night. Not a single detail was missed. I would definitely recommend them
My husband and I got married on September 22, 2018. We found Kindred Photography on a wedding website and contacted them for a quote. They immediately replied and set up a time for us to meet them. They were both so easy going and relaxed. Their demeanor made us feel so much more comfortable about being photographed. They photographed our engagement photos and about a year later did our wedding photos. Our photos came out amazing and were the perfect touch to capturing our special day. I would highly recommend them to anyone. The bonus is definitely two photographers, especially a husband and wife who know how to capture the love you and your significant other share.
Kim and Ben were simply the best photographers. I am so glad I found them, from start to finish they were attentive, professional, and the end results are stunning. Not to mention they are really personable and easy to work with; the perfect blend of taking (beautiful) artistic license and listening to what we wanted from our photos. We could not have asked for more. If you spend money on only one thing for your wedding make it the photography, and make it Kindred!
What can be said about Kim and Ben that hasn't already been articulated regarding the quality of their work and the kindness of their spirits? I suppose the best thing to do would be to speak from the heart about not only the outcome of our wedding photos, but about the way we were touched by observing their grace and unwavering patience on the most significant day of our new life together.
Ben and Kim flew all the way out from Connecticut to shoot our wedding in Chicago and we could not have imagined anyone else in the world being with us to document and celebrate our nuptuals. Ben was the first person to show up at my house (where I was getting ready and waiting for my groomsmen to arrive) and talked me through my head space as to calm my nerves...I was noticeably shaky! Ben's advice and warm words of encouragement took me from about an "OH, I CAN'T EVEN BREATHE RIGHT NOW!" on the "THIS IS REALLY HAPPENING!" scale to right in the sweet spot of "You and your bride deserve this day, each other and all of the love that you're going to receive today." I could not have imagined the day without his guidance, direction and friendship. It is an honor to know him and a joy to have seen him on that day. Several of my friends came up to me to talk about how much fun he was having dancing and smiling and partaking in all of the fun! I owe you a great debt, Ben. Thank you for everything you are.
Kim had the pleasure of spending the day with my bride (now wife) and the photos that Kim captured brought tears to my eyes. I know my wife better than I know anyone in this life and I could clearly see that Kim knew exactly where to be and precisely what to say to make sure that Lauren was calm, collected and absolutely radiant. I honestly felt as if Kim was one of my wife's sisters on that day. The love they captured and the love that they gave is something we will cherish always.
Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, Ben and Kim. You are simply and utterly beautiful.
My husband and I cannot thank Kindred Photography enough for all the amazing memories they captured on our wedding day! Everything came out beautiful, and was exactly what we were invisioning! Everything was also given to us in a timely fashion, and even earlier than expected! We love their work and highley recomend them! We will be using them to catpture many other memories throughout our life together.
Kim and Ben did a great job! They had a good price and delivered over 1500 amazing photos of our wedding. They arrived early and started shooting right away. I often didn't even notice they were there getting candid shots. They were very nice and professional, so glad we chose them! As a fellow photographer I highly recommend Kindred!
We hired Kindred Photography for our June wedding this year. We couldn’t be happier with our decision. Ben and Kim (the owners) were incredible throughout the whole wedding process. They met with us multiple times and really got to know us and what we were looking for. During our wedding they seemed to be in the right place at the right time the whole day. What we were left with was tons of amazing photos. We were blown away with how many wonderful photos there were. All and all, they were kind, hard-working, timely, and captured every important moment with perfect photos. You can’t ask for anything more than that out of your wedding photographers!
Kim and Ben (Kindred Photography) are absolutely AMAZING! From the very first meeting to our wedding day we were put at ease with their professionalism and expertise. As my husband and I got ready in two very different locations we were thrilled that Kim was able to come to my parents while Ben went to the hotel where my husband got ready. The candid photos of us getting ready and the laughter with our bridal party could not have been better. It was such a relief to have them traveling with us, as Kim and Ben made sure my husband and I were still able to get our first look in despite us both running late due to traffic as they were in constant contact with each other. It was such a perfect moment that we were able to share together before we said "I do" and could not have been possible without them! During the ceremony we barely saw them yet the moments and photos they captured were outstanding!! We had many guests even compliment on how wonderful they were! After the ceremony while we took family and bridal party photos they were so quick and efficient that we were able to get so many more photos just my husband and I while still being able to enjoy every moment of the reception! They were especially fantastic with dealing with the heat for not only the bridal party but especially for our grandparents and making sure to get them out of the elements as quickly as they could! When the timing was right outside they made sure to grab us for sunset photos as well as a late night photo on the dock overlooking the lake we were married on! The photos are absolutely breathtaking! It will be hard to pick which ones to hang up! My husband and I could not recommend Kim and Ben more! They are the absolute best!!
Ben and Kim are AMAZING. They are the kindest people I've ever met, extremely talented and so easy to work with. They are very professional and always respond to emails/phone calls right away. My husband and I were really nervous about being in front of the camera but Ben and Kim made us feel comfortable right away and made our engagement session and wedding pictures really enjoyable. They are really relaxed which in turn made us feel relaxed and I think our pictures came out better because of that! They are really creative with their photos but also open to ideas or pictures that we wanted. Our engagement photos were stunning and we just received our wedding photos and we could not be happier with how they turned out! They captured everything from my shoes to our guests having a good time. They were also able to capture our emotions and personality so perfectly that we felt like we were reliving our wedding day as we looked through all the photos. We would highly recommend Kindred Photography to other couples!
We loved working with you. Thank you so much for making our day perfect and capturing every moment.
Kindred (Ben and Kim) are great. First, they were willing to meet me and my husband at a convenient location between our house and theirs for our initial meeting. They worked with us to come up with the a package that fit our needs and our budget. We had a great time at our engagement session and it was great to get to know them a little more during the session. My husband, Ben, Kim, and I all got along great. On the wedding day they were amazing! They were patient with our crazy groomsmen and hit all of the must have pictures we wanted. We just got our photos back and they are perfect. They captured the feelings of emotion, excitement, love, and fun of the day. I can't speak highly enough of Kindred.
Kim and Ben were great photographers for our wedding !! They captured great moments for our engagement and wedding pictures. They were also both professional and punctual . We both felt very comfortable throughout the entire process and they went over and beyond to make sure we were both happy the day of our wedding. We would HIGHLY recommend their services to anyone, you will not be disappointed !!
Ben & Kim make an amazing photography team. They were wonderful and very easy to work with. Even though most of our communication was long-distance (I was planning a CT wedding from where I currently live in NC) I felt as though I wasn't missing out on face-to-face meetings. They are very thorough and detailed through emails and make sure they capture everything you wish on your big day. I ended up with soooo many photos, it's amazing! Thank you Kim and Ben!!
Spectacular, professional, punctual, approachable, kind. Pretty much they will surpass any standard or expectation you may have. I can’t say enough how lucky my wife and I feel that we could have Kim and Ben handle our photos. Not only were the photos great, but they were so warm and friendly as well. I highly recommend them to everyone.
Ben and Kim were an absolute pleasure to work with for our wedding. They are true professionals and we felt completely confident in their work from planning to shooting to the delivery of the finished product. They are also very warm and friendly people. The combination of good personal vibes and confidence in their abilities made us feel relaxed. They have a deep understanding of the mechanics of photography and were both thorough and creative in capturing scenes and moments. Importantly, they moved and shot effortlessly without us ever noticing their presence during the ceremony and reception but also took the lead during family photos. A great value for a pair of highly skilled photographers.
