About

On WeddingWire since 2013

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 & candid moments. Your wedding is unique to your own 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 BFA's in Photography. We take pride in our artistic and photojournalistic approach to photography and are passionate & 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 best of our ability.

The.Best.Photographers.

Ben and Kim from Kindred Photography surpassed all our expectations for our wedding. Their exceptional talent behind the lens captured stunning moments throughout the day, creating a beautiful narrative of our wedding. They made us feel comfortable and at ease, ensuring natural and genuine shots. What's more, their pricing was incredibly reasonable, making them an excellent choice for any budget-conscious couple. We can't recommend Ben and Kim highly enough for their professionalism, skill, and affordability.

Winter Wedding

We had an amazing experience with Kim and Ben and their photographer.
Our family had a lot going on. I was finishing grad school, we had a new baby at home and Nick adapting to his new job. One thing we didn’t have to worry about was with our wedding pictures, they were available to answer questions, they were punctual and professional. We are very happy with our wedding pictures.

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!
