Austin Pacheco
Co-Owner | Lead Photographer
With six years of experience behind the camera, I’ve spent the past five years specializing in the wedding industry, capturing countless love stories and unforgettable moments. My passion lies in creating timeless images while connecting with new people and celebrating their unique journeys. When I’m not behind the lens, I love to kick back with a good laugh from Schitt’s Creek or dive into the drama of The Resident or Suits. It’s all about balance—just like capturing both the quiet, heartfelt moments and the lively celebrations of your special day.
Gina Campagnini-Ruiz
Co-Owner | Lead Planner
I’m Gina, the lead planner at Kindred Wedding + Events. My passion for wedding planning began with my own wedding in 2021, when I married my college best friend, Edgar. Since then, I’ve been dedicated to helping couples bring their dream weddings to life with creativity, care, and attention to every detail. Outside of work, my life revolves around my love for Jesus, my wonderful husband, and our sweet daughter, Liana. I also treasure spending time with others, whether it's enjoying moments with family and friends or meeting new people, and creating memories that last!

Working with Austin has been amazing! Before we were even contracted with him, Austin went above and beyond to answer detailed questions, send sample portfolios, and hop on the phone to chat anytime we needed! His authenticity, professionalism, and kind heart made it obvious that he was the perfect choice for photographing our special day! We were able to schedule a time for our complimentary engagement photoshoot, and let me just say, the photos are STUNNING! Austin had the pictures back us in no time and the experience was the perfect opportunity to get to know Austin deeper and see him working in action! I can rest assured that our wedding photos and video will turn out stunning and I have no doubts in his ability! Austin is genuinely so personable and his frequent check-ins always make my fiancé and I so glad to be working with him!

Austin was SO incredible to work with. Tinely with emails, clear, organized, and solid price point. The photo booth went great, and my fave part was the videos that people could also do! We got our photos back very quickly.

We couldn't be happier with our experience for our engagement photos. From the start, they made us feel comfortable and at ease, which made a big difference since my husband and I are not camera people. Austin and his team have a real talent for capturing both the exciting moments and the little details that we’ll treasure forever.
Throughout the process, they were professional, easy to work with, and made everything feel seamless. We were really impressed by the ability to stay organized while also being flexible when needed. The final photos are beautiful, and we’re so grateful for the way they’ve helped us preserve such important memories. If you're looking for a photographer who is both skilled and personable, we highly recommend Austin and his team!

Her attention to detail, creativity, and ability to handle every challenge with grace made the entire planning process stress-free. It was great to work with her and one of the best experiences I had working with a wedding planner.

We used Austin as our videographer for our wedding in July 2023 and he was amazing! He was super flexible and worked with us to ensure we got what we wanted within our budget! On the day of our wedding he worked tirelessly and really just went above and beyond to make sure he got the most important parts of our wedding on film. The end result was absolutely incredible too. The video was amazing and it really was anything we ever could've asked for in a wedding video. If you're considering using any of his services my husband and I highly recommend him. He'll do everything he can to make your day perfect and won't disappoint!

Highly recommend! Austin & his team were professional and easy to work with from beginning to end! They were on top of communication and always more than willing to answer any questions I could think of. The booth itself was a HUGE hit! We were really impressed with the quality, and our guests loved that they could take home their prints. Our guests had so much fun taking pictures, it was an awesome addition to our event and well worth it!
