Wedding Vendors in Barkhamsted

--Pros-- We found Kindred Photography since they are listed as Wickham Park's preferred vendor for photography. Ben is a down-to-earth photographer (he was not bossing our wedding party around) - just went with the flow, and he is very knowledgeable about photography! Ben arrived to the wedding venue early to get set up and ready. Wickham Park is one of the photographer's favorite places - so they know the park well and where to go to get great photos! We appreciated Ben's advice to my husband on how to do a dip kiss for photos after the ceremony and a lift during the first look. Ben gave both of us coaching on how to pose. I communicated with Kim over text message a lot (as they are a husband and wife team). I had a couple of zoom/phone calls with Ben leading up to the wedding day - on 2/28 and 9/16. It took them about 11 weeks to get all the photos back to us. We really enjoyed the sneak peak of 17 photos sent to us 3 days after our wedding. --Cons-- The photographer needed to reschedule the calls the morning of the call or the day before the call twice. But Kim was very responsive via text message so we worked it out. I could have used more advise [before the wedding day] about what to do with my train since I was trying to decide about whether to keep it up or down for the first look the day of the wedding - like 20 minutes before the first look. Ben did not get all the additional formal photo shots we requested (my dad with his siblings, my mom with her siblings). But I'll survive without these photos - someone got a non-professional version. --Summary-- Overall, we recommend Kindred photography. We booked them about 7 months before our wedding (thank goodness they were still available). Kindred photography is modern with their technology - they give you access to an online portal to download your photos after they are ready and edited.

Our mobile bar "Drinks With Jack" had the pleasure of working alongside Amy and we couldn't rave more about the collaboration- expectations from both parties were clear and prompt communication was much appreciated. We highly recommend utilizing Amy's services to all brides and grooms!
