Kindred Photography LLC is a wedding photography company based in Barkhamsted, Connecticut, that services weddings both locally and nationally.

We are committed to providing our clients with a blend of artistic and candid moments. Your wedding is unique to your love story, and so are your photographs. The in-between moments, the pure joy found in a burst of laughter—these are the magic moments.

We started Kindred Photography in 2012, shortly after getting married. We first met while attending the University of Hartford Art School, where we both graduated with our BFAs in Photography. We take pride in our artistic and photojournalistic approach to photography and are passionate and thankful to have the opportunity to do what we love for a living. Ben does a fantastic job photographing the weddings, either alone or with an experienced second photographer, and Kim takes care of the editing and behind-the-scenes.

We focus on being in the moment and being a positive and calm addition to your day. We use a mixture of natural light and on/off camera flash, depending on what is needed. We are there to capture your love story and document your day to the best of our ability.

Loved Our Experience!

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Ben and Kim from Kindred Photography for our wedding, and I can't recommend them enough! Ben was not only professional and talented, but he also brought an artist's eye to every shot. Even though we had a plan for where to take pictures at our venue, Ben would stop us and say, "Hey, what do you think about this?" His picture choices ended up being our favorites – they truly captured the essence of our day. Kim was so sweet and thoughtful, even getting me some of my pictures early so I could use them for Christmas gifts. Working with Kindred Photography was such a joy, and I am so grateful for the beautiful memories they helped us preserve!

Amazing! Artful! Affordable!!!

Kim and Ben did a fabulous job with our wedding! They did pre-wedding shots that were beautiful and intimate, they took gorgeous shots of the ceremony, and they took fun shots of the reception that I will always treasure. They were very affordable and when they could have stayed longer and charged us more, they were honest with us and told us that they had a lot already. They were right, and they did us a huge favor! Definitely hire Ben and Kim and you will not regret it!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.

We can't say enough good things about Kindred Photography! We've worked with this husband and wife team many times now and look forward to it every time! Ben and Kim have a way of setting their bride and groom at ease all while capturing the day as it happened, as if they weren't even there. They're so wonderful to work with that we also had them do our family photoshoot this last summer!
