About

Hi, I’m Dawa. With a background in fine arts and over 200 celebrations captured, I view your wedding day as a living story. My approach blends journalistic honesty with a refined editorial touch, creating a relaxed experience that lets you stay present. I’m a big believer in being flexible and keeping the energy light because when you’re having fun and feeling at ease, that’s when the most effortless, timeless moments happen.

While I focus on capturing moments as they naturally unfold, I’ll also gently guide you with poses and direction when needed, so you never feel awkward or unsure in front of the camera. Think true-to-life color, a subtle film-inspired mood, and a calm, easygoing presence that lets your day unfold naturally.

Based in New York, always happy to travel.

the BEST photographers ever

Kinjo and Dawa are literally the BEST. We had our wedding on April 26th in brooklyn and they went above and BEYOND to make sure we felt comfortable during our wedding day. They were kind, funny, prompt, such good energy all around. If you want photographers who are truly passionate, invested, and make you feel at ease during one of the most stressful events in your life, seriously these guys are the way to go. Do not even think twice about booking them for your wedding or honestly any other event you want captured..they ROCK

NOT just a photographer, but lowkey our wedding planner. LOL

We first met Kinjo at several of our friends' weddings, and even before hiring him, we were drawn to his warm personality and easygoing nature. So, when our wedding date was finalized, K&D was the very first vendor we booked—without hesitation!

As we started planning our shoots, we quickly realized just how professional and dedicated he truly is. From our engagement session to the wedding day, Kinjo went above and beyond, not just as a photographer but as someone who genuinely cared about making our experience special. He was punctual, full of creative ideas, and incredibly supportive throughout the entire process. He even helped us with wedding planning tips and ensured our families felt comfortable with him before the big day.

Kinjo and his team are incredibly humble, kind, and efficient, making the usual wedding chaos feel effortless. His presence alone made everything feel less stressful, and for that, we’re beyond grateful. If you’re looking for a photographer who will not only capture beautiful moments but also enhance your wedding experience, look no further.

Thank you, Kinjo, for being absolutely amazing—we truly cannot recommend you enough!

Best Wedding Photo & Video Team Hands Down!

Out of all the vendors we used for our wedding, KND Fotos was hands down the best and easiest to work with. Kinjo, Dawa, and Luis are so incredibly professional, attentive to detail, creative, helpful, and skilled. They provided full photo and video services for both our wedding ceremony and reception, and the KND team captured every single special moment. They supported us every step of the way and were total visionaries, helping us with poses and the direction for everything. Not to mention, they are so kind and caring - they make you feel like family and were so sweet with all of our guests. We couldn’t be more thankful, and will be recommending them to everyone we know!

Look no further!!! Book them!

We hired Kinjo and Dawa for our September wedding in Cape Cod this year. To say we are thrilled with the whole experience of working with them - from our first call to getting our photos and video - is an understatement. They are professional and also so fun to work with. Our wedding day was unseasonably HOT, despite these conditions they were moving around capturing everything all day and all night. Something so special is that they stayed until the very end - I know other photographers don't always do this. In showing our photos to our friends and family everyone is absolutely blown away! We couldn’t be happier with how they turned out!

Exceeded all expectations!

Our experience with KnD was absolutely phenomenal. Kinjo’s attention to detail was evident in every shot, and his ability to make us feel comfortable in front of the camera was truly remarkable, allowing for natural and genuine moments to be captured.
The final photos were not only stunning but also delivered on time, beautifully edited. KnD’s professionalism and dedication definitely made our special day even more memorable. Highly recommended!

Exceptional Photography

I am the third one of our friend circle to have KnD capture our special day, which speaks volumes about the trust and admiration we have for their work.
It was an absolute pleasure working with Kinjo. His professionalism, artistry, enthusiasm, dedication, and attention to detail are all top-notch. Our beautiful gallery was delivered efficiently, and we couldn’t be happier with the pictures. Even a year later, we are still in awe of the gallery; it brings back so many lively memories.
I highly recommend the team for any photography needs—you won’t be disappointed!

Picture perfect wedding experience!

We are out of towners who were looking for local wedding photographers who could capture authentic, candid shots and the vivid tapestry of cultural traditions. Kinjo is the best of the best from start to finish and even before the wedding day. He set up calls to plan for the event and even gave us helpful tips and brought along an extra helper. He stayed longer than was necessary and made us and everyone around us comfortable and relaxed. Our joy and happiness shone through in the photos and we could not have been happier with the captured memories!

Just one simple word for her "Amazing". She did such an awesome job taking our pictures. We ask her to take our dog's picture too and she did such a great work. My husband and I we just loved work with her. She's so funny, talented and kind. She's very creative and try to do new things. I would say it was worth the money. She even get all the little details. We really love it. We will definitely hire her for our next event.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
