Working with Austin was amazing from start to finish! We had the ICON booth at our wedding this year, and it was a huge hit. The wedding booth package was perfect for my husband and me, and our guests enjoyed every second of it. Austin was one of the easiest vendors to work with. Communication was seamless, and he was always on top of everything. We would highly recommend working with Kindred Wedding and Events!

I had the pleasure of working with Austin and his team earlier this year, and I’m so glad we did! We found them through a friend who got married last year, and after seeing how fun their booth was, we knew we had to have it for our big day. Our guests absolutely loved it, and the team did an amazing job making everyone feel comfortable. We were especially impressed with how they made sure the kids had a blast and got to enjoy the booth as much as they wanted. We chose their wedding package, and it was absolutely perfect! We also received a guest album, and it’s full of so many amazing memories. 10/10 would definitely recommend!!

Austin Pacheco
Owner | Lead Attendant
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.

Hi, I’m Gina! I’m one of the team members behind Kindred Wedding + Events. My love for weddings started with my own in 2021, when I married my college best friend, Edgar. These days, one of my greatest joys is seeing couples and their guests light up with laughter and connection—especially through our photo booth! There’s something so special about watching people let loose, have fun, and create candid memories that they'll look back on for years to come. When I’m not celebrating with our couples, I’m soaking up time with Jesus, my amazing husband, and our sweet daughter, Liana. I love being around people—whether it's family, friends, or new faces—and I believe the best memories come from moments shared in joy.

Gina & Austin are AMAZING! The Photo Booth was more than just a booth..They created & designed a custom EXPERIENCE for our guests, Micah & I! They really took the time to understan...

d our needs and desires for the photo booth and even created custom prints with our wedding colors. We rented a sofa and a "better together" sign and they really helped create our vision with the added decor. They were very wonderful to work with and embodied hospitality in their business, communication throughout the planning process and on the day of the wedding. The Photo Booth was definitely one of the top highlights of the wedding. There was always someone at the photo booth smiling and having the best time! We received a copy of all photos taken on the wedding day from our guests, which brought the biggest smile to our faces reliving the joy from our guests on our special day. THANK YOU GINA AND AUSTIN! Wedding couples out there.... we recommend you book Kindred Wedding & Events for your day!

My Husband and I can not RAVE about Kindred enough. They brought the fun and the photo booth to our wedding at Oakdale. Our guests could not stop talking about Kindred, how nice th...

ey were to adults and kids, AND how much fun they had doing the photo booth. One of the reasons we chose Kindred is because of their Photo Booth package that included cocktail hour and reception. I am so glad we did this because it gave our guests something to do during cocktail hour while we did photos. Operation during cocktail hour was something most other Photo Booth companies do not include, and/or charge extra for! Kindred also gave us an album full of photos and little notes from out guests at the end of the night and its one of our favorite things from our wedding. If you are on the fence about having Kindred at your wedding, I can assure you you can not go wrong with this duo. We love them, and you will too ! Thank you so much Kindred !

l basically instantly, answered all of our questions so patiently, and was so enthusiastic. He helped us decide which photo booth was best for us (we went with the ICON Booth, which was perfect) and made everything so easy. He was also super flexible and helpful in designing our photo layout and custom start screen, which looked absolutely fantastic. On the wedding night itself, the photo booth was awesome, and Austin and his assistant were so nice, fun, and high energy. Multiple guests commented on how great they were, and the props they brought were such a big hit with everyone. And the quality of the photos we got was amazing!! I didn't know a photo booth could produce such high-quality photos, honestly. All that to say, Austin and Kindred Wedding and Events totally exceeded my expectations, and I can't recommend them highly enough for any couple looking for an amazing photo booth experience!!
