Wow, you found this! That feels like fate.

I'm brand new to Zola. I pressed some buttons. One of them was apparently "add a banner." First 3 Zola bookings get $500 off. You're welcome.


About photokindred

owner, photographer

I get it. So many photographers, so many styles and looks, and choosing the right one can feel overwhelming. My simple suggestion: meet them. Ask yourself one question. Will they help me feel calm, comfortable, and like myself? That's really it. When you can be open and present, something genuine happens. The moments you didn't even know were happening. The ones that pull you right back to how it all felt. The vows, the first look, everything nobody thought to watch for. I create images that are natural, alive, and hopefully unlike anything you've seen before. I have been doing this since 2001 and I'd love the chance to be part of yours.

Photokindred means something. A great photograph isn't just a pretty location or a perfect smile. It's the connection living inside it. The understanding that runs deeper than any camera trick. You want a photographer who moves through your day quietly, naturally, like someone who belongs there. Whose presence protects the moment rather than interrupting it. I've spent my career learning how to do exactly that. What I'm after are the things you felt. The joy, the love, the threads that tie you to the people you shared your day with. My job is to find those threads and hold my camera up like a mirror, so you can see it the way I did.

    We truly cannot say enough good things about our experience. From the very beginning, he went above and beyond—driving all the way out to our forest to capture our engagement photos in a setting that felt deeply personal to us. He didn’t just take pictures; he took the time to understand who we are, and it shows in every single shot. Those engagement photos were already breathtaking, but somehow he made our small backyard wedding feel just as meaningful and beautifully told. He captured the quiet, intimate moments alongside the joy and emotion of the day in a way that feels so genuine and true to us. What stood out most was how comfortable he made us feel. Nothing felt forced or overly posed—just natural, candid moments that we’ll treasure forever. Every photo brings us right back to those moments. If you’re looking for someone who is not only incredibly talented but also willing to go the extra mile (literally!) to make your vision come to life, we couldn’t recommend him more highly.

    From the moment we first spoke with the Joel at Photokindred, we knew we had found our wedding photographer. His candid, photojournalistic style perfectly captured the heart-felt moments of our special day. The pictures he delivered beautifully documented all the details we wanted to remember, from the small, fleeting interactions to the biggest highlights. On the day of, Joel was incredibly personable and easy to work with - he seamlessly blended into the background, anticipating the best shots before they even happened. Looking back at our wedding photos now, we're amazed at how Joel and his team managed to freeze in time the very moments we cherish most. We couldn't be happier with the value and quality of their work, and highly recommend Photokindred to any couple planning their wedding.
